8.Strategy training
Where is the mistake?
Sentence 1
Wrong sentence:The firemen arrived in the scene of the fire and rescued them.
Mistake:arrived in
Why:arrive in 后面一般加较大的地方，如国家，身份，城市等。arrive at后面一般加较小的地方，如车站、机场、村庄、学校等。若后面没有地点或跟方位副词则不需要加介词。
Correct sentence:The firemen arrived at the scence of the fire and rescued them.

Sentence 2
Wrong sentence:Most girl's parents don't allow them stay out late.
Mistake:allow them stay
Why:allow 与let意思相近，但在使用上有区别：let sb.do sth.;allow sb.to do sth.
Correct sentence:Most girl's parents don't allow them to stay out late.

Sentence 3
Wrong sentence:Ross hates Maths,and he always falls sleepy in Maths in classes
Mistake:falls sleepy
Why:sleepy是形容词，意为“困倦的；瞌睡的”。可以说feel sleepy意为“感到有睡意的，但没有睡着”。asleep是形容词，只能作表语，意为“睡着的”。fall asleep是动词词组，意为“睡着了”。
Correct sentence:Rose hates Maths,and he always falls asleep in Maths classes.
