我和女儿说英语2
今天我们要学名词，形容词的同义词。
我：What's a noun?
女儿：Noun is a thing.
我：You are very close. Noun is a name, a thing or a place. What's an adjective?
女儿：Adjective is a describing word.
我：Fantastic. We are going to learn synonym today. A pair of synonyms discribe similar thing. For example, if I say "sea", what's the other word for "sea"？
女儿：Ocean.
我：Right. How about "forest" and "hill"?
女儿：Er...Jungle, mountain.
我：Look at these words, they are nouns. Try to write their synonym.
我写了stream, marsh, road, shop, pool.
女儿写了river, swamp, street, store or supermarket, pond.
我：Excellent. Here I have got some weather words for you to find sets of synonyms that describe similar kinds of weather.
我写了Showery, frosty, breezy.
女儿写了Showery, rainy, drizzly
frosty, freezing, cold, icy
breezy, windy
我：Can you think of some more words and synonym to describe the weather?
女儿写了Wet, damp
Hot, blazing, burning
我：Excellent. I am now going to read you a story. There are two characters in this story, Miss Honey the teacher and Miss Trunchbull the headmaster. Can you tell me what it is like for Miss Honey in Miss Truchbull's office after you hearing it?
女儿：OK.
我开始读一段文章，大意就是校长Miss Truchbull是个很凶的人，老师Miss Honey必须要去校长室告诉她一些事，但她很害怕和校长说话。
女儿：Miss Honey is frightened.
我：Good. What else do you think?What is the other words for frightened. I have got one "scared".
女儿：Terrified. She might want to go back as quick as possible.
我：True. Do you think She will be comfortable and relax in headmaster's office?
女儿：No. I've got another one "nervous".
我：Yes. She will be nervous. She might quiver but try to be smart.
女儿：Yes. She might freeze with fear.
我：Right. All these words describe the same feeling of Miss Honey. So they are synonyms.
我写了frightened, scared, terrified, nervous, quiver, freeze with fear.
女儿：I got it..
