e.g. We shouldn’t laugh at the person who is disabled.

2. Today, thanks to their kindness, my Chinese is much better, and we become friends.

thanks to +名词/v-ing 多亏，由于

4. I give the white rose to my teachers, who have taught me that there is no success without effort.

who have taught me that there is no success without effort是一个非性定语从句，对前面的先行词teachers进行信息的补充，而不是限定性描述。与限定性定语从句不同，非限定性定语从句前面通常加逗号，从句部分即使被省略也不会照成主句意义上的不完整。非限定性定语从句中的关系代词不能省略。此句中还包含有一个宾语从句that there is no success without effort, 作have taught的宾语。

no/not … without …表示“没有…就不…”。 e.g. We can’t achieve anything without you.

5. I still can’t run fast enough, but I’ve learnt to try my best, not only with running but with whatever else I do. try one’s best 尽某人最大努力

其后常接带to的动词不定式，即try one’s best to do sth.，表示“尽力做某事”。 e.g. Try your best to do whatever you do. not only … but .... 不但……而且……

e.g. The girl is not only clever but hardworking. 6. I was disappointed.

disappointed adj. 失望的

e.g. I felt disappointed when he gave up studying.

7. Then, on the morning of my birthday, I woke up to find a beautiful violin at my bedside.

bedside表示“床边，床头”。

句中的to find a beautiful violin at my bedside是一个不定式结构，表示行为的结果。

e.g. He arrived at the station to find the train gone. Step 8 Writing
