step 6: read and complete the sentences
t: good! after doing the exercise, i think you have had a deep understanding about the conversation. next, complete the sentences in activity 7. pay attention to “although, because, so” .
the sample answers:
1. lingling had a good holiday although the trip back was very long, the train was full of people and she had to stand for over six hours.

t: from the conversation, we can find the answers to the exercises. by doing these exercises, you should know the usage of “although, because and so.”
t: after “although” is a sentence. in chinese, the sentence with the although structure means “尽管……但是……, but you must remember that if you use “although”, you can’t use “but” or if you use “but”, you can’t use “although”. are you clear?
ss: yes.
t: good! in chinese, the sentences with the because or so structure means “因为……所以…….the usage of “because and so” is the same as “although and but”, that is to say, if you use “because”, you can’t use “so” or if you use “so”, you can’t use “because”.
ss: we see. we must be careful when we write such sentences.
