Step Two: Grammar – The attributive Clause(2)
1. 關系副詞的定義與用法
①關系副詞在定語從句中代替先行詞
②關系副詞在從句中擔任成分--狀語，在從句中起副詞和介詞短語的作用
③關系副詞起連接作用，把兩個句子連接成為一個帶有定語從句的主從復合句
關系副詞有三種：
①where：在從句中作地點狀語，指代地點
②when：在從句中作時間狀語，指代時間
③why：在從句中作原因狀語，指代原因
1） where 的用法
+ =
2） when 的用法
+ =
3） why 的用法
The reason why I’m calling you is to invite you to a party.
2. 關系副詞和關系代詞在定語從句中的區別。
例：①This is the house where I worked 2 years ago.
②This is the house that/which/省略 I visited.
在例①用where （關系副詞）,因為它在從句中作狀語，表示there或in the house.
在例②用that/which/省略（關系代詞）,因為它在從句中作visited的賓語（visit是個及物動詞）
例：③I’ll never forget the day when I joined the army.
④I’ll never forget the day that/which/省略we spent together.
在例③中when在從句中作狀語，等于 I joined the army on the day.
when表示on the day這個介詞短語。
在例④中that/which在從句中作spent的賓語（spend是個及物動詞）

假定《哈里波特》的續集《哈里波特與消失的密室(secret cellar)》即將上映。現由你寫此續集的簡介，并鼓勵大家去看。
續集內容如下：
馬上就要開學。但就在返校前一天夜里，哈里房間里出現了一個叫多比(Dorby)的小精靈（spirit）。多比說有一件可怕的事即將發生，會危及哈里的生命，因此極力阻止哈里返校。但第二天好友羅恩（Ron）駕駛會飛的汽車把哈里接回霍格沃茨學院(Horgwardz College)。他們到校的前后幾日，學校接連發生學生被變為石像（statue）的可怕事件。在現場的墻上都有“密市已被打開”的字跡。哈里和羅恩千方百計找到密室，最終消滅了作惡多端的魔鬼（monster）。
Harry Potter and the Disappeared Secret Cellar
Harry Potter and the Disappeared Secret Cellar is a follow-up to Harry Potter and the Magic Stone, which starts with the beginning of a new term when all the students should return to school. Just on the very night after which Harry is going back to Horgwardz College, a little spirit called Dorby appears in his bedroom, flying around in the air. Dorby makes every effort to prevent Harry from returning to school, warning him that an extremely terrible disaster will happen to him, which will put his life in danger. But just on the next day, Ron, Harry’s best friend drives his magic car which can fly to Harry’s home and picks Harry up to the Horgwardz College. During the few days around their arrival at the college, a series of terrible incidents take place at the college, in which several students have been turned into stone statues. What’s worse, on the wall at the spots of the incidents is always left the same sentence which says “The secret cellar has been opened.” Harry and Ron do their best to find the secret cellar at last. After many fierce fighting, Harry and Ron defeat the monster who has done all kinds of evils and get rid of him in the end.
The end of the follow-up is very exciting and catchy. As it will be on in many cinemas next week, you will surely be sorry if you miss seeing it next week. Don’t miss the chance!
