§課文原文 Passage
1A Morning at the Wet Market
I see red tomatoes and green vegetables in every stall. A mountain of golden mangoes catches my eye. The fish sellers shout loudly, and the sounds fill the whole street. I hear a lady singing as she sells her fresh tofu.
2I smell fresh bread from the bakery next door. The durian stall has a strong smell that some people love and some people hate. A friendly uncle lets me taste a sweet piece of pineapple. 'Sweet like honey!' he laughs. The ice on the fish feels cold and wet when I touch it.
3The steamed buns are soft and warm in my hands, and I eat one as we walk. Every colour, sound and smell mixes together and makes the market feel alive. Grandma picks the freshest fish and says, 'Look at its bright eyes.' She teaches me how to choose the sweetest mangoes.
4Mum says the market is the best place to know a city. I agree, because all my five senses are awake here. Next week, I want to write about the night market and describe its lights and smells. For now, I hold my warm bun and smile all the way home.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 視視覺描寫用顏色與形狀。例句：The sand is soft and white. The sea is blue. 提示：選兩三個最搶眼的視覺特徵便足夠，堆得太滿反而雜亂；形容詞放在 be 動詞之後最穩妥。觀察時先找出最特別的兩三處，例如顏色最鮮明的、形狀最獨特的；選材精準，句子雖少，畫面卻清晰。
- 聽聽覺描寫寫出環境的聲音。例句：I can hear the waves and the seagulls. 提示：用 can hear 或 sound like 引出聲音；描寫街市可用 sellers shout、bells ring，聲音令畫面立時有動感。聲音描寫要具體：寫出誰在發聲、聲音像什麼，例如 The waves sound like whispers.
- 嗅味觸嗅覺、味覺與觸覺豐富描寫的層次。例句：I can smell the salt air. The wind feels cool. 提示：嗅覺用 smell of，觸覺用 feel 加形容詞；味覺形容詞有 sweet、sour、salty，按場景選用。描寫嗅味觸時先回想親身經驗：海邊的鹹味、沙粒的粗糙；寫自己真實感受過的細節，句子自然真切。
- 技巧描寫文的結構技巧是每段集中一個感官。例句：一段寫眼見，一段寫耳聞，一段寫鼻與手。提示：先寫一句總起，如 The beach is beautiful in the morning，再逐個感官展開，最後以感受收結。每段第一句先點明這段寫哪個感官，讀者就跟著你的感官走；段落之間可以用地點或時間轉換，銜接更自然。
- 感官逐一掃像掃描一樣逐個感官蒐集素材。例句：看 red tomatoes、聽 sellers shout、嗅 salt air、摸 soft sand，一個感官一段。提示：先在腦中按五感列表，再挑最生動的寫進文章，內容便不會空洞。掃描時可以閉上眼睛回想：剛才看見什麼？聽見什麼？摸到什麼？記錄下來的細節，往往比一邊走一邊看更集中。
- 用比喻比喻令描寫立刻變得生動。例句：A mountain of golden mangoes，用 mountain 比喻份量多，畫面立即浮現。提示：比喻要貼切，可用 like，例如 The clouds are like cotton；也可用 a sea of lights 這類寫法。自創比喻時先想特徵：圓的像什麼？亮的像什麼？找到相似之處，比喻就貼切又新鮮。
