本文专为学习 WJEC 中文课程的七年级学生编写，梳理了第一年学习普通话时需要掌握的核心语言点、词汇、语法结构和文化常识。无论你是在准备课堂测验还是想夯实基础，这篇梳理都能帮你清晰地建立起知识框架。每个知识块都采用英文解释搭配中文段落的形式，方便你进行双语对照学习。

1. Pinyin and Tones | 拼音与声调

Pinyin is the official romanization system for Standard Mandarin Chinese. It uses the Latin alphabet to represent sounds, but the pronunciation is not always the same as in English. Each syllable can have one of four main tones (plus a neutral tone), which changes the meaning of the word completely. For example, the syllable “ma” pronounced with the first tone means “mother” (mā), while with the third tone it means “horse” (mǎ). The four tones are: first tone (high and level), second tone (rising), third tone (falling-rising), and fourth tone (falling). Mastering tones is one of the most important tasks in Year 7.

拼音是普通话的官方罗马字母拼写系统，它用拉丁字母表示发音，但读音并不总是与英语相同。每个音节可以有一个主声调（加上轻声），声调不同词义完全不同。例如，音节“ma”用第一声读是“妈”，用第三声读则是“马”。四个声调分别为：第一声（高平）、第二声（上升）、第三声（先降后升）和第四声（下降）。掌握声调是七年级阶段最重要的任务之一。

mā (first tone) – mother | 妈 – 母亲
má (second tone) – hemp | 麻 – 麻
mǎ (third tone) – horse | 马 – 马
mà (fourth tone) – to scold | 骂 – 骂
ma (neutral tone) – question particle | 吗 – 疑问语气词

2. Basic Strokes and Stroke Order | 基本笔画与笔顺

Chinese characters are made up of strokes, not letters. In Year 7, you begin by learning the fundamental strokes: horizontal (héng), vertical (shù), left-falling (piě), right-falling (nà), dot (diǎn), and rising (tí). Correct stroke order helps you write characters more neatly and remember them more easily. The general rules of stroke order are: top to bottom, left to right, horizontal before vertical, and outside before inside. Practising the stroke order of each new character is an essential habit.

汉字由笔画构成，而不是字母。在七年级，你首先要学习基本笔画：横、竖、撇、捺、点、提。正确的笔顺能让字写得更工整，也更容易记住字形。笔顺的一般规则是：从上到下、从左到右、先横后竖、先外后内。养成每个生字都练习笔顺的习惯非常重要。

Stroke Name 笔画名称	Example 例子
横 (héng)	一
竖 (shù)	十
撇 (piě)	人
捺 (nà)	八
点 (diǎn)	小
提 (tí)	冷

3. Common Radicals | 常见偏旁部首

A radical is a component of a Chinese character that often gives a clue to its meaning. Learning to recognise common radicals can help you guess the meaning of unfamiliar characters. In Year 7, you will meet radicals such as 亻(rénzìpáng, meaning “person”), 氵(sāndiǎnshuǐ, meaning “water”), 木(mùzìpáng, meaning “tree” or “wood”), 艹(cǎozìtóu, meaning “grass” or “plant”), and 扌(tíshǒupáng, meaning “hand”). For instance, characters with the 氵 radical often relate to water or liquids, like 河 (river) and 海 (sea).

偏旁部首是汉字的组成部分，往往能提示字的大致含义。学会识别常见部首可以帮助你推测生字的意思。七年级会接触到的部首有：亻（单人旁，表示人）、氵（三点水，表示水）、木（木字旁，表示树木）、艹（草字头，表示植物）、扌（提手旁，表示手）等。例如，带有氵的字大多与水或液体有关，如“河”、“海”。

亻: 你 (you), 他 (he), 们 (plural marker for people) | 你、他、们
氵: 江 (river), 河 (river), 洗 (to wash) | 江、河、洗
木: 树 (tree), 林 (forest), 桌 (table) | 树、林、桌
艹: 花 (flower), 草 (grass), 菜 (vegetable) | 花、草、菜

4. Basic Vocabulary: Numbers and Dates | 基础词汇：数字与日期

Numbers are among the first words you learn. In Chinese, the numbers 1 to 10 are straightforward: 一 yī, 二 èr, 三 sān, 四 sì, 五 wǔ, 六 liù, 七 qī, 八 bā, 九 jiǔ, 十 shí. From these, you can build larger numbers by combining them logically; for example, 十五 (shíwǔ) is 15, and 三十八 (sānshíbā) is 38. Dates follow the pattern “year + month + day”, such as 2025年4月8日 (èr líng èr wǔ nián sì yuè bā rì). Days of the week use 星期 (xīngqī) plus a number, with 星期一 being Monday.

数字是你最先学到的词汇之一。中文里一到十很简单：一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十。在此基础上，你可以按逻辑组合出更大的数字，比如十五是15，三十八是38。日期遵循“年+月+日”的顺序，如2025年4月8日。星期几用“星期”加上数字来表示，星期一是Monday。

Number 数字	Pinyin 拼音	Day 星期	Pinyin 拼音
1 一	yī	星期一	xīngqīyī
2 二	èr	星期二	xīngqī’èr
3 三	sān	星期三	xīngqīsān
4 四	sì	星期四	xīngqīsì
5 五	wǔ	星期五	xīngqīwǔ
6 六	liù	星期六	xīngqīliù

5. Basic Word Order and Sentence Structure | 基础语序与句子结构

Chinese sentence structure is generally Subject + Verb + Object (SVO), which is similar to English. In Year 7, you will practise simple statements like “I like cats” (Wǒ xǐhuān māo). However, there are differences: adjectives can act as predicates without a verb “to be”, and adverbs usually come before the verb. For example, “He is tall” is simply “Tā hěn gāo” (he + very + tall), and “I also eat” is “Wǒ yě chī”. Time expressions (when) normally go before the verb, either at the beginning of the sentence or after the subject.

中文的基本语序是主语+动词+宾语（SVO），与英语相似。七年级你会练习简单陈述句，如“我喜欢猫”。但也有一些不同：形容词可以直接作谓语，不需要“是”；副词通常放在动词前面。例如，“He is tall”的对应说法是“他很高”，“I also eat”是“我也吃”。时间词（何时）一般放在动词之前，可以置于句首，也可以放在主语之后。

我吃饭。 (I eat rice/meal.) | 我吃饭。
他很高。 (He is tall.) | 他很高。
我明天去学校。 (I am going to school tomorrow.) | 我明天去学校。
她也喜欢中文。 (She also likes Chinese.) | 她也喜欢中文。

6. Introduction to Measure Words (量词) | 量词简介

In Chinese, when a number is used with a noun, a measure word (also called a classifier) must be placed between them. You cannot say “one book” directly; you need to say “one + measure word + book”. The most common general measure word is 个 (gè), which can be used for people and many objects. However, specific nouns often have their own measure words. Key ones for Year 7 include: 本 (běn) for books, 支 (zhī) for pens, 张 (zhāng) for flat objects like paper, and 只 (zhī) for certain animals. Using the correct measure word shows good language control.

中文里当数词与名词连用时，中间必须加入量词。不能直接说“一书”，而要说“一本+书”。最常用的通用量词是“个”，适用于人和许多事物。但很多名词有自己特定的量词。七年级需要掌握的量词有：本（用于书）、支（用于笔）、张（用于纸等平面物品）、只（用于某些动物）。正确使用量词是语言功力的体现。

一个人 (one person) | 一个人
两本书 (two books) | 两本书
三支笔 (three pens) | 三支笔
一张纸 (one piece of paper) | 一张纸
一只猫 (one cat) | 一只猫

7. Sentences with “是” (shì) and “有” (yǒu) | “是”字句与“有”字句

The verb 是 (shì) is used to link two noun phrases or a noun and a description of identity, equivalent to “am/is/are”. In Year 7, you learn to introduce yourself and others: “我是学生” (I am a student), “他是老师” (He is a teacher). Note that 是 is not used with adjectives – you would not say “他是高”. The verb 有 (yǒu) means “to have” or “there is/are”. It is used to express possession, such as “我有一只狗” (I have a dog), or existence, as in “教室里有很多人” (There are many people in the classroom).

动词“是”用来连接两个名词性成分，或表示身份，相当于英语的“am/is/are”。七年级你要学会介绍自己和他人：“我是学生”、“他是老师”。注意，“是”不与形容词连用，不能说“他是高”。动词“有”表示“拥有”或“存在”。表拥有时如“我有一只狗”，表存在时如“教室里有很多人”。

我是英国人。 (I am British.) | 我是英国人。
你是谁？ (Who are you?) | 你是谁？
我有一个哥哥。 (I have an older brother.) | 我有一个哥哥。
学校有很多学生。 (The school has/There are many students.) | 学校有很多学生。

8. Negation: 不 (bù) and 没 (méi) | 否定形式：不 / 没

Chinese uses two main negation words: 不 (bù) and 没 (méi). 不 is used to negate present and future actions, and with adjectives. For example, “I don’t like” is “我不喜欢”, and “not tall” is “不高”. 没 (or 没有) is used for the past (to say something did not happen) and with the verb 有. So “I didn’t go” is “我没去”, and “I don’t have” is “我没有”. You cannot say “不有”. In Year 7, it is important to learn which negator goes with which context, as mixing them up is a common beginner mistake.

中文里主要有两个否定词：不和没。“不”用来否定现在和将来的动作，以及形容词。例如，“不喜欢”和“不高”。“没”（或“没有”）用于过去否定（表示某事没有发生）以及与“有”连用。所以“我没去”表示过去没去，“我没有”表示不拥有。不能说“不有”。七年级必须分清这两个否定词的语境，混淆是初学者常见的错误。

我不想去。 (I don’t want to go.) | 我不想去。
今天不冷。 (Today is not cold.) | 今天不冷。
昨天我没看电视。 (I didn’t watch TV yesterday.) | 昨天我没看电视。
我没有时间。 (I don’t have time.) | 我没有时间。

9. Asking Questions | 疑问句

There are several easy ways to form questions in Chinese. The simplest is to add the particle 吗 (ma) to the end of a statement: “你好吗?” (How are you?). Another common method is to use question words like 什么 (shénme – what), 谁 (shéi – who), 哪儿/哪里 (nǎr/nǎlǐ – where), and 为什么 (wèishénme – why). The word order does not change; the question word simply takes the place of the answer. You can also ask a yes/no question by presenting the positive and negative forms of the verb together, for example: “是不是?” (Is it or isn’t it?) or “你有没有?” (Do you have or not?).

中文里轻松构成疑问句有几种方式。最简单的是在陈述句末尾加上语气词“吗”：“你好吗？”另一种常用方法是用疑问词，如什么、谁、哪儿/哪里、为什么。此时语序不变，疑问词直接放在回答的位置上。还可以通过动词的正反并列形式来提问，如“是不是？”、“有没有？”。这些结构在七年级都会反复练习。

你是学生吗？ (Are you a student?) | 你是学生吗？
这是什么？ (What is this?) | 这是什么？
你的朋友在哪儿？ (Where is your friend?) | 你的朋友在哪儿？
你有没有中文书？ (Do you have a Chinese book?) | 你有没有中文书？

10. Greetings and Basic Conversation | 问候与基本会话

Year 7 Chinese places a strong emphasis on speaking and simple dialogues. The most common greeting is “你好” (nǐ hǎo), meaning “hello”. You also learn how to ask someone’s name with “你叫什么名字?” and answer with “我叫…”. Other essential phrases include “谢谢” (xièxie, thank you), “对不起” (duìbuqǐ, sorry), “再见” (zàijiàn, goodbye), and “请” (qǐng, please). Talking about your family, your age and your hobbies forms a large part of early conversation practice. For example, “我十二岁” (I am twelve years old) and “我喜欢运动” (I like sports) are typical sentences.

七年级中文非常注重口语和简单对话。最常见的问候是“你好”。你还学会了如何询问姓名：“你叫什么名字？”以及回答“我叫…”。其他必备用语包括“谢谢”、“对不起”、“再见”和“请”。谈论家人、年龄和爱好是早期对话练习的主要内容。比如“我十二岁”和“我喜欢运动”都是典型句型。

A: 你好！ Nǐ hǎo! – B: 你好！ Nǐ hǎo! | 你好！
A: 你叫什么名字？ – B: 我叫小明。 | 你叫什么名字？——我叫小明。
A: 你几岁？ – B: 我十二岁。 | 你几岁？——我十二岁。
A: 你喜欢什么？ – B: 我喜欢听音乐。 | 你喜欢什么？——我喜欢听音乐。

11. Cultural Note: Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival | 文化点滴：春节与中秋节

The WJEC curriculum also introduces you to Chinese festivals. Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival (Chūnjié), is the most important traditional festival. It usually falls in January or February and is a time for family reunions, red envelopes (hóngbāo) with lucky money, and eating dumplings. People often say “新年快乐” (Xīnnián kuàilè, Happy New Year) or “恭喜发财” (Gōngxǐ fācái). The Mid-Autumn Festival (Zhōngqiūjié) takes place in September or October. Families gather to admire the full moon and eat mooncakes (yuèbǐng). These cultural topics help you understand the context behind the language.

WJEC课程也会向你介绍中国节日。春节是最重要的传统节日，通常在公历一月或二月，是家庭团圆、发红包和吃饺子的日子。人们常说“新年快乐”或“恭喜发财”。中秋节在九月或十月，家人聚在一起赏月、吃月饼。了解这些文化话题能帮助你理解语言背后的传统。

春节 (Chūnjié) – Spring Festival / Chinese New Year | 春节
红包 (hóngbāo) – red envelope with money | 红包
新年快乐 (Xīnnián kuàilè) – Happy New Year | 新年快乐
中秋节 (Zhōngqiūjié) – Mid-Autumn Festival | 中秋节
月饼 (yuèbǐng) – mooncake | 月饼

12. Revision and Learning Tips | 复习与学习建议

To succeed in Year 7 Chinese, regular practice is essential. Spend a few minutes every day reviewing characters by writing them with correct stroke order. Use flashcards or apps to drill vocabulary and tones. When learning a new word, always say it out loud to build muscle memory for the tones. Try to use the language in short conversations, even if it is just greeting a classmate or naming objects around you. Pairing the English explanation with the Chinese helps your brain to switch between the two systems. Keep a learning diary where you write one short sentence in Chinese each day.

要在七年级学好中文，坚持练习至关重要。每天花几分钟复习汉字，按正确笔顺书写。利用生词卡片或应用来反复练习词汇和声调。每学一个新词时，大声朗读，让口腔肌肉记住发音。尽量在简短对话中使用中文，哪怕只是和同学打招呼，或者说出身边物品的名称。英文和中文的解释对照也可以帮助大脑进行双语切换。准备一个学习日记，每天写一句简单的中文。持之以恒，你会发现进步比想象中快得多。
