Explanation 1. It’s fun to learn another language. 句中 it 是形式主语, 真正的主语是后面的 不定式 to learn another language 。英语中动词 和动词短语都可以做主语, 这时常用动名词 形式或 it 做主语, 将真正的主语以动词不定式 的形式放在后面, 以避免主语太长而弄不清 句意。如：

Eating fruit and vegetables every day can keep us fit. It can keep you thin and healthy to take more exercise.

2. …all I ever wanted to do was travel. I ever wanted to do 是定语从句。 我曾经想做的一切是旅行。 3. …that the best way to do this was to become a flight attendant. that the best way to do this 是主语从句。 做这个的最好方法是成为一个机组乘务员。

4. It was because I could speak English that I got the job. 这是个强调句型。 正是因为我能讲英语, 我得到了这个工作。 It is / was ＋被强调的部分＋ that / who ＋其他部分 如 : I met Mary in a store yesterday. It was Mary who I met in a store yesterday. 昨天我在商店遇见的是 Mary. It was in a store that I met Mary yesterday. 昨天我是在商店遇见的 Mary. It was yesterday that I met Mary in a store. 我是昨天在商店遇见的 Mary.
