#我們一起學英語#
這一講，我們學習美國英語日常語法視聽說寫第36課，should, ought to, had better， ，以獲得第一語感。
接下來請逐詞逐句記錄英文原稿，最好能夠做到聽寫，然後跟讀，注意重讀元音、停頓和語氣語調。下面的文稿僅供參考：
L:Here is a letter we got from a grammar fan:
Dear Everyday Grammar,
You should talk more about modals.
You ought to know that certain modals are difficult for English learners to understand.
So unless you want to lose a grammar fan, you had better start teaching more about modals.
K:Wow! That was a strongly worded letter.
But the fan did bring up some important modals: SHOULD, OUGHT TO, HAD BETTER.
L:Using the letter as an example: "SHOULD" was used to give a suggestion or friendly advice.
You should talk more about modals.
K:OUGHT TO is for giving advice. It has a similar meaning to "should" but it's not used as often.
L:You ought to know that certain modals are difficult for English learners to understand.
K:OUGHT TO does not have a question or past tense form in everyday American English.
L:HAD BETTER is stronger than "should" or "ought to."
It really means "You should…or else.""HAD BETTER" suggests that something bad will happen if you don't follow the advice.
In other words, it's a threat.
…unless you want to lose a grammar fan, you had better start teaching more about modals.
K:Yes, that does sound a bit harsh, but "HAD BETTER" is not always impolite.
It can express a sense of urgency. For example,
You had better run, the plane is about to leave!
Keep in mind that "HAD BETTER" has no past tense or question form.
最後就是背誦默寫，沒必要做到一詞不差，但你得積累用英語表達“should, ought to, had better”這個話題，也就是這段話的要點，歸納如下：
1."SHOULD" was used to give a suggestion or friendly advice. You should talk more about modals.
2.OUGHT TO is for giving advice. It has a similar meaning to "should" but it's not used as often.
You ought to know that certain modals are difficult for English learners to understand.
OUGHT TO does not have a question or past tense form in everyday American English.
3."HAD BETTER" suggests that something bad will happen if you don't follow the advice.
In other words, it's a threat.
…unless you want to lose a grammar fan, you had better start teaching more about modals.
4. "HAD BETTER" is not always impolite. It can express a sense of urgency. For example,
You had better run, the plane is about to leave! Keep in mind that "HAD BETTER" has no past tense or question form.
