單元一：學校生活UNIT ONE: SCHOOL LIFE

說　　明

《中國語文課程補充指引(非華語學生)》已於二零零八年十一月公布，並於十二月連同各種配套教學參考資料派發學校。我們建議有收取非華語學生的學校採用補充指引。

考慮到學校需要更多適合非華語學生的中國語文教材，我們特別從經驗較豐富的學校選取校本教材，盡量保留原本教材特色，經調適和整理，例如補充圖文材料，調整教學策略，增訂注音資料等，編製成中小學各套學習材料，上載教育局學校內聯網 (經中國語文教育課程

發展網頁 http://www.edb.gov.hk/cd/chi 登入)，供學校參考試用，修訂後派發學校。

這些教材在學校行之有效，使學生學得更好。我們期望收取非華語學生的學校，會因應學校條件和學生的學習需要，並配合教育局各種配套教學參考資料，從中斟酌取用。相信隨着各項支援措施陸續加強，香港非華語學生的中國語文學習成效將日漸提升。

本教材蒙優質教育基金秘書處與地利亞修女紀念學校 (百老匯)慨允刊印使用，謹此致謝。

The First School Day

UNIT ONE: SCHOOL LIFE4

Learning objectives 學習目標In this chapter, you will learn:1. the way to introduce oneself;2. the formation of plural pronouns;3. the use of “hai6” and “giu3”; 4. the way to address teachers at school; 5. the six tones in Cantonese; and6. the Cantonese finals “aai – ai” and “aam – am”.

There are formal and informal Cantonese. Usually we have to use formal Cantonese in reading and writing, we use informal Cantonese only in dialogue, e.g., the formal Cantonese for “he” is “taa1” and “keoi5” in informal. Look at the table of pronoun below:

Formal Cantonese Informal Cantonese Englishtaa1 keoi5 He, she , it

taa1 mun4 keoi5 dei6 Theyngo5 ngo5 I

ngo5 mun4 ngo5 dei6 Wenei5 nei5 you

nei5 mun4 nei5 dei6 youWe can see that not all the Cantonese words have informal form (bold italics), sometimes, we use formal Cantonese in both speaking and writing.

I. Common vocabulary

3. Term of address You may call Miss Wong “wong4 lou5 si1”, or you call her “Miss

wong2”. We call Mr. Wong “Wong4 lou5 si1” or “wong2 sir. “Miss” is called “siu2 ze2” (小姐); “Mr.” is called “sin1 saang1” (先生); we also call teacher “sin1 saang1” instead of “ lou5 si1” (老師). Besides teacher, “sin1 saang1” also means husband. When

a woman introduces her husband, she says, “他是我的先生。”

Cantonese tonesA tone is the pitch imposed on a syllable. Tones are very important in learning Cantonese because when the tone changes, the meaning will change accordingly. The small number at the right hand side of the word is the indication of the tone mark. For most of the Chinese words, there are

six tones and they are classified in the following ways.

II. Contrastive pairs


Cantonese “aa” in “-aai” is a long vowel. Its sound is similar to “a” as in English father. However, “a” in “-ai” is a short vowel which resembles “u” as in English sun.

To differentiate “-aai” from “-ai”, “-aai” should be pronounced with your jaw more lowered and mouth more open than “-ai”.

Pronunciation hints:


Both “-aam” and “-am” have a nasal ending “m”, which is pronounced with both lips closed, releasing the air from the nose.

Cantonese “aa” on “-aam” is a long vowel. Its sound is similar to “-a” as in English calm. However, “a”in “-am” is a short vowel which resembles English come.

To differentiate “-aam” from “-am”, “-aam” should be pronounced with your jaw more lowered and mouth more open than “-am”.

Note:In Cantonese, some syllables may end with “-p”, “-t”, or “-k”. These are called unreleased stops because your mouth and tongue form a closure in preparation for these sounds, finishing without releasing the air at the end of a syllable. In other words, they are made mute in the production of the sound.

“gwok3” literally means “country” (國家). Hence “faat3 gwok3” is France (法國) and “jing1 gwok3” is The United Kingdom (英國). However, the Cantonese names of some other countries in the table above are apparently the phonetic equivalents of the English sounds, for example: “gaa1 naa4 daai6” for Canada (加拿大), “baa1 gei1 si1 taan2” for Pakistan (巴基斯坦) and “ji3 daai6 lei6” for Italy (意大利).

Grammar 文法 Man4 faat3

Noun “ming4 ci4”(名詞)There is no singular and plural form of the noun. To indicate a number of a noun, a classifier must be added in front of that noun. For example, 一個人“jat1 go3 jan4” means a person, 兩個人 “loeng5 go3 jan4” means two persons and so on.

Classwork 2Try to find out the number of students in your class living in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories:

2. Say “Hello” (Greeting) (問好)The Cantonese way of greeting is similar to that of the western:


nei5 hou2 Hi or Hello 你好

zou2 san4 Good morning 早晨

zoi3 gin3 (baai1 baai3) Good bye 再見（拜拜）

There is no “Good afternoon” and “Good evening” for Cantonese. We may say “你好” “nei5 ho2” instead.

Classwork 3Decide which greeting word you have to use in the following situations. Write the answers in Chinese, if difficult, you may also use some phonetic symbols to replace some characters.

Situation Greeting word

1. Ali goes home after school and meets Aman outside classroom.

2. Aman meets Miss Wong in the early morning in the MTR station.

3. Ali and Aman see each other on Sunday evening.

e.g.我班有五個同學住在九龍。

There are five classmates living in Kowloon.

1. 我班有______同學住在______________________。

2. 我班有____________________________________。

3. __________________________________________。

1. Short Form “gan2 cing1” (簡稱) of Subjects and Countries Subject is “fo1 muk6” (科目) in Cantonese. We can still understand the meaning of “fo1” as subject even when we take away the “muk6” from “fo1 muk6”. Chinese short form is common in use, for example, “tai2 juk6 (體育)” is the short form of “tai2 nang4 gaau3 juk6” (P.E. is the short form of Physical Education). “gwok3” is the short form of “gwok3 gaa1”(country). “Zung1 gwok3” is the short form of “zung1 waa4 jan4 man4 gung6 wo4 gwok3” (China is the short form of “The People’s Republic of China”). “Mei5 gwok3” is the short form of “aa3 mei5 lei6 gin1 hap6 zung3 gwok3” (U.S.A. is the short form of “The United States of America”). “Hoeng1 gong2 dak6 keoi1 (香港特區)” is the short form of “hoeng1 gong2 dak6 bit6 hang4 zing3 keoi1 (香港特別行政區)” (HKSAR is the short form of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region).

Classmate 同學 Subject 科目

2. Particles have a grammatical purpose but often has little or no meaning We always use particles in Cantonese, such as the topic of Unit 1 “Hoi1 hok6 laa3”while the word

“laa3” while the word “laa3” is the particle which shows the manner of speaking or emphasizes the tone of exclamation.

We may add “laa1” at the end of the matter when there is more than one subject of the same nature. Make sure that you use the right tone because the tones of “laa3” and “laa1” are different and so that the feelings are different too.

Classwork 4Try to emphasize the tone with “laa1” for the following sentences:1. I like computer, science and mathematics.2. You like English Language, French and geography.3. She likes music, science and Chinese.4. We like history, Chinese and computer.5. They like P.E., art and social studies.

Cantonese “-aat” is a long vowel. It is similar to “ar” as in British English cart. However, “-at” is a short vowel which resembles “u” as in English cut. To differentiate “-aat” from “-at”, “-aat” should be pronounced with your jaw more lowered and mouth more open than “-at”.

2. Money terms


jyun4 (man1) Dollar 元

gok3 (hou4 zi2) Ten cents 角

When we talk about the money terms in Cantonese, we have to apply the knowledge of number in order to express the price. The unit of “元” “jyun4” and “角” “hou4” (gok3”) have to be applied followed the number. For example, $1 = “jat1 jyun4” or “jat1 man1”;10 cents = “jat1 hou4”; 20 cents = “loeng5 hou4”instead of “ji6 hou4”; $2 is “loeng5 man1” instead of “ji6 jyun4”.The Cantonese for $1.5 is “go3 bun3” instead of “jat1 man1 ng5 hou4”

Classwork 2Tell the amount in Cantonese?(1) $3.4 (2) $5.2 (3) $18.5 (4) $17 (5) $6.7

3. How to say “Thank you” 謝謝 There are two ways of saying “Thank you” in Cantonese: When somebody gives us a gift or a prize, admires or praises us, we should say “do1 ze6” or “do1 ze6 nei5”(Thank you). When someone helps us to solve any problem, we should say “m4 goi1” or “m4 goi1 nei5” (Thank you).

Classwork 3Decide the way of using “Thank you” in Chinese.

Someone helps you to close the door

You receive a birthday gift from your friend

do1 ze6 Your classmates congratulate you after you win the first prize

Your friend picks up something for you

m4 goi1 What will the shopkeeper say when you pay money to buy

something? Your friend helps you to hand in the homework

A teacher gives a prize to you

4. Sentence PatternWhen we ask “Where is the Tuck Shop?” “Where” is the first word in the sentence while “Tuck Shop” is at the end. But in Chinese, the positions of the two words are exchanged with each other. That means “where” (bin1 dou6) is put at the end while “tuck shop” (siu2 sik6 bou6) is put at the beginning of the sentence.The sentence pattern of “There” (go2 dou6) is just the same as “where”.

5.Differentwaysofindicatingfloors Cantonese British American Chinese

saam1 lau2 Second floor Level three 三樓

sei3 lau2 Third floor Level four 四樓 We call second floor when the British say the first floor.（+/- one floor）　 What shall we call the fourth floor in Cantonese? There is Chinese taboo on number four 四“sei3” because its sound is similar to 死“sei2” (death). That is why we find some buildings without level four.
