英语流利说懂你英语Level6 Unit1 Part2 Listening Talking about Verbs-2When we talk about experience or results, we use past perfect form.This form uses “have” followed by the participle.For regular verbs, these participle are identical to the past tense form.For irregular verbs, these participle are often different.When we use the perfect form, the primary focus on the subject of the sentence, not the verb. It emphasizes condition, experience or result, rather than actions or events.In these two examples we see the contrast.She has already left hotel.She left the hotel a few minutes ago.The top sentence gives the condition or state of the subject, and the bottom sentence expresses an event.The top sentence describes the condition of the subject of the sentence “she” rather than the event.The fact that she has left the hotel is now part of her experience or state of being.The bottom sentence expresses the action or event, she left, which is something she did.In general, the past tense form expresses events or acts, and the perfect form expresses experience or conditions. When we use the perfect form of the verb, we focus on the state of the subject, and not an action or event.He enjoyed his studies and graduated a few months ago. Now that he had graduated, he’s ready to get a job.Note that the past form expresses the events that are persific points or periods of time, such as the last year or past five years.He worked at several companies. (in the past)He finished the project last week. (in the past, last week)These events are distance from the speaker’s point of view.The perfect form expresses something from the speaker’s point of view, not distance in time. He has worked at several companies. (his experience now)He has finished the project. (his experience now)These two sentences are incorrect and confusing because they give two different points of view. He has worked at the company until last week. (incorrect)He has finished the project last week. (incorrect and confusing)Here are some sentences that use the perfect form.He has finished practicing.He has been practicing.She may have eaten.Her computer may have been stolen.Some are simple, such as the first one, and some are complex, like the last one.The last one is complex because it combines many verb forms, including the passive.He must have taken her computer with him.He have practiced hard, so he should do well in the competition.He took his computer with him because he wants to work at home.He may have taken his computer with him, but I’m not sure if he did or not.He may have been travelling when he got sick.It might have been broken by the accident.He may have been arrested by the police.The fire might have been started by someone.He may have been injur当我们谈论经验或结果时，我们使用过去完成形式。

英语流利说懂你英语Level6 Unit1 Part1 Reading Survival in the OutbackWhat would you do if you ever found yourself lost in the wild? To find out, you can join a weekend survival course in Australia’s Outback Desert. This vast area is famous for its harsh desert climate. To survive, your first task will be to find water, a rare commodity in the desert. Animals such as ants and seed-eating birds are strong indicators of water. You can also cut and suck moisture from the roots and leaves of plants. Trees like the desert oak have roots near the surface. But be careful. The branch es of gum trees are a rich source of water, but the leaves are poisonous, so don’t eat them. The best place to build a shelter is in an area with a least around of sunlight, like between sand dunes or in a trench. To make a trench, dig a hole big enough to lie down in and use the extra sand to create a barrier or wall on each side. This can help to shield you from the glare and scorching heat of the sun. Nights can be cold, so knowing how to make a fire is essential. One way to build a fire is to use the hand drill method. This is one of the oldest and simplest ways to start a fire. It involves rolling a stick between your hands while pressing it onto a notched piece of wood with dry tinder below. The idea is to use friction to create enough heat to ignite the tinder. This can be a lot of work,As for food, you’ll have to be open-minded. Some forms of life can be ugly to look at but can provide you with enough protein to survive. They may even taste good, like scrambled eggs!If you are lost in the desert, your first task will be to find water.如果你发现自己在野外迷路了，你会怎么做？要找到答案，您可以参加澳大利亚内陆沙漠的周末生存课程。
