这个单元有 5 章:主题课文"认识 Emily 一家"、词汇延展(家族词族)、语法延展(be 动词与 have got)、功能句型(自我介绍与介绍他人)、KET 考点与自测。
学完你能:用 80+ 个家庭词汇介绍自己和家人,be 动词和 have got 张口就来不出错,还能在 KET 口语 Part 1 里流利回答"Tell me about your family"。
预计时间:1 周(每天 30–40 分钟)。
前后衔接:上接 YLE Flyers 的家庭话题,下接 Unit 2 学校生活——家庭是 KET 第一个高频主题,后面每个单元都会回来用到它。
先读 Emily 一家的故事把词汇带出来,再把家族词族一次背一串,然后攻克 be 和 have got 这对"动词骨架",最后练自我介绍和考试题型。五步走完,这个主题就彻底是你的了。
主题课文 · 认识 Emily 一家
如果有人用英语问你 "How many people are there in your family?"(你家有几口人?),你能一口气答上来吗?KET 口语 Part 1 十次有八次会问这个。读课文之前先在心里用中文把答案过一遍,读完课文再试一次——你会发现英语版脱口而出了。
课文 · A Family of Five
课文精讲 · 三遍读法
论为什么课文要读三遍
第一遍 · 猜:不查词典,通读一遍,用图片和上下文猜意思。目标是"大概懂 60%"。
第二遍 · 查:把加粗核心词查一遍音标和意思,对照中文译文,把不懂的句子标出来。
第三遍 · 跟读:点句子上的发音按钮(或跟音频),一句一句跟读 3 遍,模仿语气和连读。KET 听力考的就是"真实语速"——你不跟读,就永远听不懂真人说话。
为什么这样学:KET 阅读 60% 的词汇题都出自"主题课文里的搭配"(比如 live in a town、a family of five、visit my grandparents)。课文读熟了,这些搭配就自动进脑子,比背单词表快一倍。
① a family of five 五口之家(介绍家庭必备)
② the oldest / the youngest 最大的 / 最小的(比较家庭排行)
③ live near / live in 住在附近 / 住在(介词不能错)
④ at weekends 在周末(英国用法;美国人说 on weekends)
⑤ visit my grandparents 看望祖父母(visit 后面直接跟人)
家族关系树 · 直系与旁系
| 关系组 | 核心词(会拼写) | 识别词(认识即可) |
|---|---|---|
| 父母辈 | mother, father, parents, mum, dad | stepmother, stepfather |
| 兄弟姐妹 | brother, sister, twin | half-brother, half-sister |
| 祖辈 | grandparents, grandpa, grandma | great-grandparents |
| 旁系 | uncle, aunt, cousin | nephew, niece |
| 姻亲 | husband, wife, married | mother-in-law, father-in-law |
| 孩子辈 | child, children, baby, kid, only child | teenager, adult |
| 家庭整体 | family, home, house, relative | household, close family |
home 和 house 不是一回事:house 是"房子"(建筑),home 是"家"(有情感的地方)。"我回家了"说 I went home,不说 I went house。"我家有四口人"说 There are four people in my family,不是 in my home。另外 relatives(亲戚)和 parents(父母)别混:parents 只有爸妈俩。
搭配与例句 · 会组词才算会
语法延展 · be 动词与 have got,动词骨架第一步
be 动词 · 我是谁、我多大、我在哪(可参看「be 动词完整体系」深化页)
| 主语 | 肯定 | 否定 / 疑问 |
|---|---|---|
| I | I'm twelve. I am a student. | I'm not twelve. / Am I twelve? |
| he / she / it | She is a doctor. He's my brother. | She isn't a doctor. / Is she a doctor? |
| you / we / they | You are my friend. They are my parents. | They aren't my parents. / Are they your parents? |
论be 动词的三种"翻译"
① 是:She is a doctor.(她是医生。)
② 年龄/状态(中文不翻译):I 'm twelve.(我 12 岁——中文没有"是"字,但英语必须有 is!)
③ 位置:We 're at home.(我们在家——"在"就是 be。)
为什么易错:中文"我 12 岁""我高兴""我在家"都不用动词,英语每一句都得有 is/am/are。中国考生写 "I twelve years old" 是 KET 写作第一大错——记住:英语句子必须有动词,没有动作就有 be。
have got · 我有什么(可参看「have got 体系」深化页)
| 主语 | 肯定 | 否定 / 疑问 |
|---|---|---|
| I / you / we / they | I've got a cat. / I have a cat. | I haven't got a cat. / Have you got a cat? |
| he / she / it | She's got a sister. / She has a sister. | She hasn't got a sister. / Has she got a sister? |
have got 和 have 都对,但别混着用:口语考试用 have got(I've got two brothers),写作用 have 更正式(I have two brothers)。注意 have got 的"got"永远不变——She has got(不是 she has gets)。还有:否定要加 any(I haven't got any sisters),这是 KET 填空必考。
情景操练 · 用这两个动词说自己的家
即学即用:用 be 和 have got 说你的家
练习1(填空):① I ___ twelve years old. ② She ___ got a brother. ③ ___ you got any sisters? ④ They ___ my grandparents.
练习2(改错):下面三句各有一个错:① I have got a cat and she have got a dog. ② He is my brother and he 12 years old. ③ There are five people in my home.
练习3(写自己的话):用 3 句话介绍你的家庭:一句 be(我多大/我在哪),一句 have got(我有什么家人/宠物),一句综合(我家几口人)。

- 练习1:① am ② has(she has got) ③ Have(Have you got...) ④ are
- 练习2:① she has got(she have got → 三单用 has) ② he is 12(缺 be 动词) ③ in my family("我家几口人"用 family 不是 home)

KET 考点 · 家庭主题在试卷里怎么考
四张卷里的家庭题长什么样
| 卷子 | 题型示例 | 应对策略 |
|---|---|---|
| Reading Part 2 | 7 个人物短文匹配 3 个选项:"Who lives with his grandparents?" | 先读选项抓关键词(family/grandparents/brother),再回短文找同义词 |
| Reading Part 5 | 完形填空:"...my sister is ___ than me."(older) | 考比较级 + 家庭词,本单元核心词直接命中 |
| Listening Part 4 | 听一段家庭活动通知填表:name / age / number | 数字和年龄是必填项,提前在草稿写 1-20 的数字拼写 |
| Writing Part 6 | 便条:"Write a note to your mum about your brother's birthday party." | 三要素:时间、地点、人物,本单元词直接用 |
| Speaking Part 1 | "Tell me about your family." | 套第 4 章模板,主动反问加分 |
① 数字坑:听力里 thirteen 和 thirty 分不清——thirteen 重音在后(thir-TEEN),thirty 重音在前(THIR-ty),而且 thirteen 尾音 /n/,thirty 尾音 /i/。KET 听力 Part 4 填年龄必考。
② 关系坑:"My mother's brother is my ___"——答案是 uncle(不是 cousin!cousin 是"堂/表兄弟姐妹")。这种"谁是谁"的题 KET 阅读 Part 2 超爱出。
③ 所有格坑:my mother's brother(我妈妈的兄弟)——名词所有格加 's,KET 写作里漏 's 会扣分。
