语法 语言升级点
Present perfect for experience + been vs goneB1
谈论人生经历,区分been与gone
have/has + past participle; been = 去过已回, gone = 去了未回
用现在完成谈论过去经历时,不强调具体时间。例如:I have volunteered at a charity shop. 区分been和gone:She has been to the food bank. (她去过食品银行,已经回来了) She has gone to the food bank. (她去食品银行了,还没回来)。在描述志愿经历时,正确使用been非常重要。
例句
I have helped at the soup kitchen several times.
我在施粥所帮过几次忙。
He has gone to the community centre, so he’s not at home.
他去社区中心了,所以不在家。
常见错误
✗ He has been to the food bank. He’s still there. → ✓ He has gone to the food bank. He’s still there.
人在那里未回,表示「去了」,应用gone,不用been。
↑ 提分:可尝试现在完成进行时强调持续:I have been volunteering there for two months.
Modals for past deduction: must haveB2-
肯定推测过去发生的事情
must have + past participle
must have用于推测某事肯定发生过,常基于证据或逻辑。例如:The volunteers look exhausted. They must have worked very hard. 注意,must have只用于肯定推测;否定推测用can't have。本课只介绍肯定式。
例句
She must have enjoyed the event because she stayed until the end.
她肯定很喜欢这个活动,因为她一直待到结束。
The donation box is empty. Someone must have collected the money.
捐款箱空了,肯定有人收走了钱。
常见错误
✗ They must worked very hard. → ✓ They must have worked very hard.
must have后接过去分词,不能直接接过去式,且不能漏掉have。
↑ 提分:将来可学习 might have, can't have 进行更精细的推测。

Volunteer at Our Community Centre
HELP YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY — VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Our community centre is looking for volunteers to help with several projects this summer. We have opportunities for people of all ages and skills.
- ‘Meals on Wheels’: deliver hot meals to elderly people in the area. Volunteers must have a driving licence and be available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10am to 1pm.
- ‘Reading Buddies’: help children aged 5-8 with their reading skills. No experience necessary; just be patient and enjoy working with young children. Sessions run on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
- ‘Garden Project’: help us create a new vegetable garden for the centre. We need people who are interested in gardening and can work outdoors. Tools are provided. This activity is on Saturdays 9am-12pm.
To apply, please fill in the form on our website or visit the centre in person. You will be asked to attend a short interview. All volunteers must be over 18 years old. If you have any questions, email us at volunteer@greenpark.org.

You have recently moved to a new area and would like to volunteer for a local charity. Write a letter to the charity. In your letter:
- explain why you are interested in volunteering
- describe your relevant skills and experience
- suggest an activity you could help with.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in volunteering for your organisation. I have recently moved to the area and I would like to do something useful in my free time.
I have experience working with elderly people. Two years ago, I helped at a care home in my hometown, where I organised activities and spent time talking to the residents. I found this very rewarding and I believe I have the patience and kindness needed for such work.
I understand that your organisation runs a visiting service for elderly people who live alone. I would like to suggest that you start a weekly coffee morning at a local community centre, because many older people feel lonely and would enjoy meeting others. I would be happy to help organise this event.
I look forward to hearing from you and I hope to have the opportunity to contribute to your valuable work.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Chen
逐句标注
任务“I am writing to express my interest in volunteering”半正式书信标准开头,直接表明目的,清晰覆盖第一个要点。
语法“where I organised activities”关系从句,本课语法点的应用,增加句子信息量。
词汇“patience and kindness”使用B1级抽象名词,展示话题词汇,而非简单词。
衔接“I look forward to hearing from you”恰当结尾,衔接自然,保持半正式语气。
↑ 再上一档:进一步提升:可增加更复杂的复合句(如条件状语从句),并用更精准的同义词替换重复词(如将help改为assist,将do something useful改为make a positive contribution)。
口语 Speaking
Part 1
Q: Do you ever help people in your community?
Yes, sometimes. I have helped at a local charity shop a few times, and it was really enjoyable. I think it's important to give back to your community when you can.
💡 使用现在完成表达经历,chunk「give back」自然带出。
Q: What kind of volunteer work would you like to try?
I would like to try working with children because I have experience babysitting my younger cousins. It must be a very rewarding way to spend your time.
💡 用would like + must be推测,练习情态动词。
Q: Is volunteering common in your country?
I think it's becoming more common, especially among young people. Many students volunteer during the summer to gain experience and help others.
💡 用especially展示词汇,to gain experience来自本课词汇。
Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe a time when you helped someone. You should say:
- who you helped
- what you did
- how the person felt
and explain how you felt after helping.
I'm going to talk about a time when I helped an elderly neighbour. His name is Mr. Hu, and he lives alone. One day, I noticed that he was struggling to carry his shopping bags, so I offered to help. I took the bags to his flat and we chatted for a while. He was very grateful and said that I had made his day easier. I felt really happy afterwards because I had done something useful. It was a small thing, but I think it made a difference. I would definitely like to help out more often in the future.
💡 按四个提示点组织,使用过去进行、过去完成(had made)和chunk,结尾升华。
Part 3
Q: Why do you think some people choose to volunteer?
I think they do it for different reasons. Some people want to gain new skills or experience, while others simply enjoy helping people. It can also be a way to meet new friends and feel part of a community.
💡 使用while对比,列举多个原因,词汇为本课核心词。
Q: Should companies encourage their employees to do volunteer work?
Yes, I believe they should. It can improve employees' well-being and also benefit the company's image. On the other hand, it might be difficult to organise if employees have very busy schedules. But overall, I think it's a positive idea.
