§课文原文 Passage
1How to Make a Cup of Tea. Making tea is easy if you follow the right sequence. First, boil some water in a kettle. Next, put a tea bag in your cup. While the water is boiling, warm your cup with a little hot water and pour it away. A clear glass cup is the best because you can watch the colour change.
2Then, pour the hot water over the tea bag and wait for three minutes. Do not press the tea bag, or the tea will taste bitter. After that, take the tea bag out and put it on a small plate. Add some milk or sugar if you like, but taste it first. Finally, stir the tea gently with a spoon and enjoy the lovely smell.
3Before you drink, let the tea cool for a minute, or you may burn your tongue. Now you can enjoy your tea with some biscuits. Remember not to use too much milk. Each step is simple, but the order matters. If you practise a few times, you can make tea for your family. They will say, 'What a helpful child!'

3逐步讲解 Steps
- 开始叙述事件的开始用 First，例如 First, boil the water. 提示：First 放在句首并加逗号，标示这是第一步；故事开首也常用 One day、Last Sunday 等时间短语交代起点。
- 中间中间步骤用 Next、Then、After that 连接。例句：Next, put a tea bag in the cup. Then pour the hot water. 提示：这几个词可以互换，但不要整篇重复用同一个，换着使用文章才有变化。
- 结尾最后一步用 Finally 或 In the end。例句：Finally, add the milk and enjoy. 提示：Finally 标示流程结束，与句首的 First 前后呼应；它之后常带结果或感受，例如 Finally, everyone was happy。
- 技巧做排序题的关键技巧是圈出时间词与顺序词：first、next、then、after that、finally。例句：First, wash the rice. 提示：圈好之后再按逻辑排列，速度会快许多，也不易漏掉步骤。
- 实战：冲茶步骤以冲茶为例：First, boil the water. Next, put a tea bag in the cup. Then, pour the hot water. Finally, add the milk. 贴士：四句正好对应开始、中间、中间、结尾，顺序词与动作先后完全吻合。
- 乱序排回题目把步骤打乱时，先圈每句的顺序词，再按 First 到 Finally 的次序排回。例句：见 Then pour the hot water，便知道它在 boil water 之后。提示：没有顺序词的句子用常理判断，例如没有滚水便不能冲茶。
5例题示范 Example
问题：四句冲茶步骤被打乱了，怎样把它们排回正确次序？
- 第一步：逐句圈出顺序词 — first、next、then、finally，先看清哪些句子带提示。
- 第二步：没有顺序词的句子用常理判断 — 未烧滚水便不能冲茶，次序靠逻辑推敲。
- 第三步：先排开始句 — First, boil the water. 烧水是整个流程的第一步。
- 第四步：依次排中间步骤 — Next, put a tea bag in the cup. Then pour the hot water. 先放茶包才倒水，次序合理。
- 第五步：排最后一步 — Finally, add the milk and enjoy. 加奶享用，正是流程终结。
- 答案：正确次序：First, boil the water. Next, put a tea bag in the cup. Then pour the hot water. Finally, add the milk and enjoy. 四句以 First、Next、Then、Finally 串连，先烧水、放茶包、倒水，最后加奶，先后合理。
