Tutoring: Weather & Seasons · 天氣與季節

Before you start tutor prep

開始前 · 給老師的兩分鐘準備

This page is everything you need. Skim it once before the call, then teach straight from the screen. Nothing to print, nothing to download. 這一頁就是你需要的全部。通話前先快速看過一遍，然後直接照著螢幕上課。不用列印，也不用下載。

Open this page in a tab next to your Google Meet window so you can read and share at the same time.把這一頁開在 Google Meet 視窗旁邊的分頁，這樣你能同時閱讀和分享畫面。
Test your microphone and camera a minute or two early. A clear voice matters most for a listening lesson.提早一兩分鐘測試麥克風和鏡頭。聽力課最重要的就是聲音清楚。
Have a notepad ready (paper or a blank doc) to jot down new words your student wants and any small fixes to mention at the end.準備好一本筆記本（紙本或空白文件），記下學生想學的新單字，以及課末要提到的小修正。
Tap any 🔊 button to hear a word or line read aloud. Use it to model pronunciation when your student needs a clear example.點任何 🔊 按鈕就能聽到該字或句子的發音。學生需要清楚的範例時，用它來示範發音。
Think of two or three quick facts about the weather and seasons where you live — you will share these as a culture exchange.想兩三個關於你居住地天氣與季節的小事——你會把這些當成文化交流分享出來。

Mindset: Your job is to get your student talking, not to be perfect. Aim for them to speak most of the time. Smile, slow down, and let silences breathe — give them a few seconds to find the words before you help. 心法：你的任務是讓學生開口，而不是表現完美。讓學生說大部分的話。微笑、放慢、讓沉默有空間——在你出手幫忙前，先給他幾秒鐘找字。

1 · Warm-up 5 min

暖身 · 輕鬆開場

Start light and friendly. Let your student settle in by talking about something they can see right outside their window. 輕鬆友善地開始。讓學生從聊窗外看得到的東西慢慢進入狀況。

What's the weather like where you are today?你那裡今天天氣怎麼樣？
Is it hot or cold right now?現在是熱還是冷？
Is it sunny or cloudy outside?外面是晴天還是陰天？
Do you like today's weather? Why or why not?你喜歡今天的天氣嗎？為什麼喜歡或不喜歡？
What time is it for you? Is it morning or evening?你那裡現在幾點？是早上還是晚上？

Tip: Answer one question about yourself first to model the language and break the ice. For example, "It's rainy and cool here today — how about you?" Keep your own answers short so the focus stays on your student. 小提醒：先回答一題關於你自己的問題，示範語言並破冰。例如「我這裡今天又下雨又涼——你呢？」自己的回答保持簡短，把焦點留給學生。

2 · Key words & phrases 8 min

關鍵單字與句子 · 點 🔊 帶讀

Read each word aloud, then have your student repeat it. Tap 🔊 if you want a clear model. Use the example sentence to show how the word works in real talk. 把每個字念出來，再請學生跟著念。需要清楚範例時就點 🔊。用例句示範這個字在真實對話中怎麼用。

weather天氣 How is the weather today?
sunny晴朗的 It is sunny, so let's go outside.
rainy下雨的 On rainy days I stay home and read.
cloudy多雲的；陰天的 The sky is cloudy and gray today.
windy有風的；風大的 It is very windy near the ocean.
hot炎熱的 Summer in Taiwan is really hot.
cold寒冷的 It gets cold here in the winter.
spring春天 Flowers bloom in the spring.
summer夏天 We swim a lot in the summer.
fall秋天 In the fall the leaves turn red.
winter冬天 Some places get snow in the winter.
season季節 There are four seasons in a year.
It is ___ today今天天氣＿＿＿ It is windy today.
My favorite season is ___我最喜歡的季節是＿＿＿ My favorite season is fall.

Tip: Don't drill all the words at once. Say each one, have your student repeat, then ask a quick question with it — "Is it sunny or cloudy where you are?" That turns vocabulary into a tiny conversation. 小提醒：別一次操練所有單字。念一個，請學生跟著念，再用它問個小問題——「你那裡是晴天還是陰天？」這樣就把單字變成了一段小對話。

3 · Read & talk 8 min

讀與說 · 你念 A，學生念 B，再交換

Read this short chat together. You take A, your student takes B, then switch roles. Tap 🔊 on any line your student wants to hear first. 一起念這段簡短對話。你念 A，學生念 B，然後交換角色。學生想先聽哪一句，就點那句的 🔊。

Hi! How is the weather in your city today?

嗨！你的城市今天天氣怎麼樣？

It is hot and sunny. It is summer here. How about you?

又熱又晴。我這裡是夏天。你呢？

It is cold and rainy. Winter is starting in my city.

又冷又下雨。我的城市冬天剛開始。

Wow, our seasons are different! Does it snow there?

哇，我們的季節不一樣耶！你那裡會下雪嗎？

Yes, sometimes. I love the snow. What is your favorite season?

會，有時候。我很愛雪。你最喜歡的季節是什麼？

My favorite season is spring. The weather is warm and the flowers bloom.

我最喜歡春天。天氣溫暖，花也開了。

That sounds nice. What do you do on rainy days?

聽起來很棒。下雨天你都做什麼？

I stay home and drink hot tea. What about you?

我待在家喝熱茶。你呢？

I read a book by the window. Rainy days are calm and quiet.

我在窗邊看書。下雨天既平靜又安靜。

Tip: After reading both roles, close the dialogue and ask the same questions about your student's real life. The script is just a warm-up for the real conversation that follows. 小提醒：兩個角色都念過後，把對話收起來，用同樣的問題問學生真實的生活。腳本只是接下來真正對話的暖身。

4 · Let's talk 12 min

換你說 · 依程度選一組，讓學生主導

Pick the level that fits your student and ask the questions slowly. Follow their answers with "Why?" and "Tell me more." Move up a level if it feels easy. 選擇適合學生的程度，慢慢提問。在他回答後追問「為什麼？」和「再多說一點」。如果太簡單就往上加一級。

BEGINNER 初級

Is it hot or cold today?今天是熱還是冷？
Is it sunny, rainy, or cloudy now?現在是晴天、雨天還是陰天？

Tip: This is a two-way topic, so share your own answers too. When your student hears how a sunny day looks in your country, they get real listening practice and a little culture exchange at the same time. 小提醒：這是雙向的主題，所以也分享你自己的回答。當學生聽到你國家的晴天是什麼樣子，他既得到真實的聽力練習，也順便做了一點文化交流。

5 · Going deeper 10 min

再深入一點 · 比較、解釋、描述

Now push for longer answers. These questions ask your student to compare, explain, and describe. Give them time to build full sentences. 現在引導他說更長的回答。這些問題要學生去比較、解釋和描述。給他時間造出完整的句子。

If you could live in one season all year, which would you choose and what would you give up?如果你可以一整年都活在同一個季節，你會選哪個？又要放棄什麼？
How do the seasons shape the food people eat or the festivals they hold in Taiwan?季節如何形塑台灣人吃的食物或舉辦的節慶？
How is the weather in your city changing compared to when you were a child?和你小時候相比，你城市的天氣有什麼變化？

Tip: When your student finishes an answer, repeat their idea back in clean English before adding your own. "So you feel sleepy on rainy days — me too." This confirms you understood and gives them a correct model without sounding like a correction. 小提醒：學生回答完後，先用乾淨的英文把他的意思複述一遍，再補上你自己的看法。「所以你下雨天會想睡——我也是。」這既確認你聽懂了，又給了正確的示範，聽起來又不像在糾正。

6 · Activity — be the weather reporter 10 min

活動 · 當氣象主播

Time to put it all together. Your student becomes a TV weather reporter, then plans a fun activity for each season. Keep it playful. 該把所學全部串起來了。學生先當電視氣象主播，再為每個季節規劃一個好玩的活動。保持輕鬆好玩。

Ask your student to give a short weather report for today, in three or four sentences.請學生用三到四句話做一段今天的簡短氣象播報。
Then have them report the weather for tomorrow. Encourage a guess: "Tomorrow it will be ___."接著請他播報明天的天氣。鼓勵他猜：「明天會是＿＿＿。」
Now go through the four seasons. For each one, your student plans one activity to do in that weather.接著走過四個季節。每一個季節，請學生規劃一個適合那種天氣的活動。
Take a turn yourself as the reporter so your student gets more listening practice — and compare your countries.你自己也輪流當主播，讓學生多練聽力——順便比較你們兩國的情況。

Good evening! Today the weather is ___ and ___.

Tomorrow it will be ___, so bring an ___.

In spring, the weather is ___, so I like to ___.

In summer it is ___, so I want to ___.

In fall and winter it gets ___, so I usually ___.

Tip: If your student is shy, do the first report yourself as a model, then hand them the microphone. A silly weather-reporter voice often relaxes a nervous learner and gets real laughs and real sentences. 小提醒：如果學生害羞，第一段播報你先做示範，再把麥克風交給他。一個搞笑的氣象主播聲調常常能讓緊張的學習者放鬆，逗出真正的笑聲和真正的句子。

7 · Wrap-up 5 min

收尾 · 溫暖鼓勵地結束

Finish on a warm, encouraging note. Help your student notice what they learned and leave them wanting to come back. 用溫暖、鼓勵的方式結束。幫學生看見自己學到了什麼，並讓他期待下次再來。

Ask them to watch the weather this week and report back next time.請他這週留意天氣，下次回來報告。

Tip: End by saying what you enjoyed in the conversation, not just what to fix. "I loved hearing about rainy days in your city" sends your student off feeling confident and eager for the next lesson. 小提醒：結束時說說你在對話中喜歡的部分，而不只是要修正的地方。「我好喜歡聽你講你城市的雨天」會讓學生帶著自信離開，期待下一堂課。
