修改原因
修改前Can you include the TV? The match starts in five minutes.
修改后Can you turn on the TV? The match starts in five minutes.
Include 表示把某物纳入一组或一个清单:include a name in the list。它不表示让设备开始工作。打开设备或灯用 turn on 或 switch on,打开水龙头则用 turn on。
用于设备时,turn on 和 switch on 意思非常接近,例如 switch on the kettle。水龙头通常说 turn on the tap,不说 switch on。关闭时使用对应的 turn off 或 switch off。
动手练习
Our dog had always been calm and friendly, so nobody expected it to ___ the postman.

turn on — 这只狗一向温顺,没有人预料到它会攻击邮递员,所以选 turn on。Turn to 可以表示转身面向某人,或向某人求助,不符合这里突然攻击的意思。
