语法 语言升级点

Past simple: was / wereB1
描述过去的状态、情况或位置
主语 + was/were + 形容词/名词/地点;否定:wasn't/weren't;疑问:Was/Were + 主语...?
was 是 is/am 的过去式,were 是 are 的过去式。例如,现在说「The hotel is nice」过去就说「The hotel was nice」。否定在 was/were 后加 not,缩写为 wasn't/weren't。疑问把 was/were 提前。

例句

The trip was really fun.
那次旅行真的很有趣。
We were in London last summer.
去年夏天我们在伦敦。
Was the weather good?
天气好吗?

常见错误

✗ He were very tired.✓ He was very tired.
he 作主语时,过去式用 was,不用 were。
✗ They wasn't happy.✓ They weren't happy.
they 作主语时,用 weren't。
↑ 提分:再高一档可加入 'used to' 描述过去的习惯状态,或使用过去进行时丰富表达。
Past time phrases (yesterday / last week / ... ago)B1
标明动作发生的时间,与过去简单式搭配使用
时间状语放在句首或句末:yesterday, last + 时间单位, 数量 + ago (e.g., two days ago)
这些词用于说明事情发生在过去。yesterday = 昨天,last week = 上周,two weeks ago = 两周前。放在句末最常见,也可放句首强调时间。

例句

We arrived here yesterday.
我们昨天到这里的。
I called you last week.
我上周给你打过电话。
She left two days ago.
她两天前离开的。

常见错误

✗ I go there yesterday.✓ I went there yesterday.
有 yesterday 时,动词要用过去式。
✗ I saw him before two days.✓ I saw him two days ago.
「两天前」是 two days ago,不是 before。
↑ 提分:再高一档可搭配 'for' 和 'since' 表示持续,或用 'already', 'just' 引入现在完成时。

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

You have just come back from a holiday. Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter: - say where you went and what you did - describe something you really enjoyed - invite your friend to go on a holiday with you in the future.
Dear Alex, How are you? I just got back from my holiday, and I want to tell you all about it! I went to Coral Island with my family. It is a small island not far from the city. We took a boat in the morning and arrived there before lunch. The trip was so relaxing. We walked on the white sand beach, swam in the sea, and saw many beautiful fish. My favourite part was the visit to the north side—we even saw sea turtles! The guide was very friendly and told us interesting stories. I really enjoyed the whole day. The picnic lunch was nice, and the weather was perfect. In the afternoon, I bought a small turtle souvenir for my sister. I think you would love this place too. Would you like to go on a trip together next month? We could go to the beach or the mountains. Write back and let me know! Take care, Sam

逐句标注

任务“I went to Coral Island with my family.”直切主题,说明去了哪里,覆盖第一个要点。
词汇“My favourite part was the visit to the north side—we even saw sea turtles!”使用本课词汇(favourite, visit, even)描述开心的部分,满足第二个要点。
衔接“Would you like to go on a trip together next month?”自然过渡到邀请朋友同游的第三个要点。
🎯 本档语言特征:全部使用简单句和并列句,时态以过去简单式为主;连接词 and, but, so 使叙述流畅;覆盖三个内容要点;词汇虽常见但准确,书信格式正确。
↑ 再上一档:想提升到更高档,可以加入更多描述性形容词(如 breathtaking views, crystal-clear water),并用 because/so 连接更多原因和结果的句子,适当使用现在完成时(have just come back)增加时态多样性。

口语 Speaking

Part 1

Q: Do you like travelling?
Yes, I love travelling. I try to go on a trip every summer. It helps me relax and see new places.
💡 先明确回答,再用简单句补充频率和原因,避免只蹦单词。
Q: Where did you go on your last holiday?
Last summer, I went to a small island with my family. We spent a week there and it was really fun.
💡 用过去式说地点和感受,本课重点句型。

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe a holiday you remember well. You should say: where you went; who you went with; what you did there; and explain why you remember it so well.
I'm going to talk about a holiday I took two years ago. I went to a beach town called Sandy Bay with my best friend. We stayed in a small hotel near the sea. It was not expensive but very clean and comfortable. Every morning we walked on the beach and collected shells. In the afternoons we went swimming or just sat in the sun. One day we took a boat trip and saw dolphins. That was the best part. I remember this holiday so well because it was my first trip with a friend, not family. We felt very free and had so much fun together. Also, the sunsets were amazing—we took many photos. I still look at them sometimes and smile.
💡 按提示卡顺序描述:地方、人物、活动、原因。使用过去简单式,加入细节使故事生动,语速适中,说满 1-2 分钟。

Part 3

Q: Why do people enjoy going on holiday?
People enjoy holidays because they can take a break from work. Travel helps them see new things and learn about other cultures. Also, it is a good time to be with family or friends.
💡 从工作休息、看新东西、与亲人相处等角度回答,给出两三个原因。
Q: Is it better to travel alone or with friends?
I think both are good. Travelling with friends is more fun and you can share the experience. But travelling alone can be more peaceful—you can do what you want. For me, I like a mix.
💡 给出两面观点并总结个人偏好,使用比较级和连接词。

高频短语

It was my first time to ...表达某次第一次的经历
I had so much fun.简单表达玩得很开心
take a break from work表达从工作中休息

应试策略

4.5 档的核心是「简单但正确」。阅读听力时,紧盯时间、数字、人名地名,答案往往原词重现。写作口语中大胆用刚学过的 was/were 和时间状语说过去的事,每句话尽量简短完整,确保语法不出大错。

本档提分建议

从 4.5 到 5.0+:1) 多练过去式的常见动词(went, saw, had, took),减少动词错误;2) 写作和口语中刻意加入本课核心词汇(holiday, trip, sightseeing 等),展示词汇面;3) 每个问题回答后加一句because/so的解释,让内容更充实。
