Happy couples often have something in common: they communicate effectively. Communication is the key to a successful relationship. It’s not just about talking, but also about listening and understanding each other.
One study found that couples who communicate well have a 70% chance of staying together for a lifetime.

五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
1、What are the main differences between a noun and a verb in English grammar?
答案：
1.Nouns are used to name people, places, things, and ideas, while verbs are used to express actions, occurrences, or states of being.
2.Nouns are typically not followed by objects in their base form, whereas verbs often require objects or complements to complete their meaning.
3.Nouns are usually not conjugated to indicate tense or aspect, while verbs are conjugated to show time, mood, voice, and aspect.
解析：
This question asks students to identify and explain the primary differences between nouns and verbs. Nouns are primarily used for naming, do not usually require objects, and do not change in form to indicate tense. Verbs, on the other hand, express actions or states, often require objects, and change in form to indicate different grammatical aspects.
3、What are some common greetings you can use when you meet someone in the
morning? Provide at least two examples.
•Answer: Good morning! / Hello, how are you this morning?
•Explanation: In English, it’s polite to greet someone with a warm and friendly greeting when you meet them, especially in the morning. “Good morning!” is a very common and direct way to say hello to someone early in the day. Another option is t o simply say “Hello,” which is more general, and then follow up with a question like “how are you this
morning?” to show interest in the other person’s well-being.
4、If you want to ask for permission to leave the classroom, what polite phrase would you use?
•Answer: May I be excused, please?
•Explanation: When asking for permission, it’s important to be polite and respectful. The phrase “May I be excused, please?” is a formal and courteous way to request to leave the classroom. It shows that you
understand the need for proper etiquette and respect for the teacher and the learning environment.
These short-answer questions are designed to assess students’ understanding of basic English expressions and their ability to use language appropriately in given social contexts.
5.What are the differences between the present simple tense and the present continuous tense in English grammar?
Answer: The present simple tense is used to describe habitual actions or general truths, while the present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are currently happening or are in progress at the moment of speaking.
Explanation: The present simple tense is formed by the base form of the verb followed by the subject. For example, “I eat breakfast every morning.” This tense is also used for permanent situations, such as “The sun rises in the east.” On the other hand, the present continuous tense is formed by the verb “to be” (am, is, are) followed by the present participle of the verb (the -ing form). For example, “I am reading a book.” This tense is used to describe temporary actions, ongoing activities, or current states. It is also used to express future arrangements, as in “I am meeting my friends at the cinema tonight.”
