中級美國英語助動詞 could
一.本課要點(diǎn)及示例:
在這一課里, 我們要學(xué)習(xí)助動詞 could, c-o-u-l-d, could 和兩個助動詞短語would like to, w-o-u-l-d l-i-k-e t-o, would like to 跟 ought to, o-u-g-h-t t-o, ought to. 我們也要學(xué)習(xí)用連接詞 because, b-e-c-a-u-s-e, because 作句子.
首先我還是請兩位英文老師給你念一段對話,內(nèi)容是說亨利跟他的同事南希聊天的情況. 我請英文老師先用自然速度念一遍, 請你注意聽英文老師的發(fā)音和聲調(diào).
M: Hello, Nancy! Where were you yesterday?
F: I didn't come in because I was sick.
M: You still look a little sick. You ought to go back to bed.
F: I'm going home now.
M: Did you drive today?
F: No, I don't have a car.
M: I can take you home. Would you like a ride?
F: Yes, I'll appreciate it very much. Could you stop at the drugstore on the way? I need to buy some aspirin.
好, 現(xiàn)在我請英文老師再把剛才那段對話用慢速度念一遍, 請你注意聽:
M: Hello, Nancy! Where were you yesterday?
F: I didn't come in because I was sick.
M: You still look a little sick. You ought to go back to bed.
F: I'm going home now.
M: Did you drive today?
F: No, I don't have a car.
M: I can take you home. Would you like a ride?
F: Yes, I'll appreciate it very much. Could you stop at the drugstore on the way? I need to buy some aspirin.
在剛才那段對話里, 有幾個句子用了我們今天要學(xué)的語法, 也就是 could, would like to, ought to 跟 because 的用法, 現(xiàn)在我請英文老師把這幾個句子念出來給你聽.
F: I didn't come in because I was sick.
M: You ought to go back to bed.
M: Would you like a ride?
F: Could you stop at the drugstore on the way?
二.助動詞Could
好了, 現(xiàn)在我們來作練習(xí). 首先我們學(xué)習(xí)助動詞 could 的用法. 這個字是 can, c-a-n, can 的過去式, 是用來表示過去有能力作一件事. 不過這個字還有另外一個用法, 就是可以用在問句里表示客氣地提出請求. 比方有一句話: "我沒有車, 你能開車送我嗎?" 用英文可以這樣說: I don't have a car. Could you give me a ride?
好, 現(xiàn)在我們來練習(xí)這種用法. 由老師念一些句子, 內(nèi)容都是說南希病了, 她客 氣地請人幫忙. 每個句子我們念兩遍, 請你聽一遍, 跟著重復(fù)一遍.
M: I don't feel well. Could you help me?
F: I don't feel well. Could you help me?
M: I am sick. Could you take me to a doctor?
F: I am sick. Could you take me to a doctor?
M: I don't have a car. Could you give me a ride?
F: I don't have a car. Could you give me a ride?
M: I need to buy some medicine. Could you stop at the drugstore on the way?
F: I need to buy some medicine. Could you stop at the drugstore on the way?
M: I need to take the medicine. Could you give me a glass of water?
F: I need to take the medicine. Could you give me a glass of water?
下面我們來作換字練習(xí).由老師念一個句子,比方: "我能借你的字典嗎?" Could I borrow your dictionary? 然后老師給你一個新詞組, 比方: 用你的電話 use your telephone, 請你把新詞組代換到原來的句子里. 每作完一句就請你聽正確答案.
好, 現(xiàn)在我們開始.
M: Could I borrow your dictionary?
M: use your telephone
F: Could I use your telephone?
M: read your newspaper
F: Could I read your newspaper?
M: take you home
F: Could I take you home?
M: see you tomorrow
F: Could I see you tomorrow?
M: talk to you later
F: Could I talk to you later?
三.詞組Would like to
現(xiàn)在我們來學(xué)另外一種客氣話, 也就是 would like to. 這個詞組就是 "要" want to, w-a-n-t t-o, want to 的意思, 不過比較客氣.
下面我們要作一組練習(xí). 由老師念兩個句子, 第一個句子用 want to, 第二個句子用的是 would like to. 這兩句話意思一樣.
M: Nancy wants to see a doctor.
F: Nancy would like to see a doctor.
M: Henry wants to watch television.
F: Henry would like to watch television.
M: Kate wants to buy a sweater.
F: Kate would like to buy a sweater.
M: Susan wants to visit her cousins.
F: Susan would like to visit her cousins.
M: Peter wants to become a sport star.
F: Peter would like to become a sport star.
M: Mary wants to have a weekly allowance.
F: Mary would like to have a weekly allowance.
剛才我們學(xué)習(xí)了怎么用客氣話 would like' to 作陳述句, 下面我們看一看怎么用這個詞組作問句. 比方有一句話: "你要做一個打字員嗎?" 英文可以這么說: Would you like to be a typist? 另外一句話: "你要做市政府工作人員嗎?" 英文可以這么說: Would you like to be a city worker? 好, 現(xiàn)在我們來作換字練習(xí). 老師先念一個句子, 接著老師念一個新詞組, 請你把新詞組代換進(jìn)去. 作完之后, 請你注意聽正確答案.
M: Would you like to be a typist?
M: be a city worker
F: Would you like to be a city worker?
M: sing in a concert
F: Would you like to sing in a concert?
M: live near the university
F: Would you like to live near the university?
M: sit next to the window
F: Would you like to sit next to the window?
M: take two suitcases to New York
F: Would you like to take two suitcases to New York?
下面我們換一個方式作練習(xí). 老師用 would you like to 作一個問句, 比方: "你要作一個救火員嗎?" Would you like to be a fire fighter? 然后你會聽到老師說 Yes或是 No, 請你根據(jù)你所聽到的回答問題. 如果是肯定的, 就用 would 回答, 是否定的就用would not, 也就是wouldn't 回答. 作了答案之后, 請你聽正確答案.
M: Would you like to be a fire fighter?
M: Yes
F: Yes, I would like to be a fire fighter.
M: Would you like to buy this record?
M: No
F: No, I wouldn't like to buy this record.
M: Would you like to have a glass of milk?
M: No
F: No, I wouldn't like to have a glass of milk.
M: Would you like to live near the factory?
M: No
F: No, I wouldn't like to live near the factory.
M: Would you like to play football this Friday?
M: Yes
F: Yes, I would like to play football this Friday.
四.詞組Ought to
下面我們來學(xué)一個新詞組 ought to. 這個詞組的意思等于我們以前學(xué)過的助動詞 should, s-h-o-u-l-d, should, 意思就是勸人應(yīng)該作某一件事.比方有一句話: "你應(yīng)該在銀行停一下", 英文可以這樣說: You should stop at the bank. 也可以這樣說: You ought to stop at the bank.
現(xiàn)在我們來作練習(xí). 由老師先用 should 作一個句子,請學(xué)生用 ought to 代替. 請你在學(xué)生念句子的時候跟著重復(fù). 現(xiàn)在我們開始:
M: Nancy should see a doctor.
F: Nancy ought to see a doctor.
M: Kate should stop at the bank.
F: Kate ought to stop at the bank.
M: Henry should get in shape again.
F: Henry ought to get in shape again.
M: Peter should take out the garbage.
F: Peter ought to take out the garbage.
M: Linda should save some of her weekly allowance.
F: Linda ought to save some of her weekly allowance.
M: Mary should clean up her room.
F: Mary ought to clean up her room.
五.連接詞 Because
好了, 現(xiàn)在我們來學(xué)這一課要教的最后一個語法, 也就是連接詞because "因?yàn)?quot;的用法. 要是有人問你: "為什么人們給市政府工作呢?" Why do people work for city governments? 你可以這樣回答: 因?yàn)槭姓ぷ魅藛T退休時候有不少退休金. Because city workers get a good pension when they retire.
下面這組練習(xí), 是由老師根據(jù)這一課開頭那段說到南希生病的對話提出幾個問題, 請學(xué)生用 because 來回答問題. 請你注意聽.
M: Why does Nancy have to go home?
F: She has to go home because she needs to rest.
M: Why should Nancy go back to bed?
F: She should go back to bed because she is sick.
M: Why does Nancy have to stop at the drugstore?
F: She has to stop because she wants to buy some aspirin.
M: Why doesn't Nancy drive to work?
F: She doesn't drive to work because she doesn't have a car.
下面這組練習(xí)是由老師提出一個問題. 接著他再念一個短句, 請你用 because跟這個短句來回答問題. 在你回答之后請你注意聽正確答案. 好, 現(xiàn)在我們就開始:
M: Why do you study English?
M: It's useful.
F: I study English because it's useful.
M: Why is he listening to radio?
M: There is a good program.
F: He is listening to radio because there is a good program.
M: Why can't we play tennis now?
M: It's raining.
F: We can't because it's raining.
M: Why didn't she go to the party with us?
M: She had to work.
F: She didn't because she had to work.
六.聽短文回答問題
今天要聽的文章是說到亨利和南希都是市政府工作人員, 談到了他們兩個人工作的性質(zhì).
請你注意聽:
Many Americans work for city governments. There are office workers, fire fighters, police officers and public school teachers. Most city workers might not earn a lot of money but when they retire they get a good pension. Henry and Nancy are employees of the city of Seattle. He is a fire fighter. He is on duty eight hours a day. During his shift he eats and sleeps at the firehouse because the fire fighters have to be ready to answer an alarm. Nancy is a typist in Henry's office. She works from 9 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. She works five days a week, Monday through Friday. Her job is to type reports of fire.
等一下我們還會把剛才那段文章用慢速度再念一遍. 現(xiàn)在我們先把今天要測驗(yàn)的三個問題用慢速度念一遍給你聽.
第一個問題是:
M: What are some of the city government jobs?
第二個問題是:
