III. Revising The SyntaxToday we shall go over a very important part of English grammar—The Syntax ：Members of the SentenceIn English, there are seven members of the sentence:i.the Subject: a member of sentence which describe 'who' or 'what', and is usually undertakenby nouns, pronouns or their equavilents. E.g.The Sun rises from the east.ii.the Predicate: it describes the action or situation of the subject, and usually undertaken by verbs or verb phrases, e.g.They study very hard.iii.the Predicative: it describes the quality, feature, state or identity, and form pound predicate with linking verbs. It is usually undertaken by nouns, pronouns and adjectives or theirequivalents, e.g.That river is very deep.iv.the Object: it shows the object or content of the action of a transitive verb, or is put after a preposition to form a prepositional phrase. It is usually undertaken by a noun or pronoun or their equivalents, e.g.We all like him.v.the plement: it is a supplement of the subject or the object, and is usually undertaken by an adjective or a noun or other proper structures, e.g.We consider this task very important.vi.the Attribute: it modifies or restricts nouns, and is usually undertaken by adjectives or their equivalent structures, e.g.This is a difficult problem.vii.the Adverbial: it modifies verbs, adjectives, adverbs or the whole sentence, and is usually undertaken by a adverb or its equivalent structures, e.g.He runs fast.IV.

Australia'sneighbouring countries are Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the northeast, and New Zealand to the southeast. The continent of Australia has been inhabited for over 40,000 years by Indigenous Australians. After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and by European explorers and merchants starting in the 17th century, the eastern half of the continent was claimed by the British in 1770 and officially settled as the penal colony of New South Wales on 26 January 1788. As the population grew and new areas were explored, another five largely self-governing Crown Colonies were successively established over the course of the 19th century.On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated and the monwealth of Australia was formed. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and remains a monwealth Realm. The current population of around 20.4 million is concentrated mainly in the large coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.■Warming up by looking and sayingLook at the photo? What is it?Yes, it is a Tammar Wallaby. The Tammar Wallaby is a small member of the kangaroo family and is the type species for research on kangaroos and marsupials.They are found on offshore islands on the South Australian and Western Australian coast. They are classified as vermin on Kangaroo Island, where they seasonally breed up to large numbers and damage the echidna habitat on the island.Tammar Wallabies are also found in New Zealand where they were transported from the South Australian mainland population which has since been driven to extinction by feral cats and foxes.Also known as the Darma Wallaby, the Tammar Wallaby's small size (approx 8kg, similar to a large cat) and ease of keeping in captivity makes it a popular zoo animal.■Warming up by listening to THE SONG OF AUSTRALIATHE SONG OF AUSTRALIAThere is a land where summer skiesAre gleaming with a thousand dyes,Blending in witching harmonies, in harmonies;And grassy knoll, and forest height,Are flushing in the rosy light,And all above in azure bright -Australia!There is a land where honey flows,Where laughing corn luxuriant grows,Land of the myrtle and the rose,On hill and plain the clust'ring vine,Is gushing out with purple wine,And cups are quaffed to thee and thine - Australia!There is a land where treasures shine Deep in the dark unfathomed mine, For worshippers at Mammon's shrine, Where gold lies hid, and rubies gleam, And fabled wealth no more doth seem The idle fancy of a dream -Australia!There is a land where homesteads peep From sunny plain and woodland steep, And love and joy bright vigils keep, Where the glad voice of childish gleeIs mingling with the melodyFor nature's hidden minstrelsy - Australia!There is a land where, floating free,From mountain top to girdling sea,A proud flag waves exultingly,And freedom's sons the banner bear,No shackled slave can breathe the air,Fairest of Britain's daughters fair -Australia!I.
