谈论人生中的经历,而不说具体时间
主语 + have/has + 过去分词;疑问句 Have/Has + 主语 + ever + 过去分词;否定句 have/has + never + 过去分词
现在完成时用来表示过去的经历,对现在有影响,但不提具体时间。ever 用在问句里表示「曾经」;never 表示「从未」。本课只学习用 ever 问经历和用 never 答没有做过某事,不涉及与一般过去的对比。

例句

Have you ever been to another country?
你出过国吗?
I have never flown on a plane.
我从未坐过飞机。
She has tried bungee jumping before.
她以前试过蹦极。

常见错误

✗ I have been to Paris last year.✓ I went to Paris last year.
有了具体时间(last year)就不能用现在完成时,要用一般过去时。
✗ Have you ever saw a lion?✓ Have you ever seen a lion?
完成时要用过去分词 seen,不是 saw。
↑ 提分:更高分数可加入 already, yet, so far 等词,让表达更丰富。
been vs goneB1

My Most Unforgettable Trip
Travel Talk Forum Topic: What is your most unforgettable trip? Lisa_92: Last summer I went to New Zealand with my family. It was my first time overseas. We visited a beautiful lake and saw a huge waterfall. I even tried bungee jumping! I was so scared but also excited. I will never forget that day. MarkH: I have never been abroad, but I had an amazing trip inside my own country. Two years ago, I went to the mountains with my friends. We walked for five hours and camped near a river. At night, we saw so many stars. It was wonderful. TravelBug33: I went to Japan alone. At first, I was nervous because I didn't speak the language. But the people were very friendly and the food was great. I tried sushi for the first time. Now I want to go back again. JennyL: I haven't travelled much, but once I visited a small island near my city. The boat ride was only one hour. The beach was clean and quiet. I just sat and read a book. It was simple but very relaxing.

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

You have recently been on a trip with a new hobby group. Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter: - explain where you went and what you did - describe your feelings during the trip - invite your friend to join the next trip.
Dear Alex, How are you? I hope you’re well. I want to tell you about a trip I went on last weekend with my new hiking club. We went to the Blue Mountains. It was my first time there, and it was a wonderful experience. We walked for about three hours. The views were amazing. I have never seen so many trees and flowers before. I felt really happy and free in nature. At one point, we climbed a steep hill and I was a little scared, but I made it to the top. I was so proud of myself afterwards. We took many photos at the top and ate lunch there. The weather was perfect — sunny but not too hot. We are already planning another trip next month. Would you like to come with us? You don’t have to be an expert hiker. It would be great to have you there. Let me know if you are interested, and I will send you the details. Hope to see you soon! Best wishes, Pat

口语 Speaking

Part 1

Q: Have you ever been on a trip to another city?
Yes, I have. I went to Sydney two years ago. It was a short trip, but I really liked it. I saw the Opera House and walked around the harbour.
💡 用现在完成时问,回答先用 Yes, I have,再用一般过去说细节。
Q: Do you like trying new food when you travel?
Yes, I do. I think it's fun to try new things. When I was in Thailand, I tried a spicy soup. It was very hot, but I liked it.
💡 直接回答并给出简单例子,用一般过去描述具体经历。
Q: What is the most exciting thing you have ever done?
I think the most exciting thing was riding a horse on the beach. I have only done it once, but it was wonderful. I felt free.
💡 使用最高级 the most exciting,并用现在完成时描述经历次数。

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe an unforgettable trip you have been on. You should say: where you went; who you went with; what you did there; and explain why it was unforgettable.
I'd like to talk about a trip to the Gold Coast I took with my family three years ago. We stayed in a hotel near the beach. It was my first time seeing the ocean, so I was very excited. During the day, we swam in the sea and built sandcastles. My little brother was so happy. We also visited a theme park and went on some rides. One ride went upside down and I was scared, but I laughed a lot afterwards. The best part was watching the sunset on the last evening. The sky turned orange and pink. I took a photo and I still look at it sometimes. This trip was unforgettable because it was my first real holiday by the sea and I spent great time with my family. I hope to go back one day.
💡 按照提示卡的四点顺序描述:地点、同行人、活动、为何难忘。尽量使用过去时态,结尾可以用现在完成时表达对未来希望。说满1-2分钟,注意流利度和简单连接词。

Part 3

Q: Why do people like to travel to new places?
I think people like to see new things and learn about different cultures. Also, a trip can help you relax and forget about work. Some people enjoy taking photos and sharing them with friends. It makes them happy.
💡 从多个角度回答:新鲜感、放松、分享。用简单句并列。
Q: Do you think it's better to travel alone or with others?
It depends. Travelling alone gives you freedom. You can decide everything yourself. But travelling with friends or family is more fun because you can share the experience. I usually prefer going with one or two close friends.
💡 用 It depends 引出两种选择,然后给出个人偏好。

高频短语

It was my first time ...描述第一次做某事
I was so excited / scared / happy表达当时的感受
To be honest, ...说自己的真实想法,使回答更自然
I will never forget ...强调某事的难忘程度

应试策略

在4.5档,对于经验和经历的话题,关键是能用现在完成时表达是否做过某事,并用一般过去时描述具体细节。阅读和听力要抓住关键词,如地点、活动、观点。写作要确保覆盖全部要点,书信格式正确,字数达标。口语每个问题尽量回答2-3句,给出一个例子或理由。

本档提分建议

要稳定达到4.5并冲击5分,请做到:1) 准确区分 been to 和 gone to;2) 谈论经历时,先一般回答是否做过,再给出一个过去的具体例子;3) 背诵几个常用形容词表达感受(excited, scared, wonderful);4) 在口语和写作中主动使用本课学的现在完成时句型 Have you ever...? / I have never...;5) 写作时数清字数,务必超过150词。
