1.I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people.

“Animal Helpers” 动物助手 , 一个帮助残疾人而建立的组织 .

Thank sb for… 为……而感谢某人 . e.g. Thank you for your flowers to me. Set up… 引导的是一个省去关系代词 that 的定语

从句 .. e.g. Thomas has a lab set up himself.

Language points

2. Being blind, deaf, unable to walk ,or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot imagine.

此句中 “ Being…” 是动名词做主语 . 谓语动词用单数 .

“….that most people cannot imagine” 是定语从句 , 修饰 something.

3.Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out.

Help sb. out 意为 “使某人脱离困境”可分开使用 .

e.g. Nobody helped me

out when I lost my job.

4.You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!

此句中的 be able to 意为 “能够做……的事” ,可用 can 替换 , 主语为物时一般都使用 can, can没有将来时和完成时 , 也不能用于其他助动词后面 , 所以常用 be able to do 来替换 .

Because of 是介词短语 , 表原因 , 后面接名词或代词宾语 .because 是连词 , 词后常接从句 .

5.fill …with…, “ 用……把……填满”

e.g Fill (in) the blanks with the right prepositions.

I have filled the glass with tea. Please help yourself.

▲ be full of = be filled with

.6 carry, take , fetch, bring

take =carry to another place or go with it “ 带走带领”（带着离去）

bring=come carrying sth. or with sb. “ 拿来，带来”
