1. can表示一般性的请求，语气随便，常用于熟人之间或长辈对晚辈、上级对下级的场合。
☞ Can you tell us your story, Tony? 你能给我们讲讲你的故事吗，托尼？

单元写作小专题
【单元话题分析】
本单元以＂家务、杂务＂为话题，围绕这一话题，引导学生学习掌握情态动词could表示委婉地请求
以及请求许可的用法。以谈论家务以及对家务喜欢与不喜欢的原因和理由为话题的作文或是请求他人帮
忙的电子邮件之类的书面表达是单元测试或中考所常考查的。

【答案】例文：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I think that teenagers like me should help their parents with housework.
First, doing housework makes us independent. We can’t depend on our parents all the time. So we should
learn how to take care of ourselves now. Second, doing housework is a kind of physical exercise. It helps us stay
healthy and strong. Third, since we live in a house with our parents, it’s fair for us to work together and make the
house clean and comfortable.
In my opinion, doing housework helps us learn life skills and understand the idea of fairness. So I thinkteenagers should learn to enjoy doing chores with their parents.
Yours,
Li Hua
