下表列出了七年级 WJEC 生物课程中你将遇到的核心术语。学习它们的含义，并大声练习朗读。
| English Term | 中文术语 | Simple Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Nucleus | 细胞核 | Controls the cell |
| Cytoplasm | 细胞质 | Jelly-like substance where reactions occur |
| Cell membrane | 细胞膜 | Controls what enters and leaves the cell |
| Mitochondria | 线粒体 | Site of respiration |
| Chloroplast | 叶绿体 | Contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis |
| Organ | 器官 | Made of tissues, performs a specific function |
| Digestion | 消化 | Breaking down food into small molecules |
| Photosynthesis | 光合作用 | Plants use sunlight to make food |
| Ecosystem | 生态系统 | Community of living things and their environment |
| Predator | 捕食者 | Animal that hunts other animals |
Use the table to test a friend: say the term in English and ask for the definition, or listen to the Chinese term and give the English word.
你可以用这张表来测试朋友：说出英文术语让对方释义，或听中文术语说出英文词。
3. Pronunciation Practice for Scientific Terms | 科学术语发音练习
Many biology words look long but can be broken into syllables. Practise saying them slowly, and then at a normal speed. Here are some examples with syllable breaks:
很多生物词汇看起来很长，但可以拆分成音节。先慢读练习，再正常语速朗读。以下是一些音节拆分示例：
Mi-to-chon-dri-a (My-toe-con-dree-uh) — mitochondria
Chlo-ro-plast (Klor-oh-plast) — chloroplast
Pho-to-syn-the-sis (Foe-toe-sin-thuh-sis) — photosynthesis
Oe-so-pha-gus (Ee-sof-uh-gus) — oesophagus
Try repeating each word three times: once while looking at the syllable break, once without looking, and once using it in a sentence such as 'The chloroplast is found in plant cells.' (叶绿体存在于植物细胞中。)
试着把每个单词重复三遍：一遍看着音节拆分，一遍不看，最后一遍在句子中使用，如 'The chloroplast is found in plant cells.'
4. Describing Cell Structures | 描述细胞结构
A typical speaking task is to describe a plant or animal cell. You should be able to name the main parts and explain their functions. Here is a model description:
常见的口语任务是描述一个植物或动物细胞。你应该能说出主要结构并解释其功能。以下是一个示范描述：
'This is a plant cell. It has a rigid cell wall that gives the cell its shape. Inside, there is a nucleus which controls all activities. The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance where chemical reactions happen. There are also chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis, and a large vacuole filled with cell sap.'
“这是一个植物细胞。它有坚硬的细胞壁，赋予细胞形状。里面有控制所有活动的细胞核。细胞质是果冻状的物质，化学反应在此发生。还有进行光合作用的叶绿体，以及充满细胞液的大液泡。”
Now try describing an animal cell, mentioning the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria. Record your voice and listen back for clarity.
现在尝试描述动物细胞，提及细胞膜、细胞核、细胞质和线粒体。录下自己的声音并回听，检查清晰度。
5. Explaining Organ Systems | 解释器官系统
You may need to explain how an organ system works. For the digestive system, you can say: 'Food enters the mouth where it is chewed and mixed with saliva. It then travels down the oesophagus into the stomach. In the stomach, acids and enzymes break it down further. Next, partly digested food moves into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the blood.'
你可能需要解释器官系统如何工作。对于消化系统，可以这样说：“食物进入口腔，被咀嚼并与唾液混合。然后沿食道下行进入胃。在胃里，酸和酶将它进一步分解。接下来，部分消化的食物进入小肠，营养被吸收进入血液。”
Practise with the respiratory system: 'When you breathe in, air enters the nose or mouth, goes down the trachea, and reaches the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide is removed.'
练习呼吸系统：“吸气时，空气进入鼻子或口腔，沿气管下行到达肺部。在肺里，氧气进入血液，二氧化碳被排出。”
6. Discussing Ecosystems and Food Chains | 讨论生态系统和食物链
For a speaking task on ecosystems, you might describe a simple food chain. Example: 'In a pond ecosystem, algae are the producers. They are eaten by small water insects, which are the primary consumers. Fish then eat the insects, and finally, a heron might eat the fish. This is a food chain.'
在做关于生态系统的口语任务时，你可能会描述一条简单的食物链。例如：“在池塘生态系统中，藻类是生产者。它们被小型水生昆虫吃掉，昆虫是初级消费者。鱼再吃这些昆虫，最后苍鹭可能会吃鱼。这就是一条食物链。”
Listening tasks often use descriptions like this and ask: 'What is the producer?' or 'Name the secondary consumer.' Train your ear by listening to similar recordings and writing down key organisms.
听力任务常常使用这类描述，并问：“生产者是什么？”或“指出次级消费者。” 你可以通过听类似的录音并记下关键生物来训练耳朵。
7. Active Listening in Biology Lessons | 生物课上的主动听力
Active listening means focusing fully on the speaker, taking mental notes, and thinking about what you will hear next. In a science lesson, your teacher might say: 'The independent variable is the factor you change, and the dependent variable is what you measure.' If you are listening actively, you immediately link these terms to an experiment.
主动倾听意味着全神贯注于说话者，作心理笔记并思考你接下来会听到什么。在科学课上，老师可能会说：“自变量是你改变的因素，因变量是你测量的结果。”如果你在主动倾听，就会立刻把这些术语与实验联系起来。
Practise by watching a short WJEC-style biology video. Pause every 30 seconds and summarise what was said in your own words, first in English and then in Chinese.
通过观看一段简短的 WJEC 风格生物视频进行练习。每30秒暂停一次，用自己的话先英文再中文总结刚刚听到的内容。
8. Mock Dialogue: Asking and Answering Questions | 模拟对话：提问与回答
In an oral exam, the teacher may ask you questions and you need to respond clearly. Here is a mock dialogue about photosynthesis:
在口语考试中，老师可能会向你提问，你需要清楚地回答。以下是一段关于光合作用的模拟对话：
Teacher: What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
Student: The main purpose is to convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
Teacher: Where does photosynthesis take place?
Student: It takes place in the chloroplasts, mainly in the leaves of plants.
Teacher: Which two raw materials are needed?
Student: Carbon dioxide and water.
老师：光合作用的主要目的是什么？
学生：主要目的是将光能转化为化学能，产生葡萄糖和氧气。
老师：光合作用在哪里发生？
学生：它发生在叶绿体中，主要在植物的叶片里。
老师：需要哪两种原料？
学生：二氧化碳和水。
Practise this dialogue with a partner. Then switch roles and create your own questions about diffusion or the skeletal system. Always answer in full sentences, not just single words.
与同伴练习这段对话。然后交换角色，自己编关于扩散或骨骼系统的问题。始终用完整的句子回答，而不仅仅是单个词。
9. Listening for Key Information in Science Videos | 听力练习：从科学视频中抓取关键信息
Watch or listen to a short clip explaining the human circulatory system. Take notes while you listen. Here is a sample transcript and a question you might hear:
观看或收听一段解释人体循环系统的短视频，边听边做笔记。以下是一份文字稿样本及你可能听到的问题：
Listening text: 'The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood around the body. Blood vessels called arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart. Veins bring blood back. Tiny capillaries connect arteries and veins and allow exchange of substances.'
听力文本：“心脏是一个肌肉器官，将血液泵送到全身。被称为动脉的血管将富氧血液带离心脏。静脉将血液送回。微小的毛细血管连接动脉和静脉，并允许物质交换。”
Question: What is the function of capillaries?
Answer: Capillaries allow the exchange of substances between blood and cells.
问题：毛细血管的功能是什么？
回答：毛细血管允许血液与细胞之间进行物质交换。
You can create similar listening exercises with a friend using your WJEC revision guide. Read a paragraph aloud and then ask each other specific questions.
你可以和同学一起用 WJEC 复习指南创建类似的听力练习。大声朗读一个段落，然后互相提问具体问题。
10. Common Exam Speaking Topics and Model Answers | 常见口语考试话题及示范回答
Here are three common Year 7 WJEC biology speaking topics, along with a short model answer for each. Read them aloud, paying attention to fluency.
以下是三个常见的七年级 WJEC 生物口试话题，每个话题配有一小段示范回答。大声朗读，注意流利度。
Topic: How do muscles work in pairs?
'Muscles can only contract, or pull. They cannot push. So they work in antagonistic pairs. For example, the biceps contracts to bend your arm, while the triceps relaxes. To straighten the arm, the triceps contracts and the biceps relaxes.'
话题：肌肉如何成对工作？
“肌肉只能收缩，即拉，不能推。所以它们以拮抗结对的方式工作。例如，肱二头肌收缩使手臂弯曲，此时肱三头肌放松。要伸直手臂，肱三头肌收缩，肱二头肌放松。”
Topic: Describe the process of fertilisation in plants.
'Pollen from a flower’s anther lands on the stigma. A pollen tube grows down the style to the ovary. The male nucleus travels down the tube and fuses with the female egg cell. This forms a zygote, which develops into a seed.'
话题：描述植物的受精过程。
“来自花药的花粉落在柱头上。花粉管沿着花柱向下生长到达子房。雄核沿着花粉管向下，与雌性卵细胞融合。形成合子，发育成种子。”
Topic: Why is a balanced diet important?
'A balanced diet provides all the nutrients the body needs for energy, growth and repair. Carbohydrates give energy, proteins are for growth and repair of tissues, fats provide a store of energy and insulation, and vitamins and minerals keep the body healthy.'
话题：为什么均衡饮食很重要？
“均衡饮食提供身体所需的全部营养，用以提供能量、生长与修复。碳水化合物提供能量，蛋白质用于组织生长和修复，脂肪提供能量储备和保暖，维生素和矿物质保持身体健康。”
11. Self-Assessment and Feedback Strategies | 自我评估与反馈策略
After you record yourself speaking, use a simple checklist to self-assess. Did you use at least three scientific terms correctly? Were your sentences complete? Did you speak at a steady pace? Listen again and note any mistakes.
录下自己说话后，用一张简单的检查表进行自评。你是否正确使用了至少三个科学术语？句子是否完整？语速是否平稳？再听一遍，记录下任何错误。
Ask a friend or a family member to listen and give you one positive comment and one suggestion for improvement. For example, 'You explained the cell wall clearly, but you spoke too quickly at the end.' Use the feedback to try again.
请一位朋友或家人倾听，并给出一个正面评价和一个改进建议。例如：“你清楚地解释了细胞壁，但结尾说得太快了。” 利用反馈再次尝试。
12. Final Tips for the Speaking & Listening Test | 口语听力考试最后提示
On the day of the test, take a few deep breaths to stay calm. Listen to the entire question before answering. If you don't understand, ask: 'Could you please repeat that?' Always speak clearly and at a normal volume. Use the vocabulary from this guide to show your knowledge.
考试当天，做几次深呼吸保持冷静。听完整个问题再回答。如果你没有听懂，询问：“你能重复一遍吗？” 始终用正常的音量清晰地说话。运用本指南中的词汇展示你的知识。
Remember, the exam is not about being perfect, but about demonstrating what you understand. Practise a few minutes each day, and you will see real progress. Good luck!
请记住，考试不是为了追求完美，而是展示你所理解的内容。每天练习几分钟，你会看到真正的进步。祝你好运！
