情景导入
开学第一天,小雨在杭州学军小学的教室里遇到了新的英语老师。下课后,同桌小杰好奇地问:"What's the new teacher like?"(新老师是什么样的?)
小雨想了想:"He's tall and thin. He's very funny! 他上课会讲笑话,但要求也很严格——He's strict, too."
小杰又问:"Is he old?"(他年纪大吗?)"No, he isn't. He's young."(不,他很年轻。)问人物的性格外貌、用形容词描述一个人——这一课全学会。
核心词汇
性格与外貌类:
| 单词 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| old | 年老的 | Mr Wang is old. |
| young | 年轻的 | Our teacher is young. |
| funny | 滑稽有趣的 | He is very funny. |
| kind | 和蔼的 | Miss Li is kind. |
| strict | 严格的 | My father is strict. |
| polite | 有礼貌的 | She is a polite girl. |
| hard-working | 勤奋的 | He is hard-working. |
| helpful | 乐于助人的 | My friend is helpful. |
| shy | 害羞的 | The girl is shy. |
句型与语法
第一步:问"他是什么样的人?"——What's he/she like?
- What's your English teacher like? (你的英语老师是什么样的?)
- — He's kind and funny. (他和蔼又风趣。)
- 注意:这里的 like 是介词"像",不是"喜欢"!
第二步:追问确认——Is he/she + 形容词?
- Is he strict? (他严格吗?)
- — Yes, he is. / No, he isn't. (肯定和否定回答要用 is。)
描述人物的万能公式:
- She is young and polite. (两个形容词用 and 连接;想说"有时",加 sometimes:He is sometimes strict.)
听说训练
猜老师游戏(和同伴问答):
- A: What's she like? (她是什么样的?)
- B: She's tall and kind. She often takes us to the West Lake for drawing. (她又高又和蔼,常带我们去西湖写生。)
- A: Is she strict? (她严格吗?)
- B: Yes, sometimes. But we all like her. (有时严格,但我们都喜欢她。)
夸夸好朋友:My friend Chen Jie is clever and helpful. What's your friend like?
辨析对比
- What's he like? 中的 like 是介词,问"他是什么样的人"——回答用形容词:He's funny.
- What does he like? 中的 like 是动词"喜欢",问"他喜欢什么"——回答用名词:He likes football.
- 一字之差,答案完全不同:听力时抓住 is 还是 does 就不会错;old — young、strict — kind 这两对词常一起出现,成对记忆。
文化角
在英语国家,学生常直接称呼老师 Mr / Miss / Mrs + 姓,比如 Mr Smith、Miss Green,一般不说"Teacher Smith"。西方小学每年还有 Teacher Appreciation Week(谢师周),孩子们写卡片夸老师:You are so kind and helpful! 用形容词真诚地赞美别人,是很受欢迎的社交习惯——在杭州,我们教师节送上一句"Thank you, my kind teacher!"同样温暖。
易错点
- 把 like 当"喜欢":What's he like? 答成 He likes music. ❌ → 应答 He is kind. ✅
- 形容词前多加 a:He is a funny. ❌ → He is funny. ✅(没有名词就不要 a)
- is 和 does 混用:Is he strict? 答 Yes, he does. ❌ → Yes, he is. ✅(hard-working 中间的连字符也别丢)
考点
- What's he/she like? 与 What does he/she like? 的辨析(听力、单选必考);
- 形容词拼写:strict / polite / hard-working / helpful(高频听写词);
- Is he...? 一般疑问句的肯定与否定回答(Yes, he is. / No, he isn't.);
- 用 and 连接两个形容词描述人物(写话高频句式)。
