Sample Outline
Paragraph 1: going to London to see the Tower of London
Paragraph 2: Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, London Eye,
Millennium Bridge
Paragraph 3: by train, short trip
Paragraph 4: buy some souvenirs
Dear Richard,
My time in England is going wonderfully! My new school is amazing, and all the teachers and classmates are so friendly. Over the Christmas holiday, my parents and I are going up to London to see the Tower of London. This is the old castle that the king used to live in. Later, it was used as a prison for people who angered the king. It’s also where the marvellous Crown Jewels are located. I just can’t wait to see it. It has such an incredible history and there are so many amazing stories connected with it.
We’re also planning on seeing Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Millennium Bridge while we are there, and of course we’re going to ride on the London Eye! I think my mother is mostly interested in the shopping, however, so we will also stop by Regent Street.
We plan on taking a train up, which should only take an hour and a half. Since we are staying for a week, we plan on just stretching our legs a little after we arrive and then hitting the sights the next day.
Well, I guess that’s about it for now. I’ll buy you a souvenir from the Tower shop. Talk later!
Your friend,
Xiao Li

It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues，and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s. 令人惊奇的是，这里有8 000多座雕像，而在现代，直到20世纪70年代才有人知道它们。
(1)It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues是一个主语从句，it是形式主语，真正的主语是that there are more than 8,000 statues。
(2)句中 until为介词，意为“直到”。until 还可作连词，引导时间状语从句。
until 的具体用法：
③强调 until 构成的时间状语(从句)的用法：
a．将 not until 置于句首：此时句子/主句部分倒装，not 为句子/主句中的否定副词。
Not until he came back did we go.
直到他回来我们才走。
b．not until 强调句式：“It is/was not until...that...”，其中 not 为句子/主句中的否定副词。
It was not until he came back that we went.
直到他回来我们才走。

We’re taking the train，leaving the day before the October holiday begins. 我们将在十月假期开始的前一天乘火车离开。
(1)本句是主从复合句。主句是We’re taking the train；leaving the day before the October holiday begins是现在分词短语，在句中作状语；before the October holiday begins是before引导的时间状语从句。
(2)现在分词短语leaving the day...在句中作伴随状语。现在分词作伴随状语时表示分词动作伴随谓语动作发生。
现在分词作状语的用法：
①现在分词可作时间、伴随、条件、方式、原因、结果等状语，其中作时间、条件、原因、结果状语时可转化成相应的状语从句，而作伴随和方式状语时只能转化成并列分句。
He is lying on the grass listening to music.
＝He is lying on the grass and he is listening to music.
他正躺在草地上，听着音乐。(伴随状语)
Walking in the street (＝When/While I was walking in the street), I saw him. 我在街上走时看到了他。(时间状语)
②现在分词的逻辑主语与句子主语一致，且 doing 表示 do 与其逻辑主语之间是主谓关系；being done 表示 do 与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系；若分词动作发生在谓语动作之前，则用完成式 having done；若表示被动和完成，则用 having been done。
Being surrounded, the enemy was forced to surrender.
敌人被包围了，被迫投降。
Having failed many times, he didn’t lose heart.
尽管失败了很多次，但他没有灰心。
单句语法填空
①The park was full of people，____________(enjoy) themselves in the sunshine.
②Like ancient sailors，birds can find their way _________(use) the sun and the stars.

The statues fill only one part of the emperor’s huge tomb，which still has not been completely unearthed. 这些雕像只填满了秦始皇巨大陵墓的一部分，这个陵墓至今尚未完全出土。
(1)这是一个主从复合句。主句是The statues fill only one part of the emperor’s huge tomb；which still has not been completely unearthed是which引导的非限制性定语从句，关系代词which指代先行词tomb，并在定语从句中作主语。
(2)which引导的非限制性定语从句
关系代词which在非限制性定语从句中所指代的可以是主句中的名词、形容词、短语、其他从句或整个主句，在从句中作主语、动词宾语、介词宾语或表语。
单句语法填空
①These apple trees，_________ I planted three years ago，have not borne any fruit.
②The sun heats the earth，_________ is very important to us.
③She and her family bicycle to work, _________ helps them keep fit.

However，no one in modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974，when some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well! 然而，直到1974年，一些农民在挖井时发现了这座陵墓，现代才有人知道这座古墓和兵马俑！
(1)这是一个主从复合句。主句是no one in modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974；when some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well是when引导的定语从句，其中又包含了while they were digging a well这个时间状语从句。
(2)关系副词when可引导限制性定语从句，也可引导非限制性定语从句，此时，先行词往往是表示时间的名词，如day，time，year等；when在从句中作状语相当于“相应的介词in/during/at/on等＋which”。
I still remember the day when(＝on which) I first went to college.
我仍然记得我上大学的那一天。(when在从句中作时间状语)
It happened ten years ago，when I was a child.
事情发生在10年前，当时我还是个小孩。(when在从句中作时间状语)
when在定语从句中作时间状语，如果定语从句中缺少主语，宾语，表语，即使先行词为day，time，year等一些表时间的名词也不用when，要用关系代词which/that。
I’ll always remember the days which/that we spent together.
我永远记得我们一起度过的日子。(which/that在从句中作宾语，可省略)
单句语法填空
