PROGRAMME 20
PART I - The Dialogue
有几个高中学生在和老师进行讨论。一开始，他们讨论的是课余做工的事。
TEACHER：
O.K. -working after school.
Ah...Chris, you work after schol,don't you? What do you think of it?
CHRIS:
I think it's good. It gives me a bit more spending money.
TINA:
Hm...You may be right, Chris, but it can affect your school work.
CHRIS:
My school work's O.K.!
TINA:
But you don't have any leisure time.It's all work, work,work!
CHRIS:
Ienjoy myfelf at work. I meet lots of different people.
TINA:
Maybe, but I think people need leisure time. And with exams coming up you need all the time you can get.
PAUL:
Right!
后来，他们又讨论关于考试的事。这一段，此处没有选印。不过如果你学第II部分所列词语，听广播时就没有困难了。

PART III - The Lesson
AGREEING AND DISAGREEING
同意与不同意
关于怎样表示同意和不同意，我们在第6讲和第19讲学了以下几个说法：
表示同意 表示不同意
I agree. I don't agree.
I think so too. I disagree.
So do I. I don't think so.
Right . That's true,but ...
在这一讲里，我们要学习以下几个新的说法：
1.HALF-AGREEING WITH
SOMEONE表示不完全同意
You may be right, but ...(参看对话)
Maybe, but...(参看对话)
随后我们常常要提出相反的意见或论点。广播里有这样一段对话：
JOHN：
I like this song. It's lively.
BARBARA:
You may be right, but it's noisy.
2.AGREEING STRONGLY
表示非常同意
表示非常同意，说法很多，常用的有：
Exactly.
I couldn't agree more.
3.BEING EXTRA POLITE WHEN DISAGREEINGP客气地表示不同意
I don't quite agree.
(加了quite 这个小词，句子就显得较为客气。)
请看下面这个例子：
BARBARA:I like music.
JOHN: I do too.
(请参看第19讲第III部分)
这个说法也可以表示同意，或者表示与前面一句肯定的话相同的意思。
请注意，表示这样的意思，可以使用下面两个公式：
主语+助动词+TOO
或SO +助动词+主语
He likes music. She does TOO.
So does she.
They'll come. I will TOO.
SO will I.
We've finished. Paul hs TOO.
SO has paul.
You remembered. Chris did TOO.
SO did Chris.
PRONUNCIATION CORNER
a) 关于some 一词的读音：
i)[ ] 这是最常用的读法。some 后面如有一个名词，而句子的重点也在这个名词，而不在于数量，就用这种读法。
I'd like some tea ,thanks.(请注意，这种弱读形式是不能重读的。)
ii)[ ]表示的意思与(i)相同，但后面没有名词。
Yes, I'd like some, thanks.
iii)[ ]表示一定数量，但句子的重点在于说明只有“少量” ，而不在于名词本身。
I've got some paper(but not much).
iv)[ ] 表示一部分，而不是全部。
Some of my friends.
Some people think...
some kids get sick...
在上述（iii）和（iv）两种情况，some一词总是重读的。
b)I couldn't agree more [ ]
在说这句话时，请注意第二个词与第三个词怎样连读。请反复练习。
