讲述生平
能讲述一个人的生平——自己的或别人的——并说出年份。
标注的核心时长。核心模块中有两项未标注时长，因此实际课时比总和更长。
语法
4 分钟讲生平用一般过去时：所有的事都已经结束，而且都和具体的时间联系在一起。
| He was born in 1965 in a small town. | |
| He studied medicine and became a doctor. | |
| In 1990 he moved to London, where he worked for ten years. | |
| He died in 2018. |
生平里只有讲还在世的人时才会用现在完成时——因为和现在有联系：
| She has written four books. | 她还在世，还可能再写。 |
| He wrote four books. | 他已经去世，数字不会再变。 |
年份两位两位地读，但有例外：
| 1965 | nineteen sixty-five |
| 1995 | nineteen ninety-five |
| 2000 | two thousand |
| 2005 | two thousand and five |
| 2015 | twenty fifteen（或 two thousand and fifteen） |
表示先后顺序的词： at the age of、two years later、after that、 from 1990 to 2000、until、during。
中文母语者的常见错误
已针对你的语言编写年份一个数字一个数字地读。
✗ one nine six five
✓ nineteen sixty-five
。汉语说“一九六五年”，英语却把年份分成前后两半，每一半当作一个两位数来读。
漏掉 was。
✗ He born in 1938
✓ He was born in 1938
（第19课）。 “他1938年出生”里没有“被”，所以 was 最容易丢，而生平的第一句就要用到它。
说出了年份，动词却不用一般过去时。
✗ In 1962 he move to Shanghai、✗ He has moved to London in 1990 → ✓ moved。汉语有了“1962年”，动词就不用变，有时还加个“过”；英语说出了时间就只能用一般过去时（第20课）。
年份、日期、年龄前都用同一个介词。
汉语都说“在”：“在1990年”“在5月3日”“在15岁时”。英语年份用 in，日期用 on，年龄用 at：✗ on 1990、✗ in the third of May → ✓ in 1990、✓ on the third of May 1990、✓ at the age of fifteen。
发音
3 分钟年份要连起来读，分成两个重读的部分： nineteen sixty-five。两部分之间一停顿，听起来就不像一个数了。
2000 读 two thousand，2015 读 twenty fifteen。2010 年以后两种读法都可以，但口语里短的那种更常用。

写作
用六句话写一位家人的生平，其中要有四个年份。
范例： My grandfather was born in 1938. He left school at the age of fifteen. In 1962 he moved to Shanghai, where he met my grandmother. They got married two years later. He worked as an engineer until 1998. In 2005 they bought a house near the sea.
检查清单：所有的事都用了一般过去时吗？年份是两位两位地读的吗？现在完成时只用在还在世的人身上吗？
