我家主線是RAZ，目前初步刷完E。進(jìn)入G1難度陡增，不敢給娃刷的太快，總覺(jué)得很多地方還沒(méi)吸收消化，需要加強(qiáng)鞏固。這不就入了RAZ的黃金搭檔——牛津樹(shù)，Oxford Reading Tree Biff, Chip and Kipper Stories系列.
想著已經(jīng)有一定的基礎(chǔ)，直接從Stage 3開(kāi)始讀，一來(lái)借機(jī)復(fù)習(xí)鞏固下平行的詞匯，二來(lái)讀讀fiction給娃英語(yǔ)啟蒙增加點(diǎn)趣味。本想著按照RAZ的節(jié)奏，一天刷個(gè)10本。結(jié)果沒(méi)想到長(zhǎng)期習(xí)慣和浸淫美式英語(yǔ)的老母親，竟然一上來(lái)就有點(diǎn)水土不服……不管是詞匯、慣用表達(dá)還是英式幽默，都讓英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)八的我覺(jué)得不提前做點(diǎn)功課真是力不從心啊。所以特開(kāi)此貼，做一點(diǎn)簡(jiǎn)單的記錄吧。
牛3一共42本，顧名思義，就是圍繞著B(niǎo)iff, Chip和Kipper小朋友一家的故事唄。這不半路出家，老母親我看了好幾本才勉強(qiáng)把人物對(duì)號(hào)入座。。。這42本書(shū)也是分體系的，基本6本為一個(gè)組合，具體如下：
1-6 First sentences
7-12 Stories
13-18 More stories A
19-24 More stories B
25-30 Sparrows Consolidation & breadth 這部分好像是支線故事？

3-3 Pond Dipping
pram: 嬰兒車(chē)
pond dipping: an excellent activity for children of all ages and is a great way to introduce them to a wide range of plants, insects and amphibians（水陸兩棲動(dòng)物）. It also offers an opportunity to learn about food chains and food webs as well as discovering variations in lifecycles and the effects of pollution on aquatic life（水生生物）.
這個(gè)中文里好像找不到特別合適的對(duì)應(yīng)詞匯，字面意思就是“在池塘里蘸一蘸”，其實(shí)就是日常小朋友經(jīng)常干的事情，去小池塘里撈點(diǎn)小魚(yú)小蝦小蝌蚪啥的，親近大自然，觀察下水生生物的活動(dòng)哈。

3-10 A Cat in the Tree
難得有本沒(méi)有，想到了這本書(shū)

junk：=trash垃圾，也是反復(fù)出現(xiàn)了
3-16 At the Seaside
burn down: be completely destroyed by fire 燒毀
這本到最后娃問(wèn)我：不是在海邊嘛？為什么他們沒(méi)有去沙灘上玩呢。。
3-17 Kipper's Idea

一個(gè)禮拜讀完了牛3，基本上就是這些了。牛3讀下來(lái)最大的一個(gè)感覺(jué)就是語(yǔ)言還是比較簡(jiǎn)練的，內(nèi)容很貼近生活，情節(jié)也比較生動(dòng)，結(jié)尾總是讓人出乎意料。小朋友最近開(kāi)始對(duì)人物慢慢敏感起來(lái)，同伴意識(shí)也有所增強(qiáng)，有好朋友的概念，喜歡跟好朋友一起玩了。這也是我打算引入牛津樹(shù)的原因之一。
碼字的功夫，娃就跑進(jìn)書(shū)房跟老母親說(shuō)“麻麻，我想看oxford reading tree”了。今天還沒(méi)看，看來(lái)無(wú)形中已經(jīng)上癮了。牛津樹(shù)就是引人入勝的小說(shuō)，而RAZ感覺(jué)更像是一板一眼的教科書(shū)和習(xí)題（捂臉……）我是該為娃喜歡牛津樹(shù)高興呢還是該為娃可能會(huì)因此討厭RAZ而擔(dān)憂呢……
