It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends.among prep. 在之中辨析：between和among between一般表示在两者之间，常用and连接两个具体的人或物。among一般表示在三个或三个以上的人或物之间，其宾语通常是表示笼统数量或具有复数意义的名词或代词。e.g. Can you tell the differences between the two pictures? 你能告诉我这两幅画之间的区别吗？ Who sings best among them? 他们之中谁唱歌唱的最好呢？2. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.make speeches表示“做演讲”。give thanks (to sb.) for (doing sth.)表示“对某人做了某事表示感谢”，这里thanks用作名词。give也可以换成其他动词。e.g. She expressed her thanks to her friends for coming the party. 她对朋友们来参加聚会表示感谢。thanks for (doing) sth. 也可以表达相同的意思。e.g. Thanks for your support. 谢谢你的支持。3. We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. since 表示“自从”，常与完成时连用。【观察】请仔细观察下列例句，然后补全结论部分所缺的内容。1) Uncle Li has worked in the factory since 2000.2) Mikes parents have been in the south since two years ago.3) The Smiths have worked there since they moved to the city.4) Tina has lived in Beijing since she came to China.5) It is more than two years since our family moved to Zhengzhou.6) It has been three weeks since we won the football game. 【结论】1. 通过观察例句1和2，我们可以发现：since可以作_（介词 / 连词），其后常接表示某一时间点的单词或短语，并且其谓语动词必须是延续性动词，多用于_时态。2. 通过观察例句36，我们可以发现：since可以作_（介词 / 连词），引导时间状语从句，其主句通常用现在完成时态，从句用_时态。当主句中含有静态意义的动词，特别是含有be动词时，常使用一般现在时态，即可使用句型“It _ + 时间段 + since + 从句”，也可以使用“It _ + 时间段 + since + 从句”来表达。4. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter.after在句中引导时间状语从句，表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。e.g. After we had finished the work, we went home.完成工作之后，我们回家了。 5. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. following adj. 接着的by eating a dinner of the new food在句中作方式状语, 表示“以聚餐品尝新食物的方式(来庆祝)”。by doing sth.常用来表示“以某种行为方式”。e.g. The little girl earns her living by selling newspapers.小女孩靠卖报纸为生。Step 7 WritingThink about the most unforgettable festivals you have enjoyed.
