|写作 · 小作文:动态折线图(法国电力生产)

本课真题:Electricity Production in France by Source(TWh)——1980–2010 年法国各来源发电量,四条线:Thermal 热电 / Nuclear 核电 / Hydroelectric 水电 / Renewables 可再生。纵轴 Y = amount of electricity production,横轴 X = years。

一、看图先分"动静"(板书分类)

  • 静态图:数据停在一个时间点 → 主要写"比大小、排顺序"
  • 动态图:数据随时间走 → 主要写"趋势变化"
  • 本图是动态图:从起点开始讲,一路讲变化。动笔前先观察图表的规律(哪条线最重要、哪条线最戏剧),规律方便你分组——分组之后才讲得出"谁超过谁""谁一直是主力"。

二、写数据的两类句子(板书)

类型板书例句拆解
数值"站"在某高度The number stood at 120 (TWh).
The electricity generated by thermal power stood at 120 TWh in 1980, in France.
stand at = 处于…数值;generated by thermal power 是过去分词短语作后置定语("由热电产生的电")
写"区间"…was between 100 and 150 TWh.
…was under 150 TWh.
Nuclear and hydroelectric power generated under around 60 TWh each…
数值不用死磕精确点,区间(between / under / around)一样算数
写"几乎没有"…and renewables provided nearly zero amount.negligible 微不足道(替换 nearly zero 的同义升级)

三、动态图词库(板书)

增长 = increase / rise;下降 = decrease / fall;稳定 = stable / remain stable;戏剧性地 = dramatically;达到巅峰 = increase to a peak of 425 TWh;超过 = overtake(板书:over- 自带"盖过去"的压制感)。

四、段落怎么组织(本课三招,板书)

  1. 主系表 / 主谓宾打底,"挂"上一个现在分词短语(详见语法页): In 1980, thermal power was the main source of electricity, producing around 120 TWh in France. 主句讲"谁最重要",分词短语补数据——一个句子讲两件事。老师点评:光有一句主系表不够,只讲数据缺对比,要讲清"谁是最重要的",再讲"后来谁超过了谁"。
  2. 用 and 做并联,更短的句子讲更多的数据: Nuclear and hydroelectric power generated under around 60 TWh each, and renewables provided nearly zero amount.
  3. 与第一句呼应:later,谁超过了谁: One year later, nuclear power overtook thermal power as the primary source of electricity.
    Electricity production from nuclear power increased to a peak of 425 TWh between 1985 and 2010. 呼应 + 趋势 + 数据,一段就有了"时间轴"。

老师口头禅(板书):只讲数据缺对比——先讲谁是最重要的,再讲转折:later, 谁超过了谁。

五、自查(板书:路线要规划)

  • LR = 词汇:produce / generate / stand at / provide / overtake 换着用,别一个词走到底
  • GRA = 语法:本课重点——现在分词短语做伴随(挂细节)、过去分词做后置定语、and 做并联
  • CC = 逻辑:上下文要有关系——句与句接得上:第一句谁最重要 → 中间和谁比 → 后来谁超过谁

|语法 · 一个句子一个动词:现在分词短语

回顾:旧笔记里我们搭过两座"桥"——宾语从句(I know (that) you need a cup of water.)和表语从句(A cup of coffee is what I need.)。这一课补上第三座桥:现在分词短语(非谓语动词)

一、为什么需要它(板书:英语要紧凑)

写作、文字——英语文化 = 省略 + 紧凑:越紧越"压缩",信息密度高;用相对短的句子,表达相对多的内容。别把中文流水账一句一句翻过去。

二、两个概念(板书)

概念定义例子
谓语动词实义动词,一句话的"核心"take / pick / use / put / sleep…
非谓语动词动词不做核心,但保留动词的功能现在分词(-ing)、过去分词(-ed/done)

老师的比喻(板书):一个句子 = 鸣人本体放一个核心忍术;两个"影分身"帮本体干别的活——左手螺旋丸的影分身 ≈ 现在分词(动作同时进行),右手飓风螺旋的影分身 ≈ 过去分词(动作被完成)。本体只有一个,分身随便派。

三、典型转换:when 省掉,ing 自带"同时"

两句话 / 从句版分词版(板书)
I sleep when I feel tired.I sleep, feeling tired.
  • 现在分词短语做伴随状语:和主句动作"同时"发生(睡觉的同时带着疲惫)
  • 规则:when 从句的主语和主句相同 → 可以省掉 when + 主语,把动词改成 -ing

四、写作里怎么用(配合小作文页)

  1. 主句"挂"细节: Thermal power was the main source of electricity, producing around 120 TWh in 1980. 主句讲"是什么",分词讲"具体多少"——一个句子讲两件事。
  2. 过去分词做后置定语(被…的): The electricity generated by thermal power stood at 120 TWh. = The electricity (which was) generated by thermal power…(which was 被省掉,写作更紧)
  3. while + 现在分词 = 同时确保(新闻长句里常见): …, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion.

五、自查

  • 一句话只有一个核心动词(谓语);别的动作交给三样东西:从句(宾语/表语/定语)、并列(and)、分词(doing / done)
  • 写完数一数:这句话里"分身"派了几个、有没有抢了本体的位

|口语 · P1 补充示范(课 4 顺带新增话题)

本页是第 4 课板书里顺带过的新 P1 题,示范句按板书照录、缺处补全,供 Rising 套自己的答案。

一、Do you wear a watch?

板书思路:smart watch(智能手表)→ practical(实用)→ 不用掏手机。

Well, actually, I do wear a watch — a smart watch. It's more practical: I don't have to take a look at my phone or reach into my pocket every time I want to know the time.

词块:taking a look at my phone 瞄一眼手机 / reaching my pocket for my phone 掏口袋拿手机。

二、Do you spend a lot of time on social media?

板书思路:makes me forget about the time → 平台举例(TikTok + 微信)→ 内容(消息、梗、斗图)→ it depends(分状态)。

It depends on whether I'm tired or not, to be honest. When I'm bored, social media makes me forget about the time — on platforms like TikTok, and of course WeChat, which is the dominant chatting platform in China, or maybe all around the world. We send messages, memes — you know, emoji battles 斗图!

  • which 非限定性定语从句:WeChat, which is the dominant chatting social platform in China, …
  • it depends on whether…:视情况而定的标准说法
  • 词块:memes 梗 / emoji battle 斗图 / dominant 主导的

三、疲惫/低落时听什么音乐?

板书示范(照录):

When I feel depressed, I play my playlist — and it's a playlist of joy. Low-fi music calms me down; and if I'm really low, I can even dance with the music and sing along, and this boosts my energy.

词块:low-fi music 低保真音乐 / a playlist of joy 快乐歌单 / calm down 平静下来 / boost my energy 给我充电。

四、顺带词块(课 4 散装,都是生活词)

词块意思
stir-fried pork with green pepper青椒炒肉
tang suit唐装(穿出去的名词说法)
depicting a dragon(图案)描绘 / 绣着一条龙
the beauty of nature大自然的美丽
median = 中位数顺带认识,别和 average(平均数)混
rarely很少(频率低端词,对应 really into 的程度差)

五、万能观点句(可整句搬)

Practice is as important as talent. No matter how talented you are, without repetitive practice, you won't be able to do what you think you are able to do.

(练习和天赋一样重要。不管你多有天赋,没有反复练习,你做不到你以为自己能做到的事——练口语、练写作都能用这一句收尾。)注意嵌套:what you think you are able to do = 宾语从句里再套宾语从句。

|素材 · 新闻:美伊谅解备忘录(长句拆解)

标题写法(板书):Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran——between A and B 说明"谁和谁、在什么关系里";and 把两个主体 / 两件事并列起来。这份备忘录写的是美伊之间的谅解(类新闻稿长句,顺带练拆句和"承诺"类表达)。

一、原句(板书照录)

The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion.
The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.

二、拆句表(板书讲解)

片段功能中文
The United States undertakes to create…主干:undertake to do = 承诺去做美国承诺制定…
, together with its regional partners,插入的伴随成分与地区伙伴一道
a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 plan双方一致同意的全面计划
for the rehabilitation and economic development of…for + 名词:目的用于…的重建与经济发展
, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billionwhile + 现在分词:同时确保同时确保至少 3000 亿美元的融资
The implementation mechanism…will be formulated within 60 days第二句主干 + within 时间落实机制将在 60 天内制定

三、词块表(本页积累)

memorandum of understanding (MOU) 谅解备忘录 / undertake to do 承诺做某事 / regional partners 地区伙伴 / agreed upon by both parties 双方商定 / rehabilitation 重建 / economic development 经济发展 / financing 融资 / implementation mechanism 落实机制 / as part of the final agreement 作为最终协议的一部分 / within 60 days 60 天内

四、借去写作 / 口语

  • "政府 / 公司承诺做…"句型:…undertakes to + 动词原形(比 promise 更正式,写作加分)
  • 长句背法:先抓主谓(undertakes to create),再认插入与伴随(together with… / while ensuring…),最后扫介词链(for… / of…)——这和小作文里"主干 + 挂细节"是同一个习惯(见语法页)
  • 时间状语表态:within 60 days(在 60 天内)vs in 60 days(60 天之后)——新闻和商务英语里 within 更常表示"不超过"
