这篇课文用词简单，却把向日葵讲得又清楚又可爱。它的小秘密是这几招：
ripe 成熟的、big 大的、beautiful 美丽的——形容词像小画笔，一下就把向日葵的样子画出来了。
把一样东西比作你熟悉的事物（looks like + 名词），画面一下子就活了。向日葵像太阳、像微笑——多温暖！
can + 动词原形 = 能做什么。can 后面永远用动词原形，不用加 s！
It / She / He 后用 has；They / We 后用 have。用 has + 部位，就能描述一样东西的样子。
表示「两个或更多」时，名词直接加 -s：stem → stems、petal → petals、seed → seeds。复数一出现，画面里就有好多好多向日葵啦。
把向日葵比作太阳和微笑，一句比喻，画面和温暖都有了——抄进你的「好句本」吧。
