一、语法核心：比较结构与非谓语转换
比较级的规则应用：
- 单音节词直接加-er/-est：sweeter, loudest, softer

形容词与感官动词的固定搭配：
- taste + adj.: tastes sweet/salty/spicy
- smell + adj.: smells fragrant/smelly/fresh
- feel + adj.: feels soft/hard/smooth
- sound + adj.: sounds loud/quiet/clear
- look + adj.: looks bright/dark/clean
-ing与-ed形式的区分：
- 令人...的：The news is exciting.（令人兴奋的）
- 感到...的：I feel excited.（感到兴奋的）
- 特殊记忆：tiring/tired, boring/bored

【高考范文】Grandma's Kitchen
Stepping into Grandma's kitchen was like entering a different world. The air was always warm and carried a fragrant mix of baking bread and fresh herbs. In summer, the room could get quite hot, but an open window usually let in a cool breeze.
Everything here felt soft and welcoming. The light wooden table, polished smooth by years of use, stood on a clean, bright yellow rug. The curtains were a light blue, making the room look bright even on dark afternoons.
Grandma’s cooking was legendary. Her cookies were perfectly sweet, with just a hint of salty butter. Her special soup was never bland—it had a spicy kick that made your lips tingle pleasantly. She even knew how to balance bitter greens with sweet dressings. Everything she made was delicious and tasty, even the simplest dishes.
The kitchen was always tidy. Neat rows of jars lined the shelves, their contents clear and colorful. The countertops were clean enough to eat from. This order made her cooking process look easy, though I knew it required hard work.
Sounds here were comfortingly domestic. The quiet hum of the refrigerator, the soft clicking of the clock, the occasional loud sizzle from the pan—these formed the kitchen’s symphony. Grandma’s voice was never loud, always clear and soft.
I remember one winter afternoon. Outside was cold and dark, but inside was warm and bright. The heavy smell of stew filled the air. My hands were cold from playing outside, but the mug she gave me felt wonderfully hot. The chocolate wasn’t bitter but sweet and rich.
That kitchen taught me more than recipes. It taught me that a fresh ingredient speaks for itself, that clean surroundings bring peace, and that sometimes, the most delicious thing isn’t the food itself, but the warm atmosphere in which it’s shared. Even now, the memory remains clear, a bright spot of sensory joy in my mind—never blurry, never stale, but always fresh and fragrant as Grandma’s kitchen on a baking day.
