一、朗读 Read aloud
上个星期五，老师带我们到老人院探访老人。
shàng ge xīng qī wǔ lǎo shī dài wǒ men dào lǎo rén yuàn tàn fǎng lǎo rén
Last Friday, our teacher took us to visit the old people at an old folks' home.
一进门，我就看到爷爷奶奶们坐在椅子上，安静地看着我们。
yí jìn mén wǒ jiù kàn dào yé ye nǎi nai men zuò zài yǐ zi shàng ān jìng de kàn zhe wǒ men
As soon as we went in, I saw the grandpas and grandmas sitting in their chairs, quietly watching us.
我们先为他们唱了几首歌，他们一边听，一边拍手。
wǒ men xiān wèi tā men chàng le jǐ shǒu gē tā men yì biān tīng yì biān pāi shǒu
First we sang them a few songs, and they clapped as they listened.
接着，我们拿出带来的跳棋，陪他们下棋、玩游戏。
jiē zhe wǒ men ná chū dài lái de tiào qí péi tā men xià qí wán yóu xì
Next, we took out the Chinese checkers we had brought and played board games with them.
陈奶奶还给我们讲了她小时候的故事，大家都听得入迷了。
chén nǎi nai hái gěi wǒ men jiǎng le tā xiǎo shí hou de gù shi dà jiā dōu tīng de rù mí le
Granny Chen told us stories from when she was little, and we were all spellbound.
离开的时候，陈奶奶拉着我的手说：“你们要常常来看我们啊！”
lí kāi de shí hou chén nǎi nai lā zhe wǒ de shǒu shuō nǐ men yào cháng cháng lái kàn wǒ men a
When we left, Granny Chen held my hand and said, "Come and see us often!"
我发现，老人最需要的不是礼物，而是有人陪他们说说话。
wǒ fā xiàn lǎo rén zuì xū yào de bú shì lǐ wù ér shì yǒu rén péi tā men shuō shuo huà
I realised that what old people need most is not presents, but someone to talk with them.
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：这是一家老人院。两位老人坐在椅子上，老师带着一个女生和一个男生来探访他们。小桌子上有一盘跳棋，地上还有一块彩色的游戏板。
zhè shì yì jiā lǎo rén yuàn liǎng wèi lǎo rén zuò zài yǐ zi shàng lǎo shī dài zhe yí gè nǚ shēng hé yí gè nán shēng lái tàn fǎng tā men xiǎo zhuō zi shàng yǒu yì pán tiào qí dì shang hái yǒu yí kuài cǎi sè de yóu xì bǎn
This is an old folks' home. Two old people are sitting in armchairs, and a teacher has brought a girl and a boy to visit them. There is a Chinese-checkers board on the little table, and a colourful game board on the floor.
老师：你觉得老人们的心情怎么样？为什么？
nǐ jué de lǎo rén men de xīn qíng zěn me yàng wèi shén me
How do you think the old people feel? Why?
范例：我觉得他们很开心，因为他们都笑着。平时可能很少有人来看他们，所以看到小朋友来，就特别高兴。
wǒ jué de tā men hěn kāi xīn yīn wèi tā men dōu xiào zhe píng shí kě néng hěn shǎo yǒu rén lái kàn tā men suǒ yǐ kàn dào xiǎo péng yǒu lái jiù tè bié gāo xìng
I think they are happy, because they are both smiling. Maybe few people usually visit them, so they are especially glad to see children.
老师：如果你去老人院探访，你会和老人做什么？
rú guǒ nǐ qù lǎo rén yuàn tàn fǎng nǐ huì hé lǎo rén zuò shén me
If you visited an old folks' home, what would you do with the old people?
范例：我会陪他们聊天，听他们讲以前的故事。我还会表演节目，比如唱歌或者讲笑话，让他们开心。
wǒ huì péi tā men liáo tiān tīng tā men jiǎng yǐ qián de gù shi wǒ hái huì biǎo yǎn jié mù bǐ rú chàng gē huò zhě jiǎng xiào huà ràng tā men kāi xīn
I would chat with them and listen to their stories from the past. I would also put on a show, like singing or telling jokes, to make them happy.
老师：你平时怎么照顾家里的老人？
nǐ píng shí zěn me zhào gù jiā lǐ de lǎo rén
How do you usually take care of the older people in your family?
范例：我的外婆和我们一起住。放学后，我会陪她散步，帮她拿东西。她看不清楚小字的时候，我就读给她听。
wǒ de wài pó hé wǒ men yì qǐ zhù fàng xué hòu wǒ huì péi tā sàn bù bāng tā ná dōng xi tā kàn bù qīng chu xiǎo zì de shí hou wǒ jiù dú gěi tā tīng
My grandma lives with us. After school, I go for walks with her and carry things for her. When she can't read small print, I read it to her.
老师：图里有几个人？他们是谁？
tú lǐ yǒu jǐ gè rén tā men shì shéi
How many people are in the picture? Who are they?
范例：图里有五个人：一位老奶奶、一位老爷爷、一位老师、一个女生和一个男生。
tú lǐ yǒu wǔ gè rén yí wèi lǎo nǎi nai yí wèi lǎo yé ye yí wèi lǎo shī yí gè nǚ shēng hé yí gè nán shēng
There are five people: an old lady, an old man, a teacher, a girl and a boy.
老师：你怎么知道这里是老人院？
nǐ zěn me zhī dào zhè lǐ shì lǎo rén yuàn
How do you know this is an old folks' home?
范例：因为图里的牌子上写着“老人院”，而且两位老人坐在椅子上，有人来探访他们。
yīn wèi tú lǐ de pái zi shàng xiě zhe lǎo rén yuàn ér qiě liǎng wèi lǎo rén zuò zài yǐ zi shàng yǒu rén lái tàn fǎng tā men
Because the sign in the picture says "Old Folks' Home", and two old people are sitting in chairs while people come to visit them.
老师：他们接下来可能会和老人做什么？
tā men jiē xià lái kě néng huì hé lǎo rén zuò shén me
What might they do with the old people next?
范例：他们可能会和老爷爷一起下桌子上的跳棋，还会陪老奶奶聊天，唱歌给她听。
tā men kě néng huì hé lǎo yé ye yì qǐ xià zhuō zi shàng de tiào qí hái huì péi lǎo nǎi nai liáo tiān chàng gē gěi tā tīng
They might play the Chinese checkers on the table with the old man, and keep the old lady company, chatting and singing songs for her.
三、会话 Conversation
情景：在一段视频里，一位老奶奶一个人坐在组屋楼下，看着别人聊天，却没有人跟她说话。
zài yí duàn shì pín lǐ yí wèi lǎo nǎi nǎi yí gè rén zuò zài zǔ wū lóu xià kàn zhe bié rén liáo tiān què méi yǒu rén gēn tā shuō huà
In a video, an old woman sits alone downstairs at an HDB block, watching other people chat, but nobody talks to her.
老师：视频里的老奶奶怎么了？你觉得她有什么感受？
shì pín lǐ de lǎo nǎi nai zěn me le nǐ jué de tā yǒu shén me gǎn shòu
What is the matter with the old woman in the video? How do you think she feels?
范例：老奶奶一个人坐在楼下，没有人陪她。我觉得她很寂寞。也许她的家人都在工作，没有时间陪她。
lǎo nǎi nai yí gè rén zuò zài lóu xià méi yǒu rén péi tā wǒ jué de tā hěn jì mò yě xǔ tā de jiā rén dōu zài gōng zuò méi yǒu shí jiān péi tā
The old woman is sitting downstairs alone, with no one to keep her company. I think she feels lonely. Maybe her family are all at work and have no time for her.
💡 Describe what you see, then say how she feels and give a possible reason (也许……).
老师：如果你是她的邻居，你会怎么做？
rú guǒ nǐ shì tā de lín jū nǐ huì zěn me zuò
If you were her neighbour, what would you do?
范例：我会走过去，有礼貌地跟她打招呼，陪她聊聊天。我也可以请家人常常去看她。
wǒ huì zǒu guò qu yǒu lǐ mào de gēn tā dǎ zhāo hu péi tā liáo liao tiān wǒ yě kě yǐ qǐng jiā rén cháng cháng qù kàn tā
I would go over, greet her politely and chat with her. I could also ask my family to visit her often.
💡 Say what you would do, step by step, and add one more idea with 也可以.
老师：你认为年轻人应该怎样关心老人？
nǐ rèn wéi nián qīng rén yīng gāi zěn yàng guān xīn lǎo rén
How do you think young people should care for the elderly?
范例：我认为年轻人应该多花时间陪老人。首先，可以常常打电话问候他们。另外，周末可以带他们出去走走。最重要的是，要有耐心听他们说话。
wǒ rèn wéi nián qīng rén yīng gāi duō huā shí jiān péi lǎo rén shǒu xiān kě yǐ cháng cháng dǎ diàn huà wèn hòu tā men lìng wài zhōu mò kě yǐ dài tā men chū qu zǒu zou zuì zhòng yào de shì yào yǒu nài xīn tīng tā men shuō huà
I think young people should spend more time with the elderly. First, call them often to ask how they are. Also, take them out at the weekend. Most important of all, listen to them patiently.
💡 Give your view, then two or three ideas with 首先、另外、最重要的是.
老师：说一说你和祖父母一起做过的一件开心的事。
shuō yi shuō nǐ hé zǔ fù mǔ yì qǐ zuò guò de yí jiàn kāi xīn de shì
Talk about a happy time you had with your grandparents.
范例：上个月的假期，爷爷带我去植物园散步。他教我认识了很多植物，还给我讲他小时候的故事。我觉得那天过得特别开心，以后想常常陪他出去。
shàng ge yuè de jià qī yé ye dài wǒ qù zhí wù yuán sàn bù tā jiāo wǒ rèn shi le hěn duō zhí wù hái gěi wǒ jiǎng tā xiǎo shí hou de gù shi wǒ jué de nà tiān guò de tè bié kāi xīn yǐ hòu xiǎng cháng cháng péi tā chū qù
During last month's holiday, Grandpa took me for a walk at the Botanic Gardens. He taught me about many plants and told me stories from when he was little. It was an especially happy day, and I want to go out with him often.
💡 Tell a real experience: when, where, what happened and how you felt (时间、地点、经过、感受).
老师：你认为学校可以为社区里的老人做些什么？
nǐ rèn wéi xué xiào kě yǐ wèi shè qū lǐ de lǎo rén zuò xiē shén me
What do you think the school can do for the elderly in the community?
范例：我认为学校可以在节日的时候举办活动，请老人来学校看表演、吃午餐。另外，同学们可以给老人写贺卡，让他们知道有人关心他们。
wǒ rèn wéi xué xiào kě yǐ zài jié rì de shí hou jǔ bàn huó dòng qǐng lǎo rén lái xué xiào kàn biǎo yǎn chī wǔ cān lìng wài tóng xué men kě yǐ gěi lǎo rén xiě hè kǎ ràng tā men zhī dào yǒu rén guān xīn tā men
I think the school can hold events at festival times and invite the elderly to watch shows and have lunch. Also, students can write cards to the elderly so they know someone cares about them.
💡 Give two ideas, linked with 另外, and say how each one helps.
