洪恩環(huán)境英語(yǔ)第八冊(cè)練習(xí) lesson five
Welcome to Lesson Five.
Listen to Connie as she tells us about some things she's never done
and some other things that she has done in her life.
I'm thirty-three years old.I've never been married.
Work has always been the most important thing...
Is it worth it?Sure.There are things I've done that Steven hasn't done.
I've traveled around the world as a reporter.
I've visited fifty countries.That's exciting too.
Connie is thirty-three years old.
That's not very young,but it's also not very old.
There are many things that she has already done,
but there are some things Connie has never done.
Now,when you hear...
Visit fifty countries. You say...
She's already visited fifty countries.
When you hear... Not be married.
You say...
She's never been married.All right,Let's begin.
Visit fifty countries.She's already visited fifty countries.
Not be married. She's never been married.
Go to already gone to China three times.
She already gone to China three times.

She's never seen the Great Wall.
Not visit India.

Be invited to the White House.
She' already been invited to the White House.
Not meet the President of the United States.
She's never met the President of the United States.
Now listen to this conversation.
Notice what the man and woman say they have and haven't done.
Oh,come on.You mean you've been to China three times,
and you've never seen the Great Wall?
It's true.I've haven't seen it yet.But I will .someday.
And you've been invited to the White House three times,
but you've never met the President?
I haven't me him yet.But I will.I have a long life ahead of me.
When hte man says,"You've never seen the Great Wall?"
and"You've never met the President?"
he's expressing surprise that the woman's never done these things.
But when she says,"I haven't seen it yet,"
or"I haven't met him yet,"she means that there is still time.
She might do these things in the future.She says...
I have a long life ahead of me.
Now,when you hear....
You've never been married?
You say... I haven't never been yet.
When you hear...
You've never met the President of the United States?
You say... I haven't met him yet.
OK?Let's begin.

Now listen to this conversation between Connie and Mike.
Have you heard from Steven?
He's still waiting.Poor Steven.He stayed up all night last night.
He's on pins and needles.
He must be tired today.And he must be worried.Is Anne OK?
She's fine.She has pains this morning.She must be ready to have the baby.
Now listen and repeat.
Must be tired he must be tired
He must be tired today.
must be be worried he must be worried
And he must be worried.
must be ready she must be ready
She must be ready to have the baby.
When we say that someone must be something,
like must be tired or must be worried,
we are talking about an assumption that we are almost certain is true.
Now,when you hear a statement using almost certain,say the same thing using must.
For example,you hear... I'm almost certain Steven is tired.
And you say... He must be tired.
You hear.. I'm almost certain Steven and Anne are worried.
And you say... They must be worried
All right,let's begin.
I'm almost certain Steven is tired.
He must be tired.
I'm almost certain Steven and Anne are worried.
They must be worried.
I'm almost certain Steven is nervous.
He must be nervous.
I'm almost certain Jake's story is good.

She must have an interesting job.
I'm almost certain Mike and Jake are hungry.
They must be hungry.
I'm almost certain Maria is having a great time on her vacation.
She must be having a great time on her vacation.
Don't forget that you can also use must be
with a verb that ends in-ing
to show that you are almost certain something is happening.
For example,I saw Connie going into that restaurant at noon.
That was 15 minutes ago.She must be having lunch.
Now this time,you'll hear a situation and you say what must be happening.
For example,You hear... Jake is very tired.
He's been sitting in a comfortable chair with his eyes closed
for a long time.
And you say... He must be sleeping.
You hear.... Maria is on vacation.
She's been doing a lot of skiing
and eating in nice restaurants with Sam Finch.
And you say... She must be having a good time.
OK,ready?Let's begin.Jake is very tired.

for a long time.

The doctor to Connie's office is closed,
and I can hear the sound of her typewriter.

Rita went out today wearing her tennis racket.I wonder what she's doing.
She must be playing tennis.
The waitress in the restaurant served Maria and Sam their food.
That was ten minutes agao.But they're not eating;
they're talking and looking at each other.
What's happening to their hot food?
It must be getting cold.
Now listen to Connie and Mike again.
This time they're talking about Steven.
So Steven won't be able to come in today.
That's OK.I have the schedules and the scripts.

Now you're going to listen to some sentences.
Change each sentence by adding a form of be able to after will or won't,
might or might not.For example,you hear....
Steven won't come to work tomorrow.And you say...
