A good idea is to behave well to other people, show them respect. And help them as much as you possibly can, and it will be repaid hundredfolds.

语音讲解：

今日发音练习重点：

1. idea不要发出/r/音。当后面遇到元音时，会带出/r/，如 idea of

2. hundred中第一个音节既不是“汉”，也不是“航”。要掌握/ʌn/音组

言之有物：

1. 词语辨析：possibly&probably

→possibly有三种用法：

① 可能；或许

这也许是他们迄今为止最糟糕的表现。

② 表“尽量”；“尽可能”

词链儿：as XX as someone possibly can 尽某人所能

I will come as soon as I possibly can. 我会尽快赶来的。

They tried everything they possibly could to improve the situation.

他们为改善局面用尽了一切办法。

词链儿：help them as much as you possibly can

尽你所能帮助他们

③ 表加强语气：

I can't possibly tell you that!

我绝不会把那件事告诉你的！

You can't possibly carry all those bags. 你绝对拿不了所有这些包包袋袋的。

（词链儿：can't possibly do something 绝不可能做某事 ）

→probably 几乎肯定；很可能；大概

你很可能是对的。

这两桩案件极有可能互相关联。
