Passage 1请参考C8P167范文, Passage 2请参考C5P165范文

提示：中国学生最常出现的语法错误有两种：

1. 把客观事实(该用现在时)，写成一般将来时(will). 之所以会出现这样的错误，是因为中文中有一个字"会"，受中国式英语影响的同学就会把这个字对应的意思在英文中写成will，但实际上这些意思跟将来无关。

2. 把主观推测写成客观事实。很多时候，我们表达的意思只是自己的主观看法，比如

Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment.

may end up;不要直接写成 end up, 更不要写成will end up, 如果写成了end up， 这就成了客观事实。will end up 就成了将来的事情。

Persuading manufacturers and travellers to adopt this new technology would be a more effective strategy for improving air quality, especially in cities.

同理：would be不能写成is 或者will be。

在表达主观推测的时候，我们通常在谓语中加上:

may; could; can; might 等等词汇；

其次： is likely to; is less likely to等等也可以让句子变得没那么主观。
