Full of life 充实／活力四射 的生活 Begin to do sth 开始做某事 Begin to fade 开始衰老 Fade v. 1 To become or to make sth become paler or less bright 使变淡、变暗、褪色 2 To disappear gradually 逐渐消失、消逝 3 衰落 、衰退 For example In the last weeks of her life she simply faded (衰落)away, and her smile（消逝） faded gradually. She glared the sky as if all colour had faded（褪色） from the shy. example We young are always full of life , but everyone in the future will begin to fade. The second sentence Her eyes were blue as blue could be, and they opened and closed. 她的眼睛很蓝很蓝，一眨一眨的。 The reason why I like this sentence is that it’s really useful when we talk about people’s appearance. We can use it in our daily life. Be + adj + as + adj can be Example He was very busy recently so that he was tied as tied could be. The third sentence Love , wherever it comes from, always looks the same. 爱心不管源何处，都始终是相同的。 I love this sentence because it’s really beautiful and meaningful , and it tell us that we should be kind and merciful. The fourth sentence Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志者，事竟成。 patterns Where there is …there is… Where there is hard work, there is a success. 02 YangKun
