语法 语言升级点
Comparatives (-er / more ...)B1
比较两样东西
短形容词 + -er；长形容词 more + 形容词；后接 than
单音节形容词加 -er（cheaper, bigger）；两个及以上音节多用 more（more expensive）。不规则：good→better，bad→worse。
例句
This job is easier than my old one.
这份工作比我以前那份更简单。
Full-time work is more tiring than part-time work.
全职工作比兼职工作更累。
常见错误
✗ This shift is more better. → ✓ This shift is better.
-er 和 more 不能同时用。
↑ 提分：再高一档可用 far/much/slightly + 比较级（much easier, slightly better）表示程度。
too … / not … enoughB1
表达程度过度或不足
too + 形容词 (+ for 人/事 + to do) ; not + 形容词 + enough (+ to do)
too 表示「太……以至于不能……」，有否定意味；not ... enough 表示「不够……」。两者都用来描述不能满足要求的情况。
例句
The job is too hard for me to do alone.
这份工作太难了，我一个人做不了。

Changes to the Morning Shift
NOTICE TO ALL STAFF
From next Monday, 15 May, there will be a small change to the morning shift.
Currently, the morning shift starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. The new start time will be 7:30 a.m., and the shift will finish at 3:30 p.m. This change is only for the morning shift. The afternoon and night shifts will stay the same.
Why is this happening? Some employees said the old schedule was not flexible enough. A few workers found it too hard to pick up their children from school. The earlier finish time will give them more time in the afternoon.
If you cannot start at 7:30, please talk to your manager before Wednesday, 10 May. You can ask to move to a different shift if you have a good reason.
Thank you for your understanding.
currently目前flexible灵活的reason理由
TFNG1.The morning shift will start 30 minutes later than before.
✅ FALSE — 通知说新的开始时间改为7:30，原来8:00，所以是提前30分钟，而不是推迟（later）。
TFNG2.All shifts will change from next Monday.
✅ FALSE — 通知说 This change is only for the morning shift. 下午和夜班不变。
MCQ3.Why is the morning shift changing?
- A To save money
- B To help workers with childcare
- C To make the work harder
✅ B — 通知中提到：Some employees said ... found it too hard to pick up their children from school. 更改是为了方便接孩子。
gap_fill4.Workers who cannot start at the new time should talk to their manager by ___.
✅ Wednesday, 10 May — 原文：please talk to your manager before Wednesday, 10 May.
💡 技巧：先扫读问题，确定关键词（如时间、原因）。然后回原文定位，注意近义词替换（如 start time → begins at）。判断题要仔细对比，TRUE/FALSE 都要有原文依据。

情景：公司经理在员工会议上通知新的安全培训安排（Section 2 独白）
Manager
Good morning, everyone. Thanks for coming. I have an important announcement about safety training.
Manager
As you know, all employees must do a safety training every year. This year, the training will be on two dates: Monday, 20 June and Tuesday, 21 June.
Manager
You can choose the date that is better for you. The training starts at 9:00 in the morning and finishes at 12:00. It will be in Room 5 on the ground floor.
Manager
Please bring your employee ID card. A light lunch will be provided after the training. If you have any special food needs, tell the office by Friday.
Manager
Remember, the training is not too long, but it is important. If you do not attend, you will have to do it next month, which is much busier. So please plan to come.
gap_fill1.The safety training will happen in ___ (month).
✅ June — 经理说 on two dates: Monday, 20 June and Tuesday, 21 June。月份是 June。
gap_fill2.The training takes place in Room ___ on the ground floor.
✅ 5 — 原文：It will be in Room 5 on the ground floor.
MCQ3.What should staff bring to the training?
- A a notepad
- B their ID card
- C lunch
✅ B — 经理说 Please bring your employee ID card.
TFNG4.Lunch will be provided for all staff.
✅ TRUE — 经理说 A light lunch will be provided after the training. 所以提供午餐。
TFNG5.Next month will be less busy.
✅ FALSE — 经理说 next month, which is much busier，所以下个月更忙。
💡 技巧：Section 2 常考时间、地点和注意事项。提前读题并圈出需要抓取的信息（如数字、房间号）。听时注意近义表达：如 bring your ID card 可能说成 have your card。
写作 Writing Task 1 (letter)（semi-formal） · 目标 150 词
You work for a company. You need to change your work schedule next week. Write a letter to your manager, Mr Smith. In your letter: - explain why you need to change your schedule - suggest an alternative arrangement - apologise for any inconvenience.
Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing to ask if it is possible to change my work schedule for next week.
At present, I am on the morning shift from 7:30 to 3:30. However, I have a problem. My son has a school sports day next Wednesday, and I need to be there in the morning. The event starts at 9:00, so I cannot come to work at my normal time. I tried to find someone to take my shift, but my colleagues are all busy that day.
As an alternative, would it be possible for me to work the afternoon shift on Wednesday instead? I could work from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and finish all my tasks without any problem. I can also work extra hours on Thursday if that helps.
I am very sorry for any trouble this may cause. I know it is not easy to change the schedule at short notice. I will do my best to make sure the work goes smoothly.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Alex Wang
逐句标注
任务“Dear Mr Smith,”半正式信正确开头，称呼经理用 Mr + 姓。
任务“I am writing to ask if it is possible to change my work schedule”开门见山说明目的，覆盖第一个要点。
衔接“As an alternative, would it be possible for me to work the afternoon shift on Wednesday instead?”用 As an alternative 自然过渡到建议的方案，衔接清晰。
任务“I am very sorry for any trouble this may cause.”道歉表达，覆盖第三个要点。
语法“I can also work extra hours on Thursday if that helps.”使用情态动词 can 表示能力，简单条件句 if that helps，符合 B1- 水平。
词汇“I work from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and finish all my tasks”用词具体如 shift, tasks，符合职场语境。
🎯 本档语言特征：覆盖所有三个要点；句子以简单句和并列句为主，用了 because/so/if 等连接；词汇基本准确；时态无大错误；半正式语气把握得当。整体约 band 5 水平。
↑ 再上一档：向 5.5 提升可加入更多复合句（如 which, that），用 so...that 和 too...to 结构，并使用更丰富的正式表达（如 I would appreciate it if you could...）。
口语 Speaking
Part 1
Q: What is your job?
I work as a sales assistant in a small shop. It's a part-time job, so I can study in the morning.
💡 用简单句说出职业和性质，可加一个理由。
Q: Do you like your work schedule?
Yes, I do. My schedule is flexible. I can choose my shifts, which is very helpful.
💡 用 flexible 这个词，再用 which 补充一句。
Q: Would you like to change to a full-time job?
Not now. I want to finish my studies first. Maybe after I get my degree, I will look for a full-time job.
💡 两步回答：现在不，说明理由；将来可能会。
Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe a job you would like to have in the future. You should say: what the job is; what skills you need for it; why you think you would enjoy it; and explain how you plan to get this job.
I would like to be a graphic designer. This job is about making pictures and designs for websites or ads. I think it is creative and fun. To do this job, I need good computer skills and an eye for colour. I also need to learn how to use design software. I think I would enjoy it because I love drawing and I can work from home sometimes. It is also less stressful than an office job. My plan is to take an online course first. After that, I will make a small portfolio and apply for junior designer jobs. I know it takes time, but I am ready to learn.
💡 按卡片要点逐步回答，多用简单将来时和情态动词。用比较级 less stressful 显示语法点。
Part 3
Q: What is more important: a high salary or a job you enjoy?
I think both are important, but I would choose a job I enjoy. If I am happy at work, I do my job better. A high salary is good, but it is not enough if I am very stressed every day.
💡 用比较级和 if 条件句，给出简单观点。
Q: Do you think young people change jobs too often nowadays?
Some people think that, but I am not sure. Maybe they change because they want to try different things. Or maybe their first job is not a good match. I think it is okay to change, but not too often.
💡 用 too often 引出本课语法点。用 maybe/or 表达不确定性。
高频短语
I work as a ... — 说明自己的职业
It is less stressful than ... — 比较工作压力
to change at short notice — 临时通知更换（职场常用）
应试策略
4.5 档重点是把基本信息说清楚，不追求复杂。阅读先读题划关键词，再回原文定位；听力抓数字和时间，填空题注意拼写；写作务必覆盖所有要点，字数不少于下限，句子简单但准确；口语每个问题回答 2-3 句，多用 because 给理由。
本档提分建议
从 4.5 到 5.5 最快提分方法：①把习惯用的简单句扩展 1 个 because/so 理由；②在口语和写作里主动加入本课的 too.../not enough 和比较级；③减少单复数、a/an/the 的小错误；④听力提前读题，预测答案词性。
