学习用英语在商店购物和向陌生人问路的基本表达,掌握“Can I help you?”、“How much is it?”、“Excuse me, where is...?”等句型,能在生活中简单运用。
一、概念导入:生活中常用英语
小朋友们,你们和爸爸妈妈去超市买过东西吗?或者在学校附近迷路了,需要问路吗?今天我们来学习两个非常有用的英语对话场景——购物和问路。学会了这些,下次遇到外国小朋友或者去英语国家旅行,就可以大胆开口啦!
二、核心讲解:购物英语
1. 常见购物句型
进入商店时,店员通常会问:
- Can I help you?(需要帮忙吗?)
- 你可以回答:Yes, please. I'd like…(是的,我想要……)例如:I'd like a pencil.
- 询问价格:How much is it?(这个多少钱?)
- 付款时:Here you are.(给你。)店员会说:Thank you. 你可以回答:You're welcome.
2. 购物对话示例
对话:
Shop assistant: Can I help you?
Customer: Yes, please. I'd like a ruler. How much is it?
Shop assistant: It's 2 yuan.
Customer: Here you are.
Shop assistant: Thank you.
Customer: You're welcome.
3. 购物小贴士
- 用I'd like比“I want”更礼貌。
- 问价格时,如果是多件物品说How much are they?
- 付钱时说Here you are. 也可以说Here's the money.
三、核心讲解:问路英语
1. 常见问路句型
- 先礼貌地说:Excuse me.(打扰一下。)
- 问地点:Where is the …?(……在哪里?)例如:Where is the school?
- 回答方向:
- Go straight.(直走。)
- Turn left/right.(左转/右转。)
- It's on your left/right.(它在你的左边/右边。)
- It's next to/between/behind …(在……旁边/之间/后面。)
- 道谢:Thank you.
2. 问路对话示例
对话:
A: Excuse me. Where is the library?
B: Go straight. Turn left at the corner. It's on your right.
A: Thank you.
B: You're welcome.

完整对话:
A: Can I help you?
B: Yes, please. I'd like an apple. How much is it?
A: It's 5 yuan.
B: Here you are.
A: Thank you.
例题2(中等): 根据下图(图2)回答:
Where is the library? 从“You are here”出发,如何到达图书馆?用英语写出路线。
解答:
Go straight. Turn left at the corner. Then go straight. The library is on your right.
(先直走,在拐角左转,然后直走,图书馆在你的右边。)
例题3(较难): 你和朋友在超市,你想买一支铅笔和一块橡皮。请编一段你和收银员的对话(至少4个来回)。
解答示例:
Shop assistant: Can I help you?
You: Yes, please. I'd like a pencil and an eraser.
Shop assistant: Here you are. They are 3 yuan total.
You: How much is the pencil?
Shop assistant: 1 yuan. And the eraser is 2 yuan.
You: Here is 3 yuan.
Shop assistant: Thank you. Have a nice day!
You: You too!
注意:总价也可以直接说“3 yuan”,但题目要求问价格,所以再分别问一下。
五、常见误区
- 忘记“Excuse me”:直接问“Where is…”不礼貌,一定要先说“Excuse me”。
- 混淆 left 和 right:可以举起左手辅助记忆:左手边是 left,右手边是 right。
- 回答问路时缺少“the”:正确是“Where is the library?” 不能省略 the。
- 用“I want”代替“I'd like”:“I want”比较直接,在购物时用“I'd like”更礼貌。
- 方位介词错误:“在左边”是“on your left”,不是“at your left”。
六、学习建议
- 角色扮演:和同桌一个当店员/指路人,一个当顾客/问路人,练习对话。
- 画地图:自己画一张简易地图,用英语标出各个地方(school, park, hospital…),然后用英语互相问路。
- 看动画片:推荐英语动画片《Peppa Pig》中的购物或问路片段,模仿语音语调。
- 记住核心句型:每个场景记2-3个万能句子,比如购物时用“How much is it?”、问路用“Excuse me, where is…?”
七、知识链接
- 数字:购物时要用数字表达价格(1-100),问路时要用到序数词(first, second…)不过三年级先学会基数词即可。
- 颜色和物品:购物时可能会描述“a red pencil”,所以颜色词汇很重要。
- 礼貌用语:Thank you, You're welcome, Excuse me 在之前单元学过,这里是巩固。
- 方位介词:in, on, under, next to 等在之前学习过,现在扩展到方位短语 on your left/right。
八、习题自测
- 补全对话:
A: ________ me. Where is the hospital?
B: Go ________. Turn ________ at the corner. It's on your ________.
A: Thank you. - 根据中文意思选择正确的英文:
“这个多少钱?”
A. How many is it?
B. How much is it?
C. How old is it? - 编一段购物对话:你想买3本书和1个书包,问价格并付款。(写下来或用口头练习后写下来)
参考答案:
- Excuse me; straight; left/right (合理即可); left/right
- B
- 示例:Shop assistant: Can I help you? You: Yes, please. I'd like three books and one schoolbag. How much are they? Shop assistant: The books are 30 yuan total. The schoolbag is 50 yuan. You: Here is 80 yuan. Shop assistant: Thank you. You: You're welcome.
