⑸ make cards 做卡片
make 在英语中适用范围非常广泛,经常和名词搭配构成一些固定的短语。

make a mistake 犯错误
make an apology 道歉
make ends meet 收支平衡
make fun of 取笑
make up for 弥补

⑹ yummy 美味的
yummy是形容词,经常用于口语,其近义词是delicious,课文中出现的是the yummiest表示最美味的,是yummy的最高级形式,形容词最高级在今后的学习中会重点讲解。
⑺ take place发生
其近义词有take place、happen、occur、break out,但这四个词的用法是有区别的。
take place、happen和occur在很多情况下都可以互换,但是take place强调非偶然的发生,在表达举办某种活动、庆祝节日的时候不能用另外三个,文中说冰淇淋节每年在美国7月的第三个星期日举行,显然这不是偶然的活动,所以这里只能用take place;
e.g. The World Expo took place in Shanghai. 上海举办了世博会。
happen 后可以加to do,表示碰巧发生了…;
e.g. We happened to see him on the campus.
He happened to know that doctor.
happen和occur后面还可以加to sb.,happen to sb. 表示某种不好的事发生在某人身上,occur to sb.表示某人突然想到了什么,后面常加从句。
e.g. It did happen to all of us.
It occurs to me that we may turn to him.
break out用于指灾难、战争等不好事件的爆发。
e.g. The First World War broke out in 1914.
⑻ along with… 与…一起
come/go along with… 与…一起来/去
get along with… 与…相处
e.g. All we need is some creativity along with plenty of time and practice .
我们需要的是一些创造力,大量的时间和练习。
(注意:谓语动词和最前面的主语保持一致)
The ability to communicate well can help us get along with others.
好的沟通能力有助于我们和他人相处。
⑼ be proud of 以…自豪
相当于take pride in …,pride是proud的名词形式。
e.g. The teacher is proud of her students.
We take pride in the great achievements of our socialist construction. 我们为社会主义建设的伟大成就而自豪。
⑽ be/become known as… 以…著称,称作…
be known for…因…而闻名
