§課文原文 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逐步講解 Steps
- 開始敘述事件的開始用 First，例如 First, boil the water. 提示：First 放在句首並加逗號，標示這是第一步；故事開首也常用 One day、Last Sunday 等時間短語交代起點。
- 中間中間步驟用 Next、Then、After that 連接。例句：Next, put a tea bag in the cup. Then pour the hot water. 提示：這幾個詞可以互換，但不要整篇重複用同一個，換着使用文章才有變化。
- 結尾最後一步用 Finally 或 In the end。例句：Finally, add the milk and enjoy. 提示：Finally 標示流程結束，與句首的 First 前後呼應；它之後常帶結果或感受，例如 Finally, everyone was happy。
- 技巧做排序題的關鍵技巧是圈出時間詞與順序詞：first、next、then、after that、finally。例句：First, wash the rice. 提示：圈好之後再按邏輯排列，速度會快許多，也不易漏掉步驟。
- 實戰：沖茶步驟以沖茶為例：First, boil the water. Next, put a tea bag in the cup. Then, pour the hot water. Finally, add the milk. 貼士：四句正好對應開始、中間、中間、結尾，順序詞與動作先後完全吻合。
- 亂序排回題目把步驟打亂時，先圈每句的順序詞，再按 First 到 Finally 的次序排回。例句：見 Then pour the hot water，便知道它在 boil water 之後。提示：沒有順序詞的句子用常理判斷，例如沒有滾水便不能沖茶。
5例題示範 Example
問題：四句沖茶步驟被打亂了，怎樣把它們排回正確次序？
- 第一步：逐句圈出順序詞 — first、next、then、finally，先看清哪些句子帶提示。
- 第二步：沒有順序詞的句子用常理判斷 — 未燒滾水便不能沖茶，次序靠邏輯推敲。
- 第三步：先排開始句 — First, boil the water. 燒水是整個流程的第一步。
- 第四步：依次排中間步驟 — 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：排最後一步 — Finally, add the milk and enjoy. 加奶享用，正是流程終結。
- 答案：正確次序：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 串連，先燒水、放茶包、倒水，最後加奶，先後合理。
