Key points 重点提醒 · 教学提示

  • 「请给我看一下……」是很客气的说法;「一下」在后面的语法页会讲。
  • 对方要东西时,先说「好的」,再说「这是我的……」;中文里不说「给你」。
  • 「公斤」是公制重量单位,机场几乎都用公斤;「超了三公斤」是「超过三公斤」的口语说法。
  • 服务人员常用「您」,学生听得懂就好,自己说「你」也可以。「还是」是第 1-3 课学过的「A 还是 B」。
  • 下一句开始是下飞机以后,在海关排队的场景。
  • 海关人员问的就是这两个问题:「来做什么」和「住多久」,答案越短越好。
🧑‍🏫 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)
  • 老师当工作人员、学生当汤姆,分角色朗读,然后互换角色。(约3分钟)
  • 重点句:「好的,这是我的护照。」「我要托运这个行李箱。」「我要靠窗。」「我来旅游。」「我打算住十天。」请学生反复练习。
  • 提醒:海关的两个问题一定会被问到,请学生把答案背熟。
  • 时间不够时,只练第二、第五、第九、第十一句。

🧑‍🏫 Teacher guide 教学引导
  • 先带读本课生词,请学生注意「护照」「超重」「住」里的 zh、ch 和「海关」里的 h。
  • 易混音只挑两组练习,例如 zh 和 z、an 和 ang,不必全部做完。
  • 变调只讲本课出现的:两个第三声连在一起,前一个读第二声(「你打算」「可以」);「一」在第三声前读 yì(一点)。
  • 声调和口音系统不会判断,请老师现场听并纠正。
  • 这一页约4分钟,时间不够就把跟读留作课后练习。
