热身 Warm-up
关灯省电好习惯，抬头星星看得见。
guān dēng shěng diàn hǎo xí guàn tái tóu xīng xīng kàn de jiàn
Switching off lights saves power, a good habit; look up and you can see the stars.
一、朗读 Read aloud
上个月，学校的科学课教了星星和月亮的知识。
shàng gè yuè xué xiào de kē xué kè jiào le xīng xīng hé yuè liàng de zhī shi
Last month, our science lessons taught us about the stars and the moon.
我很好奇，就请爸爸带我去公园看星星。
wǒ hěn hào qí jiù qǐng bà ba dài wǒ qù gōng yuán kàn xīng xīng
I was very curious, so I asked Dad to take me to the park to look at the stars.
那天晚上，爸爸带了一架望远镜。
nà tiān wǎn shang bà ba dài le yí jià wàng yuǎn jìng
That night, Dad brought a telescope.
我们到了公园才发现，附近的组屋和路灯太亮了，只能看到几颗星星。
wǒ men dào le gōng yuán cái fā xiàn fù jìn de zǔ wū hé lù dēng tài liàng le zhǐ néng kàn dào jǐ kē xīng xīng
Only when we reached the park did we find that the nearby blocks and street lamps were too bright; we could see just a few stars.
爸爸告诉我，城市里的灯光太多，星星就被遮住了，这叫作光污染。
bà ba gào su wǒ chéng shì lǐ de dēng guāng tài duō xīng xīng jiù bèi zhē zhù le zhè jiào zuò guāng wū rǎn
Dad told me that with too much light in the city, the stars get hidden; this is called light pollution.
我从望远镜里看月亮，看到月亮上有很多圆圆的坑，真神奇！
wǒ cóng wàng yuǎn jìng lǐ kàn yuè liàng kàn dào yuè liàng shàng yǒu hěn duō yuán yuán de kēng zhēn shén qí
I looked at the moon through the telescope and saw lots of round craters on it. Amazing!
回家的路上，我想，如果大家都随手关灯，不但可以节省电，还能看到更多星星。
huí jiā de lù shang wǒ xiǎng rú guǒ dà jiā dōu suí shǒu guān dēng bú dàn kě yǐ jié shěng diàn hái néng kàn dào gèng duō xīng xīng
On the way home I thought: if everyone switched off lights they don't need, we could not only save power but also see more stars.
从那天起，我离开房间的时候，都会记得关灯。
cóng nà tiān qǐ wǒ lí kāi fáng jiān de shí hou dōu huì jì de guān dēng
Since that day, I always remember to switch off the light when I leave my room.
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：这是晚上的公园。天上有一个又大又圆的月亮，还有很多星星，有几颗星星连成了一个图案。一个穿橙色衣服的男孩正在用望远镜看天空，他的爸爸穿着蓝色的衣服，站在旁边陪着他。公园里有一棵大树和一盏路灯，远处的组屋窗户都亮着灯。
zhè shì wǎn shang de gōng yuán tiān shàng yǒu yí gè yòu dà yòu yuán de yuè liàng hái yǒu hěn duō xīng xīng yǒu jǐ kē xīng xīng lián chéng le yí gè tú àn yí gè chuān chéng sè yī fu de nán hái zhèng zài yòng wàng yuǎn jìng kàn tiān kōng tā de bà ba chuān zhe lán sè de yī fu zhàn zài páng biān péi zhe tā gōng yuán lǐ yǒu yì kē dà shù hé yì zhǎn lù dēng yuǎn chù de zǔ wū chuāng hu dōu liàng zhe dēng
This is a park at night. In the sky there is a big round moon and lots of stars, and some stars are joined up into a pattern. A boy in orange is looking at the sky through a telescope, and his dad, dressed in blue, stands beside him. In the park there is a big tree and a street lamp, and the windows of the blocks in the distance are all lit up.
老师：男孩在用什么看天空？这个东西有什么用？
nán hái zài yòng shén me kàn tiān kōng zhè ge dōng xi yǒu shén me yòng
What is the boy using to look at the sky? What is it for?
范例：男孩在用望远镜看天空。望远镜可以把很远的东西放大，让我们看得更清楚，比如月亮上的坑和天上的星星。
nán hái zài yòng wàng yuǎn jìng kàn tiān kōng wàng yuǎn jìng kě yǐ bǎ hěn yuǎn de dōng xi fàng dà ràng wǒ men kàn de gèng qīng chu bǐ rú yuè liàng shàng de kēng hé tiān shàng de xīng xīng
The boy is using a telescope. A telescope makes faraway things bigger so we can see them more clearly, like the craters on the moon and the stars in the sky.
老师：你觉得今天晚上的天气怎么样？为什么？
nǐ jué de jīn tiān wǎn shang de tiān qì zěn me yàng wèi shén me
What do you think the weather is like tonight? Why?
范例：我觉得今天晚上的天气很好，因为天上没有云，我们可以清楚地看到月亮和星星。如果是阴天或者下雨，就看不到星星了。
wǒ jué de jīn tiān wǎn shang de tiān qì hěn hǎo yīn wèi tiān shàng méi yǒu yún wǒ men kě yǐ qīng chu de kàn dào yuè liàng hé xīng xīng rú guǒ shì yīn tiān huò zhě xià yǔ jiù kàn bú dào xīng xīng le
I think the weather is fine tonight, because there are no clouds in the sky and we can see the moon and stars clearly. If it were cloudy or raining, we couldn't see the stars.
老师：图中有哪些灯光？它们对看星星有什么影响？
tú zhōng yǒu nǎ xiē dēng guāng tā men duì kàn xīng xīng yǒu shén me yǐng xiǎng
What lights are there in the picture? How do they affect stargazing?
范例：图中有路灯，还有远处组屋窗户里的灯光。这些灯光太亮的话，会让天空不够黑，我们就看不清楚天上的星星了。
tú zhōng yǒu lù dēng hái yǒu yuǎn chù zǔ wū chuāng hu lǐ de dēng guāng zhè xiē dēng guāng tài liàng de huà huì ràng tiān kōng bú gòu hēi wǒ men jiù kàn bù qīng chǔ tiān shàng de xīng xīng le
There is a street lamp in the picture, and light from the windows of the blocks far away. If these lights are too bright, the sky isn't dark enough and we can't see the stars clearly.
老师：你觉得男孩看完星星以后会做什么？
nǐ jué de nán hái kàn wán xīng xīng yǐ hòu huì zuò shén me
What do you think the boy will do after stargazing?
范例：我想他会把看到的月亮和星星画下来，第二天带到学校和同学分享。他可能还会到图书馆借有关星星的书，学习更多天文知识。
wǒ xiǎng tā huì bǎ kàn dào de yuè liàng hé xīng xīng huà xià lai dì èr tiān dài dào xué xiào hé tóng xué fēn xiǎng tā kě néng hái huì dào tú shū guǎn jiè yǒu guān xīng xīng de shū xué xí gèng duō tiān wén zhī shi
I think he will draw the moon and stars he saw and bring the drawing to school the next day to share with his classmates. He may also borrow books about stars from the library to learn more about astronomy.
老师：如果你和家人去公园看星星，你会准备什么东西？
rú guǒ nǐ hé jiā rén qù gōng yuán kàn xīng xīng nǐ huì zhǔn bèi shén me dōng xi
If you went stargazing in the park with your family, what would you bring?
范例：如果我和家人去公园看星星，我会准备一架望远镜、一张垫子和一瓶防蚊液，因为晚上的公园可能有很多蚊子。我也会带一个手电筒，走路的时候比较安全。
rú guǒ wǒ hé jiā rén qù gōng yuán kàn xīng xīng wǒ huì zhǔn bèi yí jià wàng yuǎn jìng yì zhāng diàn zi hé yì píng fáng wén yè yīn wèi wǎn shang de gōng yuán kě néng yǒu hěn duō wén zi wǒ yě huì dài yí gè shǒu diàn tǒng zǒu lù de shí hou bǐ jiào ān quán
If I went stargazing in the park with my family, I would bring a telescope, a mat and a bottle of insect repellent, because there may be lots of mosquitoes in the park at night. I would also bring a torch, so it's safer when we walk.
三、会话 Conversation
情景：在一段视频里，一个女孩离开房间时没有关灯，冷气和电视也一直开着。
zài yí duàn shì pín lǐ yí gè nǚ hái lí kāi fáng jiān shí méi yǒu guān dēng lěng qì hé diàn shì yě yì zhí kāi zhe
In a video, a girl leaves her room without switching off the light, and the air-con and TV are left on too.
老师：你对视频里女孩的做法有什么看法？
nǐ duì shì pín lǐ nǚ hái de zuò fǎ yǒu shén me kàn fǎ
What do you think of what the girl in the video did?
范例：我认为她的做法很浪费。离开房间的时候没有关灯、关冷气，不但浪费电，还要多付电费。而且，发电会产生很多废气，对环境也不好。我们应该养成随手关电器的好习惯。
wǒ rèn wéi tā de zuò fǎ hěn làng fèi lí kāi fáng jiān de shí hou méi yǒu guān dēng guān lěng qì bú dàn làng fèi diàn hái yào duō fù diàn fèi ér qiě fā diàn huì chǎn shēng hěn duō fèi qì duì huán jìng yě bù hǎo wǒ men yīng gāi yǎng chéng suí shǒu guān diàn qì de hǎo xí guàn
I think what she did is wasteful. Not switching off the light and air-con when leaving the room wastes power and means paying more for electricity. Also, making electricity produces a lot of fumes, which is bad for the environment. We should get into the habit of switching off appliances.
💡 Give your view first, then explain why with one or two reasons.
老师：说一说你和家人一起做的一件有趣的事。
shuō yi shuō nǐ hé jiā rén yì qǐ zuò de yí jiàn yǒu qù de shì
Tell us about something fun you did with your family.
范例：去年学校假期，爸爸妈妈带我去滨海湾花园。晚上，我们坐在草地上看超级树的灯光表演，五颜六色的灯光跟着音乐一闪一闪的，美极了。那天晚上，我们一家人有说有笑，我觉得非常幸福。
qù nián xué xiào jià qī bà ba mā ma dài wǒ qù bīn hǎi wān huā yuán wǎn shang wǒ men zuò zài cǎo dì shàng kàn chāo jí shù de dēng guāng biǎo yǎn wǔ yán liù sè de dēng guāng gēn zhe yīn yuè yì shǎn yi shǎn de měi jí le nà tiān wǎn shang wǒ men yì jiā rén yǒu shuō yǒu xiào wǒ jué de fēi cháng xìng fú
Last school holiday, Mum and Dad took me to Gardens by the Bay. At night we sat on the grass and watched the Supertree light show; the colourful lights twinkled along with the music, and it was beautiful. That night our family talked and laughed, and I felt very happy.
💡 Tell it in order: when, where, what happened, and how you felt.
老师：你认为我们在家里可以怎样节省用电？
nǐ rèn wéi wǒ men zài jiā lǐ kě yǐ zěn yàng jié shěng yòng diàn
How do you think we can save electricity at home?
范例：我认为我们可以随手关灯，不用的电器要拔掉插头。另外，冷气的温度不要开得太低，二十五度就够了。最重要的是，全家人要互相提醒，一起养成节约用电的好习惯。
wǒ rèn wéi wǒ men kě yǐ suí shǒu guān dēng bú yòng de diàn qì yào bá diào chā tóu lìng wài lěng qì de wēn dù bú yào kāi de tài dī èr shí wǔ dù jiù gòu le zuì zhòng yào de shì quán jiā rén yào hù xiāng tí xǐng yì qǐ yǎng chéng jié yuē yòng diàn de hǎo xí guàn
I think we can switch off lights as we go and unplug appliances we aren't using. Also, don't set the air-con too low; twenty-five degrees is enough. Most importantly, the whole family should remind each other and build the good habit of saving electricity together.
💡 Give two or three ideas and say how each one helps.
老师：你觉得小学生为什么要学习科学知识？
nǐ jué de xiǎo xué shēng wèi shén me yào xué xí kē xué zhī shi
Why do you think primary pupils should learn science?
范例：我觉得学习科学知识很重要。它可以帮助我们了解身边的世界，比如为什么会下雨、星星为什么会发光。另外，学好科学，长大以后也许可以发明新东西，帮助更多的人。
wǒ jué de xué xí kē xué zhī shi hěn zhòng yào tā kě yǐ bāng zhù wǒ men liǎo jiě shēn biān de shì jiè bǐ rú wèi shén me huì xià yǔ xīng xīng wèi shén me huì fā guāng lìng wài xué hǎo kē xué zhǎng dà yǐ hòu yě xǔ kě yǐ fā míng xīn dōng xi bāng zhù gèng duō de rén
I think learning science is very important. It helps us understand the world around us, such as why it rains and why stars shine. Also, if we learn science well, when we grow up we might invent new things and help more people.
💡 Give your view and back it up with two reasons.
