1. Going to a British school for one year has been a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me.
此句中g(shù)oing to a British school for one year為動(dòng)名詞短語，做句子的主語。如：

有時(shí)可用形式主語it，而將動(dòng)名詞短語放在后面。如：
It’s no use arguing with him. 同他爭(zhēng)論是沒用的。
2. He also told us that the best way to earn respect from the school was to work hard and achieve high grades.

There is nothing to worry about.沒什么可擔(dān)心的。
I have something to tell you. 我有事要告訴你。

We went out, though it was raining.雖然下著雨，我們?nèi)匀怀鋈チ恕?/p>
Though they are poor, they buy a great many books.盡管他們窮，他們還是買許多書。
though從句的動(dòng)詞如果與主句為同一動(dòng)詞，則有時(shí)可省略主語與動(dòng)詞。如：
He was happy, though poor.他雖然窮，卻很快樂。
though有時(shí)可用作副詞，意為“可是，但是”，通常置于句尾或插入句中。如：
It was hard work; I enjoyed it，though.那工作很辛苦，但是我卻喜歡。
There’s no excuse, though, for hurting her feelings.傷到她的感情一事，還是不可原諒。
