语音讲解

今日发音练习重点：

1. be(j)ing 音弱、轻、一带而过。不要读成 be应。

2. do(w)ing 近wing音。

言之有物

1. If I were a young woman now, I would...

虚拟语气句式 If I were XX, I would...

这些条件都是未发生的或与现实不符的条件，所以必须得使用假设的说法来表达。

将来会发生事件的假设：If he should/were to..., he would/should/might/could...

If he should go to Harvard University, he would make full use of his time.

如果他要上哈佛大学的话，他就会充分利用他的时间了。

对于现在的虚拟：If he did XX , he would/should/might/could...

If he studied at this school, he would know the enviornment around the school very much.

如果他在这所学校学习的话，他会很了解周边环境。

对于过去事件的假设：If he had done XX, he would/should/might/could have＋动词过去分词

If I had read the book, I would have told you about it. 我如果看过本书，我会告诉你了。

2. spend time doing XX 花费时间做XX

活学活用

请用 If I were XX, I would... 随意造句
