语法 语言升级点
Passive with modals (can be used to)B1+
描述功能、用途或可能性，常用于说明文和介绍科技产品时
情态动词 + be + 过去分词
在说明设备用途时常用「can be used to + 动词原形」表示「可以被用来…」。区别于主动句，被动语态强调动作的承受者而不是执行者。
例句
The app can be used to track your daily steps.
这个应用可以用来记录你的每日步数。
The screen should be cleaned carefully.
屏幕应该小心清洁。
常见错误
✗ The device can use to send messages. → ✓ The device can be used to send messages.
被动需要 be + 过去分词，遗漏 be 是常见错误。
↑ 提分：可尝试使用其他情态动词，如 should be, must be 等。
Verb + -ing or to-infinitive (stop / remember)B1
区分「停止做某事」与「记得要做某事」等，避免表达歧义
某些动词后接动词-ing形式或to不定式有不同的意义
stop doing 表示停止正在做的事，stop to do 表示停下来去做另一件事；remember doing 记得做过某事，remember to do 记得要去做某事。写作和口语中易混淆，需注意。
例句
Stop touching the screen if it is not working.
如果屏幕没反应，就别再碰它了。
Remember to charge the battery before you go out.
出门前记得给电池充电。
常见错误
✗ I stopped to check my emails every hour. → ✓ I stopped checking my emails every hour.
如果说「停止查看邮件」应该是 stop checking，而不是 stop to check（停下来去做某事）。
↑ 提分：可进一步学习其他动词如 forget, try, regret 等的用法差异。

写作 Writing Task 1 (letter)（semi-formal） · 目标 160 词
You recently bought a new tablet, but you are having problems with it. Write a letter to the store. In your letter: - explain when and where you bought it - describe the problem - say what you would like the store to do.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to report a problem with a tablet that I purchased from your store last Saturday. The model is a TechPro 10, and my receipt number is TP-2341.
The issue is with the screen. When I try to use it, it often freezes or does not respond to touch. I have tried restarting the device several times, but the problem continues. I have also checked that the software is up to date, but this has not helped. This is very inconvenient, as I rely on the tablet for both work and study every day.
I would be grateful if you could look into this matter. If possible, I would like to exchange the tablet for a new one, as I believe it is faulty. Alternatively, a full refund would be acceptable.
I have attached a copy of my receipt for your reference. I hope to hear from you within the next week.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Li

口语 Speaking
Part 1
Q: How often do you use technology in your daily life?
I use technology every day. For example, I use my phone to check messages and my laptop to study. I think it's hard to imagine life without it.
💡 用例子支撑，使用 I think 表达观点。
Q: What is your favourite piece of technology?
Probably my smartphone. It's very useful because I can do many things with it, like taking photos, browsing the internet, and using maps. It helps me stay organised.
💡 描述原因时用 like 列举功能。
Q: Do you think you spend too much time on your phone?
Sometimes I do, especially when I'm bored. But I try to limit my screen time in the evening so I can sleep better.
💡 使用 but 连接，展示让步结构。
Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe a useful electronic device you own. You should say: what it is, how often you use it, what you mainly use it for, and explain why it is important to you.
I'd like to talk about my tablet, which I bought about six months ago. I use it almost every day, mainly for reading e-books and watching online courses. It has a clear screen and a long battery life, so I can use it for hours without charging. One reason it's important is that it helps me study when I'm on the bus or in a café. I also use it to stay in touch with friends through video calls. Overall, it has become an essential part of my daily routine.
💡 使用关系从句（which），描述具体用途，并给出总结。
Part 3
Q: How has technology changed the way people communicate?
It has made communication much faster and easier. People can send messages instantly and make video calls across the world. However, some people feel that we now talk less face-to-face, which might affect relationships.
💡 两面分析，用 However 转折，并使用 which 从句。
Q: Do you think older people find it difficult to use new technology?
Yes, I think many older people struggle because they did not grow up with it. For instance, my grandmother finds smartphones confusing. But with patient teaching, they can learn the basic functions.
💡 举例论证，使用 for instance。
高频短语
can be used to — 说明功能时用被动
I would like to exchange... for... — 书信中要求换货
it helps me stay organised — 口语中解释用途
应试策略
5.5档要在阅读和听力中抓住步骤类文本的关键顺序词（first, then, after that）。写作书信时确保格式正确，开头结尾匹配。口语中试着用两个从句描述设备用途。
本档提分建议
从5.5到6.5：①掌握被动+情态描述功能（can be used to...）；②区分stop doing和remember to do避免歧义；③书信中加入条件句（If possible, I would like...）。
