I Will Take You Home

There was a beautiful teddy bear who sat on a shelf in a shop. He was waiting for some children to buy him and give him a home. His name was Wolstencroft. 　　 He was the only bear in the shop. All his friends had new homes. He was very sad. He wanted to know why no one bought him. 　　“ I know why. It’s because of your name. It is very difficult to pronounce,” his friend Rita told him. “You can change your name.” “This is my name and I love it,” he said.

One day, a little boy and his daddy came into the shop. “Look! This teddy bear has the same name as you!” the boy’s daddy said. “I love him, Daddy. I want to buy him,” the little boy said. 　　 Wolstencroft was going to a new home at last. And he knew that this little boy would love him and be his best friend. 　　 Wolstencroft is not a bad name, is it?

课外点拨because 和 because of 的用法 because 和 because of 都表示“因为”的意思，但用法不同。 because 是连词，后面接句子；而 because of 是介词短语，后面跟名词、代词或者动名词 ( 即动词 +ing) 等。　　 例如：　　 1. 他没有来是因为生病了。 He didn’t come because he was ill. He didn’t come because of his illness.　　 2. 他没有出门是因为下雨了。　　 He didn’t go out because it was raining.　　 He didn’t go out because of the rain.　　 3. 他迟到了是因为糟糕的交通。 He was late because the traffic was terrible. He was late because of the terrible traffic.
