Before you start tutor prep
開始前 · 給老師的兩分鐘準備
Take two minutes before your student joins. A calm, ready tutor helps a nervous student relax.
學生上線前先準備兩分鐘。老師從容，緊張的學生就會放鬆。
Test your camera and microphone.先測試你的鏡頭與麥克風。
Keep this page open — you will teach straight from it.這一頁保持開著，直接照著上課。
Have a glass of water nearby and smile when your student arrives.手邊放杯水，學生進來時先微笑。
Tap any 🔊 button to hear a word or phrase out loud.點任何 🔊 按鈕就能聽到該字或句子的發音。
Mindset: Don't over-correct. Let your student do about 70% of the talking. On this topic your student is the expert on Taiwan and you are the curious guest — ask "Really? Tell me more!" far more often than you correct grammar.
心法：別一直糾正。讓學生說大約七成的話。這個主題裡，學生是最懂台灣的人，你是好奇的客人——多問「真的嗎？多說一點！」，少改文法。
1 · Warm-up 5 min
暖身 · 輕鬆開場
Start gently. Ask these out loud and react warmly to every answer.
輕鬆開始。把問題念出來，對每個回答都熱情回應。
Do you like night markets? Why or why not?你喜歡夜市嗎？為什麼喜歡或不喜歡？
When did you last go to a night market? Who did you go with?你上次去夜市是什麼時候？跟誰去的？
Which night market is closest to your home?離你家最近的是哪個夜市？
What is one food you always look for at a night market?去夜市你一定會找的一樣食物是什麼？
Tip: If your student gives a short answer, gently echo it back as a question — "Oh, you went with your family? That sounds fun. What did you eat?" This keeps them talking.
小提醒：學生回答太短時，把它當成問題回問——「喔，你跟家人去？聽起來很棒，你們吃了什麼？」這樣能讓他繼續說。

Tip: Ask your student which of these foods they actually like or dislike. Real opinions ("I love stinky tofu, but my friend hates it!") produce far more natural speaking than drills.
小提醒：問學生這些食物他真正喜歡或討厭哪些。真實的意見（「我超愛臭豆腐，但我朋友很討厭！」）比反覆操練更能練出自然的口說。

Tip: When your student describes a dish, repeat it back in clean English ("So it's a soft pancake with oysters and egg, and it's a little sticky — got it!"). This gives gentle modeling without stopping their flow.
小提醒：學生描述一道菜時，用乾淨的英文複述一遍（「所以是一種軟軟的煎餅，加蚵仔和蛋，有點黏——懂了！」）。這樣能溫和示範，又不打斷他的節奏。
