1.I like drinks, such as / like tea and soda.
2.There are several people interested, like Mr Jones and Mr Simpson.
3.The old man has been to many European countries, such as France,England and Germany.
第2题还可以用such as 吗？
第3题还可以用like 吗？
答：
1.I like drinks, such as / like tea and soda.
多数情况下，表示举例时，两者区别不大。再如：
Try to avoid fatty foods such as/ like cakes and biscuits.
2.There are several people interested, like Mr Jones and Mr Simpson.
由于like本意是“象...一样”，因此更加强调情景的相似性，重在例证。本句信息重心在于“ Mr Jones and Mr Simpson”对某一问题感兴趣。有可能，下文专门介绍Mr Jones and Mr Simpson对某一问题的研究情况。再如：
Things like glass, paper, and plastic can all be recycled.（强调情景的相似性，而非列举事物）
It also moved those who, like me, are too young to have lived through the war.
请看英文对like的用法描述：
You can use like to introduce an example of the set of things or people that you have just mentioned.
从红字部分可以看出like的例证功能。
3.The old man has been to many European countries, such as France,England and Germany.
such as重在列举。本句无意强调 France,England and Germany是欧洲国家。有可能，下文讲这个老人如何如何了解欧洲。
请看英文对such as的用法描述：
You can use such as to introduce a reference to the person or thing that has just been mentioned.
应该说，上述分析过于细化，或者说，过于咬文嚼字。粗略说来，二者多数情况下可以互换。
需要注意的是，such as还有其他用法：
Such as remains after tax will be yours when I die.（我死以后全部财产除了交税以外都给你）
Such poets as Keats and Shelley wrote Romantic poetry.
Children do not use inflections such as are used in mature adult speech
'There are lots of useful things you could do.' 'Such as?'(=used to ask someone to give an example )
When I get tired, such as when I'm working on my computer, I turn to biscuits
