单词回顾 | 他们都是如何用“favor”和“chemistry”造句的？
5月28日的单词是“favor”，有“prefer”的意思，它的名词形式“preference”和形容词形式“preferable”也很常用，可以用在想要突出比较和强调的句子中。
下面是几个句子点评：
1. Chances favor the prepared minds.
点评：很好的句子。这句话通常被认为是法国生物学家 Louis Pasteur 最先说的，一般用单数：
Chance favors the prepared mind.
2. We are supposed to favor behaviors which can contribute to society.
点评：这句话中“favor”虽然用的比较恰当，但句子本身比较空洞。建议可以写得更具体一点。
3. According to Charles Darwin's opinion, natural selection favors the species which can adapt to the environment.
点评：想法很好。开头部分一般说“according to Charles Darwin”或“in Charles Darwin's opinion”。
4. When it comes to holiday-making, some favour a relaxing beach holiday, while others prefer a hectic sight-seeing tour.
点评：这句中用了“favor”和“prefer”，可见前者可以替换后者，以达到词汇多样性的效果。由于句子一开始用了“holiday-making”，后面的“beach holiday”还可以写作“beach vacation/break”。
5月29日的单词是“chemistry”，事实上在课堂之外这个词更常用的意思是“默契”，可以用来指异性也可以指同性，可以是浪漫的关系，也可以是兄弟情、战友情、队友情等。
下面是5个句子点评：
1. Macron and his French teacher's love story tell us there must be special chemistry between them.
点评：这里一般不说“tell us”，而会用“suggest/indicate/imply/reflect”等表达。这句可以这么改：
(The newly elected French president-elect) Macron and his French teacher's love story suggests/indicates that there must be special chemistry between them.
2. The chemistry between Suarez and Messi greatly contributed to the success of Barca in 2015.
点评：很好的句子，和自己熟悉的球队和赛季结合了起来。Way to go!
3. The chemistry between the writer and readers in this WeChat Public Platform means a lot.
点评：在某某平台一般用介词“on”。语境选择的很好，甚至可以多写一点：
The chemistry between the writer and readers on this WeChat Public Platform means a lot; it could even shape its style.
4. The two are not a good match, the chemistry between them isn't right.
点评：逗号应该改为分号。
5. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie felt the chemistry when they were cooperated and filmed a movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
