练习 1
"I've typed the date in capital letters..."
If " ABC " are capital letters, what do we call " abc "?
If " ABC " are capital letters, what do we call " abc "?
"I've typed the date in capital letters..."
If " ABC " are capital letters, what do we call " abc "?
If " ABC " are capital letters, what do we call " abc "?
"Lowercase" is the term used to describe letters which are not capitals, such as "z", "e", "a" and "l". Example: People in internet chat rooms often write only in lowercase letters. Note that "capital letters" are sometimes referred to as "uppercase letters".
Now that's not very likely, is it? This is a very cute name, but it's not what we call these letters. Sorry.
The term "minor" describes something which is "unimportant" or "insignificant". It does not describe the opposite of "capital letters".
"Small writing" simply describes the size of a text. It does not explain the difference between, say, "D" and "d", both of which can be written either small or large in size!

1 front page: "Front page" is the right answer. The "front page" of a newspaper is where the most important (or most shocking) stories appear, in order to attract readers' attention. Here's another example: "When Freddie ate my hamster, he appeared on the front page of all the tabloid papers".
2 bold: "Bold" is the term we were looking for. Bold text looks like this. It is used to highlight or draw attention to important information. Example: "If you want people to read this important information, you should put it in bold!".
3 capital: "Capital letters" look like this: A, J, S, A, G, D. In English, proper nouns such as "London", "Smith", and "French" all begin with capital letters. Note that we can also say "uppercase letters".
4 headlines: "Headlines" is the term we were looking for. The "headlines" are the titles of articles, which appear in bold text at the top of each story. Examples: "President Brush Resigns!", "1000s Die in Cyclone!".
