语法 语言升级点
Past simple negative and questions (didn't / did ...?)B1
表达过去没有发生的事情，或询问过去是否发生某事
否定：主语 + didn't + 动词原形；疑问：Did + 主语 + 动词原形...?
在谈论过去经历时，否定用 didn't + 动词原形，千万别把动词变成过去式；问句把 Did 放在句首，动词同样用原形。回答时用 Yes, I did. / No, I didn't。
例句
I didn't go to university.
我没有上过大学。
Did you enjoy your childhood?
你童年过得开心吗？
When did you start your first job?
你什么时候开始第一份工作的？
常见错误
✗ I didn't went to school. → ✓ I didn't go to school.
didn't 后面永远用动词原形。
✗ Did you liked it? → ✓ Did you like it?
did 后面永远用动词原形。
↑ 提分：再高一档可以用 used to 表达过去经常做但现在不做的事，例如：I used to play football every day.
Time clauses with when / before / afterB1
连接两个过去发生的事件，表明时间先后顺序
when / before / after + 句子（一般过去时）
用 when 表示「当……时」；before 表示「在……之前」；after 表示「在……之后」。主句和时间从句的时态通常都用一般过去时，只要两件事都发生在过去。
例句
When I was 18, I left home.
当我18岁时，我离开了家。
I worked in a shop before I went to university.
上大学之前，我在一家商店工作。
After I finished school, I travelled for a year.
毕业后，我旅行了一年。
常见错误
✗ When I will be 20, I got married. → ✓ When I was 20, I got married.
时间从句中不能用将来时，即便是讲未来的计划，也要用现在时；此处讲过去，用过去时。
✗ After I left school, I have travelled. → ✓ After I left school, I travelled.
本档不用现在完成时，两件过去的先后事件都用一般过去时。
↑ 提分：再高一档可引入 after having done 或 before doing 等更简洁的结构，比如 After leaving school, I travelled. 但目前先熟练掌握 after + 从句。

My Story by Anna
MY STORY
Hello, I'm Anna. I was born in Manchester in 1985. I grew up in a small house with my parents and my brother. When I was a child, I loved drawing and playing sports.
I left school at 16 and got a job in a shop. Then I started working in an office. I didn't enjoy that job, so I decided to change. I went to college to study IT. After that, I got a better job at a technology company.
In 2015, I got married. My husband and I moved to a bigger flat near the city centre. Now I have a baby boy and I work part-time. Looking back, I think my most important decision was to go back to college. It changed my life and gave me more opportunities.

写作 Writing Task 1 (letter)（semi-formal） · 目标 150 词
You have seen an advertisement for a volunteer programme abroad. Write a letter to the programme organiser, Mr Brown. In your letter: - introduce yourself and your background - explain why you are interested in the programme - ask some questions about the programme.
Dear Mr Brown,
I am writing to you about the volunteer programme in Africa that I saw in the newspaper. I would like to apply for it.
My name is Li Wei and I am 24 years old. I grew up in Shanghai and I finished school there. After that, I studied nursing at college. I have worked in a local hospital for two years. In my job, I help patients and I enjoy it very much. Last year, I also travelled to Singapore to visit a friend. This gave me my first experience of a different culture.
I am interested in your programme because I want to help people in other countries. I believe my nursing skills can be useful. I also think it is a great opportunity to learn new things.
Could you please tell me how long the programme is? Also, I would like to know what the accommodation is like. Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Wei
逐句标注
任务“I am writing to you about the volunteer programme... I would like to apply for it.”开头直接说明写信目的，覆盖第一个要点。
衔接“My name is Li Wei and I am 24 years old. I grew up in Shanghai...”通过简单句和 and/after that 连接，清晰介绍个人背景。
词汇“I believe my nursing skills can be useful.”使用本课词汇 skill，恰当表达了自己的优势。
语法“Could you please tell me how long the programme is? Also, I would like to know...”用 Could you please... 和 would like to 表达礼貌请求，语法准确。
🎯 本档语言特征：这封信符合 semi-formal 语域，开头和结尾得体。句子以简单句和并列句为主，使用了少量时间连接词（After that, Last year），时态正确（一般现在和过去）。覆盖了所有三个要点，信息足够，长度约160词。整体达到 Band 5 的要求。
↑ 再上一档：要提高到 Band 6，可以尝试加入一些从句（如定语从句 which gives me great satisfaction），使用更丰富的连接词（如 In addition, Furthermore），并更自然地展开段落。
口语 Speaking
Part 1
Q: Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a small city in the north of China. It was a quiet place, and I liked it very much.
💡 用过去时回答，加一点描述和感受。

💡 回答 Yes/No 后补充细节，使用did的否定形式示范。
Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe an important event in your life. You should say: what the event was; when it happened; who was with you; and explain why it was important.
I want to talk about my wedding day. It was three years ago. I got married to my wife in a small ceremony. We had about 30 guests. My family and close friends were there. It was a very happy day. The weather was sunny and beautiful. We took many photos. After the ceremony, we had dinner together. This event was important because it was the start of my new family. I will never forget that day.
