[Steven精品五句之沪江编辑部的故事] (Tina and Linda want to make some money by selling some cosmetic products, because one of Linda’s girl friends can get those products at a very low price. They asked Steven to put some money in last night. Early this morning, Steven is stepping into the office.) （天娜和琳达希望通过销售一些化妆用品来赚点钱，因为琳达的一个女友可以用一个很低的价格获得那些产品。昨晚她们请求史蒂文也为这个生意投资点钱。这天早晨，史蒂文走进了办公室。）

虽说Be worth doing..看起来用法简单，但事实上很多人不能百分百地将其正确使用。接下来请大家看看，几组句子，找找规律:
1) I read the book. /The Book is worth reading. 我读那本书。/那本书值得读。 2) I watch the movie. /The movie is worth watching. 我看那部电影。/那部电影值得看。 3) I go to the park. /the park is worth going to. 我去那个公园。/那个公园值得去。现在请接Steven的下句，“I repeat the saying.”对了！“The saying is worth repeating.” 请再看几个句子： 4）It is worth a try. 那值得一试。 5) The meal cooked by Mary is worth a taste. Mary做的饭值得尝一尝。 6) The pictures on this website are worth a look. 那个网站上的图片值得看一看。找到规律了吗？好好想想吧！现在请和Steven进入今天的“五句操练”！！

I’d Like to… /我愿意...
[很多人总喜欢抱怨别人在同自己说话的时候没有分寸、没有修养，但是否曾注意到自己说话也同样不十分客气呢？其实，对他人长久地保持良好的态度很难，尤其是在我们不太耐烦的时候.这时，我们需要笑一下，放轻松，告诫自己要宽容，和对方说话的时候多用“Would like to”.这样长此以往，你一定会成为一个讨人喜欢的人.下面就和Steven一起做个讨人喜欢的人吧！]
