《I know that you will be better at maths》My future life PPT课件

Go and bid farewell to each of your classmates,   because maybe it is the last time you can see them face to face.

Leave your address and telephone number to all your friends.

Take photos with your classmates and your best friend, it is a kind of memory which can last forever.

Take photos with the campus which you live with for three years , but remember to put on your biggest smile you ever have.

Say sorry to your friend whom you never have the courage to apologize to.

4. Of course some people laughed, and I felt quite silly.

当然有些人笑了，我也觉得很傻。

辨析：silly, foolish与stupid 这3个词都有“蠢”的含义：

silly  是一个无伤大雅，甚至显得童稚可爱的词汇，如父母可以说孩子silly，但没有一个父母会认为自己的孩子 foolish 或stupid。

foolish  语气次之，通常形容由于缺乏常识，判断能力有限而做出不恰当的决定。反义词wise。

stupid   语气最强。一般指某人缺乏正常的理解力，智力上有天生的缺陷，所以这是一个贬义词.
