Students: Yes. I'm afraid of lions. They have big teeth and they can eat you./No, I'm not scared of the animals at the zoo because they are in cages.

Teacher: Good. The word “danger”(危險)is a noun and it means "something not safe". It is often used for signs to warn people of something unsafe. The word "dangerous" is an adjective. It describes something or someone that is threatening. Sometimes we have signs that warn us; other times there are rules we must follow to stay out of danger. What is a rule Can you givê me an example of a classroom rule

LANGUAGE NOTES
1. The zoo is open. 動物園開放啦。
本句中open是形容詞，意思是“（顧客或觀眾等）可以進入的”。例如：
This garden is open to the public. 這座花園向公眾 開放。
open 可以表示“開著的，營業的，辦公的，敞開的，開闊的”等意思。例如：
He slept in the room with the window open last night.他昨晚睡在窗戶開著的那個房間。
The shop isn't open on Sundays. 這個商店星期日 不營業。
His coat was open.他的大衣敞開著。
The cages are big and open. 籠子又大又寬敞。
2. They go through the entrance and see a sign.他們 穿過入口，看到一個牌子。
through介詞，意思是“穿過”。across和 through 兩者都有“穿過”的意思。across是指“從 表面通過”，其含義與on有關；through指“從里面（中心）穿過”，其含義與in有關，尤其指森林、人群等。例如：
I walked across the square to the museum. 我走過 廣場到達博物館。
We walked through the forest.我們穿過森林。 3. Maybe cameras scare the animals.也許照相會嚇著動物。

nearly副詞，意思是“幾乎，差不多”。例如：Hurry up-it's nearly time for school.趕快，差不 多到上學時間了。
nearly 和 almost 都表示“幾乎，差不多”，在多 數情況下，兩者之間沒有什么差別。一般來說almost 所表達的程度比nearly 更接近一些。另外，nearly 不能用于修飾否定詞，但可被not修飾。試比較：
We are nearly there.我們快要到了。 We are almost there.我們就要到了。
It's not nearly as hot as last year.天氣絕沒有去年 那么熱。
5. We don't have any bamboo here in Edmonton.在 埃德蒙頓這里沒有竹子。
any在句中意為“一些”，用于一般疑問句和否定句。肯定句中用some表示“一些”。some和any都可以修飾可數名詞和不可數名詞。例如：I have some work to do today.今天我有些事情要 做。
