【基础英语BOOK2__unit6_we_have_been_hit】In this unit, we explore a powerful and meaningful sentence: “We have been hit.” This phrase may seem simple at first, but it carries deep emotional and situational weight. It can refer to both physical and emotional experiences, making it a versatile expression in English.
The structure of the sentence uses the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to describe actions that started in the past and are still happening or have just finished. In this case, “have been hit” suggests that the action of being hit has occurred and may still be affecting the speaker.
This unit introduces students to the use of this tense in different contexts. For example, someone might say, “We have been hit by a strong storm,” meaning that the storm affected them recently and possibly continues to do so. Another person could say, “We have been hit by bad news,” indicating that they received some difficult information and are dealing with its consequences.
Understanding how to use this sentence correctly helps learners express their experiences more clearly. It also encourages them to think about how language reflects real-life situations. Through reading, listening, and speaking exercises, students will practice using this sentence in various scenarios.
Additionally, the unit includes vocabulary related to sudden events, challenges, and reactions. Words like “attack,” “problem,” “shock,” and “impact” are explored to help students build a richer understanding of the context in which “We have been hit” is used.
By the end of this unit, students should be able to recognize the structure of the sentence, understand its meaning in different situations, and use it confidently in conversation and writing. This not only improves their grammar skills but also enhances their ability to communicate effectively in real-world settings.
Overall, Unit 6 offers a valuable opportunity for learners to deepen their comprehension of English tenses and expressions while connecting them to everyday experiences.
