Unit 3 Travel journal ? 单词语境记忆 The Smiths are fond of travelling. They’ve been to many places in the world ever since they got married. This summer, as usual, they plan to travel abroad. Their son, Tom, who has just graduated from university, makes up his mind to join them this time. However, they have different attitudes towards the transport and schedule of the journey. The couple prefers to travel by train which they think is cheap and reliable although it leaves at midnight. While Tom, who cares much about the health of his parents, is for taking the plane, which is quick and convenient in his eyes. He tries all possible means to persuade his parents to change their minds. After days’ efforts, the couple finally gives in. They let Tom organize the whole journey. And as the young man promises, the journey proves to be pleasant in the end. ? ? 热点词汇学习 ★? prefer: vt.更喜欢，选择某事物 prefer sth./sb.更喜欢…… prefer (sb.) to do sth.更喜欢某人做…… prefer A to B更喜欢A胜过B prefer doing A to doing B 宁愿做……不愿做…… prefer to do…rather than do…宁可……也不…… prefer that更喜欢【that从句中常用should+动词原形】 ①I prefer coffee to tea. 我更喜欢咖啡胜过茶。 ②I prefer to go to the movies. 我更想去看电影。 ③I prefer living abroad to staying at home. 我宁愿去国外生活也不愿呆在家中。 ④I prefer to do it on my own rather than ask for help. 我宁愿自己独立完成也不想请求帮助。 ⑤I would prefer that you will not mention my name. 我希望你不要说出我的名字。 Many university students prefer _____ in the countryside rather than _____ in a big city.
