核心知识点
Look! What beautiful yards!（注意：尾音下坠）
what+(a/an）+adj.+n.
(备注：平常look一般没什么含义，但是这里呢是为了真得让他们看）
例如你吃到了一个非常好吃的蛋糕：
What a delicious cake!
这蛋糕真好吃。
I don't think the last one has a playground like this. I prefer this one.
上一个学校可没有这样的操场。我更喜欢这个。
例如快到假期了，你和朋友出去玩，朋友事先做了泰国和日本的旅游攻略让你选：
prefer sth.更喜欢...
I prefer Thailand.
我更喜欢泰国。
Come on. Jeff's education comes first. Not to play around.
