Ⅱ. Sentences:
1. It’s a little weird, isn’t it? (Para. 1)
感觉有点怪怪的，不是吗？
反意疑问句强调句子的前半句。例如：
They work hard, don’t they? 他们努力工作，不是吗？
You didn’t go, did you? 你没去，是吗？
2. Time to relax; the hard part is over: your parents are out of your dorm, and if you’re lucky your stuff is all put away, your furniture is arranged and you are stress-free, lying in the bottom bunk. (Para. 2)
是轻松一下的时候了；艰难的时光已经过去：父母已经离开你的宿舍，而且如果走运的话，你的东西已经收拾妥当，家具也已各就各位，你正躺在下铺，毫无压力。
这是一个并列复合句。在第二个分句 the hard part is over 后面有两个并列的、起说明作用的子句，其中第二个子句是一个包含条件从句的复合句，即 if you’re lucky your stuff is all put away, your furniture is arranged and you are stress-free, lying in the bottom bunk。
3. This first week is going to be a whirlwind, but take advantage of the energy while you have it. (Para. 4)
开学的第一周会很忙乱，但是一定要趁你有精力的时候充分利用好它。
这是一个并列复合句。前一个分句用了一个隐喻，将大学第一周充实而忙碌的生活比做“旋风”（whirlwind）；后一个分句是一个祈使句，其中 while you have it 是一个时间状语从句，表示“当你有精力的时候”，it 指前面所说的 energy。
4. You’re an adult, capable of making decisions, taking responsibility, and dealing with consequences. (Para. 6)
你已经是个成年人，能够自己做决定、担责任、应对后果。
这里 capable of 后面用了三个动名词短语，做介词 of 的宾语，整个 capable of 结构是 adult 的后置定语。翻译时，如果后置定语较短，就放在所修饰的词语之前；如果后置定语较长，则单独译成一个句子。
Ⅲ. Exercises
Ⅳ. Pronunciation: parison between /I/ and /i:/.
Tips:
/I/ 和 /i:/ 是两个不同音质的音，不能把 /i:/ 简单地看成是 /I/ 的延长。/i:/ 的音长是 /I/ 的两倍以上, 舌位比/I/ 高，嘴的开口程度比 /I/ 小，下颌肌肉以及整个口腔的紧张程度比 /I/ 高，嘴唇向两边拉伸，如同微笑。
Ⅴ. Grammar: Parts of Speech
请看下面句子，学习词性的用法：
a. ... I went to ... an ice cream social. (Text A)
b. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. (Text B)
上面例句 a 中的 social 做名词，意为“联欢会”，但更多时候它做形容词，意为“社会的；社交的”。而上面例句 b 中的 growing older 和 growing up 两个词组分别表示的是“长大”和“成长”这两个概念，两个 growing 都是介词between 的宾语，所以需要用动名词，而不能用动词原形grow。英语单词有十种词性，具有辨别词性的能力是正确使用词汇的前提，也是学好英语的保证。但是在实际运用中，英语词性的误用或混用现象非常普遍，严重影响了英语表达的准确性。

Part 3: Text Analysis
Ⅰ. 1. Writing style
This is a short essay about college students’ first days on campus. An essay is an analytic or interpretative literary position dealing with a subject from a limited or personal point of view. In the text, the author uses her own personal experiences to give some advice to new college students. So what she said is persuasive and believable.
In terms of structure, the text is loosely organized, but it centers on one topic—giving advice to new college students. To give her suggestions, the author uses many imperative sentences, which make the suggestions more direct and clearer. The author also uses metaphor and parallel structure to make her essay more vivid. For example, “whirlwind” (Para. 4) is used metaphorically to describe the busy state of the students in the first week. “Be who you are. ... Be genuine, be caring, ...” (Para. 6) are parallel structures, which make the sentences more coherent and rhythmic.
Ⅱ. 2. Text summary
This text is mainly about how to live the college life as a new student. Through her own experiences on campus, the author tells the freshmen to enjoy the first night on campus and have a good sleep because the following days will be both busy and exciting. To have an enjoyable college life, the author suggests that students should be genuine, be caring, study hard, expand their horizons and make friends.
