Step 2. Language points
1. He is wearing a purple shirt and a pair of grey trousers.
Both of them are wearing blue jeans.
trousers, jeans本身就是复数，其数量的表达要用 a pair of 这样的短语，
这样的短语作主语时要由pair 的单复数形式来决定谓语动词形式。
e.g. The jeans are popular among young people.
There is a pair of jeans in the bag.
The two pairs of trousers are different.
2. They look cool!
look cool 看上去很酷
当look译为“看起来，看上去” 的意思时是连系动词，这种动词后面可以接形容词作表语，但不能接副词，e.g.
You look happy today. （正）（happy是形容词）
You look happily today. （错）（happily 是副词，不能作表语）
本课短文中的look cool, look smart ，look modern中look都是连系动词。
3. Both of them are wearing blue jeans.
both 两者（都）
(1) 这个词只能用于两者或两部分时，三者及以上的“全，都”要用all。e.g.
His parents are both teachers.
There are 40 students in our class. We are all Chinese.
(2) “both of + 名词复数/ 宾格代词”作主语时谓语动词要用复数形式。
Both of them work in Beijing.
(3) both … and … …和… 都；不仅…而且…
She can both sing and dance.
4. Here comes Simon.
这是一个以here开头的倒装句。通常给某人东西或指出某物时会这么说。
e.g. Here you are. 给你。
Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。
5. Trainers are light and comfortable and are popular among young people.
among表示“在(三者以上)之间”, between表示“在(两者)之间”。
e.g. Among them, he is the best.
他是他们中间最优秀的。
Don’t eat between meals.
两餐之间不要吃东西。
6. What a great show, Sandy!
这是what+名词表示的感叹句，也可以用how表示，即How great the show
is!
7. Sandy’s red blouse is made of silk.
be made of 由……制成
通常表示该制成品仍看得出原材料。
be made from 由……制成
表示该制成品看不出原材料。
e.g. This bottle is made of glass.
这个瓶子是由玻璃制成的。
