今日发音练习重点:

1. tree 不要发成“吹”,/tr/ = /t?/ +/r/

2. plant 英美发音不同 /plɑ?nt $ pl?nt/

3. undoubtedly 四音节单词,重音在第二音节

言之有物:

1. 植树节

2. undoubtedly

doubt n/v 怀疑,不确定

undoubted adj. 毋庸置疑的;肯定的

undoubtedly adv. 毋庸置疑地;无疑

= without a doubt

近义词:definitely, certainly, indubitably

That is undoubtedly true.

那是千真万确的。

3. if they didn't, life would be much worse for everyone.

虚拟语气:

主句:主语 + would + 动词原形;

从句:if+过去时;

谈论现在或将来非真实的或者不大可能发生的情况,在if从句中用过去时(即使表示的意思是现在的或将来的);主句中用would+动词原形。

What would you do if you got lost? (实际没有迷路)

假如你迷路了你会怎么办?

回顾【虚拟语气】

→ 词链儿:be much worse (for XX) (对XX而言)更糟糕

这次面试比他预计的要糟得多。

→ 拓展:to make matters worse 更糟糕的是
