BOOK ONE · LESSON 138

If...

如果……

A picture lesson on conditional sentences with 'if'. Six pictures show different scenarios: if it rains tomorrow (stay home / go to the seaside), if you are ill next week (see a doctor / ask a friend), if you can't make up your mind (retire / travel to England). The lesson introduces written exercises A (answer questions about the Lesson 137 dialogue), B (write 'if' sentences like the example), and C (answer questions with 'if' clauses). The workbook drills 'if' sentence completion and open-ended 'About you' writing; the grammar workbook completes 'if' dialogue items, writes 'if' sentences about the future, and chooses the correct 'if' words.
