Unit8 Adventure -Communication Workshop & Cultural Corner 学案一、重难点词汇讲解：observe vt. 观察，观测 to watch attentively; to notice or to see If you observe a child’s behavior, you will find it much more natural than an adult’s. observe 表示“观察”时为感官动词，后接不定式作宾语补足语时，to 要省去，但在被动句中要带 to 。I observed them enter the bank. They were observed to enter the bank.二、重难点句式讲解和分析：1.
