① 先说一条原则:清晰度、自然度(随意),而不是一味的快
说英语追求的是"清清楚楚、像平时说话",不是语速快。快而听不清 = 考官接不住内容,反而丢分。停顿、重音、语气词都往"自然"上靠。
② 主题句 · 背景铺垫:四件事一句一句铺完
本课用「爱种植物的人」当范例:
| 要素 | 板书句子 |
|---|---|
| 时间 | last summer —— It was last summer that I came across her.(强调句) |
| 地点 | I was lying on my sofa, scrolling through TikTok. |
| 人物 | she popped up onto my screen;she was streaming from her balcony, repotting a tomato with her bare hands while she was talking. |
| 原因 | A balcony full of plants is what I've always wanted.(表语从句:我想要的正是…) |
要点:时间地点只是"背景板",人物出场要带动作(repotting a tomato with her bare hands)+ while 状语(一边说话一边换盆)——动作一出来,画面就有了。
③ 第二部分 introduce:四句话介绍一个人
- My general impression is that she's a smart cookie,(整体印象)
- because she always wears her hair in a ponytail, which makes her quite cute, although her fingernails are always full of soil.(because 给细节)
- she's got an oval face with a Roman nose.(外貌)
- despite that, she's really approachable — she's the most approachable person I've ever followed on social media.(转折给性格 + 最高级)
顺序 = 整体印象 → because 细节 → 外貌 → despite that 转折。第 2 句是一箭双雕:ponytail 让形状可爱,although 再拽回一句"指甲里全是土"——把外貌和"爱种植物"绑在一起。
④ 个人趣事:先"设计这个句子"
Let me tell you what I've learned from Nancy. First of all, …
板书提醒:这句话不是随口说的,是设计出来的 ——
She grows almost everything you can imagine on a balcony: tomatoes, chillies, orchids, lilies to attract bees.
| 手法 | 怎么用 |
|---|---|
| 全量词开头 | almost everything you can imagine(比 many plants 有画面) |
| 具体列举 | tomatoes / chillies / orchids / lilies —— 名词要具体,别只说 flowers |
| 带一个目的 | lilies to attract bees(百合是为了招蜜蜂) |
再来一句判断句:She treats her plants like friends rather than decorations.(她把植物当朋友,不是当装饰品)—— rather than 一对比,人物性格就立住了。
⑤ 场景:状语 —— 把动作切成一条时间轴
板书:Every morning, she spends twenty minutes checking the soil with her fingers, watering the ones that need it.
- 时间状语开头:Every morning —— 一句锁定"日常场景"
- spend + 时间 + doing:spends twenty minutes checking…(动名词)
- 现在分词并联:checking… , watering… —— 一个主语挂两个动作(呼应第 4 课语法)
- 细节动词:check the soil with her fingers;watering the ones that need it(不是每盆都浇——细节才生动)
⑥ 因果 + 拟人:给故事一个温度
And she actually talks to her plants.
- 同学问"为什么???" → 她说:给它们关爱
so that they grow healthier.(so that 引出目的) - 落到自己:我种了薄荷 / 我试了这个"对话方法" / 看着它健康成长
套路:讲别人的故事 → 自己跟着做 → 结果(薄荷活了)→ 感受。这一步不做,"生动"就停在别人身上。
⑦ 发音:approachable 的 pr- 继续带"wu"
板书在 approachable 旁标了 wu —— R-blend 老办法:嘴唇往前 → 先发"wuuu" → 舌尖后卷。本课一抓一大把:approachable / plants / grow / greener / balcony。
⑧ 这套骨架还能回答哪些题(串题)
| 题目 | 只换哪一块 |
|---|---|
| Describe a person who loves to grow plants | 趣事换成"种什么、怎么种"(本课) |
| Describe a person you followed on social media | 趣事换成"她教你的那个技巧"(第 5 课 R-blend) |
| Describe a person who persuaded you to do something | 趣事换成"她怎么说服你的" |
| Describe a change you made recently | 背景铺垫照搬,重点放到"你做了什么、结果如何" |
