book  v.預(yù)定
e.g.I'm afraid these seats are already booked.
對(duì)不起，這些座位都有人訂了。

我預(yù)訂了晚上8點(diǎn)的兩人桌。

外部  adj.外部的；外表的
反義詞 inside
however adv.然而；但是
e.g.My room is small.It's very comfortable,however.
我的房間不大，但是非常舒適。
辨析however&but
1.從語(yǔ)義上看，but所表示的是非常明顯的對(duì)比，轉(zhuǎn)折的意味比however強(qiáng)。
2.從語(yǔ)法上看，but是個(gè)并列連詞，而however卻是個(gè)副詞。
3.從語(yǔ)序上看，but總是位于它所引出的分句之首，而however卻可位于分句之首、
之中或之尾。
4.從標(biāo)點(diǎn)上看，but之后一般不得使用逗號(hào)，但however位于分句之首時(shí)，通常用
逗號(hào)；位于分句之中時(shí)，通常在其前、后各加一個(gè)逗號(hào)；位于分句之尾時(shí)，則必須
在其前加逗號(hào)。
e.g.We love peace,but we are not afraid of war.
我們熱愛(ài)和平，但是我們并不害怕戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。
He hasn't arrived.He may,however,come later.
他還沒(méi)有到，不過(guò)，他可能過(guò)一會(huì)兒來(lái)。
He said that it was so.He was mistaken,however.
他說(shuō)事情是這樣的，然而他錯(cuò)了。

London to Amsterdam?
  By car and by ship.
2.What is the cheapest way?
  By coach.
3.What is the fastest way?
  By plane/Fly.
Questions:What's the best way to travel from Longdon
to Amsterdam?I am planning to travel from London to
Amsterdam.How long does the journey take and what is
the best way to travel?Could you please tell me about
the trains or ships to get there?The more information,
the better.Thanks!
Best answer:There are four ways to travel.
A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach,but
a lot more expensive.When you go by train,buy your ticket
a long time before you travel.It's usually cheaper.
You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea.
This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the
most expensive.Book your ticket before you book your hotel.
Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive,so stay
outside the city centre and travel in by bus or train.
The third choice is by coach.This is usually the cheapest,but
in summer,the coaches sometimes get crowded!And it takes you
about twelve hours to get there.
However,it will not cost as much as going by train.
Finally,you can fly.It's the fastest and the second cheapest,
but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of
bad weather.
Well,I hope this helps!Have a great trip!
Number the ways of travelling from the most expensive to the
least expensive.
Complete the table.

Work in pairs
Ask and answer about the ways of travelling.Use the information in the
table.
-What's the cheapest way to travel from London to Paris?
-The cheapest way is by coach.

Writing
Write a passage about ways of travelling from London to
Paris.Use the information in Activity 5 and the passage in
Activity 2 to help you.
Possible answer
You can go from London to Paris by coach,plane or train.Travelling
by plane is the fastest but also the most expensive way to get
there.It's also less interesting than by coach or by train.The
coach is cheaper than the train and the plane,but it's also slower
and uncomfortable.
The train is the second most expensive and second fastest way to
travel.Travelling by train is the most interesting way because you
can look out of the window at the countryside.
1.journey,travel和trip的用法辨析
journey名詞，意為“旅行”、“旅程”。常指遠(yuǎn)距離的或陸地的旅行。一般指單程，
不回到出發(fā)地的旅行。
travel名詞，意為“旅行”。泛指一般意義的旅行，不能特指某一次的旅行。前面
可以用物主代詞，但不能與many或數(shù)詞連用。
trip名詞，意為“旅行”、“遠(yuǎn)足”。常指近距離的旅行或遠(yuǎn)足。一般指雙程，還
回到出發(fā)地的旅行。
2.cost的用法
cost作名詞時(shí)，意為“價(jià)錢(qián)”；“成本”；“代價(jià)”。作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，意為“價(jià)錢(qián)為”；
“花費(fèi)”。cost作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，過(guò)去式和過(guò)去分詞同原形形式一樣，三詞同形。
3.講解點(diǎn)撥
The more information,the better.
信息越多越好。
“the+比較級(jí),the+比較級(jí)”是個(gè)固定句型，意為“越...，就越...”。
e.g.The older he gets,the happier he is.
     他越活越開(kāi)心。
    The more dangerous it is,the more he likes it.
     越危險(xiǎn)他越喜歡。
4.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach,but a lot
more expensive.
在比較級(jí)前添加a lot,much,a little,a bit等詞，可以說(shuō)明程度；
添加even,still等詞，可以表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。
e.g Tom's room is a bit bigger than Lily's.
     湯姆的房間比莉莉的大一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。
