The passive for reporting (It is believed that ...)B2
引述普遍观点或事实，不明确指出动作发出者，使语气更客观正式
It + is/was + believed/thought/expected + that 从句
在议论文和正式文体中，使用被动报道结构可以客观地介绍人们普遍接受的观点，避免使用I think或people say等主观表达。常见于Task 2的开头或主体段。例如：It is widely believed that technology has made our lives more convenient.
例句
It is believed that social media can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness.
人们认为社交媒体有时可能导致孤独感。
It is expected that online learning will become even more popular in the coming years.
预计在未来几年，在线学习将变得更加普及。
常见错误
✗ It is believe that technology is bad for health. → ✓ It is believed that technology is bad for health.
被动结构需要使用过去分词believed，而不是动词原形。
↑ 提分：高分段考生可以尝试使用更多样的报道动词（It has been argued that... / It is often claimed that...）或添加副词（It is generally accepted that...）来丰富表达。
Result linkers (consequently, as a result)B2
表示由前文所述情况导致的直接结果，使段落逻辑更清晰
Consequently, / As a result, + 完整句子
在议论文中，当你要说明一个现象带来的后果时，使用consequently或as a result可以让你的论证更有说服力。注意它们与原因连词（because）的区别。Consequently和as a result通常放在句首，后面接逗号。
例句
Heavy use of smartphones can reduce face-to-face interaction. As a result, some people may feel more isolated.
过度使用智能手机会减少面对面互动。结果，一些人可能会感到更加孤独。
The internet gives us instant access to information. Consequently, we can learn about almost anything quickly.
互联网让我们能即时获取信息。因此，我们可以快速了解几乎所有事情。
常见错误
✗ He studied hard, consequently he passed the exam. → ✓ He studied hard. Consequently, he passed the exam.
consequently是副词，不能直接连接两个句子，需要另起一句或在前面加and变成并列句。
↑ 提分：高分段考生可以交替使用其他结果衔接词（therefore, thus, hence）来提高词汇多样性，并尝试将衔接词放在句中，例如：The widespread use of social media has therefore led to changes in social behaviour.

The Impact of Social Media on Relationships
Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook have changed the way people interact. On the one hand, they allow users to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away. For example, people can share photos and updates easily, which helps them feel connected. On the other hand, some experts argue that social media can make people feel lonelier. Because people often post only the best parts of their lives, others may compare themselves and feel unhappy. In addition, spending too much time on social media can reduce the time spent on face-to-face communication. Research also shows that heavy users of social media often report higher levels of anxiety. However, it is important to remember that social media is just a tool. Whether it has a positive or negative effect depends on how people use it.

情景：两名学生讨论科技是否使人孤独的研究课题（Section 3 讨论）
Tom
Hi Lisa, how's your research going on whether technology makes people lonelier?
Lisa
It's been fascinating. I've found that while technology connects people, it can also make them feel isolated.
Tom
Really? How is that possible?
Lisa
Well, when people spend a lot of time on social media, they might see others having fun and feel left out.
Tom
That makes sense. Are there any solutions?
Lisa
Some studies suggest that limiting screen time and making more face-to-face contact can help.
gap_fill1.Lisa's research topic is about technology and __________.
✅ loneliness — Tom第一句：whether technology makes people lonelier，名词形式为loneliness。
gap_fill2.According to Lisa, technology can make people feel __________.
✅ isolated — Lisa：it can also make them feel isolated。

写作 Writing Task 2 (essay) · 目标 250 词
Some people think that technology has made people more lonely. Others believe that it has helped them become closer. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is widely believed that technology has dramatically changed the way we interact with one another. While some argue that it has made us more isolated, others claim that it has brought us closer together. In my opinion, both views are valid, but the outcome largely depends on how we use technology.
On the one hand, there is some truth in the idea that technology can lead to greater loneliness. Many people now spend hours scrolling through social media, and this can replace real-world conversations. For example, instead of meeting friends in person, people often just send a quick text. Consequently, face-to-face communication has decreased, and some individuals feel disconnected despite being constantly 'connected' online.
On the other hand, technology has also allowed people to maintain relationships that would otherwise be difficult to sustain. Video calling applications, for instance, enable families separated by distance to see and talk to each other regularly. Social media platforms help old friends keep in touch and share important life moments. As a result, technology can be a powerful tool for strengthening bonds.
In my view, whether technology makes us lonelier or closer depends on our personal habits. If we use it mindfully to enhance real relationships, it can be beneficial. However, if it becomes a substitute for genuine human contact, it may indeed increase feelings of isolation. Therefore, the key is to strike a balance between online and offline interactions.
逐句标注
语法“It is widely believed that”使用本课语法点被动报道，开场便显正式客观。
衔接“On the one hand... On the other hand...”清晰的段落路标词，使正反论证结构一目了然。
CC/GRA“Consequently, ... As a result, ...”使用本课结果衔接词，逻辑关系明确，语法准确。
词汇“face-to-face communication has decreased”使用课内核心词块，搭配准确。
任务“depends on our personal habits”结尾段重申个人观点，紧扣题目要求论述立场。
🎯 本档语言特征：四段式结构完整（引言—观点A—观点B—个人立场+结论）。准确运用被动报道和结果衔接词，词汇覆盖讨论科技与社会影响的常用搭配（如keep in touch, face-to-face communication）。复合句比例适当，无严重语法错误。整体接近band 7。
↑ 再上一档：向7.0+提升可尝试：① 用更精准的论证句展开（如The tendency to present an idealized version of one's life online can foster unrealistic comparisons, which...）；② 交替使用therefore, thus, hence等衔接词；③ 结尾段深化平衡论（如Ultimately, technology is a double-edged sword whose impact hinges on our ability to manage its influence on our daily lives）。
口语 Speaking
Part 1
Q: Do you use social media?
Yes, I do. I mainly use Instagram and WhatsApp to keep in touch with friends and family. I check them a few times a day, but I try not to spend too much time scrolling.
💡 直接回答并补充使用目的和时长，展示词汇如keep in touch和scrolling。
Q: How often do you use technology to communicate with friends?
I use technology to talk to friends every day, mostly through messaging apps. For closer friends, I sometimes do video calls, which I feel is almost as good as meeting in person.
💡 使用频率和方式，运用比较结构almost as good as，体现语法多样性。
Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe a piece of technology that has changed your life. You should say: what it is; how you use it; why you like it; and explain whether you would recommend it to others.
A piece of technology that has really changed my life is my smartphone. I use it for so many things every day — for communication, for work, for entertainment, and even for managing my schedule. I particularly like the fact that I can have a video call with my parents who live in another city, and it feels like they are right next to me. What I like most is the convenience it offers; all the information I need is just a few taps away. I would definitely recommend a smartphone to anyone, although I would also advise them to be careful not to let it take over their life. For example, I try to put my phone away during meals to focus on the people around me.
💡 四点全覆盖，展示具体例子和利弊平衡。使用本课词汇device, convenience, information等，复合句自然。
Part 3
Q: Do you think older people benefit from technology as much as younger people?
I think they can benefit, but often in different ways. Younger people tend to use technology more for entertainment and socialising, whereas older people might use it more for practical things like online banking or keeping in touch with family. However, some older people find technology difficult to learn, so they might not get as much out of it unless they have help.
💡 分年龄段阐述，使用whereas对比，承认学习困难，展现辩证思考。
Q: What are the negative effects of technology on social relationships?
The main negative effect is that face-to-face communication has decreased. People often prefer to text rather than talk, which can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of deep connection. Also, social media can create false expectations because people only show the best parts of their lives, and this can make others feel envious or lonely. That said, I believe it depends on the individual — if you use technology wisely, you can avoid these problems.
💡 先直接回答问题，再用That said进行让步转折，是6.5分典型高分结构。
高频短语
keep in touch with — 与…保持联系
face-to-face communication — 面对面交流
That said, ... — 话虽如此（用于让步）
It depends on... — 视…而定
应试策略
6.5档核心是结构清晰与语言多样性。Task 2采用固定四段式，开头改写题目并亮明立场，两个主体段分别讨论正反方并用衔接词连接，结尾总结并重申观点。主动运用本课语法点（被动报道、结果衔接词）和话题词汇可快速提升词汇和语法分数。口语部分每题给出直接回答后扩展一至两个理由，并用That said等结构增加复杂度。
本档提分建议
从6.5到7.5的提升要点：① 写作论证要避免泛泛而谈，尽量加入具体例子或原因分析；② 衔接词的使用应从「标志词堆砌」转向逻辑自然衔接（如用代词、同义复现等）；③ 词汇搭配要准确，不要追求难词而是追求地道表达（如strike a balance, take over one's life）；④ 减少小的语法错误（如遗漏第三人称单数s），争取语法零失误。
