一、朗读 Read aloud
每年七月,我们学校都会庆祝种族和谐日。
měi nián qī yuè wǒ men xué xiào dōu huì qìng zhù zhǒng zú hé xié rì
Every July, our school celebrates Racial Harmony Day.
那天,同学们都穿上了自己民族的传统服装来上学。
nà tiān tóng xué men dōu chuān shàng le zì jǐ mín zú de chuán tǒng fú zhuāng lái shàng xué
That day, everyone came to school in their own traditional costume.
我穿着旗袍,好朋友莎拉穿着马来传统服装,阿伦穿着印度传统服装。
wǒ chuān zhe qí páo hǎo péng you shā lā chuān zhe mǎ lái chuán tǒng fú zhuāng ā lún chuān zhe yìn dù chuán tǒng fú zhuāng
I wore a cheongsam, my good friend Sarah wore a traditional Malay costume, and Arun wore a traditional Indian costume.
休息时,大家把带来的食物摆在桌子上,有年糕、马来糕点和印度煎饼。
xiū xi shí dà jiā bǎ dài lái de shí wù bǎi zài zhuō zi shàng yǒu nián gāo mǎ lái gāo diǎn hé yìn dù jiān bǐng
At recess, everyone set out the food they had brought on the table: rice cake, Malay kuih and Indian prata.
莎拉教我用马来语说“谢谢”,我也教她用华语说“新年快乐”。
shā lā jiāo wǒ yòng mǎ lái yǔ shuō xiè xie wǒ yě jiāo tā yòng huá yǔ shuō xīn nián kuài lè
Sarah taught me to say "thank you" in Malay, and I taught her to say "Happy New Year" in Mandarin.
我们一边吃,一边聊各自的节日。
wǒ men yì biān chī yì biān liáo gè zì de jié rì
We chatted about our own festivals while we ate.
我发现,虽然我们的习俗不一样,但是大家都很重视家人团聚。
wǒ fā xiàn suī rán wǒ men de xí sú bù yí yàng dàn shì dà jiā dōu hěn zhòng shì jiā rén tuán jù
I found that although our customs are different, we all care a lot about family getting together.
新加坡是一个多元种族的国家,只有互相尊重、互相了解,大家才能和谐相处。
xīn jiā pō shì yí gè duō yuán zhǒng zú de guó jiā zhǐ yǒu hù xiāng zūn zhòng hù xiāng liǎo jiě dà jiā cái néng hé xié xiāng chǔ
Singapore is a multiracial country. Only when we respect and understand each other can we all live in harmony.
二、看图说话 Talk about the picture
老师:请你说一说图里的情景。
qǐng nǐ shuō yi shuō tú lǐ de qíng jǐng
Please describe what is happening in the picture.
范例:这是开斋节的时候。屋子里挂着彩旗,桌子上摆着一盘马来粽子和一碗热腾腾的菜。一位阿姨带着女儿,提着一篮水果来做客。主人和她的女儿笑着欢迎她们。
zhè shì kāi zhāi jié de shí hou wū zi lǐ guà zhe cǎi qí zhuō zi shàng bǎi zhe yì pán mǎ lái zòng zi hé yì wǎn rè téng téng de cài yí wèi ā yí dài zhe nǚ ér tí zhe yì lán shuǐ guǒ lái zuò kè zhǔ rén hé tā de nǚ ér xiào zhe huān yíng tā men
It is Hari Raya. Coloured flags hang in the room, and on the table are a plate of ketupat and a bowl of a steaming dish. An auntie has come to visit with her daughter, carrying a basket of fruit. The host and her daughter are smiling and welcoming them.
老师:你怎么知道这是开斋节?
nǐ zěn me zhī dào zhè shì kāi zhāi jié
How do you know this is Hari Raya?
范例:因为图里的女孩用马来语说“开斋节快乐”,桌子上还有用椰叶编的马来粽子,这是开斋节常吃的食物。
yīn wèi tú lǐ de nǚ hái yòng mǎ lái yǔ shuō kāi zhāi jié kuài lè zhuō zi shàng hái yǒu yòng yē yè biān de mǎ lái zòng zi zhè shì kāi zhāi jié cháng chī de shí wù
Because the girl in the picture is saying "Happy Hari Raya" in Malay, and on the table there is ketupat woven from coconut leaves, a food often eaten at Hari Raya.
老师:客人为什么提着一篮水果?
kè rén wèi shén me tí zhe yì lán shuǐ guǒ
Why are the guests carrying a basket of fruit?
范例:我想那是她们送给主人的礼物。去别人家做客的时候,带一点礼物可以表示我们的礼貌和心意。
wǒ xiǎng nà shì tā men sòng gěi zhǔ rén de lǐ wù qù bié rén jiā zuò kè de shí hou dài yì diǎn lǐ wù kě yǐ biǎo shì wǒ men de lǐ mào hé xīn yì
I think it is their present for the host. When you visit someone's home, bringing a small present shows your good manners and kind thoughts.
老师:接下来她们可能会做什么?
jiē xià lái tā men kě néng huì zuò shén me
What might they do next?
范例:我想主人会请客人坐下来,一起吃马来粽子和热菜。大家可能会一边吃一边聊天,互相祝福。
wǒ xiǎng zhǔ rén huì qǐng kè rén zuò xià lái yì qǐ chī mǎ lái zòng zi hé rè cài dà jiā kě néng huì yì biān chī yì biān liáo tiān hù xiāng zhù fú
I think the host will invite the guests to sit down and eat ketupat and the hot dish together. Everyone may chat while they eat and wish each other well.
老师:如果你去马来朋友家过开斋节,你要注意什么?
rú guǒ nǐ qù mǎ lái péng you jiā guò kāi zhāi jié nǐ yào zhù yì shén me
If you went to a Malay friend's home for Hari Raya, what should you be careful about?
范例:我会先跟主人打招呼,祝他们开斋节快乐。进门前要脱鞋,吃东西时也要有礼貌。因为尊重别人的习俗,主人才会感到高兴。
wǒ huì xiān gēn zhǔ rén dǎ zhāo hu zhù tā men kāi zhāi jié kuài lè jìn mén qián yào tuō xié chī dōng xi shí yě yào yǒu lǐ mào yīn wèi zūn zhòng bié rén de xí sú zhǔ rén cái huì gǎn dào gāo xìng
First I would greet the hosts and wish them a happy Hari Raya. I should take off my shoes before going in and be polite when eating. Because only when we respect other people's customs will the hosts feel happy.
老师:你参加过别的种族的节日吗?说一说你的经历。
nǐ cān jiā guò bié de zhǒng zú de jié rì ma shuō yi shuō nǐ de jīng lì
Have you joined in another race's festival? Talk about it.
范例:参加过。去年屠妖节,我的印度同学请我去她家。她家门口有用彩色米粉画的美丽图案,还点着很多小油灯。她妈妈请我吃印度甜点,我觉得又新鲜又有趣。
cān jiā guò qù nián tú yāo jié wǒ de yìn dù tóng xué qǐng wǒ qù tā jiā tā jiā mén kǒu yǒu yòng cǎi sè mǐ fěn huà de měi lì tú àn hái diǎn zhe hěn duō xiǎo yóu dēng tā mā ma qǐng wǒ chī yìn dù tián diǎn wǒ jué de yòu xīn xiān yòu yǒu qù
Yes. Last Deepavali, my Indian classmate invited me to her home. At her door there was a beautiful pattern drawn with coloured rice powder, and lots of little oil lamps were lit. Her mum gave me Indian sweets, and it all felt new and interesting.
三、会话 Conversation
情景:在一段视频里,一个学生在食堂取笑另一位同学带来的食物,说那些食物很奇怪。
zài yí duàn shì pín lǐ yí gè xué shēng zài shí táng qǔ xiào lìng yí wèi tóng xué dài lái de shí wù shuō nà xiē shí wù hěn qí guài
In a video, a student in the canteen makes fun of the food another classmate has brought, saying it is very strange.
老师:你觉得视频里的学生做得对吗?为什么?
nǐ jué de shì pín lǐ de xué shēng zuò de duì ma wèi shén me
Did the student in the video do the right thing? Why?
范例:我觉得他做得不对。每个种族都有自己的饮食习惯,我们不应该取笑别人。取笑别人不但会伤他的心,还会影响同学之间的友谊。
wǒ jué de tā zuò de bú duì měi gè zhǒng zú dōu yǒu zì jǐ de yǐn shí xí guàn wǒ men bù yīng gāi qǔ xiào bié rén qǔ xiào bié rén bú dàn huì shāng tā de xīn hái huì yǐng xiǎng tóng xué zhī jiān de yǒu yì
I don't think he did the right thing. Every race has its own eating habits, and we shouldn't make fun of others. Making fun of someone not only hurts their feelings, it also harms the friendship between classmates.
💡 Say whether he was right, then give your reasons with 不但……还…….
老师:说一说你和不同种族的朋友一起做的一件事。
shuō yi shuō nǐ hé bù tóng zhǒng zú de péng you yì qǐ zuò de yí jiàn shì
Talk about something you did together with friends of other races.
范例:去年种族和谐日,我和马来同学莎拉、印度同学阿伦一起准备了一个表演。我们练习了两个星期,在台上唱了一首华语歌和一首马来歌。表演结束后,大家都为我们鼓掌,我觉得非常自豪。
qù nián zhǒng zú hé xié rì wǒ hé mǎ lái tóng xué shā lā yìn dù tóng xué ā lún yì qǐ zhǔn bèi le yí gè biǎo yǎn wǒ men liàn xí le liǎng gè xīng qī zài tái shàng chàng le yì shǒu huá yǔ gē hé yì shǒu mǎ lái gē biǎo yǎn jié shù hòu dà jiā dōu wèi wǒ men gǔ zhǎng wǒ jué de fēi cháng zì háo
Last Racial Harmony Day, my Malay classmate Sarah, my Indian classmate Arun and I prepared a performance together. We practised for two weeks and sang a Mandarin song and a Malay song on stage. When it ended, everyone clapped for us, and I felt very proud.
💡 Tell a real experience: when, where, what happened and how you felt (时间、地点、经过、感受).
老师:你认为学校可以举办什么活动,让不同种族的同学更了解彼此?
nǐ rèn wéi xué xiào kě yǐ jǔ bàn shén me huó dòng ràng bù tóng zhǒng zú de tóng xué gèng liǎo jiě bǐ cǐ
What activities do you think the school could hold to help pupils of different races understand each other better?
范例:我认为学校可以举办美食节,让同学们带来自己民族的食物,互相品尝。另外,也可以请同学介绍自己的节日。这样,大家就会更了解彼此,相处得更好。
wǒ rèn wéi xué xiào kě yǐ jǔ bàn měi shí jié ràng tóng xué men dài lái zì jǐ mín zú de shí wù hù xiāng pǐn cháng lìng wài yě kě yǐ qǐng tóng xué jiè shào zì jǐ de jié rì zhè yàng dà jiā jiù huì gèng liǎo jiě bǐ cǐ xiāng chǔ de gèng hǎo
I think the school could hold a food festival where pupils bring food from their own culture to taste together. Also, pupils could be asked to talk about their own festivals. This way everyone will understand each other better and get along even better.
💡 Give one or two ideas, then say how they would help with 这样.
老师:如果班上来了一位不会说华语的新同学,你会怎么帮助他?
rú guǒ bān shàng lái le yí wèi bú huì shuō huá yǔ de xīn tóng xué nǐ huì zěn me bāng zhù tā
If a new classmate who can't speak Mandarin joined your class, how would you help him?
范例:我会用英语跟他交谈,带他认识学校的环境,还会教他说一些简单的华语。因为刚来到新环境,他一定会觉得紧张。有人帮助他,他就能很快适应。
wǒ huì yòng yīng yǔ gēn tā jiāo tán dài tā rèn shi xué xiào de huán jìng hái huì jiāo tā shuō yì xiē jiǎn dān de huá yǔ yīn wèi gāng lái dào xīn huán jìng tā yí dìng huì jué de jǐn zhāng yǒu rén bāng zhù tā tā jiù néng hěn kuài shì yìng
I would talk with him in English, show him around the school, and teach him some simple Mandarin. Because someone who has just arrived somewhere new must feel nervous. With someone helping him, he can settle in quickly.
💡 Say what you would do step by step, then explain why with 因为.
