bobo Posted March 2, 2006 at 12:22 PM Posted March 2, 2006 at 12:22 PM English learning is so complicated here in China. We have to learn hundreds of English grammar rules! Although I’m sick of it, I have to find out these “why”s in the sentences as a senior 3 student facing the critical university entrance exam. What would you choose, and tell me why 1/( ) It seems impossible for us to read anything without the mind making reference to the framework knowledge _____ has already acquired.A. whatB. thatC. whichD. it 2/( ) The arguments, the smiles and your ______ all are memories of days gone by.A. companyB. companionC. companionshipD. friend And please tell me what this sentence means "At that point, what should happen but the wouldn’t start." thanks in advance!

angel_christ Posted March 2, 2006 at 04:03 PM Posted March 2, 2006 at 04:03 PM Arrr... I have problems with grammar here as well. I'm bad at tense and Active/Passive voice. My favourite is vocabularies. But well, we don't usually worry about grammars in real life, do we? Just communicate to other people and if they understand you, it's OK. At least we can speak English!!! Many students here in Thailand always worry about grammars when they came face to face with the native speaker and lost all the courage to speak with them. P.S. Except for the examination. We have to be very accurate!!! ARGHHHH!!!

Although I’m sick of it, I have to find out these “why”s in the sentences as a senior 3 student facing the critical university entrance exam. What would you choose, and tell me why I choose B. so that, the sentences will sounds like this.. It seems impossible for us to read anything without the mind making reference to the framework knowledge that has already acquired. then in question number 2.. my answer is: A. because it sounds a lot better, i think.. The arguments, the smiles and your company all are memories of days gone by. Quote

Clari Posted March 3, 2006 at 02:43 AM Posted March 3, 2006 at 02:43 AM Hm...I would have thought-C <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, I would have said C for number one. "D" for number one doesn't make sense to me... or am I going crazy. I never did like grammer. Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/CelineSmiles/hamster.gif CLARiSSA Xxx...

"D" for number one doesn't make sense to me... or am I going crazy. I never did like grammer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guessed C for #1, but since the ans turned out to be D, I think 'it' is referred to 'the mind', not the whole phrase fr 'themind' to 'knowledge'. that phrase is just an addition. Compare: Jack, as well as his friends, is.... , 'as well as his friends' is also an addition It seems impossible for us to read anything without the mindmaking reference to the framework knowledgeit has already acquired. Does that make sense? Blah, I dunno! My grammar sucks anyway.... Edited March 3, 2006 at 03:31 AM by scallywag Quote http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2391/celine3ui.jpgIt's a consolation.
