基础听故事、讲故事、演故事——三只小猪教你的不止是英文,还有勇气与智慧。
- Once upon a time 是故事开场白。
- 抓关键字:straw, sticks, bricks, huff, puff。
- 故事动词用过去式:built, came, blew。
文体小知识:Language Arts——透过故事、儿歌同诗歌学英文:语言不止是工具,仲是乐趣。
§课文原文 Passage
1Once upon a time, three little pigs built three houses. The first pig built a house of straw. The second pig built a house of sticks. The third pig worked hard and built a house of bricks. One day, a big bad wolf came. He huffed and he puffed and he blew the straw house down! The little pig ran to his brother's stick house.
2The wolf huffed and puffed again and blew the stick house down too! The two little pigs ran to the third pig's brick house. The wolf huffed and puffed and huffed and puffed — but the brick house did not fall down. The wolf was too tired. The three pigs were safe and happy inside. The third pig said, 'Hard work keeps us safe.'
3Story time is learning time. When you listen to a story, you hear new words: straw, sticks, bricks, huff, puff. When you tell the story again, you practise speaking. When you act it out with friends, you remember the words forever. Stories are the best teacher — and the Three Little Pigs teaches us: work hard, and do things well.

3逐步讲解 Steps
- Step 1:听故事抓关键字听《三只小猪》的故事时,留意五个关键字:three pigs(三只小猪)、straw(稻草)、sticks(木枝)、bricks(砖)、wolf(狼)。听到就举手或者在纸上圈出来。一边听一边抓字,既能训练听力,又能帮助记住故事的内容。听之前先把五个关键字读一次,熟悉它们的读音;听到时圈出来,故事讲完后再用这五个字复述一次情节。
- Step 2:开场金句Once upon a time(从前)是所有童话故事的开场白,讲故事由这一句开始,立刻有故事的感觉。接著讲:Three little pigs built three houses.(三只小猪盖了三间屋)。开头两句讲好了,听众就会安静下来听你继续。讲之前深呼吸一次,用清楚的声线说出这句开场白;开场讲得有自信,整个故事都会讲得更流畅。
- Step 3:会发声的动词The wolf huffed and he puffed.(狼呼呼地吹气)。huff 和 puff 都是狼用力吹气的动作词,读出来时要大力:HUFF! PUFF! 动词配上动作和大声线,故事就活了。读英语时遇到这类有声音的字,模仿做一次,印象特别深刻。平时留意收集这类拟声动词,例如 crash(碰撞)、splash(泼水声),建立自己的声音词库,讲故事时就能随时运用。
- Step 4:三段重复结构童话的特色是重复:狼先吹草屋,再吹木屋,最后吹砖屋,三段结构相似,听众容易记住。讲到第三遍时可以放慢速度,让听众跟著一起讲:He huffed and he puffed ... 大家一起讲,故事就越讲越热闹,人人都投入到故事里。重复结构还方便预测情节:听众知道第三段又会发生什么,可以一边听一边猜,投入感就更强。
- Step 5:演故事配声线三人一组演故事:狼用粗声,第一只和第二只猪用惊慌的声音,第三只猪用沉稳的声音。换上不同的声线,角色立刻分明起来。这是口语表达的训练,也是故事最好玩的地方;演完一轮就交换角色,人人都试试做狼。演之前先决定每个角色的声线,练习一两次才正式演出;声线夸张一点无妨,重点是让观众一听就分辨出角色。
- Step 6:故事的最后一课The third pig said: Hard work keeps us safe.(第三只小猪说:勤劳工作才能保住安全)。故事的教训由角色自己说出来,最为有力。讲完故事记得说出寓意:故事加寓意,才是 Language Arts 的完整结构,听众听完还有得著。寓意也可以反问听众:这个故事教了我们什么?让他们自己说出答案,印象就更深刻。
