If he does not work hard, he will fail his exams.
如果他不努力，考试就要不及格了。

二、If从句的时态
1. e.g. If he runs, he’ll get there in time.
如果他跑着去，他就会及时赶到那儿。
if从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时。
2. e.g. She may come with us if she arrives in time.
如果她来得及时，就可以和我们一道去。
if从句用一般现在时，主句用情态动词+动词原形。
三、if 引导的条件状语从句位置灵活，可直接放在主句后面，也可以放在句首。放在句首时，从句后面要用逗号和主句隔开。
e.g. I’ll go to see you if I have time.
如果有时间，我就去看你。
If it rains tomorrow, we’ll stay at home.
如果明天下雨，我们就待在家里。
四、同义句转换
用“祈使句 ＋ and / or ＋ 一般将来时的句子”转换。
e.g. If you work hard, you’ll pass the exam easily.
→ Work hard, and you’ll pass the exam easily.
努力学习，你将很容易通过考试。

Advice columns
Advice columns have been used since the eighteenth century. In the past, advice columns could mainly be found in magazines or newspapers. Readers could send letters to the columnist to get expert advice. Nowadays, websites and blogs online are much more popular.
People can post their questions or problems online and get answers quickly. Anyone can start an advice blog about any topic, like travel, lifestyle, money, health, relationships or parenting. Most of the time, people will not reveal their names, and will use special email addresses. This makes advice blogs very popular, as the persons seeking advice can ask embarrassing or difficult questions without revealing their identity.
