Helen: How did you find out?
Alice: Never mind about that. Why have you been keeping it a secret for so long?

Helen: OK then.

本單元的語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)是關(guān)于 Such 和 so 的用法，下面是關(guān)于這兩個(gè)詞用法的語(yǔ)法和例句
Such and So
Such and so can be used for emphasis. For example, 'You're such a goose!' means 'You're very much like a goose!' or 'It's so quiet' means 'It's very quiet'.
such + adjective + noun

so + adjective/adverb
She's so clever.
They're so rich.

You can join two clauses together with such...that and emphasise the noun. Or you can use so...that and emphasise the adverb/adjective. You can also leave out 'that', if you want.
so + adjective/adverb

She's such an all-round athlete (that) I'm not surprised she won the gold.
He's so mean (that) he didn't even buy her a birthday present.
