语法 语言升级点

will (predictions)B1
预测未来的天气或情况(肯定)
主语 + will + 动词原形
will 用来表达你很有把握的预报,或者一般性的未来会发生的事。否定式用 will not (won't)。常和 tomorrow, later, next week 连用。

例句

It will be sunny tomorrow.
明天会是晴天。
I think it will rain later.
我觉得等会儿会下雨。

常见错误

✗ It will rains.✓ It will rain.
will 后面一定用动词原形,不加 -s。
✗ I will go swimming if the weather will be nice.✓ I will go swimming if the weather is nice.
在 if 从句里,用一般现在时代替 will。

might (possibility)B1
表示不太确定的可能性
主语 + might + 动词原形
might 表示某事有可能发生,但不肯定。语气比 will 弱。常用在 It might rain. (有可能下雨,但不一定)。

例句

It might be cold tomorrow, so take a jacket.
明天可能冷,所以带件夹克。
I might go to the park if the weather is fine.
如果天气好,我可能去公园。

常见错误

✗ It mights rain.✓ It might rain.
might 后面用动词原形,不加 -s。
✗ I might not to go.✓ I might not go.
否定直接在 might 后加 not,不用 to。
↑ 提分:更高阶段可以换成 may (可能) 或 could (可能性),例如 The weather could get worse.

Weekend Market Weather Update
WEEKEND MARKET - WEATHER NOTICE Please read this important notice about the weekend market. The market is usually on Saturday, but this week there is a change. The weather forecast says Saturday will be very wet with heavy rain all day. The temperature will be around 15 degrees, but it will feel colder because of the wind. Because of the bad weather, the market will move to Sunday. On Sunday, the weather will be much better. It will be cloudy in the morning, but the sun will shine in the afternoon. The temperature will be about 18 degrees. However, there might be a thunderstorm on Sunday evening. If the thunderstorm comes early, we may have to close the market early.

写作 Writing Task 2 (essay) · 目标 200 词

Some people prefer to live in a place where the weather is warm all year. Others enjoy living in places with four seasons. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Some people like to live in places with warm weather all the time. Others enjoy four seasons. I will discuss both sides. Living in a warm place is nice. You can do outdoor activities all year. For example, you can swim or go to the beach at any time. You don't need to wear heavy coats. It is more comfortable. The warm weather is good for health because you can walk and exercise more. Also, you don't need to spend money on winter clothes. On the other hand, places with four seasons offer variety. Spring is beautiful with flowers. Summer is hot and fun. Autumn has colourful leaves, and winter brings snow. Many people enjoy winter sports like skiing. However, cold winters can be hard. You have to heat your home and wear many clothes. It can also be dangerous to drive on ice. In my opinion, I prefer living in a place with four seasons. I like to see the changes. Each season brings something new. I don't mind the cold because I can wear warm clothes and drink hot tea. Every season has special festivals. For example, Christmas in winter feels magical with snow. To sum up, both types of weather have good and bad points. It depends on what a person likes.
