语法 语言升级点

Past Simple (regular and irregular verbs)B1
表示过去发生并已完成的动作或状态。
主语 + 动词过去式(规则动词加 -ed;不规则动词需单独记忆);否定:主语 + did not (didn't) + 动词原形
过去简单式用来讲过去发生的事情。规则动词在词尾加 -ed,比如 play → played,visit → visited;不规则动词变化要背,比如 go → went,see → saw,have → had。否定句用 didn't + 动词原形。

例句

We visited a museum yesterday.
我们昨天参观了一个博物馆。
She didn't go to the park.
她没有去公园。

常见错误

✗ I didn't went.✓ I didn't go.
didn't 后面必须用动词原形。
✗ He go to the cinema.✓ He went to the cinema.
过去的事要用过去式,不能说 go。
↑ 提分:再高一档可以更自信地使用不规则动词,并加上准确的时间状语使叙述更清晰。
and / then / after that (sequencing)B1
连接一系列过去的动作,让叙述更有条理。
用 and、then 或 after that 连接过去式的句子,表示动作的先后顺序。
讲述过去发生的一连串事情时,可以用 and 连接两个短动作,用 then 或 after that 表示下一个动作。例如:We arrived and found a table. Then we ordered lunch. After that, we walked around the town. 这些词让你的故事听起来更连贯。

例句

First we went to the beach, and then we had lunch.
我们先去了海滩,然后吃了午饭。
We looked at the map. After that, we started our walk.
我们看了地图。之后,我们开始散步。

常见错误

✗ We ate lunch, after that go to the park.✓ We ate lunch. After that, we went to the park.
after that 后面也要用过去式,而且要另起一句或用分号。
↑ 提分:再高一档可以用更多的顺序词,比如 next, afterwards, later,或使用 after + 动名词(After eating lunch, we...)。

A Visit to Sunny Bay Beach
Last Sunday, my family and I visited Sunny Bay Beach. We arrived at 10 in the morning. The weather was beautiful – sunny but not too hot. The beach was not very crowded, so we found a good spot easily. We put our towels down and went into the water. The water was warm and clean. I swam for about half an hour. After that, we had a picnic on the sand. We brought sandwiches, fruit and cold drinks. Everything tasted great because we were so hungry. In the afternoon, we walked along the coast and took lots of photos. There is a small shop nearby that sells ice cream, but there was a long queue. We waited for 15 minutes, but the ice cream was worth it. I really enjoyed the day. Sunny Bay is a perfect place for families, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the sea.

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

You went on a day trip with a friend last Saturday. Write a letter to another friend. In your letter: - describe where you went and what you did - explain why you enjoyed the day - invite your friend to come with you next time
Dear Ben, How are you? I hope you are well. I want to tell you about my Saturday. I went on a day trip with Anna to Blue Lake. It is a beautiful lake about an hour from the city. We left early in the morning by car. The weather was perfect – sunny and warm. First, we walked around the lake. There is a nice path, and we saw many birds. Then we sat on the grass and had a picnic. I made some sandwiches and brought fruit and juice. Everything tasted great. After that, we rented a small boat and went on the water. It was so relaxing. We also took lots of funny photos. I really enjoyed the day because the place was quiet and the air was fresh. It was nice to be away from the busy city. Anna and I laughed a lot and had a wonderful time. Next time, you must come with us. I think you would love it. Maybe we can go in two weeks. Let me know if you are free. Write back soon. Best wishes, Alex

逐句标注

任务“I went on a day trip with Anna to Blue Lake.”开头直接回应题目,说明去哪里了。
衔接“First, we walked around the lake. Then we sat on the grass... After that, we rented a small boat...”用 First、Then、After that 将一系列动作连接起来,使叙述有条理。
词汇“I really enjoyed the day because the place was quiet and the air was fresh.”用 enjoyed、quiet、fresh 等词表达感受,词汇简单但贴切。
语法“It was nice to be away from the busy city.”使用了简单句和不定式短语,语法基本准确。
🎯 本档语言特征:这封信达到了约 band 5 的水平:覆盖了所有三个要点;句子结构以简单句和并列句为主,用了 First/Then/After that 等连接词;词汇多为高频日常词,基本能达意;语法错误很少,但不复杂。对于 4.5 档的学习者来说,这是一个可模仿的范文。
↑ 再上一档:要提高到 band 6,可以尝试:1) 增加更多细节描述,使内容更生动;2) 使用一些复杂句,比如用 which 引导定语从句;3) 减少重复的形容词(如 nice),用更精确的词;4) 尝试用 would 表达邀请时更礼貌的语气。

口语 Speaking

Part 1

Q: Do you like to go on day trips?
Yes, I love day trips. I often go with my friends at the weekend. It's a good way to relax and see new places.
💡 先直接回答,再加一点简单的扩展,说明频率和原因。
Q: Where do you usually go?
We usually go to the countryside or a park nearby. Sometimes we visit a small town. We like places that are quiet.
💡 用 usually, sometimes 表示频率,简单描述地点。
Q: What is important for a successful day out?
I think good weather and good company are important. Also, you need a plan, but not a very strict one. Just a few ideas.
💡 给出两三个简单的点,用 I think 开头,语言不难。

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe a day out that you really enjoyed. You should say: where you went; who you went with; what you did; and explain why you enjoyed it so much.
I'm going to talk about a day out I had last summer. I went to a famous garden with my cousin. The garden was in the north of the city. It took us about one hour to get there by bus. We arrived at 10 o'clock and bought tickets at the gate. First, we walked around and looked at all the flowers. They were so colourful. Then we found a quiet corner and had a picnic. We brought sandwiches and cold drinks. After lunch, we took a boat ride on the small lake. It was very relaxing. I enjoyed this day so much because the weather was sunny and the garden was beautiful. Also, I don't see my cousin often, so it was nice to spend time together. We talked a lot and took many photos. It was a perfect day.
💡 按照卡片上的四点依次讲,用过去式。多用简单句,用 First, Then, After that 连接。讲完内容后,再强调一下为什么喜欢,可以重复一些关键词。

Part 3

Q: Are day trips popular in your country?
Yes, I think so. Many people like to go out on weekends, especially in summer. They often visit beaches, parks or historical places. It's a cheap way to have fun.
💡 给出肯定回答,然后解释谁、去哪里、为什么。用简单的词。
Q: Do you think people will go on more day trips in the future?
Maybe yes, because people want to relax and enjoy nature. But it also depends on money and free time. If they are busy, they might stay home.
💡 用 maybe, depend on, if 等词表达两面观点,不要绝对化。

高频短语

I'm going to talk about...Part2 开头引入话题
It was a perfect day.总结感受,简单有力
I think so, because...Part3 表达观点并立刻给理由

应试策略

4.5 档的关键是「完成任务」。阅读和听力不需要理解每个词,抓住人名、地名、数字、动作顺序就行。写作一定要写满字数,先把题目要求的三个点都覆盖了,用简单句就行。口语每个问题多说一两句,给出一个理由,不要沉默。

本档提分建议

从 4.5 到 5.5,最快的提分点是:1) 掌握过去式的不规则动词,特别是常用词如 go/went, have/had, take/took, see/saw 等;2) 用 and, then, after that 把句子连起来,讲故事更有条理;3) 在写作和口语里,多用本课学过的形容词(crowded, delicious, comfortable)和 chunk(have a great time, it was worth it)。这样能立刻提高流利度和词汇分。
