在我那個地方，我們的時間觀念比較隨意。WhereI’mfrom是一個由where引導(dǎo)的地點狀語從句。e.g.Juststaywhereyouare.就留在你原來的地方。Languagepointsberelaxedabout/at意為“對……隨意；對……寬松”，后可接名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式。Infact,theyarerelaxedaboutthematch.事實上,他們對這次比賽感到很放松。It’snecessarytolearnhowtorelax.學(xué)會怎樣放松是必要的。Wehadaveryrelaxingtimeduringthevacation.假期我們過得很放松。【歸納拓展】你會正確“放松”嗎?詞匯詞性用法relax動詞意為“放松；休息”，其現(xiàn)在分詞形式是relaxing，過去式、過去分詞形式是relaxed。relaxed形容詞意為“放松的；寬松的；輕松自在的”,用來修飾、說明人的情感狀態(tài)。relaxing形容詞意為“令人放松的”,用來修飾、說明事物的特征。Wecanrelaxourselvesandfeelreallyrelaxedbytakingarelaxingtrip.通過輕松的旅行,我們可以放松自己并使自己感到真正的放松。Theirparentsarerelaxedaboutwhattheydoathome.他們的父母對他們在家做的事情很寬松。1.Teresa

意為“重視；珍視”。value還可以作名詞，意為“價值”。例句：Which
