Making Appointments
SESSION 1
In this session you
* practise the language for asking how to
get to places
* review the language for making offers/
suggestions
to review the language for
making offers/suggestion
1.表达提议
在第3单元中我们学过可以用Would you like
to +动词原形来表达提议。例如,在Extract
1中,我们听到了下面的提议:
Would you like to come to dinner tonight?
Would you like to stay the night?
2.提供建议
在口语中常用以下3种句式表达提议: How
about…? What about…? 和 Why don’t you…?
例如在Extract 1中, 我们听到了下面的建议:
How about seven o’clock? What about
taking a taxi? Why don’t you take the tube?
对问候语How are you?的应答
1)How are you?从字面看是一个问题,询问身
体状况怎么样,但实质上,这是一句问候
语。对他人的问候做出应答后一般会礼貌
地问候对方How are you? 或者And you?
2) 2)应答的方式有多样,下面列出的应答语
是按从最正式到最随意的顺序排列的:
3) 问候 应答
4)How are you? Fine, thank you. How are
you?
5) Fine, thanks. And you?
6) Not too bad, thanks. And
how
7) are you?
8) Ok, thanks. You?
询问花多长时间
1)动词to take,可以表示“花费(时间)”
,
用在“It takes + (时间)+ to do sth” 这
个
句型中或者“sth takes + (时间)”这个
句
型中,表达“某事花费多长时间”。例如:
How long does it take to get to your house
by tube?
It takes about half an hour.
2)动词to take 的否定句和疑问句的构成同其
他实意规则动词一样。例如:
How long does the journey take?
The flight doesn’t take three hours. It takes two.
SESSION 2
In this session you
* practise the language for describing
accommodation
* learn to criticise
表达批评
表达批评性评论常用的句式是“too+形容词
”或者“not+形容词+enough”,这两种句式
意义相近,意为“太……”,“不够……”。
在Extract 5 中你听到过下面的句子:
The kitchen is too dark.
The table is not big enough for two people.
The flat is too expensive. Yes, I agree. It isn’t __________.
The area is too dirty. Yes, I agree. It isn’t ___________.
The bedroom is too small. Yes, I agree. It isn’t ___________.
The table is not big enough. Yes, I agree. It is too _________.
The flat is not quiet enough. Yes, I agree. It is too_________.
The living room is not comfortable enough. Yes, I agree. It is
too ___________.
SESSION 3
In this session you
* learn some typical telephone language
* learn some language for making
appointments
打电话用语
1)接电话
在家里,拿起听筒接电话时常用Hello开
头,相当于汉语中的“喂”。在办公室,
接电话的人通常自报家门,比如单位的
名称,有时还要说出自己的名字。例如:
(Good morning), John Smith.
(Good afternoon), John Smith. Li Ping speaking.
2)打电话
在公务或比较正式的场合,打电话的人
会先介绍自己。例如:
Hello, this is Franco Rossi speaking.
Good afternoon. This is Lin Xiaoyan, I’m
calling about…
在较随意的情况下或跟听话人很熟悉时,可以
这样介绍自己:Hello, Franco(Rossi) here.
3)请人接听电话
Could/Can I speak to Franco Rossi, please?
Is Sally there, please?
4)询问打电话/接电话者
接电话者问打电话的是谁,通常这样说:
Who’s calling, please?
接电话者恰好就是要找的人, 可以这样说:
Is that Polly Williams? Is that you, Mary?
5)接听找人电话时,可以说:
One moment, please.
Sorry, he/she is not in.
Hold on, please.
Sorry, I’m afraid he/she is out.
Sorry, wrong number.
6)留口信
请对方转达口信,可以说:
Could/Can I leave a message, please?
7)记录口信
主动提议为他人记录口信,可以说:
Can I take a message?
Fill in the gaps in the following dialogue.
(填空完成下面的对话。)
Receptionist: Good afternoon, ABHK Bank.
Polly: _______afternoon. _________ speak to
David Manning, please?
Receptionist: Who’s _________, please?
Polly: _____ name _____ Polly Williams.
Receptionist: ______moment, _______, Ms
Williams.

安排约会
1)建议日期:
Are you free on Wednesday?
What about Friday?
2)建议具体时间:
How about 6 o’clock?
Is 6 o’clock okay?
3)表示同意约定的时间、地点:
Yes. Wednesday is fine.
Yes. 6 o’clock is fine.
Yes. That’s okay.
Yes. That’s fine.
4)表示不同意约定的时间、地点:
No, I’m afraid I’m not free.
No, I’m sorry, I’m busy.
注意: I’m afraid. I’m sorry. 常用在否定
的回答中,表示一种委婉的语气。拒绝他
人的邀请或建议时,应在说No的同时用
I’m afraid... I’m sorry...表达歉意和遗憾。
5)确认时间:
Okay, see you at 4 o’clock on Tuesday.
介词
介词通常放在名词或代词前, 以表示位置、
方向、时间、来源、方法等。
1.与地点连用的介词
2. 1)at 常用于具体的地址或地点前。如:
3. I live at 40, Perry Street, Stratford.
4. I’ll meet you at the station.
5. 2)in 常与街道或较大的地区连用;也常与
房间、房屋及公寓连用。如:
6. I live in Perry Street, in London.
7. He’s in the living room.
8. She works in her flat. He’s in the house.
3)on常与楼层连用。如:
I live on the third floor.
2. 表达交通方式的介词
by常与交通工具连用,表示通过某种交通
方式,到达某地。如:
I go to work by tube, but she goes by bicycle.
我乘地铁上班,但是她骑自行车上班。
但是,步行去某地,则用on foot。如:
I go to work on foot. (或 I walk to work.)
3. 与时间连用的介词
1)on 通常与星期或具体某一天的上午,下
午或晚上连用。如:
I have a meeting on Thursday.
I have a meeting on Thursday morning.
2)in 通常与上午,下午或晚上连用(当日期
没有具体说明时)。如:
in the morning
in the afternoon
in the evening
I’ll meet you in the morning.
He is coming in the evening.
3)at 通常与具体的时间或具体某一点时间连
用。如:
I leave at 2 o’clock.
I am busy at lunchtime.
4)from…to…与一段时期连用。如:
I play football from 7 o’clock to 8 o’clock
every Saturday.
5)for 用来表示某事持续的时间。如:
I go running for an hour every day.
注意:在tomorrow, today和yesterday前不用任
何介词。如:Can we meet tomorrow?
I didn’t go to work yesterday.
如果星期或时间前有 last, this 或 next修饰,
则不用任何介词。如:
Will you come with us next Friday?
What are you going to do this afternoon?
1. 在Unit 7中有这样几句话: Can I leave a
2. message? Can I speak to Sally, please?
句子中的Can 是什么意思?
可以把这里的can理解为允许,隐含的意思
是:我想做什么事,请你帮助。这种表达
方式显得比较委婉,有礼貌,与汉语中的
“您”有异曲同工之妙。中文里服务行业
一般会对顾客说 “您”需要什么,“您”
要买什么,用“你”就会显得不礼貌,而
英语中没有您和你的区别,只有一个YOU
,所以它的委婉表达是靠不同的句式来完
成的。Can I do sth 就是这种委婉表达的一
种。如:
Can I have a beef sandwich?
Can I have your telephone number?
Can I ask you a question?
这里的第一句Can I have a beef sandwich?
我可以要一个牛肉三明治吗?其实就相当
于我们说“请给我上一份牛肉三明治”,
Can I have your telephone number? 我可以
留下您的电话号码吗?也是委婉地提出请
求,请告诉我您的电话号码。Can I ask
you a question? 我可以问您一个问题吗?
表达了说话人“我想问一个问题”这个愿
望。
2. Unit 7中出现了take a taxi 和get a taxi 两
种不同的表达方法, 意思上有什么区别吗
?
take a taxi 和get a taxi 都相当于汉语里的
“乘坐出租车”,含义上没有什么大的差
别。
此外,by taxi 这个词组的含义也是乘坐出
租车,但由于这是一个介词短语,所以不
能独立用作句子的谓语。因此我们可以说
Why don’t you go by taxi? 或者
Why don’t you come by taxi?但是不能说
Why don’t you by taxi?
3. Unit 7 Extract 1中有一个词组stay the
4. night ,在这个词组中the night在句子中
5. 担任什么成分?
因为stay 是个不及物动词,所以这里的the
night应看作是句子的时间状语。不过,我
认为遇到像这样的词组,你可以把它当成
一个固定的词组来记。比如我们这个单元
中还学习了下面这几个句子:
How long does the train take? 坐火车要花多
少时间?
How long does the plane take? 坐飞机要花多
少时间?
How long does the bus take?
坐公共汽车要花多少时间?
像这样的结构我们都可以把它们当成固定
的句型去模仿、去记忆。
