岁月如歌,记住每一个闪闪发光的日子!
每年最让人期待的那一天是哪一天?当然是吃蛋糕、吹蜡烛、收礼物的生日啦!在初中的校园里,除了同学生日,还有热闹的校运动会、精彩的艺术节、篮球赛和图书大义卖。
在第八单元(Unit 8: When is your birthday?),我们将认识英语日历里的 12 个月份、掌握**序数词(第几)**的拼读魔法,学会谈论生日、年龄与校园活动日程!
一、核心词汇与发音宝盒(教材原文)
1. 英语 12 个月份(必须大写首字母!)
- January /‘dZ{nju@ri/ n. 一月(Jan.)
- February /‘febru@ri/ n. 二月(Feb.)
- March /mA:(r)tS/ n. 三月(Mar.)
- April /‘eIpr@l/ n. 四月(Apr.)
- May /meI/ n. 五月(May)
- June /dZu:n/ n. 六月(Jun.)
- July /dZu’laI/ n. 七月(Jul.)
- August /‘O:g@st/ n. 八月(Aug.)
- September /sep’temb@(r)/ n. 九月(Sep.)
- October /Qk’t@Ub@(r)/ n. 十月(Oct.)
- November /n@U’vemb@(r)/ n. 十一月(Nov.)
- December /dI’semb@(r)/ n. 十二月(Dec.)
2. 基数词变序数词(表示“第几天/第几号”)口诀
基数词表示“几个”,序数词表示“第几个”:
一、二、三,特殊记:first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd);
th 要从四加起:fourth (4th), sixth (6th), seventh (7th)…
八减 t,九去 e:eighth (8th), ninth (9th);
ve 要用 f 替:five -> fifth (5th), twelve -> twelfth (12th);
ty 变 tie:twenty -> twentieth (20th), thirty -> thirtieth (30th);
若是遇到几十几,只变个位就可以:twenty-first (21st), thirty-first (31st)!
3. 其他核心词汇与短语
- happy /‘h{pi/ adj. 愉快的;高兴的
- Happy birthday! 生日快乐!
- old /@Uld/ adj. 年老的;古老的
- How old are you? 你多大了?(询问年龄:I’m 13 years old.)
- party /‘pA:(r)ti/ n. 聚会;晚会(birthday party 生日聚会)
- term /t3:(r)m/ n. 学期(this term 这学期)

二、初中核心语法:时间介词 in 与 on 的精准分辨
在初一英语考试中,介词 in 和 on 的选择是必考点。记住这句顺口溜:
“年月季节都用 in,具体某天要用 on!”
1. 介词 in:用在“大时间段”(月份、年份、季节)
- When is her birthday?
-> It’s in August.(在八月。——只说了月份,没说哪一天,用 in)
-> in 2026(在 2026 年)
-> in spring(在春天)
2. 介词 on:用在“具体的某一天”或“带日期的那一天”
- When is your birthday?
-> My birthday is on May 2nd.(在 5 月 2 日。——有具体几号,必须用 on!) - When is the party?
-> It is on October 5th.(在 10 月 5 日。) - on Sunday(在星期天)
3. 名词所有格 ‘s(表示“……的”)
- Sally’s birthday party(萨莉的生日聚会)
- my father’s birthday(我父亲的生日)
- Alice’s calendar(爱丽丝的日程表)
三、经典课文对话与阅读(教材原文)
对话 1:询问朋友的生日与年龄(Section A 2d Role-play)
Bill: Hi, Alan. Happy birthday!
Alan: Thank you, Bill.
Bill: So, how old are you, Alan?
Alan: I’m twelve. How old are you?

Alan: When is your birthday?
Bill: My birthday is in August.
Alan: Well, do you want to come to my birthday party?
Bill: When is it?
Alan: At three this afternoon.
Bill: OK, great. See you!
短文 2:丰富充实的学校学期通知(Section B 2b Reading)

四、写给家长(伴读锦囊)
各位家长朋友,Unit 8 蕴含着丰富的家庭亲情与时间管理观念。在家里可以这样跟孩子开展有温度的伴读:
- 对应教材哪个单元:Unit 8: When is your birthday?(教材第 43–48 页)。
- 在家可以怎样读或问答(家庭生日与纪念日备忘录):
- 查查全家人的生日:翻开手机日历,问孩子:“When is Mom’s birthday? When is Dad’s birthday?”,引导孩子用:“Your birthday is on [月份] [序数词]th.” 回答,并检查孩子序数词发音是否咬舌。
- 介词 in 和 on 考题小挑战:家长报短语,让孩子迅速补上介词:“____ May 2nd”(孩子抢答:on!),“____ August”(抢答:in!),把做题直觉练出来。
- 读懂学校日程通知:对照 2b 的通知,让孩子扮演学校广播员,把这学期的 6 项活动和时间流利播报一遍。
- 怎样算学完:
- 孩子能准确朗读并默写 12 个月份名称及常用序数词(1st–31st),不漏掉大写;
- 孩子能自如区分 in 与 on 的时间搭配,不发生混淆;
- 孩子能流利背诵并演练 2d 对话,并能模仿写出一则简短的活动邀请便条(如邀请同学来参加周末生日派对)。
