Used an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read it.

Therefore, we should makegood use of iPads and other modern munication tools to help with our lessons. Meanwhile, schools should make some rules instruct the students to use iPads properly.難項(xiàng)分析：第二處：UsedUsing考查非謂語動詞。邏輯主語we和use之間是主謂關(guān)系，且use所表示的動作和句子謂語動詞download和read所表示的動作同時發(fā)生，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。第六處：makemakes考查主謂一致。which指代的是前面整句話的內(nèi)容，所以定語從句的謂語動詞應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)形式makes。第十處：rules后加to考查非謂語動詞。此處用不定式短語充當(dāng)目的狀語。*
