Now get the students to read the dialogue in pairs and underline the difficulties and the key points that they think.
It’s not like her to have missed two days of classes.
一兩天不來上課，她不是這樣的人。
〖剖析〗It’s (just) like sb to do sth “某人（恰恰）就是這個樣子”，表示表揚或者不滿，其否定式則表示懷疑。如：
It‘s like him to leave the work to others. 他就是把工作推給別人的人。
It was like him to fail us at the last minute. 他就是這樣，在關鍵時刻讓我們失望。
It’s just like her to think of others before thinking of herself. 她恰恰就是先人后己的人。
It isn‘t like him to have said anything like that .他可不是說出那種話的人。
It isn’t like her to have spent so much money. 花掉這么多錢，我看這不像她做得出來的事。
◆ 下面兩句不一樣：It‘s not like her to have missed two days of classes.
一兩天不來上課，她不是這樣的人。（不上課的事已經發生）
It’s not like her to miss two days of classes.
她不是那種兩天不來上課的人。（并未發生過不上課的事，只是泛泛而談）
◆ to have missed 是非謂語動詞的完成式，表示動作早已完成。是高考測試中的重要知識點。又如：
① It isn‘t like him to have told a lie to the manager. 他不是給經理撒謊的那種人吧。
② I’m glad to have seen your headmaster yesterday .
③ He is said to have written a novel about the Long March. 據說他寫了一本關于長征的小說。

直接引語變間接引語的 10 個注意點
本單元的語法要求是復習間接引語（Indirect Speech）和直接引語( Direct Speech )。同學們要通過本單元系統掌握表示請求或者命令的直接引語（祈使句）變成間接引語的方法。掌握當直接引語是一個陳述句時，在變成間接引語時應把這個陳述句變成由連詞 that 引導的賓語從句，并根據意思改變人稱和時態以及時間或者地點狀語。下面是必須靈活駕馭的知識要點：
〖注意點 1 〗
直接引語到間接引語的時態有變化。如直接引語的現在完成時變成間接引語的過去完成時等。時態變化中應注意：
直接引語表述的是客觀真理時，間接引語中的時態不變。
Our teacher said, “The earth moves around the sun. ” →
Our teacher said that the earth moves around the sun.
直接引語是過去完成時，變間接引語時時態不變。
The boy said to his parents, “I had finished my homework before supper.”→
The boy told his parents that he had finished his homework before supper.
直接引語變成間接引語時，虛擬語氣不變。
“We wish we didn‘t have to take exams. ”said the children . →
The children said that they wished they didn’t have to take exams.
〖注意點 2 〗
指示代詞、人稱代詞、時間狀語、地點狀語及方向性動詞也有變化。如直接引語中的 now變為 間接引語的 then 等。
注意如果轉述發生在當地、當天的事，直接引語中的 come , here , today , this morning , yesterday , tomorrow 等不必改變。
He said, “I want this. ”→ He said that he wanted that.
He said, “I arrived yesterday morning.” → He said he had arrived the morning before.
He said, “I‘ll come here this evening.”→ He said he would come here this evening.
〖注意點 3 〗
直接引語是陳述句，間接引語為 that 引導的賓語從句。
She said to me, “I’m studying Japanese these days.”→
She told me (that) she was studying Japanese those days.
〖注意點 4 〗 直接引語是一般疑問句時，間接引語為whether / if 引導的賓語從句。
Mr. Howe asked, “Are you preparing for it?”→
Mr. Howe asked whether we were preparing for it.
如果是表示建議時可用 suggest / advise 來完成。
“Shall we meet at the theatre?” he said. → He suggested that we should meet at the theatre. = He suggested meeting at the theatre.
〖注意點 5 〗
直接引語是特殊疑問句時，間接引語為連接代詞（副詞）引導的賓語從句。
He asked, “Which one do you like best?”→ He asked which one you liked best.
〖注意點 6 〗
直接引語是反意疑問句時，間接引語為 whether / if 引導的賓語從句。
He asked, “You have succeeded, haven‘t you?”→ He asked us if we had succeeded.
也可以將疑問部分的主語作間接引語中的賓語。
“Shut the door, will you?”→ He told / asked me to shut the door.
〖注意點 7 〗
直接引語是祈使句時應把間接引語的句式改為 ask , tell , order 等+ 賓語 + 不定式。間接引語有時可以用 that 引導的賓語從句。以 let 開頭的祈使句變間接引語時要選用 suggest + ing ， suggest + that 從句，ask sb to do , advise sb to 。
The Party secretary said, “Let’s do our best to win still greater victory.”→ The Party secretary advised that we should do our best to win still greater victory.
〖注意點 8 〗
直接引語是感嘆句時可以用 what / how 引導。間接引語是祝愿時用 wish 。
“ How fast he runs! ”he said . → He said how fast he ran. = He said that he ran very fast.
He said,“Happy new year! ”→ He wished me a happy new year.
〖注意點 9 〗
直接引語中有多種句式時，間接引語按照各自的句式轉換。
“I can hardly hear the radio.”he said .“Could you turn it up?”→
He said he could hardly hear the radio and asked me to turn it up.
〖注意點 10 〗
如果直接引語中后一句說明前一句的原因時，可以用 as 來替代第二句的引導詞。
“You‘d better wear a coat. It’s very cold outside.”he said .→
He advised me to wear a coat as it was very cold outside.
