Part 1：标识与短信息（升级版）

题型：5 段短文本（告示、短信、邮件、便条），每题三选一，问「它在说什么」。

形式和 KET 一样，但难度明显升级。

升级在哪里

	KET	PET
文本长度	10–20 词	20–40 词
信息量	一个信息点	常有两三个信息，要综合
选项	直白	更接近，需要精细辨析
常考	字面意思	言外之意、说话人的意图

例题

【邮件】
Hi Anna,
I've booked the tennis court for Saturday at 10, but I've just realised I have a dentist appointment then. I could change the court to 2 p.m. — or we could leave it and I'll try to move the dentist. Let me know which you'd prefer.
Max

A Max wants Anna to decide what to do.
B Max has cancelled the tennis court.
C Max is asking Anna to book a different time.

答案：A

解析：

• B 错——他没取消，只是提出两个方案
• C 错——改时间的是他自己（I could change），不是让 Anna 去订
• A 对——Let me know which you'd prefer = 让 Anna 决定

注意这道题的关键在最后一句。 PET 的 Part 1 经常把「真正的意图」放在最后一句，前面都是铺垫。

三个新的解题重点

重点一：抓「意图」，不是抓「事实」

PET 的选项常常这样问：

• The writer wants to apologise for...（道歉）
• The writer is offering to...（提出帮忙）
• The writer is reminding someone to...（提醒）
• The writer is complaining about...（抱怨）
• The writer wants someone to decide...（请对方决定）

做法：读完后问自己一句——「这个人写这段话，是想让对方做什么？」

常见意图词汇：

意图	文本里的信号
道歉	I'm sorry / I'm afraid / Unfortunately
提议	I could... / Shall I... / Would you like me to...
请求	Could you... / Would you mind... / Please
提醒	Don't forget / Remember to / Just to remind you
抱怨	The problem is / I'm not happy about
请对方决定	Let me know / It's up to you / Which would you prefer

重点二：注意「已经做了」和「打算做」的区别

I've booked（已订）vs I could change（可以改，还没改）vs I'll try（会去试）

选项里常把「打算」说成「已经做了」，这是高频陷阱。

重点三：but / however / although 之后是重点

和听力一样，转折之后才是真正想说的。

再练一题

【告示】
SWIMMING POOL
Due to a staff shortage, the pool will close at 6 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. Weekend times are unchanged. We apologise for any inconvenience.

A The pool will be closed all next week.
B The pool will shut earlier on some days.
C The pool has changed its weekend hours.

答案：B。A 说全周关闭——错（只是提前关门）；C 说周末时间变了——原文明说 unchanged。B 的 shut earlier on some days 对应 close at 6 instead of 9, Monday to Thursday。

练习：读你手机里的任何一条英文通知，问自己「发信人想让我做什么」。
