等。例如“ There’s tea in the room” 。房间里备有茶叶。在描
述复数的物体时，我们一定要使用there are， 而且这个表述方法
没有缩略语形式，这一点请您特别注意。例如:there are two
guests in the lobby 酒店大厅有两位客人。There are teamaking
facilities in every room。每个房间都有煮茶的设施。请
注意听下面的对话并跟着重复。
There’s a kettle in the room.
There’s a guest in the lobby.
There are two guests in the lobby.
There are tea-making facilities in every room.
我们再练习一次。首先您会听到汉语，然后是这句话的英语。铃声
之后会有一段间隔以便您复述这个句子。请注意，您必须自己确定
在这个句子前面应该使用there is 还是there are. 然后请再对照
录音看看您的答案是否正确并跟着录音再次重复一遍这个句子。请
不要忘记确定在例句前面使用“there’s”, 而不用“there is”。
每个房间都有茶杯。
Cups in every room
There are cups in every room.
每个房间都有咖啡。
Coffee in every room
There’s coffee in every room
美丽的风景。
