In the springtime, flowers called apple blossoms begin to bloom on apple trees. Each blossom has to be pollinated in order for an apple to grow. The blossoms are usually pollinated by insects or by wind. After a while the blossoms begin to die and the apples start to grow. Throughout the warm summer the little apples grow bigger and bigger. During the late summer or early fall the apples ripen. 《苹果》-----Gail Gibbons 在春天,苹果树开满了苹果花。每朵花必须经过授粉才可结成一个苹果。授粉通常是靠风和昆虫进行的。花儿授粉后不久就会死去,但在死去的花上,新结的苹果开始生长。在整个夏天,小苹果越长越大。在夏末或早秋时节,苹果就成熟了. Teaching Point: Notice in this passage, the author writes in a timeline format. First blossoms bloom, then the blossom is pollinated, then apple starts to grow, and at last apple ripens. The structure of this passage is time order. 在本段中, 作者用时间顺讯来组织文章,先开花,之后授粉,之后小苹果开始长, 最后苹果成熟。时间顺序安排文章使得读者对整个苹果生长过程有清晰了解 |
