热身 Warm-up
饮水思源。

When you drink water, remember where it came from.
老师，您辛苦了！
lǎo shī nín xīn kǔ le
Teacher, thank you for all your hard work!
一、朗读 Read aloud
我最感谢的人是我的华文老师林老师。
wǒ zuì gǎn xiè de rén shì wǒ de huá wén lǎo shī lín lǎo shī
The person I am most grateful to is my Chinese teacher, Ms Lin.
三年级的时候，我的华文成绩很差，上课也不敢开口说话。
sān nián jí de shí hou wǒ de huá wén chéng jì hěn chà shàng kè yě bù gǎn kāi kǒu shuō huà
In Primary 3, my Chinese results were poor, and I didn't dare speak up in class.
林老师发现以后，每个星期二放学后都留下来帮我补习。
lín lǎo shī fā xiàn yǐ hòu měi gè xīng qī èr fàng xué hòu dōu liú xià lái bāng wǒ bǔ xí
When Ms Lin noticed, she stayed behind after school every Tuesday to give me extra help.
她教我读课文，还鼓励我每天写一篇短短的日记。
tā jiāo wǒ dú kè wén hái gǔ lì wǒ měi tiān xiě yì piān duǎn duǎn de rì jì
She taught me to read the lessons and encouraged me to write a short diary entry every day.
有时候我写错了很多字，她也从来不生气，总是耐心地帮我改正。
yǒu shí hou wǒ xiě cuò le hěn duō zì tā yě cóng lái bù shēng qì zǒng shì nài xīn de bāng wǒ gǎi zhèng
Sometimes I wrote many characters wrongly, but she never got angry and always patiently helped me correct them.
慢慢地，我的华文进步了，上课也敢举手回答问题了。
màn màn de wǒ de huá wén jìn bù le shàng kè yě gǎn jǔ shǒu huí dá wèn tí le
Slowly my Chinese improved, and I dared to put up my hand to answer questions in class.
今年教师节，我亲手做了一张卡片，在上面写着：“林老师，谢谢您！”
jīn nián jiào shī jié wǒ qīn shǒu zuò le yì zhāng kǎ piàn zài shàng miàn xiě zhe lín lǎo shī xiè xie nín
This Teachers' Day, I made a card by hand and wrote on it, "Ms Lin, thank you!"
林老师看了，眼睛都红了。
lín lǎo shī kàn le yǎn jing dōu hóng le
When Ms Lin read it, her eyes turned red.
我想，老师的爱就像春雨，悄悄地滋润着我们的心。
wǒ xiǎng lǎo shī de ài jiù xiàng chūn yǔ qiāo qiāo de zī rùn zhe wǒ men de xīn
I think a teacher's love is like spring rain, quietly nourishing our hearts.
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：这是教师节那天的课室。黑板上写着“老师，您辛苦了！”，旁边有红色、黄色和蓝色的气球。三位穿白色校服的同学站在课室里。老师站在门口，手里拿着一张大卡片，感动得流下了眼泪。
zhè shì jiào shī jié nà tiān de kè shì hēi bǎn shàng xiě zhe lǎo shī nín xīn kǔ le páng biān yǒu hóng sè huáng sè hé lán sè de qì qiú sān wèi chuān bái sè xiào fú de tóng xué zhàn zài kè shì lǐ lǎo shī zhàn zài mén kǒu shǒu lǐ ná zhe yì zhāng dà kǎ piàn gǎn dòng de liú xià le yǎn lèi
This is the classroom on Teachers' Day. The blackboard says "Teacher, thank you for all your hard work!" with red, yellow and blue balloons beside it. Three pupils in white school uniforms are standing in the classroom. The teacher is standing at the door holding a big card, so moved that she has tears in her eyes.
老师：你怎么知道这是教师节？
nǐ zěn me zhī dào zhè shì jiào shī jié
How do you know this is Teachers' Day?
范例：因为黑板上写着“老师，您辛苦了！”，课室里挂着气球，同学们还送给老师一张卡片。这些都是在庆祝教师节。
yīn wèi hēi bǎn shàng xiě zhe lǎo shī nín xīn kǔ le kè shì lǐ guà zhe qì qiú tóng xué men hái sòng gěi lǎo shī yì zhāng kǎ piàn zhè xiē dōu shì zài qìng zhù jiào shī jié
Because the blackboard says "Teacher, thank you for all your hard work!", balloons are hanging in the classroom, and the pupils have given the teacher a card. All of these are for celebrating Teachers' Day.
老师：老师为什么流眼泪？
lǎo shī wèi shén me liú yǎn lèi
Why is the teacher crying?
范例：我想老师是感动得哭了。同学们偷偷地布置课室，还亲手做卡片。老师觉得自己的辛苦没有白费，所以又惊喜又感动。
wǒ xiǎng lǎo shī shì gǎn dòng de kū le tóng xué men tōu tōu de bù zhì kè shì hái qīn shǒu zuò kǎ piàn lǎo shī jué de zì jǐ de xīn kǔ méi yǒu bái fèi suǒ yǐ yòu jīng xǐ yòu gǎn dòng
I think the teacher is crying because she is moved. The pupils secretly decorated the classroom and made a card by hand. She feels her hard work was not wasted, so she is both surprised and touched.
老师：接下来老师可能会对同学们说什么？
jiē xià lái lǎo shī kě néng huì duì tóng xué men shuō shén me
What might the teacher say to the pupils next?
范例：我想老师会对同学们说：“谢谢你们，这是我收到的最好的礼物！”然后，她可能会和同学们一起拍照，把卡片好好地收起来。
wǒ xiǎng lǎo shī huì duì tóng xué men shuō xiè xie nǐ men zhè shì wǒ shōu dào de zuì hǎo de lǐ wù rán hòu tā kě néng huì hé tóng xué men yì qǐ pāi zhào bǎ kǎ piàn hǎo hǎo de shōu qǐ lái
I think the teacher will say to the pupils, "Thank you, this is the best present I've ever received!" Then she may take photos with the pupils and put the card away carefully.
老师：如果你要为老师准备教师节礼物，你会准备什么？为什么？
rú guǒ nǐ yào wèi lǎo shī zhǔn bèi jiào shī jié lǐ wù nǐ huì zhǔn bèi shén me wèi shén me
If you were preparing a Teachers' Day present for your teacher, what would it be? Why?
范例：我会写一封感谢信给老师。因为礼物不一定要很贵，最重要的是心意。我会在信里写下老师帮助过我的事，告诉她我有多感谢她。
wǒ huì xiě yì fēng gǎn xiè xìn gěi lǎo shī yīn wèi lǐ wù bù yí dìng yào hěn guì zuì zhòng yào de shì xīn yì wǒ huì zài xìn lǐ xiě xià lǎo shī bāng zhù guò wǒ de shì gào su tā wǒ yǒu duō gǎn xiè tā
I would write the teacher a thank-you letter. Because a present doesn't have to be expensive; what matters most is the thought. In the letter I would write down the times she helped me and tell her how grateful I am.
老师：说一说一位让你难忘的老师。
shuō yi shuō yí wèi ràng nǐ nán wàng de lǎo shī
Talk about a teacher you will never forget.
范例：让我难忘的是我的体育老师。二年级时，我怎么也学不会跳绳。他每天下课都陪我练习，还告诉我不要怕失败。一个月后，我终于能连续跳一百下了。我心里非常感谢他。
ràng wǒ nán wàng de shì wǒ de tǐ yù lǎo shī èr nián jí shí wǒ zěn me yě xué bu huì tiào shéng tā měi tiān xià kè dōu péi wǒ liàn xí hái gào su wǒ bú yào pà shī bài yí gè yuè hòu wǒ zhōng yú néng lián xù tiào yì bǎi xià le wǒ xīn li fēi cháng gǎn xiè tā
The teacher I'll never forget is my PE teacher. In Primary 2, no matter what I did I couldn't learn to skip rope. He practised with me after class every day and told me not to be afraid of failing. A month later, I could finally skip a hundred times in a row. I am very grateful to him.
三、会话 Conversation
情景：在一段视频里，老师正在上课，几个学生却在下面聊天、玩手机。
zài yí duàn shì pín lǐ lǎo shī zhèng zài shàng kè jǐ gè xué shēng què zài xià miàn liáo tiān wán shǒu jī
In a video, the teacher is teaching a lesson, but a few students are chatting and playing with their phones.
老师：你对视频里学生的行为有什么看法？
nǐ duì shì pín lǐ xué shēng de xíng wéi yǒu shén me kàn fǎ
What do you think of the students' behaviour in the video?
范例：我认为他们的行为很不好。老师花了很多时间准备课程，上课时我们应该专心听讲。上课聊天、玩手机，不但不尊重老师，还会影响其他同学学习。
wǒ rèn wéi tā men de xíng wéi hěn bù hǎo lǎo shī huā le hěn duō shí jiān zhǔn bèi kè chéng shàng kè shí wǒ men yīng gāi zhuān xīn tīng jiǎng shàng kè liáo tiān wán shǒu jī bú dàn bù zūn zhòng lǎo shī hái huì yǐng xiǎng qí tā tóng xué xué xí
I think their behaviour is very bad. The teacher spent a lot of time preparing the lesson, and in class we should listen carefully. Chatting and playing with phones in class not only disrespects the teacher, it also disturbs other classmates' learning.
💡 Give your view first, then reasons with 不但……还…….
老师：说一说你感谢别人的一次经历。
shuō yi shuō nǐ gǎn xiè bié rén de yí cì jīng lì
Talk about a time you thanked someone.
范例：去年我生病住院了一个星期。出院以后，我的同桌把上课的笔记都抄给我，还教我做功课。为了感谢她，我亲手做了一个书签送给她。她收到以后很开心，我们也成了好朋友。
qù nián wǒ shēng bìng zhù yuàn le yí gè xīng qī chū yuàn yǐ hòu wǒ de tóng zhuō bǎ shàng kè de bǐ jì dōu chāo gěi wǒ hái jiāo wǒ zuò gōng kè wèi le gǎn xiè tā wǒ qīn shǒu zuò le yí gè shū qiān sòng gěi tā tā shōu dào yǐ hòu hěn kāi xīn wǒ men yě chéng le hǎo péng you
Last year I was ill and stayed in hospital for a week. After I came out, my deskmate copied out all the class notes for me and helped me with homework. To thank her, I made her a bookmark by hand. She was very happy to get it, and we became good friends.
💡 Tell a real experience: when, where, what happened and how you felt (时间、地点、经过、感受).
老师：你认为我们可以用哪些方法表达对老师的感谢？
nǐ rèn wéi wǒ men kě yǐ yòng nǎ xiē fāng fǎ biǎo dá duì lǎo shī de gǎn xiè
What ways do you think we can show our thanks to teachers?
范例：我认为有很多方法。首先，上课专心听讲、按时交作业，就是对老师最好的感谢。另外，我们可以在教师节写卡片给老师。最重要的是，见到老师要有礼貌地打招呼。
wǒ rèn wéi yǒu hěn duō fāng fǎ shǒu xiān shàng kè zhuān xīn tīng jiǎng àn shí jiāo zuò yè jiù shì duì lǎo shī zuì hǎo de gǎn xiè lìng wài wǒ men kě yǐ zài jiào shī jié xiě kǎ piàn gěi lǎo shī zuì zhòng yào de shì jiàn dào lǎo shī yào yǒu lǐ mào de dǎ zhāo hu
I think there are many ways. First, listening carefully in class and handing in homework on time is the best thanks for a teacher. Also, we can write cards to teachers on Teachers' Day. Most importantly, we should greet teachers politely when we see them.
💡 Give two or three ideas with 首先、另外、最重要的是.
老师：除了老师，你还应该感谢谁？为什么？
chú le lǎo shī nǐ hái yīng gāi gǎn xiè shéi wèi shén me
Apart from teachers, who else should you thank? Why?
范例：我还应该感谢学校的清洁工人。他们每天很早就来打扫，让我们在干净的环境里学习。所以，我们应该保持校园整洁，见到他们也要说声谢谢。
wǒ hái yīng gāi gǎn xiè xué xiào de qīng jié gōng rén tā men měi tiān hěn zǎo jiù lái dǎ sǎo ràng wǒ men zài gān jìng de huán jìng lǐ xué xí suǒ yǐ wǒ men yīng gāi bǎo chí xiào yuán zhěng jié jiàn dào tā men yě yào shuō shēng xiè xie
I should also thank the school's cleaners. They come early every day to clean, so we can study in a clean place. So we should keep the school tidy and say thank you when we see them.
💡 Name the person, then explain why with 因为 or 所以.
