语法 语言升级点

have got (possession)B1
表示「拥有」,口语中常用,意思等同 have
主语 + have/has got + 名词
在口语中,英国人常用 have got 代替 have 表示拥有。have got 只有现在式,过去式用 had。I have got a car. = I have a car.

例句

I've got a small flat near the park.
我在公园附近有一套小公寓。
She's got a new job in the city.
她在城里找到了一份新工作。

常见错误

✗ I have got a car last year.✓ I had a car last year.
have got 不能用过去式,过去要用 had。
↑ 提分:再高一档可换用 own / possess,语气更书面。
some / any with countable and uncountable nounsB1
some 表示「一些」,any 用于疑问和否定句中
肯定句用 some + 可数复数/不可数名词;疑问和否定用 any
some 用于肯定句:There are some shops. any 用于疑问句:Are there any banks? 否定句:There aren't any playgrounds. 注意可数不可数名词的用法。

例句

There are some nice cafés near my home.
我家附近有一些不错的咖啡馆。
Is there any milk in the fridge?
冰箱里有牛奶吗?
I haven't got any money.
我没有钱。

常见错误

✗ There is some books on the table.✓ There are some books on the table.
可数名词复数要用 are。
↑ 提分:再高一档可学习 a few / a little 的区分,以及 much / many 的使用。

Welcome to Oakwood
Welcome to Oakwood! Oakwood is a quiet neighbourhood near the city centre. It is easy to get around. There is a big supermarket and a post office on the High Street. Next to the post office, you can find a chemist. If you need to send a letter, the post office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. For a nice walk, Oakwood Park is only ten minutes away. The park has a playground for children and a small café. There is also a library on Bridge Road. You can borrow books and use the computers there. It is closed on Sundays. For sports, the Oakwood Leisure Centre has a gym and a swimming pool. It is very popular, so you need to book before you go. There are several bus stops near the park. Bus number 12 goes to the city centre every 15 minutes. We hope you enjoy living here!

写作 Writing Task 1 (letter)(informal) · 目标 150 词

You have just moved to a new neighbourhood. Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter: - describe your new neighbourhood - explain why you like it - invite your friend to visit and suggest what you can do together.
Dear Alex, How are you? I have some exciting news – I moved to a new neighbourhood called Oakwood last month, and I love it. It is a quiet area but very convenient. There is a supermarket, a post office and a chemist on the High Street, only a short walk from my flat. I go to the supermarket twice a week. The park is also nearby; it has a nice café and a playground. I often sit there on sunny days. The bus stop is close, too, and I can get to the city centre in 15 minutes. I like it because everything is so close. I don't need a car. The neighbours are friendly, and the streets are clean. Would you like to come and see it? We can have coffee at the park café or go swimming at the leisure centre. I'm free most weekends, so just tell me when you can come. Write back soon. Best wishes, Li

口语 Speaking

Part 1

Q: Can you tell me about your neighbourhood?
Sure. I live in Oakwood. It's a quiet neighbourhood. There are some shops, a park and a leisure centre. It's nice.
💡 用 there be 句型列出设施,回答简短但完整。
Q: What facilities are near your home?
Very close to my home is a supermarket. I can walk there in two minutes. There is also a bus stop and a small café.
💡 以距离顺序描述,加上时间或距离句子更自然。
Q: Do you like your neighbourhood?
Yes, I do. I like it because it's convenient and quiet. The park is my favourite place.
💡 用 because 给出理由,再补充细节。

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe a place in your neighbourhood that you like to visit. You should say: where it is; what it looks like; what you do there; and explain why you like it.
I'd like to talk about the park near my home. It's called Oakwood Park, and it's only a five-minute walk from my flat. The park is not too big but it has many trees, a small lake, and a playground for children. There is a café inside, too. I often go there on weekends. I like to sit on a bench and read a book, or sometimes I walk around the lake. When the weather is good, I buy a coffee and just relax. I really like this park because it makes me feel calm. It's a peaceful place in the middle of the city. If my friends visit, I always take them there.
💡 按照提示卡顺序组织即可:地点→样子→做什么→原因。时长控制在一分钟左右,适当加入个人感受。

Part 3

Q: What makes a neighbourhood good to live in?
I think a good neighbourhood needs some basic things. First, it should have shops and a park. Also, it must be safe and quiet. Good transport is important, too. If a place has these, it's nice to live there.
💡 用 first, also, too 简单列举条件。
Q: Do you think it's important to have parks in cities?
Yes, absolutely. Parks give people a place to relax and play. They are good for children and families. Without parks, a city feels crowded and boring. So, parks are very important.
💡 正面回答后给出两条理由,用 without... 对比。

高频短语

There is/are ...描述有什么设施时使用
It's close to ...说位置方便
I can walk to ...强调步行可达

应试策略

4.5 档的核心是「说满」和「答对」。阅读听力抓数字、时间、专有名词;写作务必覆盖所有要点,哪怕句子简单;口语每个问题多说 1-2 句,多用 and 和 because 扩展。

本档提分建议

本课关键提升点:1. 正确使用 there be 和 have got 描述社区设施;2. 分清 some/any 在肯定句、疑问句和否定句中的使用;3. 口语中尝试用 I can walk to... 代替 It's near,使表达更地道。
