跟讀內(nèi)容：今天跟讀的是C11 Test3 Par2的第21句到第32句

跟讀時(shí)間：早上08:30-10:00分

跟讀心得日記：

1、Most shops are small independent stores, which is good, but many people prefer to use supermarkets and department stores in nearby large towns, as there are so few well-known chain stores here（C11 Test3 Par2第22句）

跟讀這句話，相當(dāng)于一次過，學(xué)到了好多個(gè)關(guān)于商店的表達(dá)：

shop，store， supermarket， department store，這些可能大家都知道

另外就是independent store 獨(dú)立店，以及chain store 連鎖店

2、Turning now to medical facilities, the town is served by family doctors in several medical practices-fewer than 50 years ago, but each catering for far more patients.（C11 Test3 Par2第23句）

跟讀這句話，我才發(fā)現(xiàn)，cater這個(gè)詞除了提供餐飲的意思外，還可以表示提供服務(wù)，滿足。。。的需求等，有點(diǎn)類似于serve的意思。

3、Services, such as website design and accountancy, have grown in importance, and surprisingly, perhaps, manufacturing hasn't seen the decline that has affected it in other parts of the country.（C11 Test3 Par2第28句）

在某個(gè)領(lǐng)域的重要性持續(xù)提升，可以使用sth has grown in importance 的結(jié)構(gòu)來表達(dá)

4、Instead, the company has bought some adjoining land, and this will be used to increase the number of Parking spaces（C11 Test3 Par2第32句）

adjoin 是動(dòng)詞，表示“毗鄰、鄰接”，強(qiáng)調(diào)直接接觸或共享邊界。這里用了其現(xiàn)在分詞形式adjoining來做形容詞，表示相鄰的。

而類似的adjacent ，雖然也是形容詞，表示“鄰近的、毗連的”，但強(qiáng)調(diào)位置接近但不一定直接接觸；

所以當(dāng)表示兩個(gè)直接交界相接觸的地方，用adjoining更準(zhǔn)確。
