五、单元语法
1. 情态动词 could / can 的用法（重点）
• 用法①：表示请求许可或提出请求，could 比 can 语气更委婉、礼貌。
◦ 提出请求：Could / Can you...? （例：Could you please pass me the book?）
◦ 回应请求：肯定回答用 Sure, I’d love to. / Of course. ；否定回答用 Sorry, I can’t. 并说明原因。
• 用法②：表示建议，could 可用于提出委婉的建议。
◦ 句型：You could... （例：You could call her to say sorry.）
2. 宾语从句（that / if / whether 引导）（核心语法）
• 用法①：that 引导的宾语从句，用于陈述事实，that 可省略。
◦ 结构：主语 + 谓语动词（say, think, believe, know 等） + (that) + 从句。
◦ 例：She said (that) she would go to the park tomorrow.
• 用法②：if / whether 引导的宾语从句，用于表达疑问，意为“是否”，不可省略。
◦ 结构：主语 + 谓语动词（ask, wonder, want to know 等） + if / whether + 从句。
◦ 例：I wonder if he will come to the party.
• 注意事项：
① 宾语从句需用陈述语序（主语 + 谓语）。
② 主句为一般过去时，从句需用相应的过去时态；主句为一般现在时，从句时态根据实际情况而定。
六、单元写作
写作主题
My Favorite Way of Communication（我最喜欢的沟通方式）或 How to Communicate Effectively（如何进行有效沟通）
写作结构（以 My Favorite Way of Communication 为例）
1. 开头：点明自己最喜欢的沟通方式，并简单说明原因。
（例：Among all the ways of communication, I like face-to-face conversation best. It is the most direct and warm way to connect with others.）
2. 中间：详细阐述该沟通方式的优点，可结合具体例子说明；也可对比其他沟通方式的不足。
（例：When we talk face to face, we can see each other’s expressions and body language, which helps us understand each other better. Last week, I had a disagreement with my friend. Instead of sending messages, we talked face to face. We both expressed our feelings clearly and solved the problem quickly. However, online communication sometimes leads to misunderstandings because we can’t feel each other’s emotions.）
3. 结尾：总结观点，强调该沟通方式的重要性或表达自己的看法。
（例：In my opinion, face-to-face communication is irreplaceable. It helps us build stronger relationships and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. I will continue to use this way to communicate with my family and friends.）
写作亮点
1. 运用情态动词 could / can 表达建议或请求，增强文章的委婉性。
2. 使用宾语从句丰富句子结构，提升文章的复杂度。
3. 合理使用连接词（however, besides, finally）使文章逻辑清晰，过渡自然。
4. 运用形容词（polite, convenient, warm）和副词（clearly, effectively）增强表达效果。
