In 2018 I will open my home to a different type of family: the leaders of the fifty-two nations of the Commonwealth, as they gather in the UK for a summit. The Commonwealth has an inspiring way of bringing people together, be it through the Commonwealth Games — which begin in a few months'time on Australia's Gold Coast — or through bodies like the Commonwealth Youth Orchestra & Choir: a reminder of how truly vibrant this international family is.
2018年，我将敞开家门迎接一群特殊的家人：52个联邦国的首脑将前来英国参加峰会。英联邦总是以一种鼓舞人心的方式将人们聚在一起，无论是像几个月后将在澳大利亚黄金海岸举行的联邦国运动会，还是像英联邦青年管弦乐团和合唱团这样的团体，这些都提醒着我们，这个国际大家庭是多么具有生机与活力。
【语法——be it无论】句中的be it是一种表示让步的虚拟倒装结构，由be 引起的倒装句表示让步，be it = whether it + be =
no matter if/whether的具体时态形式相当于一个让步状语从句。Be it 句式带有虚拟语气的结构特点，即 be 用原形，但表示的不是假设，而是语气的加强。主语可以是it，也可以是其他人称。它既可位于句首，也可位于句末或穿插句中。这是一种现在使用频率较低且略带文学意味的习惯用法，出现于正式的书面语中。

劝大龄单身可以这样说：你要想结婚别太挑，抓住遇到的每一个，管他是穷是挫。
You should not nitpick potential men on the first acquaintance, behe poor or ugly.
大龄单身反驳可以这样说：结婚了也可能离婚，别管老公是丑是帅。
Spouses may still end up with divorce, be husband ugly or handsome.
Today we celebrate Christmas, which itself is sometimes described as a festival of the home. Families travel long distances to be together.Volunteers and charities, as well as many churches, arrange meals for the homeless and those who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day.
We remember the birth of Jesus Christ whose only sanctuary was a stable in Bethlehem. He knew rejection, hardship and persecution; and yet it is Jesus Christ's generous love and example which has inspired me through good times and bad.
【雅思写作——句式和例证】句中rejection, hardship
and persecution 三个抽象名词并列，程度逐渐加深。
He knew rejection, hardship and persecution. 他遭受过排挤，经历过苦难与迫害。这句话用逗号分隔，前后两部分对仗工整：音节数相同，重音节奏也相似，两部分都以元音开头he和Har、辅音结尾-tion。
inspired me through good times and bad.激励着我走过人生的起起落落。一句很经典的常见搭配，可以背下来。其他例子有查尔斯狄更斯的小说《艰难岁月Hard times》，还有《双城记》的著名开头：It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 这是最坏的时代，也是最好的时代。
Whatever your own experiences this year; wherever and however youare watching, I wish you a peaceful and very happy Christmas.
【让步状语从句】whatever= no matter what；wherever=no matter where，however不是表转折的“但是”，是no matter how；表示“不论、尽管”。不论今年经历如何，不论身处何方，不论用什么方法观看。
