用来表达个人看法或同意/不同意
I think (that) + 句子;In my opinion, + 句子;I agree (with someone / that ...)
I think 后面直接加完整的句子,可以不写 that。In my opinion 放在句首,后面逗号隔开。I agree 可以单独使用,也可以加 with + 人/观点,或接一个 that 从句说明同意的具体内容。
例句
I think it is a good idea to build a new park.
我认为建一个新公园是个好主意。
In my opinion, children should not have too much screen time.

However 表示转折,类似于 but,常放在第二句句首,后面有逗号。On the other hand 用来提出与前面不同的另一个方面,尤其是对比两个观点时。注意这两个词都不能直接像 but 一样连接两个句子,要单独成句或前面加分号。

Some people like cities. However, I prefer the countryside.
有些人喜欢城市,但是我更喜欢乡村。
Social media can help us keep in touch. On the other hand, it can waste a lot of time.
社交媒体能帮我们保持联系,但另一方面,它会浪费很多时间。
常见错误
✗ I like cats, however, I am allergic. → ✓ I like cats. However, I am allergic.
however 不是连接词,不能直接用逗号连接两个句子,应分成两句或在 however 前用分号。
↑ 提分:以后可以学习更多对比连接词,如 although / while / whereas 引导的从句,它们比 however 更复杂一些。

Screen Time: More Harm than Good?
Are young people spending too much time on social media? This is a question many parents and teachers ask today. Some people say that social media is bad for teenagers. They think it stops young people from talking face-to-face. Also, too much screen time can cause sleep problems and affect schoolwork. On the other hand, there are people who see the benefits. Social media keeps friends in touch. It can also help young people find new ideas and learn about the world. However, most experts agree that there should be some limits on screen time. For example, parents can make rules, like no phones at the dinner table. The important thing is to find a balance.
screen time看屏幕的时间affect影响experts专家balance平衡
MCQ1.What is the main topic of the article?
A. The best social media apps
B. The effects of screen time on young people
C. How to use phones at school
✅ B — 文章主要讨论的是 young people + screen time + social media,和 B 相符。
TFNG2.All teenagers lose sleep because of social media.
✅ FALSE — 文章只说 too much screen time can cause sleep problems,没说所有青少年都因此失眠。
TFNG3.Social media can help teenagers learn about the world.
✅ TRUE — 原文 said: 'It can also help young people find new ideas and learn about the world.'
TFNG4.Experts think children should never use social media.
✅ FALSE — 原文 'most experts agree that there should be some limits on screen time' 只是要限制,不是 never use。
gap_fill5.Parents can make a rule like having no phones at the ____ table.
✅ dinner — 原文直接提到 'no phones at the dinner table'。
💡 技巧:做判断题时,先找题目中的关键词(如 teenagers, sleep, learn),快速到原文定位。正确 TRUE 是原文同义替换,FALSE 是意思相反,NOT GIVEN 是原文没提到。注意 too much 和 all 的区别。
听力 Listening Section 2 · US
情景:一个人在社区会议上发表关于是否建新购物中心的观点(独白)
Speaker
Good evening, everyone. I'm here to talk about the plan for a new shopping centre in our town. Some of you think it's a great idea, and others have worries. Let me share my own thoughts.
Speaker
First, the good things. A new shopping centre can bring more jobs to our community. That's very important for many families. Also, it will give us more places to shop and eat.
Speaker
However, there are problems. The biggest one is traffic. The roads near the area are small, and more cars will make things slow. Also, a big building can be noisy and take away some green spaces.
Speaker
In my opinion, we need to think about balance. Maybe we can have the shopping centre, but we should also make the roads better and keep some green areas. That way, it helps the town but not at a big cost.
Speaker
I think we can all agree on one thing: this plan can be good for us if we are careful. Thank you.
gap_fill1.A new shopping centre can bring more ____ to the community.
✅ jobs — 原文说 'bring more jobs to our community'。
gap_fill2.The biggest problem with the plan is ____.
✅ traffic — 原文 'The biggest one is traffic.'
MCQ3.What does the speaker think about the plan in the end?
A. He is completely against it.
B. He is completely for it.
C. He thinks it can be good if the town is careful.
✅ C — 最后一段说 'this plan can be good for us if we are careful',说明他支持但要有条件。
gap_fill4.The speaker suggests making the ____ better and keeping some green areas.
✅ roads — 倒数第二段 'make the roads better and keep some green areas'。
💡 技巧:Section 2 独白,经常会出现表达观点的信号词,如 In my opinion, I think, 转折的 However。听的时候注意这些词,往往后面就是答案。填空注意拼写,traffic 等不会拼可以试着写下听到的音。
写作 Writing Task 2 (essay) · 目标 200 词
Some people think that children should not spend too much time on social media. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Many people say that children today spend too much time on social media, and it is not good for them. I agree with this opinion. In this essay, I will explain my reasons.
First, too much screen time can harm children's health. For example, looking at a phone for hours can hurt their eyes. Also, if they use social media late at night, they cannot sleep well. This is bad for their body and mind.
Second, social media can stop children from real communication. Instead of talking to family or playing with friends outside, they just send messages. Face-to-face talk is very important for learning social skills. Without it, children may have problems in the future.
However, I do not think we must take social media away from children. It can be useful. For example, they can learn new things or keep in touch with friends who live far away. On the other hand, the bad things are bigger if they use it too much.
In my opinion, the best way is to set limits. Parents should make rules, like no phones at the dinner table and only one hour of social media a day. In this way, children can still enjoy the good parts but they stay safe and healthy.
To sum up, I agree that children should not spend too much time on social media. With good limits, we can protect them and still let them use it.

Q: Do you like having discussions with your friends?
Yes, I do. I think it is fun to share ideas and hear different opinions. Sometimes we agree, and sometimes we do not, but it is always interesting.
💡 直接回答 Yes,然后解释原因,用到 I think 和 agree 等本课重点表达。
Q: Do you use social media a lot?
I use it every day, but not too much. I like to check my messages and see what my friends are doing. However, I try to stop before bedtime because it can keep me awake.
💡 用 however 对比,表达自己的使用习惯和理由。
Q: Is it easy to change someone's opinion?
No, I think it is very hard. People often believe what they want to believe. But if you give good reasons, sometimes they listen. For example, my mother changed her mind about my new hobby because I showed her all the benefits.

Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe a time when you expressed your opinion about something.
You should say:
- what the topic was
- who you spoke to
- what opinion you gave
- and explain how the other person reacted.
I want to talk about a time I told my friend my opinion about junk food. My friend eats a lot of fast food every week. I was worried about his health, so one day I said, 'I think you should eat less junk food. It can make you feel tired and gain weight.' He was a little surprised at first. But then he said, 'Maybe you're right.' He didn't change immediately, but after a few weeks, he told me he tried to cook more at home. He said he felt better, and I was really happy that my opinion helped him a little.
This showed me that giving an opinion can be good if you do it carefully and because you care.
💡 用过去时简单叙述一个小故事,清楚交代 what, who, what opinion, how reacted。用 I said... 直接引语,符合低档表达习惯。
Part 3
Q: Why do some people find it difficult to give their opinions?
I think some people are shy. They worry that others will disagree or laugh at them. Also, in some cultures, it is not nice to say your opinion too strongly, so they stay quiet. But I believe it is important to speak up sometimes, especially if it is for a good reason.
💡 用 I think, also, but I believe 等组织要点,分点说明原因。
Q: Should children be encouraged to give their opinions?
Yes, I think so. When children learn to give opinions early, they can become more confident. But it is also important to teach them to listen to others. So, adults should show how to say what you think in a polite way. For example, using 'I think' instead of 'You are wrong' is better.
💡 先明确立场 Yes,再用 but 和 so 展开,举例说明,内容丰富。
高频短语
I think / I believe ... — 表达观点
In my opinion, ... — 正式一点表达看法
Some people say that ..., but I think ... — 引出别人观点并对比自己的
For example, ... — 举例子支持观点
应试策略
4.5 档口语和写作的重点是「清晰表达自己观点并给简单理由」。不要担心复杂词汇,多用 I think, because, for example。阅读和听力则要抓取观点词(positive/negative, benefit/drawback)和转折后的内容。
本档提分建议
想要从 4.5 到 5.0,重点练习在表达观点时加上 however 或 on the other hand,展现简单的对比能力。在写作中确保每个观点都跟着一个理由或例子,不要只说「好/不好」就结束。
