1. He is very clever at Maths. 他擅长数学。（P4）
（1）clever是形容词，意为“聪明的，伶俐的”，同义词为bright，反义词为stupid。
（2）be clever at…意为“擅长于……”，相当于be good at。例如：
2. He's in the school basketball team.他是学校篮球队的队员。（P4）
I'm in the Reading Club.我在阅读兴趣小组。（P4）
句中的“be in + 团队组织”意为“be a member of …”。因此
He's in the school basketball team.= He's a member of the school basketball team.
3. You can call me Simon. （P4）
call意为“叫、称呼”，call sb. /sth. + 名称，意为“叫某人（某物）为……”。例如：
You can call him Tom. 你可以叫他汤姆。
What do you call it in English? 你们用英语怎么称呼它？
call还有“打电话”、“叫、喊”之意。例如：
Who is calling? This is Helen speaking. 谁在打电话？是我，海伦。
Someone is calling you. 有人在叫你。
call也可作为名词，意为“电话”。如：a telephone call 一通电话。
4. My parents come from Shanghai.我父母是上海人。（P4）
come from意为“来自……（地方），是……（地方）人”。
come from=be from
My parents come from Shanghai.=My parents are from Shanghai.
5. I was born there but we live in Beijing now.我出生在那儿但我们现住在北京。（P4）
be born意为“出生”。例如：
Simon was born in Shanghai. 西蒙出生在上海。（P5）
I was born in May.我出生于五月。
6. I play football at school. 我在学校踢足球。（P4）
at school可以表示“在学校”，也可以表示“上学”的概念。school表示抽象概念，而不是指具体场所时，school前不加冠词，也不用复数形式。例如：
Daniel, do you play tennis after school? 丹尼尔，你放学后打网球吗？（P9）
