跟英女王学地道英语，积累9分写作表达！

　　喜大普奔，武汉已于4月8日解封，我国的疫情防控工作可以说是取得了阶段性的巨大胜利。但是其他国家的疫情却在持续升温，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊在确诊新冠肺炎之后甚至还因病情恶化住进了ICU。英女王伊丽莎白二世在当地时间4月5日晚8点发表全国电视讲话，鼓励英国人民团结抗疫，共度时艰。

　　要知道女王继位68年以来，这是第五次在圣诞节以外的时间发表全国电视讲话。前四次分别是第一次海湾战争、戴安娜王妃逝世、女王母亲逝世和女王继位60周年。可见此次疫情的严重程度非同一般。看了女王饱含深情的演讲，隔着屏幕都深受鼓舞。那纯正优雅的伦敦音，那恰到好处的遣词造句，都是咱小烤鸭们最好的口语和写作范本啊，而且是9分！！9分！！毕竟也没有考官敢不给女王9分吧…小本本拿出来，边看视频边跟女王一起学纯正英语表达，跟Chinglish say goodbye.
