PET 单元 2 · Home & Daily Life

这个单元有 5 章:主题课文"我家的家务大战"、词汇延展(家务动词 + 家居设施词族)、语法延展(频度副词深化 + 被动语态入门)、功能句型(描述日常作息与分配家务)、PET 考点与自测。

学完你能:用 50+ 家务动词(tidy up / take out / load / mop)描述谁干什么活;把"妈妈每天做饭"升级成"每天晚饭都由妈妈做"这种被动句;用 always/often/rarely/never 四个频度词精准刻画你的作息。

预计时间:1 周。

衔接说明:KET 里你学过简单的日常动词和 usually/always。本单元把这些词从"够用"升级到"精准",并第一次引入被动语态——这是 FCE 写作和阅读的高频语法,早入门早轻松。

家居单元 = 家务动词 + 频度副词 + 被动入门。课文带你看 16 岁的 Leo 怎么和弟弟分配家务,以及"晚饭永远是妈妈做"这件事怎么被他写成一封给朋友的 Email。

主题课文 · 我家的家务大战

The Great Chore War at Home
原创课文,主角还是 16 岁的 Leo。PET 写作 Part 1 Email 常考"给朋友写信谈谈你家的日常生活"。注意课文里加粗的频度副词和被动句(is cooked / are cleaned)——第 3 章逐个拆。

课文 · A Normal Week at Our House

People always ask me what a normal week at our house is like. Well, it usually starts with a small war on Sunday morning. Everyone in my family has to do chores, but nobody likes doing them. My mum cooks dinner every day — in fact, dinner is always cooked by her, and nobody is allowed to enter the kitchen while she is cooking. My dad takes out the rubbish and washes the car twice a week. My younger brother, Tom, is supposed to tidy his own room, but it is hardly ever tidied. I usually load the dishwasher and I sometimes mop the floor. I rarely complain, because I have learnt that if I do my chores quickly, I can watch TV in peace. Last week, however, the rubbish wasn't taken out for three days, and Dad was furious. Now a chore list is stuck on the fridge, and each job is checked off every evening. We haven't had a fight since the list appeared — it seems that a bit of organisation is the secret to a happy home.
总有人问我,我们家平常的一周是什么样。嗯,通常从周日早上的一场小战争开始。我们家每个人都得做家务,但没人喜欢做。我妈妈每天做饭——事实上晚饭永远是她做的,她做饭的时候谁也不准进厨房。我爸爸倒垃圾,每周洗两次车。我弟弟 Tom 应该收拾自己的房间,但那房间几乎从来没干净过。我通常洗碗碟机,偶尔拖地板。我很少抱怨,因为我明白了:家务做得快,就能安安静静看电视。不过上周,垃圾三天没倒,爸爸气坏了。现在冰箱上贴了一张家务清单,每晚打勾。自从清单贴出来,我们再也没吵过——看来一点点条理就是幸福家庭的秘诀。
本课核心词:chore, rubbish, dishwasher, mop, tidy up, be supposed to, be allowed to, furious, organisation, always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, hardly ever, never

课文精讲 · B1 版"日常作息"四步

论从"我每天上学"到"我家的一周"

KET 版:I get up at seven. I go to school. I watch TV.——三句流水账,没有信息密度。

PET 版:① 谁干什么(Mum cooks dinner / Dad takes out the rubbish);② 用频度副词量化(every day / twice a week / hardly ever / rarely);③ 被动句换个说法(dinner is cooked by her);④ 一件小插曲收尾(Last week the rubbish wasn't taken out...)。

考试怎么考:PET 写作 Email "write about your home life to a friend",口语 Part 1 "Tell me about a typical day"。四步一走,100 词 Email 自然成型,还踩中被动和频度副词两个评分点。

记
这一章要记住的 5 个搭配

① do chores 做家务(do the chores / do the washing-up)

② take out the rubbish 倒垃圾(英式 rubbish,美式 trash)

③ be supposed to do 应该做(Tom is supposed to tidy his room)

④ be allowed to do 被允许做(Nobody is allowed to enter the kitchen)

⑤ stick on the fridge 贴在冰箱上(a list is stuck on the fridge)

02

词汇延展 · 家务动词族与家居设施

Chores & Household Items
KET 阶段你只会 wash/clean/iron 三个笼统动词。PET 要把家务做细:洗碗碟机、扫地、拖地、叠衣服、倒垃圾——每个动作有自己的动词。再配上家居设施词,阅读听力里的厨房场景就全通了。

家务动词 · 按房间分组

(可参看「家务家居」深化页)
PET 高频家务动词
房间核心动词短语备注
厨房cook dinner, do the washing-up, load/unload the dishwasher, wipe the worktop, take out the rubbishwashing-up 英式"洗碗"
客厅tidy up, hoover/vacuum the carpet, dust the shelves, mop the floor, put things awayhoover 英式,vacuum 美式
卧室make the bed, fold the clothes, hang up the washing, change the sheetsmake the bed 铺床
室外/车wash the car, cut the grass, water the plants, hang out the washinghang out 晾衣服

家居设施词族

家居设施(PET 听力高频)
英文中文常考搭配
dishwasher洗碗机load the dishwasher
fridge / refrigerator冰箱put it in the fridge
cooker / stove灶台electric cooker 电磁炉
furniture家具(不可数)a piece of furniture
curtain / blind窗帘 / 百叶帘open the curtains
neighbour邻居next-door neighbour
高频陷阱

① furniture 不可数:不说 "a furniture / furnitures",要说 "a piece of furniture" / "some furniture"。

② housework vs homework:housework 家务(不可数);homework 作业。别混。

③ do the washing-up vs wash the dishes:一个意思,英式前者美式后者,两个都要认。

④ make the bed 不是"造床":是"铺床"——起床后把被子叠好。

03

语法延展 · 频度副词深化 + 被动语态入门

Adverbs of Frequency & Passive
两块硬骨头:频度副词要从"知道"升级到"放对位置";被动语态是 PET 全新语法,也是 FCE 的命门。先把这两块啃下来,阅读完形的分数直接上一个台阶。

频度副词 · 从 always 到 never 的梯度

频度副词(按频率从高到低)
副词频率位置规则与例句
always100%be 动词后、实义动词前:She is always late. / She always arrives late.
usually80%I usually load the dishwasher.
often60%We often eat out.
sometimes40%可放句首:Sometimes I mop the floor.
rarely / hardly ever10%否定意味:I rarely complain.
never0%本身否定,动词用肯定:I never complain.
位置陷阱

① be 动词后:Dinner is always cooked by her.(不是 always is)

② 实义动词前:I usually load the dishwasher.(不是 load usually)

③ never 本身否定:不说 "I don't never complain"——双重否定错。

被动语态入门 · am/is/are + 过去分词

(可参看「现在时被动」深化页)
一般现在时被动
主动被动为什么用被动
Mum cooks dinner every day.Dinner is cooked (by Mum) every day.强调晚饭,不强调谁做
Nobody tidies Tom's room.Tom's room is hardly ever tidied.不知道/不说谁干
We don't allow anyone in the kitchen.Nobody is allowed to enter the kitchen.规章制度常用被动
We stick a list on the fridge.A list is stuck on the fridge.强调清单本身
被动四步走

① 宾语提前:Dinner(原本宾语)变主语。

② 动词变 am/is/are + p.p.:cook → is cooked。

③ 原主语用 by 引出(可省略):by Mum——不说谁时直接删掉。

④ 时态跟着走:现在时被动 is/are done;过去时被动 was/were done(Last week the rubbish wasn't taken out)。

功能句型 · 描述作息与分配家务

Daily Routine & Sharing Chores
PET 口语 Part 1 "a typical day"、Part 3 "讨论怎么分配家务"、写作 Email "写信给朋友介绍你的家"。三套模板 + 考场对话。

三套句型模板

描述日常作息
I usually get up at seven, and I sometimes skip breakfast if I'm in a hurry.
On weekdays, I always leave home at eight.
I hardly ever go to bed before midnight.
我通常七点起床,赶时间的话偶尔不吃早饭。/工作日我总是八点出门。/我几乎从不十二点前睡。
考点:频度副词 + 时间状语(on weekdays / on weekends / in a hurry)——口语 Part 1 介绍一天的标准节奏。
分配家务(提出要求与建议)
Could you take out the rubbish, please?
It's your turn to load the dishwasher.
Why don't we make a chore list on the fridge?
麻烦你倒一下垃圾好吗?/该你洗碗了。/我们在冰箱上贴个家务清单怎么样?
考点:Could you...? / It's your turn to... / Why don't we...?——Part 3 和搭档讨论"怎么分工"的实用句。
抱怨与商量
I'm fed up with doing all the cooking!
That's not fair — I tidy up every day.
OK, if I cook, will you wash up?
我天天做饭快烦死了!/这不公平——我每天都收拾。/行,我做饭的话你洗碗好吗?
考点:be fed up with / That's not fair / if...will you——表达不满 + 讨价还价,Email 和口语 Part 4 高分句。

场景对话 · 口语 Part 3 搭档讨论

Examiner: Your family shares the housework. Talk together about who should do which chores.
Student A: In my house, my mum always cooks dinner. What about yours?
Student B: My mum cooks too, but my dad is supposed to wash the car twice a week. What do you do?
Student A: I usually load the dishwasher, and I sometimes mop the floor. But my brother hardly ever tidies his room.
Student B: That's not fair! Why don't you make a chore list like ours?
Student A: Good idea. If we stick it on the fridge, everybody will see it.
Student B: Exactly. And we can check off each job every evening.
考官:你们家分担家务。一起聊聊谁该干什么活。/A:在我家,晚饭永远是我妈做。你家呢?/B:我妈也做饭,但我爸应该每周洗两次车。你干什么?/A:我通常洗碗碟机,偶尔拖地板。但我弟弟几乎从不收拾房间。/B:这不公平!你们怎么不学我们贴张家务清单?/A:好主意。贴冰箱上,大家都能看见。/B:没错。我们每晚还能打勾。
得分点:① 用了 be supposed to / hardly ever / be fair / if...will 全套;② 互动(What about yours? / Good idea. / Exactly),不是独白;③ 自然带出被动(is supposed to)和频度副词。

自评:错 2 题以上,回第 3 章重练频度副词位置和被动四步走。

FCE 衔接 · 同一话题的两级进阶

论PET 家居 → FCE 家居,难度怎么长

语法加码:PET 只学现在时和过去时被动;FCE 要求现在完成时被动(has been done)、将来时被动(will be done)、情态被动(must be done),以及被动的语体功能(新闻、报告)。

词汇升级:PET 会说 chores;FCE 要会说 household budget、commute、work-life balance、flatshare 这类抽象词。

写作升级:PET 写 100 词 Email;FCE 可能要求写一篇"报告",分析城市里人们的居住方式变化,被动语态和客观语体是拿高分的关键。

现在就做:把被动四步走练到条件反射,下一站是 PET Unit 3(Free Time & Entertainment),我们学短语动词和 as...as 比较结构。
