开口 2.0 四件套
- 名词性从句引导词 whether:whether it's A or B 开头 = 万能铺陈
- 多用动词短语(谓语动词+介词):hold up / get to me / end up / come around
- 使役动词 get:get sb to do sth(让人做);get sth done(让某事被做)
get your passport stolen(护照遭遇被偷);get your car washed(让别人洗车) - 状语加在句尾:英语句子"线性",信息往后堆
一、示范:I'm a glass-half-full kind of person(乐观人设)
I've always been a glass-half-full kind of person, so I take things as they come. Not that I've been through a lot of setbacks — it's that my perspective keeps changing. Whether it's being held up at customs or watching a crappy movie, things like that just don't get to me anymore. I've been around, been through a lot, so I know how experiences shape who I am today.
- not that… it's that…(不是因为我经历多挫折,而是我视角总在变)
- whether it's A or B(不管 A 还是 B)
- don't get to me anymore(再也影响不到我了)
万能句:what rattles me:I know that most of what rattles me will turn out to be the things I'll laugh about six months later.(让我难受的事,六个月后都会变成笑料)
二、口语语法提醒
- 五从句:When(时间)/ what(事情)/ how(怎么)/ whether(是否)/ why(原因)
- 虚拟:could have done(本可以);would have got me fuming for days(本来会让我气好几天)
- get sb to do sth:some people get themselves to keep going(有人逼自己坚持)
三、P2 串题:一个 Nancy 串多题
Nancy 素材可串:① 关注的人 ② 遇到困难却成功的人 ③ 想学的技能 ④ 社交媒体博主
串题结构:谁 → 困难 → 如何解决 → 最终成功
- 人物:Nancy,social media blogger,教英语发音(R blend)
- 困难:刚开始 nobody watched——she had only a handful of followers;she thought about quitting, but she didn't give up
- 如何坚持:she kept making pronunciation videos every single day, improving editing and adjusting her content according to the comments
- 转机:turning point was the video about the R blend——after a month her video went viral overnight;she gained what she deserved
- 成功句:what she did is the reason why her account blew up / went viral
发音细节可视化(R blend 三步)
- move your lips forward
- make a "wu" sound before you speak
- pull your tongue backward as much as you can(print → p(w)rint;group → g(w)roup,更圆润)
结尾升华
Although it seems like a small change, it's changed the way I speak English forever. Thanks to Nancy's persistence, I got great improvement in English pronunciation — and that makes me wanna show my gratitude by sticking with her in the future.
