開始前 · 給老師的兩分鐘準備
This lesson runs itself. You don't need to know anything about bubble tea — your student does, and that's the point. Skim this page once, then teach straight from the screen.
這堂課會自己運轉。你不用懂任何珍奶的事——學生懂，這正是重點。把這一頁瀏覽一遍，就直接照著螢幕上課。
Have this page open and your camera on. Smile and keep your energy warm.這一頁保持開著、鏡頭打開。微笑，保持溫暖的活力。
Tap any 🔊 button to play clean English audio — great for modeling pronunciation.點任何 🔊 按鈕就能播放清晰的英語發音——很適合示範發音。
Let the student do most of the talking. You are the curious listener and the gentle corrector.讓學生說大部分的話。你是好奇的聆聽者，也是溫和的糾正者。
Don't rush. If one section sparks a great conversation, stay there. The minute counts are a guide, not a rule.別趕。如果某一段引出了很棒的對話，就停在那裡。標的分鐘數只是參考，不是規定。
Keep a notepad (or the chat box) handy to jot down words the student struggles with for the wrap-up.手邊備好紙筆（或聊天框），把學生卡住的字記下來，留到收尾用。
Mindset: The student is the expert today. Your job is to make them feel proud of their culture while gently stretching their English. Ask "Why?" and "Tell me more" often.
心法：今天學生是專家。你的任務是讓他為自己的文化感到驕傲，同時溫和地延展他的英文。多問「為什麼？」和「再多說一點」。
1 · Warm-up 5 min
暖身 · 輕鬆開場
Start easy and friendly. These questions warm up the voice and get the student smiling. Let them answer in full sentences when they can.

Tip: If the student gives a one-word answer, smile and ask "Oh, why that one?" to pull out a longer reply. Don't correct yet — just get them talking.
小提醒：學生只回一個字時，微笑著問「喔，為什麼是那個？」引出更長的回答。先別糾正——讓他先開口說。

6 · Activity — role-play ordering 10 min
活動 · 點餐角色扮演
Time to put it all together. The student orders a fully customized drink out loud. Then swap roles so they practice both sides.

Tip: Make a small "mistake" in your order (wrong size or topping) so the student has to correct you: "No, I said large, not small." Real conversations are full of these little fixes.
小提醒：在你的訂單裡故意犯個小「錯」（弄錯大小或配料），讓學生得糾正你：「不對，我說的是大杯，不是小杯。」真實對話裡到處都是這種小修正。
