本单元的写作任务是写一幕戏剧。戏剧是文学体裁的一种，其基本要素包括戏剧冲突和戏剧语言。戏剧离不开冲突；戏剧语言包括人物语言和舞台说明。写好英语戏剧，应该注意以下几点：
1.确定主题、故事梗概和剧情。
2.确定剧中人物及其形象和性格特征(喜、怒、哀、乐、害羞、友好、慷慨、吝啬、恐惧以及勇敢等)。
3.确定故事发生的时间、地点及场景。
4.构思戏剧的矛盾冲突，事件的起因、发展、高潮和结局等。
Writing assignment
根据下面的提示，编写一幕80词左右的英文戏剧，介绍亨利带着一张百万英镑的钞票去理发的过程：
亨利正走在大街上，看见了一家理发店，于是决定去理他的长头发。理发匠用粗鲁的态度接待了他，亨利坐在椅子上等待，理发匠问他是否付得起理发的费用。理发结束后，亨利出示了一张百万英镑的钞票，理发匠十分吃惊，并告诉他欢迎他随时光临。
注意
写作要求是根据提示写一幕戏剧。写作时应注意下面几点：
1.确定文体：这是一幕戏剧。写作时注意戏剧的写作特点。
2.主体时态：戏剧应以一般现在时为主。
3.主体人称：由于是写一幕关于亨利和理发店老板的戏剧，所以人称应该以第一人称和第二人称为主。

Then he folds the bill and slowly unfolds it again, as if looking at something he can’t believe is there.
【句式分析】此句中，as if looking ---是as if 引导的方式状语从句的省略形式，补全则是：as if he was looking at something he can’t believe is there.
“ as if ” 用于省略句中:
He opened his mouth as if (he were) to say something.
He stood there as if (he were) waiting for someone.
He acts as if (he was / were) a fool.
She left the room hurriedly as if (she was / were) angry.
句式分析

Henry: I’m just waiting for my change.
店主：怎么了？有什么问题吗？
亨利：我只是在等他找零钱。
Owner: Give him his change, Todd. Get going. (after getting the bank note from Todd) Would it ... could it be the one I saw in the papers last week I remember thinking that never would I hold such a note as this ... (to Henry) Oh, take off this coat, sir. (to Todd) Go get the others, Todd! (to Henry again) Allow me, sir! This way, sir.
get going 快点；
出发；开始
Go get the others, Todd这句话相当于
Go to get the others, Todd 或者Go and get the others, Todd。口语中经常会有这种非正式用法。
店主：给他找零钱，特德。快点（从特德那里拿到钞票后）会不会是……是我上周在报纸上看到的那张百万英镑？记得当时我以为我（手里）永远不会握着这样一张钞票……（对亨利说）哦，先生，脱下这件外套。（对特德说）特德，快去取别的衣服过来！（再次对亨利说）先生，请让我来帮您！先生，这边请。
I remember thinking that never would I hold such a note as this ...
本句的结构分析如下：
never位于宾语从句句首，句子用倒装语序
I remember thinking that (never would I hold such a note as this)
主句 that引导的宾语从句
考点提炼
具有否定意义或否定形式的词语置于句首时引起的部分倒装 必备当具有否定意义或否定形式的词语，如not, never,neither, nor,seldom,hardly, rarely, little, nowhere, in no way, by no means(绝不)，at no time(从未), not only, not until等位于句首时，句子要用部分倒装结构，即把助动词/情态动词移到主语之前，构成”否定词语+助动词/情态动词+主语+动词原形+其他”结构。
