What +be +主语+like? 用来询问某人的外

►---What’s your brother like?=What does your brother look like? 你哥哥张什么样？
辨析：be like 和look like
be like: “像…一样”，常指品德、相貌等相像，
更侧重人的个性特征。
look like: “看起来像…”常指外貌上相像
► The twin sister are like their father.
► He looks like his mother.

I used to go to the cinema, but I never

One possible version:
Zhuanghua's life has changed a lot in the last
few years. In the past, he used to have much
time to play after school. He spent a lot of time
playing games with his friends. When he
finished his homework, he often watched TV
or chatted with his grandma. On Saturday, he
often went to concerts with his father.
But now his school life has changed a lot. He
is very busy every day. He has to get up
early and stays in school all day. Because he
has to study hard. He hasn’t any more time
to play games with his friends. He has to do
his homework and goes to bed late every
night. He hardly has any time for concerts.
He misses the old days very much.
