這禮拜上 Economic and Life 的時候,老師請我們在課堂上討論關於 grandparents 的幾個問題,我今天先挑出三個⬇️
當時我的腦袋其實有很多想法,但要把它們用英文組合在一起的時候就亂掉了,講出來甚至覺得自己笨笨的😂
所以這禮拜利用假日時間,決定自己再重新回答一次!
這次我給自己的標準是:
👉 每個問題回答 1–3 句就好,不用講太多!
比起想著「我要講得很多、很厲害」,我更想練習怎麼在短時間內,把腦袋裡的想法用英文清楚地表達出來。
今天先跟你們分享前三個問題的回答,以及這次學到的 3 個實用 chunks!
Q1. Where were your grandparents from?
- My grandparents are actually from Taiwan.
Q2. What was life like when they were young?
2. I feel like they had a countryside lifestyle back then. There wasn’t much technology, and life wasn’t as modern as it is now.
Q3. What types of jobs did they have?
3. They worked in the textile industry, also ran a small factory together. They have bunch of machines behind our house, even hired several employees working for them.
📝 3個chunk
*work in the ___ industry 從事……產業
這次原本只學到 textile industry = 紡織業 👔,但後來發現整組一起記更實用!
—My grandparents worked in the textile industry.
*back then 那個年代/當時
講到「以前」是不是腦袋只會跑出 before / in the past?
可以試著把 back then 加進你的口說裡!
—We didn’t have smartphones back then.📱
*not as + adj. + as it is now. 不像現在這麼…
—Life wasn’t as modern as it is now.
💡現在換你選一個chunk試著造句看看!
