Salesclerk：Can I help you?

May: Yes, I have a complaint to make.

Salesclerk: What's the problem?

May: I bought this skirt in your store last week. What a famous brand is that! The stitches are coming off. Anyway, I'd like to ask for a refund for this skirt.

Salesclerk: I'm sorry. They are not refundable. But we can exchange it for you, OK?

May: OK.

Salesclerk: Wait for a moment. I think we have another one…Here you go.

May: But this one is blue. Mine is red.

Salesclerk: Sorry, lady. This is the only one we've got now. How about we fix it up for you?

May: That's certainly good. When will it be ready?

Salesclerk: It will be ready tomorrow.

May: That's quick.

Salesclerk: Come along then and bring this receipt with you. And I am afraid we've gonna have to charge you 20 for that.

May: What!

感叹句

感叹句一般是用来表示说话时的喜悦、惊讶等情感。英语感叹句常用“what”和“how”引导，句子其它部分用陈述句语序。

1.“what”引导的感叹句what +(a/ an)+ adj. +n. +主语+谓语+（it is）.

“what”意为”多么“,用来修饰名词（被强调部分），单数可数名词前要加a/an，例如：

What a clever girl May is！多么聪明的阿美呀！

What a funny story it is! 多么有趣的故事呀！

What good children they are!他们是多么好的孩子呀！

2.“how”引导的感叹句How+adj.(adv.)+主语+谓语+( it is ).

“how”意为“多么”，修饰形容词或副词（被强调部分）。如果修饰形容词，则句中的谓语动词用系动词；如果修饰副词，则句中的谓语动词用行为动词，例如：

How cold it is today! 今天多冷呀！

How well May writes! 阿美写得多好呀

How hard they are working now! 他们现在干得多么起劲呀！

3.在表示同一意义时，既可用“what”引导，也可用“how”引导

What a hot day it is! How hot a day is! 多么热的天气呀！

What a beautiful sunshine it is! How beautiful the sunshine is!多么明亮的阳光呀！

4.感叹句在表示激动强烈的感情时，口语中常常省略后面的主语和谓语

What red apples! 多么红的苹果呀！

How cool！好凉快呀！

How wonderful! 精彩极了！
