Hi, Andy! Don't worry too much. I used to have the same feeling as you.
foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, "If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the cafe
at 7 o'clock." Is she saying "yes" or "no" to his invitation?
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure (表示条件的句式). By using the conditional,
speakers of English can avoid (避免) giving a "yes" or "no" answer to a question. It enables people to be
diplomatic(婉转的). If the girl doesn't want to go out with the boy, she won't appear at the cafe. She will let him
understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to catch,
she has achieved (达到) that with her reply. Here she uses the first conditional which shows probability, it seems
that she will go to the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
The conditional is often used by people like politicians (政客), for example--who wish to avoid speaking out
their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away
his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, "If we
could pay you more, we would." The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker
is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
"If " is a small word, which often appears in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech
and conditionals such as the First—probability—if I can come to your party, I will; the Second—improbability—
if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the Third—impossibility (meaning it is too late to change
something that has happened)—if you have told me, I would have helped you.
B. quicker
C. more polite
D. more exciting
B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
D. The word "if" can show different meanings.
B. I won't go with you until it rains tomorrow.
C. I may go with you tomorrow.
D. I won't go with you tomorrow.
B. the spokesman doesn't give any promise (答应)
C. the spokesman keeps his word (食言)
D. the workers' problems aren't difficult
B. how to invite a girl in Britain
C. British people and their life
D. some language points in daily English

Foolish(silly) Freddie lived in a small village. The people of the village laughed at him. They liked to show visitors how silly Freddie was. They thought this was a funny thing to do.
One day, a visitor came to the village.
"Watch this", a villager said, and called to Freddie. "Come and play a game, Freddie, " he shouted. Freddie walked slowly towards him, a silly smile on his face.
"Look! Freddie, "the villager said, "I’ve got something for you." He showed Freddie a dollar coin and a much larger 50-cent coin."Which would you like?" he asked Freddie.
Freddie took the 50-cent coin at once.
The villager laughed."See how foolish he is," he said."He always does that. He’s too silly to learn anything." He walked away, leaving Freddie with the visitor.
The visitor felt sorry for Freddie and said to him, "Although the 50-cent coin is bigger than the＄1 coin, the＄1 coin is worth(值) much more.Two times as much."
"I know that," Freddie said."But once I take the＄1coin, they’ll stop playing the game."
