Key points 重点提醒 · 教学提示

  • 网购遇到问题,一开始先说「客服,你好」,再直接说清楚哪里有问题。
  • 「订单编号」是每一笔订单的号码。找客服时先给这个号码,他们才能查到你买的东西。
  • 报号码时,数字一个一个念,台湾报号码时「一」读 yāo。
  • 网购的东西有问题,客服常常会请你拍【照片】给他们看。
  • 「申请」是向对方正式提出要求,「申请退款」就是请他们把钱退给你。
  • 退款不会马上到,客服通常会告诉你大概几天内会退。
  • 订单还没寄出才可以取消;已经寄出的东西,只能收到以后再退货。
🧑‍🏫 Teacher guide 教学引导
  • 先整段播放,学生只听、不看拼音;再播放一次,对照拼音和英文。(约2分钟)
  • 老师当客服、学生当马克,分角色朗读,然后互换角色。(约3分钟)
  • 重点句:「我收到的耳机坏了。」「我想退货。可以申请退款吗?」「我想取消。」请学生反复练习。
  • 提醒:网购遇到问题,先说订单编号、再说哪里有问题、最后附上照片,客服最容易帮你处理。
  • 时间不够时,只练第一、第五、第七、第九句。

Mark likes shopping online. Last week he ordered a pair of earphones for five hundred.

mǎ马kè克xǐ喜huān欢wǎng网gòu购, shàng上gè个xīng星qī期tā他dìng订le了yí一gè个wǔ五bǎi百kuài块de的ěr耳jī机。 

Yesterday he received the package and happily opened the box.

zuó昨tiān天tā他shōu收dào到le了bāo包guǒ裹, hěn很gāo高xìng兴dì地dǎ打kāi开hé盒zi子。 

But as soon as he put them on, he found the left side had no sound. The earphones were broken.

kě可shì是tā他yí一dài戴shàng上ěr耳jī机, jiù就fā发xiàn现zuǒ左biān边méi没yǒu有shēng声yīn音, ěr耳jī机huài坏le了。 

So he took a photo, then opened his phone and found customer service.

suǒ所yǐ以tā他pāi拍le了yì一zhāng张zhào照piàn片, rán然hòu后dǎ打kāi开shǒu手jī机, zhǎo找dào到kè客fú服。 

Customer service first asked for the order number, and Mark wrote it down quickly.

kè客fú服xiān先qǐng请tā他gěi给dìng订dān单biān编hào号, mǎ马kè克hěn很kuài快jiù就xiě写hǎo好le了。 

Next, he sent the photo to customer service, who looked at it and said the earphones really were broken.

jiē接zhe着, tā他bǎ把zhào照piàn片chuán传gěi给kè客fú服, kè客fú服kàn看le了yǐ以hòu后shuō说, ěr耳jī机zhēn真de的huài坏le了。 

Customer service asked whether he wanted to return them or exchange them for new ones. Mark said he wanted to return them and also apply for a refund.

kè客fú服wèn问tā他xiǎng想tuì退huò货hái还shi是huàn换xīn新de的, mǎ马kè克shuō说tā他xiǎng想tuì退huò货, yě也xiǎng想shēn申qǐng请tuì退kuǎn款。 

Customer service applied for it right away, and as a result the five hundred would be refunded to him within three days.

kè客fú服mǎ马shàng上bāng帮tā他shēn申qǐng请, jié结guǒ果wǔ五bǎi百kuài块huì会zài在sān三tiān天nèi内tuì退gěi给tā他。 

Mark then remembered that his other order had not shipped yet. He did not want it anymore, so he asked customer service to cancel it.

mǎ马kè克yòu又xiǎng想qǐ起, lìng另yí一gè个dìng订dān单hái还méi没jì寄chū出, tā他bù不xiǎng想yào要le了, jiù就qǐng请kè客fú服qǔ取xiāo消。 

Customer service cancelled it quickly. Mark felt that when something goes wrong with online shopping, it is fine as long as you explain it clearly to customer service.

kè客fú服hěn很kuài快jiù就qǔ取xiāo消le了, mǎ马kè克jué觉de得, wǎng网gòu购yù遇dào到wèn问tí题, zhǎo找kè客fú服shuō说qīng清chǔ楚jiù就hǎo好le了。

Key points 重点提醒 · 教学提示

  • 「我想+动词」用来客气地说出自己想做的事,比「我要」柔和。动词换一换,到哪里都能用:我想取消、我想退货、我想学游泳、我想喝水。
  • 「了」放在句尾,表示事情已经发生或有了变化;「还没+动词」表示事情到现在还没发生。这两个句型可以搭配:东西坏了、还没寄出、还没吃饭、已经到了。
🧑‍🏫 Teacher guide 教学引导
  • 本页两个重点:「我想+动词」说出想做的事;「……了/还没……」说明事情已经发生,或还没发生。
  • 先教「我想」:老师说一个动词,学生接着说「我想……」,换成取消、退货、学游泳、喝水各练一次。
  • 「了」和「还没」可以让学生配对练习:我收到了/我还没收到;我吃了/我还没吃。
  • 可以请学生用生活里的情境造句,例如:我想学中文。我还没吃饭。
