Review of the text

A blind man and his “eyes”

in a fire

A blind man and his “eyes” in a fireRepeat the text after the tape.One day, John Dancer and Charlie arrived at a hotel.

“Good evening, sir,” said the receptionist. “You’re welcome to stay, but I’m sorry that we don’t allow pets here.”“Charlie isn’t a pet,” said John. “He’s my eyes. I’m blind and I can’t go anywhere by myself.” The receptionist apologized and led John and Charlie to their room.

John was very tired. He soon fell asleep. Some time later, Charlie started barking. John woke up and smelt smoke. A fire! Smoke started to come in from under the door.With Charlie’s help, John put some wet towels along the bottom of the door. Then he got down on the floor next to Charlie and waited. Soon he heard the sound of a fire engine. A fireman arrived and got him out of the building, but the fireman did not want to take Charlie. John would not go without his “eyes”. Finally, the fireman got Charlie out of the building too and they were both safe.

Strategy trainingWhere is the mistake?

Sentence 1Wrong sentence Mistake Why

The firemen arrived in the scene of the fire and rescued them.arrived inarrive in后面一般加较大的地方，如国家，省份， 城市等。arrive at后面一般加较小的地方，如车站、 机场、村庄、学校等。若后面没有地点或跟方位 副词则不需要加介词。

Correct sentence

The firemen arrived at the scene of the fire and rescued them.

Sentence 2Wrong sentence Mistake

Most girls’ parents don’t allow them stay out late.allow them stay

Why

allow与let意思相近，但在使用上有区别：let sb. do sth.;allow sb. to do sth.。Most girls’ parents don’t allow them to stay out late.

Correct sentence

Sentence 3Wrong sentence Mistake

Ross hates Maths, and he always falls sleepy in Maths classes.falls sleepysleepy是形容词，意为“困倦的；瞌睡的”。可以说 feel sleepy意为“感到有睡意，但没有睡着”。asleep 是形容词，只能作表语，意为“睡着的”。fall asleep 是动词词组，意为“睡着了”。

Why

Correct sentence

Ross hates Maths, and he always falls asleep in Maths classes.

ConclusionFrom these sentences, we’ve learnt that:

Prepositions of position

One more sentenceWrong sentence

I always like to sit nex

t my best friend.sit next my best friendnext是形容词，单用表示 “下一个”。next to意为 “紧靠 的旁边”。next to的近义词有beside和by, 它们都属于方位介词。
