情景导入
学校英语角本周的主题是 Pet Show(宠物秀),老师请大家用英语介绍自己最喜欢的动物朋友。
小舟家里养了一只叫"团子"的小猫,可他一开口只会说 It's cute. It's cute. 憋了半天说不出第二句。
其实描写动物有一条清晰的"路线图":先写它是谁、长什么样 → 再写它爱做什么 → 最后写你们之间的小故事和感情。这一讲我们就把这条路线走通,让你的动物朋友"活"在纸上。
核心词汇
动物与外貌:
| 类别 | 常用词汇 |
|---|---|
| 动物 | cat(猫)、dog(狗)、rabbit(兔子)、hamster(仓鼠)、parrot(鹦鹉)、goldfish(金鱼) |
| 外貌 | cute(可爱的)、fat(胖乎乎的)、white(白色的)、soft(柔软的)、big eyes(大眼睛)、short legs(短腿) |
| 习性 | sleep(睡觉)、jump(跳)、run after(追逐)、climb(爬)、eat fish(吃鱼) |
| 性格 | friendly(友好的)、smart(聪明的)、lazy(懒的)、quiet(安静的)、lovely(讨人喜欢的) |
句型与结构
三段式结构:
- 开头段(它是谁):I have a pet cat. Its name is Tuanzi. (介绍动物 + 名字)
- 主体段(长相 + 习性):先外貌后习惯——It is white and fat. It has big eyes. It likes sleeping in the sun. It often plays with a ball.
- 结尾段(感情):We are good friends. It makes me happy every day. I love it very much.
核心语法:一般现在时(描写习性专用):
- 主语是 it,动词要加 -s / -es:It likes fish. It catches the ball.
- 频度副词表习惯:It often sleeps in the afternoon. It always waits for me at the door.
提分句型:
- have/has 句型:It has two long ears and a short tail.(它有两只长耳朵和一条短尾巴。)
- like doing:It likes chasing butterflies in the park near the West Lake.(它喜欢在西湖边的公园里追蝴蝶。)
- when 时间从句:When I come home, it runs to me at once.(我一到家,它就立刻跑向我。)
听说训练
写前口头操练(先说顺再下笔):
- I have a pet cat and its name is Tuanzi. (我有一只宠物猫,名叫团子。)
- It is white and it has big blue eyes. (它是白色的,有一双蓝色的大眼睛。)
- It likes sleeping in the sun on the balcony. (它喜欢在阳台上晒太阳睡觉。)
辨析对比
| 词 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| it | 它(主语/宾语) | It is very cute. I love it. |
| its | 它的(形容词性物主代词) | Its name is Tuanzi. Its tail is short. |
| it's | it is 的缩写 | It's a lovely cat. = It is a lovely cat. |
口诀:写"它的名字/它的尾巴"用 its,不带撇号;it's 一定能还原成 it is,不能还原就写错了。
文化角
英语国家的人常把宠物当作家庭成员(a member of the family),所以会用 he / she 来称呼自己的宠物,比如 She is my best friend.(指自家的狗)。在作文里,对不熟悉的动物用 it,对自家宠物用 he / she 会显得更有感情。另外,英语里有很多动物习语:as busy as a bee(像蜜蜂一样忙)、rain cats and dogs(下倾盆大雨),积累一两个用在作文里很出彩。
易错点
- 三单漏加 -s:It like fish ❌ → It likes fish ✅,主语是 it 时动词必须加 -s。
- its 写成 it's:It's name is Tuanzi ❌ → Its name is Tuanzi ✅。
- 只堆外貌不写习性:整篇都是 It is cute. It is white.——记得写"它常做什么",文章才有内容。
- have/has 用错:It have big eyes ❌ → It has big eyes ✅。
中考真题
假如你是李华,学校英语报正在开展 My Animal Friend 征文活动。请写一篇短文介绍你的动物朋友,内容包括:
- 它是什么动物,长什么样;
- 它有什么生活习惯或本领;
- 你和它之间的感情。
要求:70 词左右,可适当发挥。

诵读 Read Aloud
I have an animal friend. It is a white cat and its name is Tuanzi.
Tuanzi is fat and cute. It has big blue eyes and a short tail. It likes sleeping in the sun on our balcony. When I come home from school, it always runs to the door and waits for me. Sometimes we play with a small ball together in the park near the West Lake.
Tuanzi makes me happy every day. We are good friends and I love it very much.
诵读小贴士:背诵时注意"骨架"——第一段一句话介绍,第二段外貌两句 + 习性三句,第三段感情收尾。三单动词 likes、runs、waits、makes 读重一点,把 -s 的音读出来,写的时候就不容易漏。
