本文全面梳理九年级 WJEC 中文课程的核心知识点，涵盖重要词汇、句型和文化常识。通过中英对照的形式，帮助同学们系统复习基础内容，为听说读写能力的提升打下扎实基础，顺利衔接后续学习。
1. Pinyin and Tones | 拼音与声调
Accurate pronunciation starts with pinyin, the Romanisation system for Chinese. There are four main tones plus a neutral tone. Each tone changes the meaning of a syllable. For example: mā (mother), má (hemp), mǎ (horse), mà (scold) and ma (question particle). Practising tone pairs such as māma (mother) helps build fluency. Always pay attention to the tone marks when you read aloud.
准确的发音离不开拼音。普通话有四个声调和一个轻声，不同声调可以区分词义。例如：mā（妈）、má（麻）、mǎ（马）、mà（骂）、ma（吗）。练习声调组合如”妈妈”，能够帮助提升流利度。朗读时务必留意声调符号。
| Tone | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1st (high level) | ¯ | mā (mother) |
| 2nd (rising) | ˊ | má (hemp) |
| 3rd (falling-rising) | ˇ | mǎ (horse) |
| 4th (falling) | ˋ | mà (scold) |
| Neutral | no mark | ma (question particle) |
Besides single syllables, tone changes can occur in natural speech. For instance, when two third-tone syllables appear together, the first one changes to the second tone, e.g. nǐ hǎo → ní hǎo. Mastering these rules will make your spoken Chinese much smoother.
除了单字声调，真实语流中还存在变调。比如两个三声相连时，第一个三声变为二声，像”你好”实际读成 ní hǎo。掌握这些规则能让口语更加自然流畅。
2. Greetings and Introductions | 问候与介绍
Basic greetings are the gateway to any conversation. Common phrases include Nǐ hǎo (Hello), Zǎoshang hǎo (Good morning), and Nǐ jiào shénme míngzì? (What is your name?). When introducing yourself, you can say Wǒ jiào… (My name is…) or Wǒ shì… (I am…). To ask about others, use Tā shì shéi? (Who is that?). Polite expressions like qǐng (please), xièxie (thank you) and bú kèqì (you’re welcome) are essential in daily interactions.
基本问候语是交际的起点。常用表达有”你好”、”早上好”、”你叫什么名字？”介绍自己可以说”我叫……”或者”我是……”。询问他人用”他/她是谁？”。日常交流中离不开”请”、”谢谢”、”不客气”等礼貌用语。
| English | Chinese | Pinyin |
|---|---|---|
| Hello | 你好 | Nǐ hǎo |
| Goodbye | 再见 | Zàijiàn |
| Thank you | 谢谢 | Xièxie |
| You’re welcome | 不客气 | Bú kèqì |
| Sorry | 对不起 | Duìbuqǐ |
When meeting someone for the first time, you might also ask Nǐ duō dà? (How old are you?) or Nǐ shì nǎ guó rén? (Which country are you from?). Answering with Wǒ … suì and Wǒ shì Yīngguó rén (I am British) is a great way to build a short dialogue.
初次见面时还可以问”你多大？”或者”你是哪国人？”。回答”我……岁”、”我是英国人”等，就可以完成一个简短对话。
3. Numbers, Dates and Time | 数字、日期与时间
Numbers are used everywhere, from telling the time to stating your age. The numbers 0–10 are: líng (0), yī (1), èr (2), sān (3), sì (4), wǔ (5), liù (6), qī (7), bā (8), jiǔ (9), shí (10). Larger numbers follow a logical pattern: shíyī (11), èrshí (20), sānshíyī (31), etc. 100 is yìbǎi.
数字无处不在，从报时到说明年龄都离不开。数字0–10为：零、一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十。更大的数字规律组合，如十一（11）、二十（20）、三十一（31）等。一百是 yìbǎi。
Dates are expressed in the order year-month-day: 2025 nián bā yuè shí wǔ rì (15 August 2025). Days of the week start with xīngqī followed by a number, e.g. xīngqīyī (Monday). Months are simply the number plus yuè: yīyuè (January), èryuè (February).
日期按照年、月、日的顺序表达：2025 年八月十五日。星期用”星期”加数字表示，如星期一。月份直接用数字加”月”：一月、二月。
Time is introduced with diǎn (o’clock) and fēn (minute). For example, bā diǎn bàn (8:30), qī diǎn shíwǔ fēn (7:15) and liù diǎn wǔshí fēn (6:50). You can use kè for quarter hours: yī kè (15 minutes), sān kè (45 minutes).
时间表达用”点”和”分”。比如八点半、七点十五分、六点五十分。刻可以用来表达 quarter：一刻（15分）、三刻（45分）。
4. Family and Pets | 家庭与宠物
Talking about family is a key topic. Common family members include bàba (dad), māma (mum), gēge (older brother), jiějie (older sister), dìdi (younger brother) and mèimei (younger sister). Grandparents are yéye (paternal grandfather), nǎinai (paternal grandmother), lǎoye (maternal grandfather) and lǎolao (maternal grandmother). The verb yǒu (to have) is used to describe family composition: Wǒ yǒu yí ge gēge hé yí ge mèimei. (I have an older brother and a younger sister.)
谈论家庭是重要话题。常见的家庭成员有爸爸、妈妈、哥哥、姐姐、弟弟、妹妹。祖父母区分父系和母系：爷爷、奶奶、姥爷、姥姥。动词”有”用来描述家庭构成：”我有一个哥哥和一个妹妹。”
Pets are often introduced with the measure word zhī for most animals, e.g. Wǒ yǒu yì zhī gǒu (I have a dog) and yì zhī māo (a cat). You can also add adjectives like kě’ài (cute) or dà (big). Remember that the negative form uses méi yǒu: Wǒ méi yǒu chǒngwù (I don’t have pets).
宠物通常用数量词”只”，如”我有一只狗”、”一只猫”。还可以加上形容词”可爱”、”大”等。否定形式用”没有”：”我没有宠物。”
5. School Life and Subjects | 学校生活与科目
School vocabulary covers subjects, classrooms and daily routines. Core subjects are shùxué (maths), yīngyǔ (English), kēxué (science), tǐyù (PE) and zhōngwén (Chinese). To express likes and dislikes, use xǐhuan (like) and bù xǐhuan (dislike): Wǒ xǐhuan kēxué, yīnwèi hěn yǒuqù. (I like science because it is very interesting.)
学校词汇涉及科目、教室和日常活动。核心科目有数学、英语、科学、体育和中文。表达喜好用”喜欢”和”不喜欢”：”我喜欢科学，因为很有趣。”
You can also describe your timetable with time expressions: Wǒ měitiān shàngwǔ jiǔ diǎn yǒu shùxué kè. (I have maths at 9 am every day.) The word hěn (very) is often used before adjectives even when you are not emphasising, e.g. Gōngkè hěn duō (There is a lot of homework).
还可结合时间描述课表：”我每天上午九点有数学课。”形容词前常加”很”，即使不强调程度，如”功课很多”。
6. Daily Routines and Activities | 日常作息与活动
Describing your daily routine involves time phrases and action verbs. Key verbs include qǐchuáng (get up), chī zǎofàn (eat breakfast), qù shàngxué (go to school), shàngkè (attend class), wánr (play) and shuìjiào (sleep). The sentence pattern Wǒ jǐ diǎn zuò shénme means “I do something at a certain time”: Wǒ qī diǎn bàn qǐchuáng. (I get up at 7:30.)
描述日常生活需要时间短语和动作动词。重点动词有起床、吃早饭、去上学、上课、玩儿、睡觉。句型”我几点做什么”表达固定安排：”我七点半起床。”
To sequence events, use xiān… ránhòu… (first… then…). For example: Xiān shuāyá, ránhòu chī zǎofàn. (First brush teeth, then eat breakfast.) You can also mention how you go to school: Wǒ zuò gōnggòng qìchē shàngxué. (I go to school by bus.)
可用”先……然后……”排序：”先刷牙，然后吃早饭。”还可说明交通方式：”我坐公共汽车上学。”
7. Food and Drinks | 食物与饮料
Food is a popular topic in Chinese lessons. Common items are mǐfàn (rice), miàntiáo (noodles), shuǐguǒ (fruit), niúnǎi (milk) and chá (tea). To express preferences, use xǐhuan and the measure word appropriately: Wǒ xǐhuan chī píngguǒ. (I like eating apples.) For drinks, Wǒ xiǎng hē yì bēi chá. (I would like a cup of tea.)
食物是中文课的热门话题。常见的有米饭、面条、水果、牛奶和茶。表达喜好时用”喜欢”并搭配恰当的量词：”我喜欢吃苹果。”饮料方面：”我想喝一杯茶。”
You should also learn to ask about prices and order food: Zhè ge duōshao qián? (How much is this?) and Wǒ yào yí ge… (I would like one…). The structure … zěnmeyàng? can be used to ask for opinions: Zhōngguó cài zěnmeyàng? (How is Chinese food?) Possible replies include hěn hǎochī (very tasty) or wǒ juéde búcuò (I think it’s not bad).
还需要学会询问价格和点餐：”这个多少钱？””我要一个……。”用”……怎么样？”询问看法：”中国菜怎么样？”可以回答”很好吃”或”我觉得不错”。
8. Shopping and Prices | 购物与价格
Shopping dialogues involve numbers, measure words and courtesies. When buying fruit, you might say: Wǒ xiǎng mǎi yì jīn píngguǒ. (I’d like to buy one jin of apples.) The measure word jīn is used for weight, while gè is for individual items: Liǎng ge bēizi. (Two cups.)
购物对话离不开数字、量词和礼貌用语。买水果时可以说：”我想买一斤苹果。”量词”斤”表示重量，”个”表示单个物品：”两个杯子。”
Asking about price uses duōshao qián: Yīfu duōshao qián?
