语法 语言升级点

like/love/hate + -ing (gerund)B1
表达喜欢、喜爱或讨厌做某事
主语 + like/love/hate + 动词-ing
在动词 like, love, hate 后面,如果接另一个动作,通常用 -ing 形式(动名词),表示一般性的喜好。例如 I like cooking(我喜欢做饭)。注意不要与 would like to do 混淆。

例句

I enjoy cooking for my family.
我喜欢为家人做饭。
She hates washing dishes after dinner.
她讨厌饭后洗碗。

常见错误

✗ I like cook for my friends.✓ I like cooking for my friends.
like 后面不能直接加动词原形,要用 -ing 或 to do(但 -ing 更常见于一般喜好)。
↑ 提分:在更高档位,可以替换为更丰富的表达,如 be keen on, be fond of + -ing,或使用 really enjoy 强化语气。
would like (to)B1
礼貌地表达想要某物或想做某事
主语 + would like + 名词 / 主语 + would like + to + 动词原形
would like 比 want 更礼貌,常用于点餐或邀请。后面可接名词(I'd like a coffee)或 to + 动词原形(I'd like to order a pizza)。否定形式是 would not like。

例句

I'd like a glass of water, please.
我想要一杯水。
Would you like to try my pasta?
你想尝尝我做的意大利面吗?

常见错误

✗ Do you like to come to dinner?✓ Would you like to come to dinner?
邀请别人通常用 Would you like to …? 而不是 Do you like …?
↑ 提分:在更高档位,可以用更正式的 I would prefer to 或 I wonder if you'd like to 表达更委婉的请求。

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

You have just tried a new recipe and made a meal for yourself. Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter: - Describe the meal you made. - Explain why you enjoyed making it. - Invite your friend to come and try it.
Dear Jen, How are you? I hope you are well. I want to tell you about a meal I made yesterday. I tried a new pasta recipe, and it was delicious! I found the recipe on a cooking website. It was for spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce. I went to the shop and bought fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil. I boiled the pasta in a big pot. Then I fried the onions and garlic in some oil. After that, I added the tomatoes and cooked them for about ten minutes. Finally, I mixed the pasta with the sauce and put some basil leaves on top. The smell was wonderful. I really enjoy cooking because it helps me relax after a busy day at work. I like trying new recipes, and this one was very easy. It made me feel happy to eat something I made myself. I would like you to come and try it. You can come for dinner this weekend if you are free. I can make the same pasta for you, and we can have a salad too. We can also watch a film after dinner. Please let me know if you can come. I look forward to seeing you. Best wishes, Mia

↑ 再上一档:提升到 5.5 档:增加更多连接词(however, in addition),使用更具体的动作词汇(simmer, sauté),添加感官描述(tender, golden),让段落更丰富。

口语 Speaking

Part 1

Q: What kind of food do you like?
I like Italian food, especially pasta and pizza. I enjoy the taste of tomatoes and cheese.
💡 回答具体种类,用 like/enjoy + 名词/动名词,再加一点原因。
Q: Do you like cooking?
Yes, I do. I like cooking because it is creative and I can make healthy meals.
💡 正面回答后用 because 给一个理由,like + -ing 结构。

💡 说出频率,再补充一点细节。

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe a dish you know how to cook. You should say: what the dish is, what ingredients you need, how you make it, and explain why you like it.
I would like to talk about spaghetti bolognese, a simple pasta dish. To make it, I need pasta, minced meat, tomatoes, onions and garlic. First, I boil the pasta. Then I fry the onions and garlic, add the meat and cook it until brown. Next, I add the tomatoes and let it cook for twenty minutes. Finally, I serve the sauce on the pasta. I like this dish because it is delicious and easy to make. It reminds me of dinners at home with my family.
💡 按提示卡顺序:菜名→食材→步骤(用 first, then, next, finally)→喜欢的原因(用 because 和 remind me of)。说话时语速放慢,每个步骤说清楚。

Part 3

Q: Is it important for children to learn to cook?
I think yes, it is a useful skill. When children learn to cook, they can make their own food and eat more healthily. Also, cooking together is fun for families.
💡 给出观点,用 useful skill / healthily / fun 等词支持观点。
Q: Do you think people in your country eat more healthy food now than in the past?
Some people do and some don't. There are more healthy options now, like vegetarian meals and salads. But many people still eat fast food because it is quick and cheap.

高频短语

I enjoy/like ...表达喜欢做某事或某物
It tastes ...描述食物味道
I would like to ...礼貌表达想要做某事
a simple dish形容一道简单的菜
it reminds me of ...表示食物让你想起什么

应试策略

4.5 档最重要的是「清楚表达基本信息」。阅读和听力抓牢固关键数字、步骤和名字。写作务必覆盖所有三个要点,哪怕句子简单也要写满 150 词。口语每个问题回答 2-3 句,用 like/because 扩展,避免一个字答案。

本档提分建议

从 4.5 到 5.5,最快的提分方法是:①将 like/love + -ing 和 would like 用对、用准;②练习用 and, then, because, but 连接想法;③学习更多食物味道和动作词汇(creamy, boil, fry),让表达更丰富。
