3逐步讲解 Steps
- 核心家庭成员介绍家庭先要认识最基本的成员称呼：father（爸爸）、mother（妈妈）、brother（兄弟）以及 sister（姊妹）。提到自己家人时通常加上 my，例如 my father、my mother。例句：I have one brother and two sisters. 要注意 brother 与 sister 本身不分年长或年幼，如需说明可用 elder brother（哥哥）与 younger sister（妹妹）；这几个词几乎每次介绍家人都会用到，必须记熟拼写。
- 儿女的说法son 是儿子，daughter 是女儿，两个词多从父母的角度使用。例句：My parents have one son and one daughter. 从子女的角度则说 I am their only son，意思是我是他们唯一的儿子。要注意 daughter 的拼写较难，中间的 gh 不发音，读出来只有两个音节；复数形式直接加 s，即 sons 与 daughters，例如 They have three daughters.
- 祖辈的称呼grandfather 指祖父或外祖父，grandmother 指祖母或外祖母。英语不像中文那样细分爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆，一律用 grand 与 parent 合成的方式表达。例句：My grandmother lives with us and cooks delicious meals every day. 要注意 grandparent 是祖父母的统称，指四位长辈时说 grandparents；如需说明是哪一方，可以用 my father's mother 这类结构，意思是我爸爸的妈妈。
- 亲戚的称呼uncle 泛指叔伯、舅父、姑丈、姨丈，aunt 泛指姑母、姨母、伯母、舅母，cousin 则统称堂兄弟姊妹与表兄弟姊妹。例句：My uncle is a policeman. I have five cousins. 要注意英语的亲戚称呼不分父方或母方，也不分年长年幼，范围比中文宽得多；cousin 一词男女通用，指表姐或堂弟都可以用，说复数时直接加 s，例如 cousins。
- 介绍职业介绍家人的职业时，用 be 动词加 a 或 an，再加职业名词。例如：My father is a bus driver. My mother is a shop assistant in a supermarket. 要注意单数可数的职业名词前面必须有冠词，不能说 My father is bus driver；职业名词以元音音素开头时用 an，例如 an artist、an engineer；主语是复数时则不用冠词，例如 They are teachers。这是考试常考的重点。
- 说年龄与排行说年龄用 be 动词加数字加 years old，例如：My brother is ten years old. 刚好一岁时用 one year old，year 用单数。描述排行可用 the eldest（最年长）、the middle child（中间的孩子）、the youngest（最年幼），例如：I am the middle child. My sister is the youngest in our family. 要注意作定语时要写成 a ten-year-old boy，有连字符且 year 不加 s；两种用法不可混淆。
5例题示范 Example
问题：怎样有条理地介绍自己家庭的人数与成员？
- 第一步：先说明家里一共有多少人，用 There are 加数字加 people 的句式开头，例如：There are six people in my family.
- 第二步：逐个点名家庭成员，并列多项时用 and 连接最后一项，使句子读起来自然完整，例如：my father, my mother, my brother, my sister and me.
- 第三步：为其中一两位成员补充职业或年龄等细节，使介绍更具体，例如：My father is a bus driver. My sister is only five.
- 第四步：描述全家一起做的事，用 we 作主语并可加上频率副词，说明相处的日常，例如：On weekends, we sometimes have a picnic together.
- 第五步：以对家庭的感受作结，例如：I love my big, warm family. 这样文章有开头也有收结，结构才完整。
- 答案：示范答案：There are six people in my family: my father, my mother, my brother, my sister and me. My father is a bus driver and my mother is a shop assistant. On weekends, we sometimes have a picnic together. I love my big, warm family.
