女儿Zoe的答案是:“If I were to plan a birthday I would plan it for my mother. Instead of a cake I would make cupcakes.” (假如我要安排一个生日,我会为我妈妈而安排。我会做杯形蛋糕,而不是去买蛋糕。)
老师则把答案改成“未来式”:“If I am to plan a birthday, I will plan it for my mother. Instead of getting a cake, I will make cupcakes.”
网民Steve Frazier建议,题目应该改成“"If you were celebrating a family member's birthday, how would you plan to celebrate it?" 或 "If you are celebrating a family member's birthday, how are you planning to celebrate it.?"
