放学回家的时候，我在组屋楼下看见一只白色的小猫。

On my way home from school, I saw a little white cat downstairs at my block.
它躲在长椅下面，一直喵喵地叫。
tā duǒ zài cháng yǐ xià miàn yì zhí miāo miāo de jiào
It was hiding under a bench, mewing and mewing.
我发现它的项圈上挂着一个名牌，上面写着它的名字和住址。

I saw a name tag on its collar with its name and address.
原来它是住在五楼的猫！我先回家告诉妈妈。

So it was a cat from the fifth floor! I went home first and told Mum.
妈妈陪我把小猫送回去，主人高兴极了，连声向我们道谢。

Mum went with me to take the kitten back. Its owner was overjoyed and kept thanking us.
二、看图说话 Talk about the picture
老师：请你说一说图里的情景。
qǐng nǐ shuō yi shuō tú lǐ de qíng jǐng
Please describe what is happening in the picture.
范例：这是组屋楼下。一个背着红色书包、穿蓝色裙子的女孩站在长椅旁边。长椅旁边有一只白色的小猫，女孩伸出手，想摸一摸它。旁边还有一部电梯。
zhè shì zǔ wū lóu xià yí gè bèi zhe hóng sè shū bāo chuān lán sè qún zi de nǚ hái zhàn zài cháng yǐ páng biān cháng yǐ páng biān yǒu yì zhī bái sè de xiǎo māo nǚ hái shēn chū shǒu xiǎng mō yi mō tā páng biān hái yǒu yí bù diàn tī
This is downstairs at an HDB block. A girl in a blue dress with a red school bag is standing next to a bench. Next to the bench is a little white cat, and the girl is reaching out to stroke it. Beside them is a lift.
老师：小猫的脖子上有什么？这告诉我们什么？
xiǎo māo de bó zi shàng yǒu shén me zhè gào su wǒ men shén me
What is on the kitten's neck? What does that tell us?
范例：小猫的脖子上戴着一个红色的项圈，所以它不是流浪猫，它是有主人的。
xiǎo māo de bó zi shàng dài zhe yí gè hóng sè de xiàng quān suǒ yǐ tā bú shì liú làng māo tā shì yǒu zhǔ rén de
The kitten is wearing a red collar, so it isn't a stray cat. It has an owner.
老师：你觉得女孩是什么时候看见小猫的？为什么？
nǐ jué de nǚ hái shì shén me shí hou kàn jiàn xiǎo māo de wèi shén me
When do you think the girl saw the kitten? Why?
范例：我觉得是放学的时候，因为她背着书包，好像刚从学校回来。
wǒ jué de shì fàng xué de shí hou yīn wèi tā bèi zhe shū bāo hǎo xiàng gāng cóng xué xiào huí lai
I think it was after school, because she is carrying her school bag, as if she has just come back from school.
老师：女孩接下来会怎么做？
nǚ hái jiē xià lái huì zěn me zuò
What will the girl do next?
范例：我想她会先回家告诉妈妈，再和妈妈一起帮小猫找主人。
wǒ xiǎng tā huì xiān huí jiā gào su mā ma zài hé mā ma yì qǐ bāng xiǎo māo zhǎo zhǔ rén
I think she will go home and tell her mum first, then help the kitten find its owner together with Mum.
老师：如果你是那个女孩，你会怎么做？为什么？
rú guǒ nǐ shì nà ge nǚ hái nǐ huì zěn me zuò wèi shén me
If you were the girl, what would you do? Why?
范例：如果我是她，我会请大人帮忙找小猫的主人，因为主人找不到小猫，一定很着急。
rú guǒ wǒ shì tā wǒ huì qǐng dà rén bāng máng zhǎo xiǎo māo de zhǔ rén yīn wèi zhǔ rén zhǎo bú dào xiǎo māo yí dìng hěn zháo jí
If I were her, I would ask an adult to help find the kitten's owner, because the owner must be very worried after losing it.
老师：摸不认识的猫，要注意什么？
mō bú rèn shi de māo yào zhù yì shén me
What should we be careful about when we stroke a cat we don't know?
范例：我们要轻轻地摸，不可以拉它的尾巴。如果猫很生气，就不要靠近，免得被抓伤。摸完以后要洗手。
wǒ men yào qīng qīng de mō bù kě yǐ lā tā de wěi ba rú guǒ māo hěn shēng qì jiù bú yào kào jìn miǎn de bèi zhuā shāng mō wán yǐ hòu yào xǐ shǒu
We should stroke it gently and not pull its tail. If the cat is angry, keep away so we don't get scratched. Wash your hands afterwards.
三、会话 Conversation
情景：你的同学说：“养宠物太麻烦了，如果不想养了，把它放到外面就可以了。”
nǐ de tóng xué shuō yǎng chǒng wù tài má fan le rú guǒ bù xiǎng yǎng le bǎ tā fàng dào wài miàn jiù kě yǐ le
Your classmate says, "Keeping a pet is too much trouble. If you don't want it any more, just let it go outside."
老师：你同意吗？为什么？
nǐ tóng yì ma wèi shén me
Do you agree? Why?
范例：我不同意。宠物是我们的朋友，它们不会自己找东西吃。把它们放到外面，它们可能会饿肚子，也可能会生病。
wǒ bù tóng yì chǒng wù shì wǒ men de péng you tā men bú huì zì jǐ zhǎo dōng xi chī bǎ tā men fàng dào wài miàn tā men kě néng huì è dù zi yě kě néng huì shēng bìng
I don't agree. Pets are our friends, and they can't find food by themselves. If we put them outside, they may go hungry or fall ill.
💡 Start with 我同意 or 我不同意, then say what could happen to the pet.
老师：养宠物要做哪些事？
yǎng chǒng wù yào zuò nǎ xiē shì
What do you need to do when you keep a pet?
范例：养宠物要每天给它食物和水，帮它洗澡，带它去看兽医，还要常常陪它玩。
yǎng chǒng wù yào měi tiān gěi tā shí wù hé shuǐ bāng tā xǐ zǎo dài tā qù kàn shòu yī hái yào cháng cháng péi tā wán
You need to give it food and water every day, bathe it, take it to the vet, and play with it often.
💡 List three or four jobs, and join the last one with 还要.
老师：你想养什么宠物？为什么？
nǐ xiǎng yǎng shén me chǒng wù wèi shén me
What pet would you like to keep? Why?
范例：我想养一只小兔子，因为兔子很可爱，也很安静，不会吵到邻居。
wǒ xiǎng yǎng yì zhī xiǎo tù zi yīn wèi tù zi hěn kě ài yě hěn ān jìng bú huì chǎo dào lín jū
I'd like to keep a little rabbit, because rabbits are cute and quiet, so it won't disturb the neighbours.
💡 Name the pet, then give two reasons with 因为……也…….
