Study skills
A suffix is a letter or a group of letters that we add to the end of a word to form a new word.
We can add -ly to some adjectives to form adverbs.
We can also add -ly to some nouns to form adjectives.
-ly是一个后缀，如果加在名词的后面，这个词就变成了形容词；如果加在形容词的后面，这个词就变成了副词。
adjectives → adverbs
形容词变副词通常是加ly，其变化有规律可循，请记住以下口诀：
一般直接加，“元e”去e加，“辅y”改i加，“le”结尾e改y。
  quick-quickly, sad-sadly
  true-truly
  happy-happily, noisy-noisily
  possible-possibly, simple-simply
nouns → adjectives
For example:
love     lovely
father   fatherly
love     lovely
order    orderly
man      manly
year     yearly
coward   cowardly
beast    beastly
ghost    ghostly
sight    sightly
Add -ly to each of the words in the box on the left. Then put them in different groups. You may use a dictionary.
   careful    day
   easy       love
   month      quick
   slow       usual
   week       year

Main task
Read Daniel's article about his ideal school.
                        My ideal school
My ideal school starts at 9 a.m. and finishes at 3 p.m. We do not need to get up early, and we have lots of time for after-school activities. We only have an hour of homework every day.
We have an hour for lunch. There is a big, clean dining hall. We have lunch and chat there. We listen to music at lunchtime. We wear school uniforms, but we do not wear ties.
Our classes are quite small. There are about 20 students in each class. We can choose subjects to study. I have Maths because I think Maths is very interesting. I love computers, so I have computer lessons every day.
There is a big library, a football field and a swimming pool. We have lots of clubs and after-school activities. Every month, we go on a school trip. We always have fun.
