Peacher Children's Enlightenment English Level B (upgraded version) 's sharing is here again! Maomao continues to read the Blue Star level for everyone!
Today, Maomao shared with you Level B Blue Star picture book -
Slurp! Burp! (Sniff!)
The bear baby in the cover is holding a big fish and gnawing, looking very delicious. How did he get the food? How does it echo the title of the book?
The following pictures and texts involve spoilers (with abridged), the bold font is the original text of the picture book, and the rest are commentary. The pictures are taken from the picture book and are for preview only. Interested readers please purchase the genuine version.
Let’s follow the following to read the audio , and listen and learn!
Slurp! Burp!
(There is only one ice hole on the ice surface in the title page. Combined with the cover picture, we may be able to guess what is in the ice water under this ice hole?)
It was spring. Baby Bear was sleep in the den.
"Come on," said Mum. "Wake up. It is time to go outside."
spring is here. The baby bear is still hibernating in the cave.
Mother Bear said, "Come on, wake up, it's time to go out and have a walk."
(The scene in the cave is very dreamy, with cool blue as the main color, allowing readers to see the cold weather from the picture. The icicles at the entrance of the cave make people feel the temperature of early spring.)
Mum took two big steps. Baby Bear took ten little steps. "Look out!" said Mum. "Icicles!"
"Too late!" said Baby Bear.
Mom took two big steps forward. The baby bear took ten small steps. Mom shouted, "Beware! There are icicles."
bear said, "Oh! It's too late."
(The cute little bear learns from his mother's steps, and the onomatopoeia Jingle and Jangle are written in the picture to express his pace. And we can also see the progress of the two people from the picture on the right: when the bear was accidentally hit by the icicles, he happened to walk to the entrance of the cave)
Mum took two big steps. Baby Bear took ten little steps. They came to the top of a hill. "Let's slide!" said Mum.
Mom took two big steps forward. The baby bear took ten small steps forward. They came to the top of a small hill. Mom said, "Let's slide down!"
(There are ice everywhere in the house, and the slopes up and down are sliding properly! Where is the place where polar bears live on the earth?)
"Mind the bump!" said Mum.
"Too late!" said Baby Bear.
Mother shouted, "Be careful of the steep slope!"
The little bear said, "Oh! It's too late."
(onomatopoeia Whoosh expresses the sound of skating, but the little bear is Ouch, TOO LATE+1)
They found some water. "Let's drink," said Mum.
They found a source of water.Mom said, "Let's drink some water!"
(under the broken ice surface, there is slowly flowing water!)
"Mind the ice!" said Mum.
"Too late!" said Baby Bear.
Mom said, "Be careful of the ice layer."
Bear said, "Oh! It's too late."
(But the ice surface is not fun. You hear a crack, and the other piece of ice is broken. The bear splash fell into the ice water. TOO LATE+2)
They found some fish. "Let's eat!" said Mum.
They found some fish. Mom said, "Let's have something to eat!"
(Did you see the shadow of the fish? Anyway, the bear mom and the bear see it!)
"Too late!" said Baby Bear.
Bear said, "Oh! It's too late."
(This time it seems that it's not a pity! Listen to Slurp, Burp's voice is the smell of the bear eating fish! )
story ends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps young readers who read stories will recall the naughty things they did when they were young, or perhaps parents who accompanied them to read with them will recall the interesting things they had in their children's childhood.
Just like the mother bear and baby bear in the book, mother leads, guides, alerts and protects babies, but will not block the baby's innocent nature, making mother sometimes helpless , sometimes relieved !
Let's look at the back cover question: It is time for Baby Bear to go outside. What will he find?
(Baby bear should come out of the hole. What will he find?) This question on the back cover of
can facilitate young readers to reminisce about the storyline in the book. Children can write or draw the things they remember, then open the book to compare, and see if they still remember the entire content?

onomatopoeia) as the name implies is a word that imitates sound. There are various onomatopoeia, also called onomatopoeia, in English, Chinese, Japanese, French and other languages.

At the same time, this short story brings us a new English knowledge point, that is, imperative tone !
imperative tone (Imperative Mood) is a command-demand tone that is used to tell or instruct the other party to do what. Imperative sentences usually omit the subject. If the imperative tone is converted into a questioning tone, the command becomes a request and the tone becomes tactful.
in the book uses imperative tone, and two structural types are used:
01 omit the subject and start directly with the verb
- Wake up!
- Mind the bump!
- Mind the ice!
This type of imperative tone is more strong , which is usually used to convey particularly important signals such as commands, reminders, warnings, etc.
02 starts with Let, convert the subject into object
- Let's slide!
- Let's drink.
- Let's drink.
- Let's drink.
- Let's eat!
This type of imperative tone has an invitation tone, which is usually used to express the desire to do something with the other party.
In addition, there is a commonly used imperative tone structure, namely:
03 No + noun or gerund
For example:
- No smoking here. (smoking is not allowed here)
- No dogs off-leash. (You can't put the dog leash here)
This type of imperative tone is also very strong, and the meaning is also very Direct , that is, it is prohibited to do something, and it is usually used in public places.
(You can also click the link to refer to the grammar knowledge related to the tone, voice, and tense of sentences)
The three imperative tone sentences mentioned above all have a certain degree of omitted , for example, omitted subject or even predicate.
Elliptical constructions is often used to express the meaning of not being completed, or the meaning of not enumeration, or if you understand, I understand, so I won’t say much.
There is a sentence that is the most frequently used sentence in this book, which is very typical omitted structure :
- Too late!
This sentence from the bear is very naughty. It omits subject and predicate It's s, which not only makes the sentence expression more concise , which is conducive to children's reading, but also adds childlike fun and makes the language more playful cute .
