Language points教案
1.I was a bit nervous.
a little late
a bit 和a little作程度副词修饰形容词、副词、动词或比较级时，意义相同，为“一点儿, 有些”。
He walked a bit / a little slowly. 他走路有点慢。
二者都可以作名词词组, 做主语或宾语。如：
A little / bit is enough for me.我有一点儿就够了。
举例英文
小桥流水人家这首诗I know only a little / a bit about her. 我对她的情况只了解一点。
a little可直接修饰名词；而a bit后须加of才可以。如：
There is a little water in the bottle.= There is a bit of water in the bottle.
否定形式 not a little 作状语，相当于very / quite, “很，非常”；作定语和宾语时，相当于much, 意为“许多”。而not a bit 作状语时，相当于not at all, 意为“一点也不”，作宾语时则相当于not much。如：
He is not a little (= very) hungry. 他饿极了。
He is not a bit (= not at all) hungry. 他一点也不饿。

except侧重于排除在外，从整体里减去：

unless用来引出某事发生或成立所必需的条件：

besides着重于指另外还有：

get ud to = be ud to，意思为“习惯于某事或做某事的意思”，to为介词，后接名词或动名词，不能跟动词原形。
手机壁纸干净简约
We are ud to the weather in the south of China.我们习惯了中国南方的天气。They have got ud to getting up early in the morning.他们已习惯早起。
在学习be ud to结构时，一定要注意它与以下几个结构的区别:
ud to do sth.意为“过去常常”，在这里to是动词不定式符号；
be ud to do sth.和be ud for doing sth.意为“被用来做某事”, 是被动结构。
