在学本场景三组对话前,可以先围绕穿校服的利弊,用中文和孩子展开讨论,看谁的观点更有说服力。这样做不但有助于理解对话的含义,还可以锻炼孩子思考问题的能力。
——It's good for students to wear uniforms.
学生穿校服好。
——I agree. We don't have to choose what to wear every day.
我同意,我们不必每天选择穿什么。
for对于 agree同意 have to必须 choose选择
what to wear是“穿什么”,其他常见的用法还有:I don't know what to do / what to say / what to read / what to choose. (我不知道该做什么/说什么/读什么/选什么)。
——When students wear uniforms to school, no one can tell
who has more money.
学生穿校服上学,没人看得出来谁更有钱。
——Yes, it can avoid fashion competition.
是的,这样可以避免攀比时髦。
money金钱 avoid避免 fashion时尚,时髦 competition比赛,竞争
这组对话单词有难度,句子也较长,如果孩子掌握不了,只要能听懂就okay了。学其他句子碰到同样问题时,也可一样对待:能说最好,不能说,听懂也是进步。
穿校服的那天,别忘了一边穿校服,一边替自己挣分哟:
I don't like school uniforms. Everybody wears the same thing.
我不喜欢校服,每个人穿得都一样。
也可以这样说:
I like school uniforms. We don't have to choose what to wear every day.
我喜欢校服,我们不必每天选择穿什么。
