The trap · English describes from behind

陷阱・英文從後面描述

This is the biggest word-order difference of the whole year. Chinese loads the description in front of the noun and ends with 的. English names the thing first, then adds the description behind it. Draw an arrow on the board pointing backwards in Chinese and forwards in English.
這是整年最大的語序差異。中文把描述堆在名詞前面，用「的」收尾；英文先講那個東西，再把描述接在後面。在白板上畫兩支箭：中文往前指，英文往後指。

穿紅衣服的女孩　→　描述在前，名詞在後
✗ the wearing red clothes girl
✓ the girl who is wearing red　→　名詞在前，描述在後
昨天我遇到的那個男生 → ✓ the boy that I met yesterday
Your turn: 那家我媽很喜歡的麵店 → ______

The second trap · do not say it twice

第二個陷阱・不要講兩次

Chinese repeats the noun inside the description — 我昨天遇到他的那個男生. English uses the relative pronoun instead of the second mention, so the pronoun must go. This one survives for years unless it is named.
中文會在描述裡把那個人再講一次——「我昨天遇到『他』的那個男生」。英文用關係代名詞取代第二次出現，所以那個代名詞必須刪掉。不特別點出來，這個錯會跟著學生很多年。

✗ The boy who I met him yesterday is my cousin.
✓ The boy who I met yesterday is my cousin.
✗ The book which I bought it last week is missing.
✓ The book which I bought last week is missing.
Your turn — fix this: ✗ The restaurant that we ate there was very cheap.

Sentence Surgery · combine them

句子手術・接起來

Dom's activity. Two short sentences go in, one stronger sentence comes out. Do the first together, then let teams race. Her homework asks for twelve pairs, so this is the rehearsal.
Dom 的活動。兩個短句進去，一個更有力的句子出來。第一題一起做，之後各組競賽。她的作業要十二組，這裡是彩排。

I have a friend. She lives in Kaohsiung. → I have a friend who lives in Kaohsiung.
This is the temple. My grandmother goes there every morning. → ______
I lost the umbrella. My father gave it to me. → ______
That is the student. Her painting won the prize. → ______
We watched a film. It was three hours long. → ______
That is the reason. I could not come yesterday. → ______

Exit ticket · one person, one place

出場券・一個人，一個地方

Two sentences, each with a relative clause, both about things the student actually knows. No repeated pronoun inside the clause.
兩句話，各含一個關係子句，而且都要是學生真的知道的人事物。子句裡不可以出現重複的代名詞。

My favourite teacher is someone who ______ .
______ is the place where ______ .

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed, but this is the week with the biggest structural flip of the year. Chinese puts the description BEFORE the noun — 穿紅衣服的女孩. English puts it AFTER — the girl who is wearing red. Everything else this week is detail; that flip is the lesson.
不必備課，但這是整年結構翻轉最大的一週。中文把描述放在名詞「前面」——穿紅衣服的女孩。英文放在「後面」——the girl who is wearing red。這週其餘都是細節，那個翻轉才是課。
