Billworks harder than Joe and grows more flowersand vegetables, but Joe's garden is moreinteresting. He has made neat paths and hasbuilt a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardenstoo, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and Ialways win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!

精讲笔记：

4.Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's.

比尔.弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大。

语言点 比较级和最高级一定都是在同类事物间作比较，花园和花园相比，人和人相比。文中是两个人的花园作比较，因此than后面应用所有格Joe's.

5.Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's gardenis more interesting.

比尔比乔更加努力地劳作，在花园里种植了很多花草和蔬菜，但是乔的花园却显得更有生机。

语言点 比较学习：plant, grow

plant种植(强调种的动作);grow种植(强调种植以后的栽培、管理过程)

植树节翻译为"Tree Planting Day"最佳。

6.He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool.

他在花园里开辟了一条条整洁的小径，还在池塘里修建了一座木桥。

语言点1 make a new path修建一条新路=break a new way开辟一条新路=dig a new road挖掘一条新路

语言点2 over的含义是指高于某物但没有接触：

flew over a pool从水池上飞过;jump over the little bridge从小桥上跳过
