语法 语言升级点

a few / a little (countable/uncountable)B1
表示「少量,一些」
a few + 可数名词复数;a little + 不可数名词
a few 用于可数名词(a few apples),a little 用于不可数名词(a little milk)。都表示「有一些」,不是「很少」。区别:few/little 表示「几乎没有」。

例句

I need a few potatoes for dinner.
我晚餐需要几个土豆。
There is a little rice left.
还剩一点米饭。

常见错误

✗ I need a little apples.✓ I need a few apples.
apples 可数,要用 a few。

Imperatives (giving instructions/ordering)A2
表示命令、请求、说明或指示
动词原形开头;否定 Don't + 动词原形
祈使句直接以动词开头,没有主语。用于点单、给指引、提要求等,语气直接。加 please 可使语气更礼貌。

例句

Give me two kilos of tomatoes, please.
请给我两公斤西红柿。
Don't touch the fruit!
别碰水果!

常见错误

✗ You give me two kilos.✓ Give me two kilos.
祈使句省略主语 you。
↑ 提分:再高一档可换用 Could you ...? 或 Would you mind ...? 使请求更委婉。

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

You went to a local market last weekend and bought some food. Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter: - describe the market and what you bought - explain why you like this market - invite your friend to go with you next time.
Dear Alex, How are you? I hope you are well. Last Saturday, I went to the local market to buy food. There were many stalls with fresh fruit, vegetables and meat. I bought a lot of things. I got some tomatoes, carrots, and a few bananas. I also bought some chicken and a little cheese. The tomatoes were very red and cheap. The cheese was on special offer, so I got 200 grams for only £2.50. There was a stall selling fresh bread, and I bought a nice loaf. I really like this market because the food is fresh and not too expensive. The sellers are friendly and helpful. It is also near my flat, so I can walk there in ten minutes. I can find things there that are not in the supermarket. Would you like to come with me next weekend? We can look at all the stalls and have lunch at the cafe. I think you will enjoy it. Let me know if you are free. Write back soon. Best wishes, Li

口语 Speaking

Part 1

Q: Do you like shopping for food?
Yes, I do. I like going to the market because it's fun and the food is fresh. I go every Saturday morning.
💡 先直接回答,再给理由和频率。
Q: What food do you often buy?
I often buy vegetables like tomatoes and carrots. I also buy some fruit, such as apples and bananas. Sometimes I get a little cheese.
💡 使用 like/such as 举例,用 a little 修饰不可数名词。
Q: Do you prefer shopping at a market or a supermarket?
I prefer the market. The market has cheaper and fresher food. The sellers are very friendly, and I can talk to them.
💡 比较级练习,用 because 给理由。

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe a food market that you have visited. You should say: where it is; what you can buy there; who you usually go with; and explain why you like it.
I want to talk about a market near my home. It is a small outdoor market in my town. It is open every Saturday morning. You can buy many things there: fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish. There are also stalls that sell cheese, bread, and flowers. The food is always fresh because the farmers bring it from their farms. I usually go with my flatmate. We like to walk around and look at the different stalls. Sometimes we buy a snack and eat it there. I like this market because it is full of life and the prices are good. It is a nice way to start the weekend.
💡 按提示卡四点:位置→卖什么→和谁去→为什么喜欢。使用简单句和常用词汇,注意时态一般现在和过去混合。

Part 3

Q: Why do some people prefer to buy food in large supermarkets?
I think some people prefer supermarkets because they are convenient. You can buy everything in one place and the prices are often the same. It is also faster because you don't have to walk from stall to stall.
💡 Part3 给两点原因,用 because 连接。
Q: Do you think local markets will disappear in the future?
I don't think so. Local markets are still popular because they have fresh food and people enjoy the experience. Some people like to support local farmers. But they have to compete with supermarkets, so it might be difficult.
💡 表达观点,用 because/so 连接。

高频短语

I like going to the market because ...表达喜欢去市场的原因
The food is fresh and not too expensive.描述食物的两个优点
Would you like to come with me?礼貌邀请别人

应试策略

4.5档学习者在购物场景下,重点掌握数字、价格、数量的听力阅读技巧。写作不要漏掉任何一个要点,可以用 I/You 保持非正式语气。口语每个问题说2-3句,尝试使用本课学的 a few/a little 和祈使句。

本档提分建议

从4.5到5.5的路上,要刻意练习 a few/a little 这类限定词的准确使用,减少 He go 等主谓一致错误。写作尝试用 and/but/so/because 把两个短句连成长句。
