Teaching Notes for Students

• Read the passage twice: First for general understanding, second for specific details.
• Underline keywords: Circle question words (谁、什么、哪里、几、怎么) to know what to look for.
• Use the picture: In Section A, the picture supports the text. Check both.
• Answer in complete phrases: For open-ended questions, give the full answer from the text (e.g., "两个大苹果" not just "苹果").
