§課文原文 Passage
1Last month, our class visited the zoo for our science project. The lion is called the king of animals, and its roar is very loud. Everyone stopped to listen when it roared. Next to the lion, a big tiger was sleeping on the grass. It has beautiful black stripes on its orange fur. The elephant is the biggest animal on land, and it uses its long trunk to drink water.
2The monkeys jumped from tree to tree and made us laugh. One little monkey even took a banana from my friend's hand! My little sister loves the rabbit because it has soft white fur and long ears. She wants to feed it some carrots. The panda sat quietly and ate bamboo all afternoon. It looked like a big, lazy toy.
3We also saw colourful birds and fish in the big aquarium. Some fish were gold, and some were bright blue. I took many photos of the animals for my project. Animals are our friends, so we must protect them. I hope I can visit the zoo again soon.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 大型動物常見的大型動物有 lion（獅子）、tiger（老虎）、elephant（大象）以及 giraffe（長頸鹿）。例句：The elephant has a long trunk and big ears. 要注意這些名詞都是可數名詞，說一隻時要加 a 或 an，例如 a lion；說多隻時加 s；在動物園或故事中特指某隻動物時，用 the 加單數名詞，例如 The tiger is sleeping；the 也可以泛指整類動物，例如 The tiger is a dangerous animal.
- 小型動物常見的小型動物有 rabbit（兔子）、bird（鳥）、fish（魚）以及 hamster（倉鼠）。例句：Rabbits love eating carrots and vegetables. 要注意 rabbit 的複數直接加 s；fish 單複數同形，只有指多種魚類時才用 fishes；bird 是可數名詞。這些小動物常作寵物，介紹時可以說 I have a pet rabbit，意思是養了一隻兔子作寵物，pet 放在動物名詞前面作定語。
- 黑白動物panda（熊貓）是黑白相間的動物，也是中國的國寶。例句：Pandas eat bamboo almost all day. 要注意 panda 是可數名詞，複數加 s；描述熊貓的外貌可以用 black and white fur（黑白毛色）；說整類熊貓的習性時，可以用複數 pandas，也可以用 the panda，動詞按主語形式變化，例如 The panda eats bamboo 與 Pandas eat bamboo，兩種寫法都正確。
- 描述動物的形容詞描述動物常用的形容詞有 big（大）、small（小）、fast（快）、slow（慢）、cute（可愛）以及 dangerous（危險）。例句：Cheetahs are very fast. Koalas are cute and slow. 要注意形容詞可放在 be 動詞之後作表語，或放在名詞之前作定語，例如 a big elephant；形容詞沒有複數形式，不能說 bigs；多個形容詞並列時用 and 連接最後一個，例如 big and strong。
- 過去式講參觀敘述已發生的參觀活動要用過去式。例如：Last month, our class visited the zoo. The tiger was sleeping on the grass. visited 是 visit 的過去式；was sleeping 是過去進行式，表示當時正在進行的動作。要注意句中通常有 last month、yesterday 等過去時間詞作提示；描述當時持續的畫面用過去進行式，描述先後發生的動作則用一般過去式，例如 saw、took、ate。
- 最高級講動物比較三個或以上的對象時用最高級。例如：The elephant is the biggest animal on land. The lion is called the king of animals. 拼寫規則：單音節形容詞一般直接加 est，例如 biggest；以 e 結尾的只加 st；多音節形容詞前面加 the most，例如 the most beautiful。要注意最高級前面必須有 the；形容詞以輔音字母加 y 結尾時，先把 y 改為 i 再加 est，例如 heavy 變成 the heaviest.
5例題示範 Example
問題：怎樣寫一段有條理的動物園見聞？
- 第一步：開頭交代時間與目的，用 last month 等過去時間詞搭配過去式，例如：Last month, our class visited the zoo for our science project.
- 第二步：挑選兩三隻動物描述外形特徵，用 has 加顏色與花紋等細節，使描寫具體，例如：The tiger has beautiful black stripes on its orange fur.
- 第三步：描述動物當時的動態，持續的畫面可用過去進行式，先後的動作用一般過去式，例如：The tiger was sleeping on the grass. The panda sat quietly and ate bamboo all afternoon.
- 第四步：加入一件有趣或難忘的小事，讓文章更生動，例如：One little monkey took a banana from my friend's hand!
- 第五步：以保護動物的感受收結，用 must 說出應該做的事，使結尾有意義，例如：Animals are our friends, so we must protect them.
- 答案：示範答案：Last month, our class visited the zoo. The tiger has beautiful black stripes, and the panda sat quietly and ate bamboo all afternoon. One little monkey even took a banana from my friend's hand! Animals are our friends, so we must protect them.
