Explanation
1. Could you answer the telephone, please?
could是can的過去式，但并不是過去時態，表示比較客氣委婉地請求，比 can更客氣。Could you …? 表示說話人的一種委婉請求或要求。
answer the telephone接電話。answer還有“回答”的意思。e.g.：
Could I have fall one,please?
Could you carry the books to the classroom, please?
Could I open the door?
My sister answered the telephone.
I’m sorry I can’t answer your questions?
2. I’ll get it? 我來接電話。
這是一句最常用的接電話的句子。當電話鈴響的時候，表示自己來接電話。
3. Could I speak to Jim, please?這是句電話用語。句中的speak 不能換成talk 或者say。
ask sb. to do sth.意思是“請某人做某事�！比纾�
She asked me to help her with English this afternoo
4. I’m afraid he’s at the moment.
be afraid +從句，意為“恐怕”，表示一種委婉否定的意思，相當于I’m sorry 無“害怕”之意。
e.g. I’m afraid I can’t come.
be afraid of+名詞，意為“害怕”。
e.g. I’m afraid of dogs. 我害怕狗。
“be afraid”常用于口語中，表示遺憾，歉意及來不確定的語氣。如：
I’m afraid he’s out at the moment. 這里“he’s out at the moment.”是賓語從句。
5. Could you ask him to call me, please?
call me “給我打電話”，= call me up= telephone me= phone me= ring me。e.g.：
I want to telephone my sister.
Who phoned you yesterday?
Please ring me up at six o’clock tomorrow morning.
6. It’s a pleasure.(My pleasure.)這是一件愉快的事。此句為回答謝意的一種方式。回答謝意還有幾種方式：
You are welcome.
With pleasure.
Not at all.
Don’t mention it.
That’s all right.
That’s ok.
Thanks a lot.= Thank You.= Thank You very much. =Thanks a lot. =Thanks. many thanks .
7. Write down the answers?
write…down 表示“把…寫（記）下來” 。后面可跟介詞短語on… 。e.g.：
Please write these words on your exercise books.
Would you like to write your name down on my book，please?
類似的詞組還有turn on, put away, put on, pick up, take off.等。如：Will you please pick it up?

By the way, what’s your name?

Step 2. 學生閱讀文章后回答教師提出的問題。
Question:
1) When did the students go to the farm?
2) Were there many apples on the tree?
3) Why did the farmers need help?
4) Did the students enjoy the work?
5) Why did they need ladders?
6) Who picked the most apples?
Explanation
1. the next day 與 tomorrow 的區別：
the next day用于過去時態；而tomorrow用于將來時態。
He will go to Beijing tomorrow.
He went to Beijing the next day.
next+時間名詞，指從現在開始的“下一個”，“第二個”，用在將來時中，the next+時間名詞，指過去某一個時間的“下一個”，“第二個”。如：
The next day I left home very early .
She’s going to Hangzhou next month.
2. There were many apples on the trees.
There were ….表示存在的句型，是 there be….的過去式。e.g.：
There were many trees in our school.
Was there a car before our classroom yesterday?
There be 結構的過去時態。
be的現在式為am, is, are; 過去式為was, were.
am, is---was; are-were
e.g. There was a big tree in front of the house last year.
There were some people in the room just now.
there be結構的否定式在be后加not,即was not(=wasn’t)
were not(=weren’t)；疑問句是將was，were置句首。
There wasn’t a message.
Was there a message?
Yes, there was./No, there wasn’t.
There weren’t enough nuts.
Were there enough nuts?
Yes, there were./ No, there weren’t.
3. But there were not enough people to pick them.句中的enough為形容詞，意思是“足夠的”。修飾名詞people，enough一詞作為副詞，它修飾形容詞，副詞時，放在形容詞或副詞之后，e.g.：She is old enough to look after herself.
enough 修飾名詞時，通常放在前面；而修飾形容詞、副詞時必須置于其后。
e.g.：We have enough time to go to the station.
My sister is old enough to go to school.
There were not enough people to pick apples.（形容詞） That’s enough.（名詞）
He runs fast enough.
3. The men and woman lifted the fruit on to the trucks.句中on to“到…上面去”，在此句中為介詞還可以合在一起合成onto如：He jumped onto the horse.
