3逐步講解 Steps
- 讀熟家庭稱謂舉個例子：跟讀 father、mother、brother、sister、grandfather、grandmother、uncle、aunt，一邊讀一邊想著家中對應的人，例如讀 grandfather 就想起爺爺。注意 grandfather 與 grandmother 都有前綴 grand，表示隔一代的長輩；uncle 涵蓋叔叔、舅舅，aunt 涵蓋姑母、姨母，英文不像中文分得那麼細。
- 介紹家人舉個例子：This is my father. He works in a bank. 介紹家人先說稱謂，再補一份簡單資料，例如職業、愛好或年齡。第一句用 This is my... 引出人物，第二句用 He 或 She 開始補充；注意第二句必須是完整句子，不要只說 works in a bank 而漏掉主語 He。
- 第三人稱單數動詞加 s舉個例子：My father works in a bank. My brother helps me with my homework. 描述他或她（單數）的習慣時，動詞要加 s 或 es，這是小四最常見的考點。易錯位是說了 he、she 之後忘記變動詞，寫成 My father work in a bank；記住口訣：he、she、it 之後，動詞要穿上 s 這件外衣。
- 說家庭活動舉個例子：We visit our grandparents at the weekend. We have dim sum together on Sundays. 描述全家一起做的事，主語常用 we，動詞用原形，因為 we 是眾數；句尾的 together 突出一家人一起的溫暖感覺。時間短語放句尾，例如 at the weekend、on Sundays，注意星期名稱第一個字母要大寫。
- 說感受與原因舉個例子：I love my family because we take care of each other. 用 because 把感受與原因連接起來，句子立刻更有內容。句型是先說感受，再用 because 說明理由；原因可以是一家人互相照顧、一起旅行或常常歡笑。原因要寫具體的事情，不要只寫 because they are nice 就停下來。
- 畫家譜樹舉個例子：畫一棵家譜樹，每個格子用英文寫上稱謂，長輩放上層，平輩放下層；畫好後向同學介紹：This is my grandmother. She lives in Sha Tin. 這個活動把稱謂詞與家中真實的人一一對應，記憶更深刻；介紹時每個格子至少說一句，練完整棵樹，稱謂詞就自然熟練了。
5例題示範 Example
問題：怎樣用四至五句英文，有條理地介紹自己的一位家人？
- 第一步：由稱謂開始，用 This is my mother. 引出人物，讓聽的人第一時間知道介紹的是誰。
- 第二步：說職業或特點，例如 She is a nurse at a hospital.，一份簡單資料就能令人物立體起來。
- 第三步：加日常習慣，例如 She cooks dinner for us every day.，注意主語是 she，動詞 cooks 要加 s。
- 第四步：用 because 加上原因，例如 I love her because she takes care of us.，令介紹有感受也有理由。
- 第五步：把四句串成一段完整介紹，開口前先在心中默讀一次，確保每句都有主語和動詞。
- 答案：示範答案：This is my mother. She is a nurse at a hospital near our home. She cooks dinner for us every day. I love her because she takes care of us.
