perubahan perasaan = 心情的变化

Skrin ini menjejak perasaan budak itu dari saat dia menerima layang-layang hingga dia memijaknya. Pada mulanya dia terlalu gembira dan berlari keluar sambil menjerit. Apabila kanak-kanak jiran melihat dengan teliti, mereka ketawa dan memanggilnya raksasa besar. Dia malu dan marah, lalu merosakkan hadiah ayahnya.

Contoh: Ayah mengambil masa tiga hari untuk menyiapkan layang-layang dengan tangan yang menggeletar.

Awas: Untuk soalan susunan, ingat bahawa layang-layang dirosakkan sebelum dia enggan mengurut belakang ayah.

changing feelings = 心情的变化

This screen follows the boy’s feelings from the moment he receives the kite until he stamps on it. At first he is overjoyed and runs out shouting. When the neighbours’ children take a closer look, they laugh and call it a big monster. Ashamed and angry, he wrecks his father’s gift.

Example: The father spent three days making the kite with shaking hands.

Watch out: For the ordering question, remember the kite is destroyed before he ignores his father’s request.

makna tersirat = 言外之意

Penulis tidak menyatakan semua perkara secara terus. Keesokan hari budak itu masih merajuk, jadi dia berpura-pura tidak mendengar apabila ayahnya yang batuk meminta dia mengurut belakang. Dua hari kemudian ibunya menangis di tepi katil, manakala ayahnya tidur dengan tenang. Fikirkan apa yang sebenarnya cuba disampaikan oleh penulis.

Contoh: Tidur dengan tenang di sini ialah cara lembut untuk menyebut sesuatu yang sangat menyedihkan.

Awas: Jangan baca ayat itu secara harfiah; tangisan ibu ialah petunjuk penting.

reading between the lines = 言外之意

The writer does not say everything directly. The next day the boy is still sulking, so he pretends not to hear when his coughing father asks him to rub his back. Two days later his mother is crying by the bed while his father sleeps peacefully. Think about what the writer is really telling us.

Example: Sleeping peacefully here is a gentle way of saying something very sad.

Watch out: Do not read that sentence literally; the mother’s tears are an important clue.

kosa kata teks = 课文词语

Semua pilihan datang daripada bacaan ini. Pelbagai jenis barang ialah xíng xíng sè sè. Terlalu gembira sehingga hampir hilang kawalan ialah xīn xǐ ruò kuáng. Marah dengan sangat teruk ialah dà fā léi tíng. Mò dì pula bermaksud tiba-tiba dan biasanya diletakkan di hadapan sesuatu peristiwa yang tidak dijangka.

Contoh: Mò dì, seekor anjing kecil meluru keluar dari lorong.

Awas: Bàn fēn bàn wén bermaksud sedikit wang sahaja, jadi ia tidak boleh menerangkan perasaan.

words from the text = 课文词语

All the options come from this reading. All sorts of things is xíng xíng sè sè. So happy you almost lose control is xīn xǐ ruò kuáng. Flying into a terrible rage is dà fā léi tíng. Mò dì means suddenly and usually comes just before something unexpected happens.

Example: Mò dì, a little dog dashed out of the lane.

Watch out: Bàn fēn bàn wén means only a tiny bit of money, so it cannot describe a feeling.

menulis secara imaginasi = 假设写作

Bayangkan anda ialah budak dalam cerita dan boleh kembali ke hari ayah menyiapkan layang-layang itu. Apakah yang akan anda katakan dan lakukan? Ingat keadaan ayah: dia sakit teruk, tangannya menggeletar dan dia bekerja selama tiga hari. Tunjukkan rasa terima kasih, dan tulis juga apa yang anda tidak akan lakukan lagi.

Contoh: Saya akan memegang tangan ayah dan berkata terima kasih kerana bersusah payah untuk saya.

Awas: Gunakan sudut pandangan orang pertama dan tunjukkan perasaan dengan tindakan.

imaginative writing = 假设写作

Imagine you are the boy and can go back to the day your father finished the kite. What would you say and do? Remember his condition: he is very ill, his hands shake and he has worked on it for three days. Show your thanks, and also write what you would never do again.

Example: I would hold Dad’s hand and thank him for working so hard for me.

Watch out: Write in the first person and show feelings through actions.
