APut the life events in the usual order. Number them 2–8.Q1–4 of 7

1 = be born

1. get a university qualification
2. get a job
3. leave school
4. die

life order = 人生的次序

一个人通常先出生,然后上学,接着离开学校,有的人再上大学取得文凭,然后去工作。所以“上大学取得资格”排第4,“找工作”排第5,“离开学校”排第3。只在格子里写数字。想一想你认识的大人,他们的人生是不是也按这个次序。

例子: First you go to school, then you leave school. 先上学,然后离开学校。

life order = urutan hidup

Biasanya seseorang dilahirkan, bersekolah, kemudian tamat sekolah. Ada orang masuk universiti dan mendapat kelayakan sebelum mereka mula bekerja. Fikirkan peristiwa mana yang mesti berlaku dahulu dan mana yang berlaku kemudian. Taip nombor sahaja dalam kotak. Fikirkan juga orang dewasa yang anda kenal: adakah hidup mereka mengikut urutan ini?

Contoh: You go to school before you go to university. — Anda bersekolah sebelum masuk universiti.

APut the life events in the usual order. Number them 2–8.Q5–7 of 7

1 = be born

5. have children
6. get married
7. go to school

later events = 后来的事

找到工作以后,很多人会结婚,排第6;结婚以后生孩子,排第7;人生的最后一件事是去世,排第8。上学是出生以后的第一件大事,排第2。每个人的人生不完全一样,但这一题问的是最常见的次序。

例子: They got married and then they had children. 他们结婚,然后生孩子。

注意: 这题问的是一般的次序,不是某一个人的故事。

later events = peristiwa kemudian

Selepas mendapat kerja, ramai orang berkahwin, kemudian mempunyai anak. Peristiwa terakhir dalam hidup ialah meninggal dunia. Bersekolah pula ialah peristiwa besar pertama selepas dilahirkan. Gunakan urutan biasa ini untuk menyusun keempat-empat peristiwa dalam skrin ini dengan betul.

Contoh: They got married and then they bought a house. — Mereka berkahwin dan kemudian membeli rumah.

Awas: Soalan ini bertanya tentang urutan yang biasa, bukan kisah seorang individu.

BComplete the text using the past simple form of the verbs.Q1–3 of 6

get a job · go to school · leave school · not go · not get a qualification · travel

Tom Baker grew up in a small town in Scotland. He was very, very tall!

1.When he was a boy, he near his home.
2.But he early because it was difficult for him because of his height.
3.He to university

verb phrases = 动词短语

框里的是短语,要把动词部分改成过去式,其他的字照写。go to school 变 went to school;leave school 变 left school;not go 要写成否定的过去式 didn’t go。看句子的意思来选:小时候在家附近上学,后来因为太高很早就离开学校,没有上大学。

例子: He left school early. 他很早就离开了学校。

注意: not 开头的要写 didn’t 加原形。

verb phrases = frasa kata kerja

Kotak itu mengandungi frasa, jadi tukar kata kerja sahaja kepada kala lampau dan salin perkataan lain. Go dan leave ialah kata kerja tidak tetap. Frasa yang bermula dengan not menjadi didn’t bersama kata dasar. Gunakan maksud setiap ayat untuk memilih frasa: bersekolah dekat rumah, tamat sekolah awal, dan tidak masuk universiti.

Contoh: When he was a boy, he lived near a farm. — Semasa kecil, dia tinggal berhampiran sebuah ladang.

Awas: Frasa yang mengandungi not menjadi didn’t diikuti kata dasar.

BComplete the text using the past simple form of the verbs.Q4–6 of 6

4.and he .
5.After school, he at a farm and he worked there from time to time.
6.In 2020 he to London and he met the shortest man in the country!

job and travel = 工作和旅行

not get a qualification 要写成 didn’t get a qualification,因为他没有上大学,所以也没有文凭。get a job 的 get 是不规则动词,变 got a job。travel 是规则动词,英式拼法双写 l,变 travelled(美式的 traveled 也接受)。最后一句说他去了伦敦。

例子: He got a job at a farm and travelled to London. 他在农场找到工作,也去了伦敦。

job and travel = kerja dan perjalanan

Dia tidak masuk universiti, jadi dia juga tidak mendapat kelayakan. Frasa yang bermula dengan not perlu ditulis dengan didn’t. Get ialah kata kerja tidak tetap. Travel ialah kata kerja tetap, dan ejaan British menggandakan huruf l sebelum ed, tetapi ejaan Amerika dengan satu l juga diterima. Ayat terakhir menyebut London.

Contoh: He worked hard on the farm. — Dia bekerja keras di ladang itu.

例子: She grew up in a small village. 她在一个小村庄长大。

例子: She appeared at a theatre in New York on New Year’s Day. 她在新年那天在纽约演出。

young or old = muda atau tua

work it out = 推算出来

第5句说她因为意外去世,故事说她在纽约生病了,所以是错的。第6句要自己算一算:她在一八九零年五月出生,一九一零年三月去世。一八九零加二十是一九一零,可是三月还没到五月,她还没过二十岁生日,所以她去世时是十九岁,这一句也是错的。

例子: She became ill and died. 她生病后去世。

work it out = kira sendiri

Ayat 5 menyebut dia mengalami kemalangan. Semak apa yang cerita katakan tentang sebab kematiannya. Untuk ayat 6, kira sendiri: Lily dilahirkan pada bulan Mei 1890 dan meninggal dunia pada bulan Mac 1910. Adakah dia sudah menyambut hari jadinya yang ke-20 pada bulan Mac itu?
