你将学到什么
嘿!你已经掌握了英语基础,现在是时候给表达加点“深度”了。在这一章,你将学会如何像母语者一样自然地表达。比如在社交时,当你想附和朋友说“我也一样”时,不再只会说“Me too”,而是能脱口而出“So do I”;当你觉得咖啡太甜时,你会准确运用“Too much sugar”。 我们还会带你理清那些让人头疼的“双胞胎”表达,比如“On time”和“In time”的微妙区别,让你在约会和工作中永远表现得体。通过学习 however, although 等连接词,你的句子将不再是零散的单词拼凑,而是逻辑严密的段落。此外,你还将掌握描述运动轨迹(Across, Through)的技巧。 学完这 10 个核心规则,你不仅能自如地谈论“不确定的人或事”,还能理清助动词的复杂用法。准备好了吗?让我们一起让你的英语表达更有生活气息!
