Inverted conditionals (should you...)C1
让正式书信或提案的语气更精炼、更正式，是高分写作的典型特征。
把第一条件句中的 if 省略，将 should 提前：Should you require further information, please let us know. (= If you should require...)
条件倒装只用于非常正式的场合，通常搭配 should / were / had。在提案信中，可用于礼貌地建议联系或表达假设，比如 Should the council approve the plan, ... 它能立即提升语言档次，但不宜频繁使用。
例句
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
如果您有任何问题，请随时联系我。
Should the scheme prove successful, we will expand it to other areas.
如果该计划获得成功，我们将把它推广到其他地区。
常见错误
✗ Should you have any problem, please calling us. → ✓ Should you have any problem, please call us.
倒装条件句后是主句，不是 ing 形式，应用祈使句或陈述句。
↑ 提分：8.5档能在同一封信里自然切换倒装与正常语序，并搭配其他正式句式（如被动、名词化）而不显刻意。
Emphasis and contrast (not only ... but also)C1
强调两个相关的观点，同时突出后者的递进或对比关系，使论证更有层次。
Not only + 助动词/be + 主语 + ..., but (also) ...；可进一步用 not simply ... but ... 等变体。
在提案中，可用此结构突出双重好处：Not only would this reduce costs, but it would also enhance our reputation. 倒装部分（Not only + 助动词 + 主语）注意主谓一致，后面通常跟 but also。
例句
Not only is this approach cost-effective, but it also minimises environmental damage.
这种方法不仅成本效益高，而且能最大程度地减少环境损害。

✗ Not only this is important, but also it is urgent. → ✓ Not only is this important, but it is also urgent.

Green Office Initiative: A Feasibility Report
This report assesses the feasibility of implementing a Green Office Initiative across the three branches of the company. The proposal, put forward by the Sustainability Committee, includes measures such as reducing paper use, installing energy-efficient lighting, and introducing a comprehensive recycling programme.
Findings indicate that initial costs for LED lighting and paperless technology would be recouped within approximately two years through lower energy bills and reduced stationery purchases. Moreover, staff surveys show strong support for more environmentally friendly practices: 78% of respondents stated that they would be willing to separate waste for recycling, and 65% expressed interest in reducing printing.
The main challenge identified is the initial capital outlay, estimated at £45,000. However, should the company secure the available government green grant, this figure would be halved. There is also some concern about the time required for staff training, though this could be addressed through short online modules.
In conclusion, the Green Office Initiative is both feasible and beneficial. Not only would it significantly lower the company's environmental impact, but it is also likely to improve employee morale and brand image. The report recommends a phased roll-out, beginning with the head office.

写作 Writing Task 1 (letter)（formal） · 目标 180 词
You are a member of a local environmental group. Write a letter to the city council proposing a new initiative to reduce plastic waste in the community. In your letter: - describe the problem - explain the initiative you suggest - outline the potential benefits - request support from the council
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing on behalf of GreenFuture, a local environmental organisation, to propose an initiative aimed at reducing plastic waste in our community.
As you are no doubt aware, single-use plastic items, such as bags, bottles and packaging, account for a large proportion of litter on our streets and in our waterways. This not only harms wildlife but also costs the council substantial sums in clean-up operations.
We suggest launching a “Plastic-Free Neighbourhood Challenge” across the city’s residential areas. Residents would be encouraged to register their households and commit to reducing their plastic waste over a six-month period. To make this feasible, the council could provide each participating neighbourhood with recycling bins, reusable bags, and access to water refill stations. Should the pilot prove successful, the scheme could be expanded city-wide.
The potential benefits are considerable. Not only would the initiative significantly cut plastic pollution, but it could also foster a stronger sense of community and attract positive media attention. Moreover, it aligns directly with the council’s stated sustainability goals.
We would be grateful if the council could consider providing funding for the initial equipment and promoting the challenge through its communication channels. I am happy to discuss the proposal further at your convenience.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]

口语 Speaking
Part 1
Q: Do you try to be environmentally friendly?
I try, though I'm not perfect. I always bring my own shopping bags, and I’ve cut down on single-use plastics. But I still take the car to work most days, so there’s room for improvement.
💡 真实感强的回答，使用让步和习语（room for improvement），自然流畅。
Q: What do you think is the biggest environmental problem in your area?
Probably air pollution from traffic. The city centre gets very congested, and there are days when you can actually smell the exhaust. I think it’s affecting people’s health, especially children and the elderly.
💡 具体描述问题，使用具体词（exhaust, congested），并用 hedging（I think）保持语气自然。
Part 2 · 提示卡
Describe an environmental initiative you would like to start in your community. You should say: what the initiative is; how it would work; what benefits it would bring; and explain why you think it is needed.
I’d love to set up a ‘Tool Library’ in my neighbourhood. The idea is simple: residents donate tools they don’t use often, and others can borrow them for free, just like a book library. It would work through an online booking system, and a few volunteers would manage the inventory once a week. The benefits are quite clear – it reduces consumption because people don’t need to buy a drill they’ll only use once, and it also builds connections among neighbours. I think it’s especially needed now because so many people live in flats with little storage space, and buying expensive equipment for occasional repairs just isn’t sensible. Plus, it’s a really practical way to encourage a sharing mindset, which is at the heart of sustainability.
💡 结构完整涵盖要点；使用比喻（like a book library）、插入语（the idea is simple）、现实论据（flats with little storage），并升华到可持续发展。语言有7.5档的放松感与精准度。
Part 3
Q: How can governments encourage people to be more environmentally responsible?
Governments have a range of tools at their disposal. Financial incentives, like tax breaks for solar panels, tend to work well. But I think information campaigns are just as important – many people simply don’t realise how much energy they waste. A balance of carrot and stick usually gets the best results: for example, charging for plastic bags while also advertising why it matters.
💡 用习语（carrot and stick）、抽象表达（a range of tools at their disposal），论证有层次。
Q: Do you think individuals can make a real difference, or is it mainly up to big corporations?
That’s a critical question. Honestly, I think it’s both. Individual actions add up – if millions of people decide to use less plastic, that sends a powerful signal to companies. At the same time, corporations have the resources to make changes on a massive scale, like redesigning packaging or switching to clean energy. So in my view, it’s not an either-or situation; we need pressure from consumers and leadership from business.
💡 观点平衡且深入，使用高级表达（add up, send a powerful signal, either-or situation）和连贯逻辑。
高频短语
There’s room for improvement. — 还有改进的空间（地道的自我评估）
A balance of carrot and stick — 软硬兼施的方法（高分习语）
It’s not an either-or situation. — 这并不是非此即彼的情况（辩论常用表达）
应试策略
7.5分的写作要体现语域控制：正式书信中避免任何缩写，用被动语态和名词化增加正式感。阅读和听力要善于识别观点与事实，并抓取条件句（should...）和递进关系（not only...but）。
本档提分建议
从7.5到8.5的跨越点：在口语中能自然使用高级习语和多样结构，在写作中展现句式的灵活性（长短交替、倒装与正常语序穿插），且几乎不犯错。持续扩展collocation是关键。
