STORYLINE
/ Everybody wanted to know if the compass could take them to see a real panda in China. Peter entered the word “panda” into the compass and everyone closed their eyes and waited for the blinding flash of light to pass. As they opened their eyes, sure enough there were two lovable pandas right in front of them.
All of them were now in Hong Kong, and they really enjoyed being at the Hong Kong Zoo.Seeing the pandas was the best part of this trip. The weather in Hong Kong was much hotter than what they were used to back home in California, so someone decided that they should find some more suitable clothes. They all rushed to Stanley Market and shopped for clothes and shoes.Linda especially enjoyed this trip because she was originally from Hong Kong, but moved to California when she was very young, so she felt very curious about her birthplace.

A. 擴展練習 MAGIC EXPANSION
a.1 好 (h3o) + Adjective
When “好” functions as an adverb placed before an adj., it means “really, so”.
For example:
好大 h3o d4 so big
好多 h3o du! so many/much
好高 h3o g1o really tall
Notice that there are some differences between “好”, “真” and “很”. They are all adverbs which can be placed before an adjective to indicate intensity. However, “好” and “真” are used for exclamation, while “很” is used to comment on a state of being or quality of a given subject.真is similar to the way people use VERY in English (e.g., VERY good), while the unstressed很reflects a plain statement of an original state of being (e.g., good). You can review the differences between the stressed and unstressed很 in Unit 2.
Read these phrases and sentences and experiment each with different tone of voice.
Very much…/so… / Really… / --- (original degree, put no stress on h7n )---
好好玩! / 真好玩! / 很好玩。
H2o h3ow2n! / Zh5n h3ow2n! / H7n h3ow2n.
你妹妹好可愛! / 你妹妹真可愛! / 你妹妹很可愛。
N- m8imei h3o k74i! / N- m8imei zh5n k74i! / N- m8imei h7n k74i.
這個西瓜好大! / 這個西瓜真大! / 這個西瓜很大。
Zh8 ge x9gu1 h3o d4! / Zh8 ge x9gu1 zh5n d4! / Zh8 ge x9gu1 h7n d4.
那件衣服好好看! / 那件衣服真好看! / 那件衣服很好看。
N4 ji4n y9fu h2o h3ok4n! / N4 ji4n y9fu zh5n h3ok4n! / N4 ji4n y9fu h7n h3ok4n.
a.2 去 (q*) + place word
means “ to go to (place)”
The use is similar to English, but it is equally common to use “到 (d4o, to arrive at) + place word + 去”. The two constructions are interchangeable.
Examples:
去市場 = 到市場去 d4o sh=ch3ng q* to go to the market
去學校 = 到學校去 d4o xu6xi4o q* to go to school
B. 語法註解GRAMMAR NOTES
b.1 Particle 呢 (ne)
When the particle呢 is placed after a noun, or at the end of a sentence, it means “How about...?” or “what about so and so?” in English.
Examples:
1.  我叫湯姆,你呢?
Wǒ ji4o T1ngm&, nǐ ne?
My name is Tom, how about you?
2.  琳達是美國人,他呢?
L0nd2 sh= M7iguó rén, tā ne?
Linda is an American, how about him?
3. 我有一個弟弟,你呢?
W# y#u y0 ge d=di, n- ne?
I have a younger brother, how about you?
4. 我很餓,怎麼辦呢?我可以吃什麼呢?
W# h7n 8, z7nme b4n ne? W# k7y- ch9 sh6nme ne?
I am very hungry, what should I do? What can I eat?
C. 交際活動 ACTIVITIES
c.1 Who are you going with to have fun?
Interpersonal Communication:
你和誰要去哪裡,做什麼?
N- h6 sh6i y4o q* n3li, zu$ sh6nme?
With who and where are you going? What are you going to do?
Materials:
1.  Four boxes, labeled person, country, place, and activity prepared by the teacher.

b.  name of a country, such as香港
c.  name of a specific place, such as 動物園
d.  name of an activity, such as 看熊貓
2.  Drop your four pieces of paper into the appropriate boxes.
3.  When the teacher calls on you, randomly draw one piece of paper from each box. Use the information on these four pieces of paper to construct a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.
4.  Speak in a loud and clear voice to share your sentence with your class.
For example, assuming this is the information on your four pieces of paper:

Name of a person / 哪裡-1?

穿 (chu1n) & 戴 (d4i)
穿(chu1n) and 戴(d4i) both mean “to wear”, but there is a distinction: 穿is used for wearing clothing such as shirts, pants, socks, shoes, etc., while 戴 is used for wearing accessories such as eye glasses, earrings, hat, rings, etc.
Example:
穿衣服,戴帽子。 Chu1n y9fu, d4i m4ozi.
Wearing clothes, wearing a hat.
NOTE: For other English uses of the word “wear” as highlight in “She wears her hair short” or “She wears nice perfume”, neither 穿or 戴 would apply.
