1. Introduction to WJEC Year 8 French | WJEC Year 8 法语简介
The WJEC French course for Key Stage 3 builds a solid foundation in vocabulary and grammar through engaging themes such as personal identity, school, free time and the world around us. In Year 8, you are expected to move beyond single‑word answers and start forming full sentences, using connectives and giving simple opinions. The summer bridging course revisits the most important Year 7 content and then adds a taste of the past tense, which will appear in Year 9, making the transition smoother and less daunting.
WJEC 关键阶段三（Key Stage 3）法语课程通过个人身份、学校、休闲时光和我们身边的世界等有趣的主题，打下扎实的词汇和语法基础。在八年级，你应该超越单字回答，开始构建完整的句子，使用连接词并表达简单的看法。本次暑期衔接课程重新梳理了七年级最重要的内容，并初步接触将在九年级出现的过去时态，让过渡更顺畅、更轻松。
2. Revision of Key Year 7 Basics: Greetings and Personal Information | 复习七年级基础：问候与个人信息
A strong start in Year 8 comes from a confident command of greetings, introductions and personal details. Review how to say hello and goodbye formally and informally, ask someone how they are, and reply. Make sure you can introduce yourself by giving your name, age, birthday and where you live. Practise spelling your name using the French alphabet – listening to native recordings of letters such as 'e' and 'g' will help you avoid common pronunciation mistakes.
八年级的良好开端离不开对问候、自我介绍和个人信息的熟练掌握。复习正式与非正式的问候方式，如何询问对方近况并做出回应。确保你能自我介绍，说出姓名、年龄、生日和居住地。练习用法语字母表拼出你的名字——多听母语者读出 'e' 和 'g' 等字母的录音，可以帮助你避免常见的发音错误。
- Bonjour / Salut – Hello / Hi
- Comment tu t’appelles ? – What’s your name?
- Je m’appelle… – My name is…
- Quel âge as‑tu ? – How old are you?
- J’ai douze ans. – I am twelve years old.
- Mon anniversaire est le 3 mai. – My birthday is on the 3rd of May.
- J’habite à Cardiff. – I live in Cardiff.
You should also be able to ask someone else similar questions and understand the answers. A simple dialogue with a partner – even if you record yourself and play back – will quickly bring back the intuition for natural questions and answers.
你还应该能够向别人提出类似的问题并听懂对方的回答。与同伴进行一段简单的对话——即使你只是自己录音然后回放——也能迅速帮你找回自然问答的直觉。
3. Describing Yourself and Family | 描述自己和家人
Being able to describe physical appearance and personality is central to WJEC Year 8 speaking and writing tasks. Revise the key verbs être (to be) and avoir (to have), and make sure you know the difference between masculine and feminine adjectives. Start with yourself – Je suis grand(e) et j’ai les cheveux bruns et les yeux bleus. – then move on to family members: Mon père est sympa mais ma mère est très sportive.
能够描述外貌和性格是 WJEC 八年级口语和写作任务的核心。复习关键动词 être（是）和 avoir（有），并确保你清楚阳性和阴性形容词的区别。先从自己开始——Je suis grand(e) et j’ai les cheveux bruns et les yeux bleus（我很高，有一头棕发和蓝眼睛）——然后过渡到家人：Mon père est sympa mais ma mère est très sportive（我父亲很亲切，但我母亲非常爱好运动）。
Remember that most adjectives add an -e for feminine forms, but many common ones are irregular. Create a quick reference table of high‑frequency adjectives with both masculine and feminine spellings. This will save you a lot of time when you write your own descriptions.
请记住，大多数形容词在阴性形式中要加上 -e，但许多常见的形容词是不规则的。把高频形容词的阳性和阴性拼写做成一张快速查阅表。这样，你在自己动手写描述时会节省大量时间。
| English | Masculine | Feminine |
|---|---|---|
| tall | grand | grande |
| small | petit | petite |
| funny | drôle (same) | drôle |
| serious | sérieux | sérieuse |
| hard‑working | travailleur | travailleuse |
| lazy | paresseux | paresseuse |
Extend your sentences with simple connectives such as et (and), mais (but) and aussi (also). For example, J’ai les yeux verts et je suis assez timide mais je suis généreuse. This will make your spoken and written French sound more natural and mature.
用简单的连接词（如 et、mais 和 aussi）来扩展句子。例如，J’ai les yeux verts et je suis assez timide mais je suis généreuse（我有一双绿色的眼睛，有些害羞，但我很慷慨）。这会让你的法语口语和书面语听起来更自然、更成熟。
4. School Life and Subjects | 学校生活与科目
School is a topic that appears in every WJEC key stage. In Year 8 you need to be able to name your school subjects, say which ones you like or dislike, and give a simple reason. Revise the vocabulary for les matières (school subjects) and get comfortable using the structure J’aime / Je n’aime pas / J’adore / Je déteste followed by the definite article: J’aime le dessin, je déteste les maths.
学校是 WJEC 每个关键阶段都会出现的话题。在八年级，你需要能够说出学校科目，表达喜欢或不喜欢哪一门，并给出简单的理由。复习科目词汇，并熟练运用 J’aime / Je n’aime pas / J’adore / Je déteste 加上定冠词的结构：J’aime le dessin（我喜欢美术），je déteste les maths（我讨厌数学）。
Move beyond just naming subjects. Practise talking about your timetable, the time a lesson starts and who teaches it. For instance, Le lundi à neuf heures, j’ai anglais avec Monsieur Davies. C’est intéressant. Learning to embed times and days within longer sentences is a Year 8 expectation.
不要仅仅局限于说出科目名称。练习谈论课程表、上课时间以及任教老师。例如，Le lundi à neuf heures, j’ai anglais avec Monsieur Davies. C’est intéressant.（星期一上午九点，我有戴维斯先生的英语课，很有意思）。学会在较长的句子中嵌入时间和星期，是八年级的学习要求。
- le français – French
- l’anglais – English
- les sciences – science
- l’histoire‑géo – history‑geography
- la musique – music
- l’EPS – PE
To express reasons, you will need adjectives such as facile / difficile (easy / difficult), intéressant / ennuyeux (interesting / boring), utile (useful) and passionnant (exciting). Always try to vary your opinion phrases – instead of always saying c’est intéressant, try je trouve le sport passionnant or à mon avis, les maths sont trop difficiles.
要表达理由，你需要掌握诸如 facile / difficile（容易/困难）、intéressant / ennuyeux（有趣/无聊）、utile（有用）和 passionnant（令人激动）等形容词。尽量变换你的观点表达——不要总是说 c’est intéressant，要尝试 je trouve le sport passionnant（我觉得体育很激动人心）或者 à mon avis, les maths sont trop difficiles（在我看来，数学太难了）。
5. Daily Routine and Telling the Time | 日常安排与时间表达
Talking about your daily routine and telling the time are essential life skills and frequently assessed in WJEC speaking tasks. You need to be confident with numbers up to 60, the 12‑hour clock, and expressions such as et quart, moins le quart, et demie. Practise both the English‑style (il est huit heures vingt) and the French method of using moins (il est neuf heures moins cinq).
谈论日常安排和报时是基本的生活技能，也是 WJEC 口语任务中经常考核的内容。你需要熟练掌握 60 以内的数字、12 小时制时间表达，以及 et quart（一刻）、moins le quart（差一刻）、et demie（半点）等表达方式。既要练习英语式表达（il est huit heures vingt 八点二十），也要练习使用 moins 的法语表达方式（il est neuf heures moins cinq 九点差五分）。
Build a typical school‑day paragraph using reflexive verbs in the present tense. Start with Je me réveille à sept heures (I wake up at seven o’clock), then add je me lève, je me lave, je m’habille, je prends le petit déjeuner and je vais au collège à huit heures et demie. Sequencing words like d’abord (first), ensuite (next), puis (then) and enfin (finally) will structure your description clearly.
用现在时自反动词构建一个典型的校园日段落。以 Je me réveille à sept heures（我七点醒来）开头，然后依次添加 je me lève（我起床）、je me lave（我洗漱）、je m’habille（我穿衣）、je prends le petit déjeuner（我吃早餐）以及 je vais au collège à huit heures et demie（八点半我去上学）。像 d’abord（首先）、ensuite（接着）、puis（然后）和 enfin（最后）这样的顺序词，能让你的描述条理清晰。
| Reflexive verb | English |
|---|---|
| se réveiller | to wake up |
| se lever | to get up |
| se laver | to wash (oneself) |
| s’habiller | to get dressed |
| se coucher | to go to bed |
Remember that reflexive verbs use être in the past tense (passé composé), but at this stage simply mastering the present tense forms is your goal. Over the summer, practise describing a weekend day, which allows you to use different times and a more relaxed vocabulary.
请记住，自反动词在复合过去时当中要使用 être 作助动词，但现阶段你的目标仅仅是掌握现在时的变位形式。暑假期间，练习描述周末的一天，这样可以让你使用不同的时间点和更轻松的词汇。
6. Food and Drink: Ordering in a Café | 餐饮：咖啡馆点餐
The café and restaurant topic is a favourite for role plays and listening exercises. You should be able to order food and drink politely, ask how much something costs, and say what you like to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Revise the partitive articles du, de la, de l’, des when talking about food: Je voudrais du pain et de l’eau minérale, s’il vous plaît.
咖啡馆和餐厅话题是角色扮演和听力练习中的常见内容。你应该能够礼貌地点餐和饮品，询问价格，并说出自己早、午、晚餐喜欢吃什么。复习在谈论食物时使用的部分冠词 du, de la, de l’, des：Je voudrais du pain et de l’eau minérale, s’il vous plaît.（我想要些面包和矿泉水，谢谢。）
Practise full dialogues: greeting the waiter, requesting a table, ordering items, asking for the bill. Use je voudrais (I would like) to be polite, and try adding a comment on the food with c’est délicieux or j’aime bien la soupe. Even though you may not yet know the past tense systematically, you can still memorise the phrase J’ai bien mangé (I ate well) to use after the meal.
练习完整的对话：问候服务员、要求入座、点餐、要求结账。用 je voudrais（我想……）来表示礼貌，并试着用 c’est délicieux（这很美味）或 j’aime bien la soupe（我很喜欢这汤）来评论食物。即使你还没有系统地学过过去时态，你仍然可以记住 J’ai bien mangé（我吃得很好）这个短语，在用餐后使用。
Expand your food vocabulary beyond the basics. Include snacks, drinks and common French dishes like une crêpe, un croissant or un steak‑frites. When you listen to spoken exercises, pay attention to the polite register and the use of s’il vous plaît and merci – WJEC examiners look for these cultural courtesies.
将你的食品词汇量扩展到基础词汇之外，包括零食、饮料以及像 une crêpe（可丽饼）、un croissant（牛角面包）或者 un steak‑frites（牛排配薯条）这类常见法国菜品。听听力练习时，留意礼貌用语的使用以及 s’il vous plaît 和 merci——WJEC 考官很看重这些文化礼仪。
7. Hobbies and Free Time Activities | 爱好与休闲活动
Free time is a perfect topic for personalising your French and showing off varied vocabulary. In Year 8 you need to talk about what you do in your spare time, how often you do it, and who you do it with. Revise the key verbs faire (to do) and jouer à (to play) and remember that jouer de + instrument is used for musical instruments: je joue de la guitare.
休闲时光是一个非常适合个性化的主题，也能让你展示丰富的词汇。在八年级，你需要谈论空闲时间做什么、做活动的频率，以及和谁一起做。复习关键动词 faire（做）和 jouer à（玩），并记住乐器前面要用 jouer de + 乐器：je joue de la guitare（我弹吉他）。
To express likes and dislikes about activities, you can use the same opinion phrases from earlier, but aim to give a slightly longer explanation. For example, J’adore la natation parce que c’est relaxant et je vais à la piscine chaque samedi avec mes amis. This type of sentence combines opinion, reason and frequency – exactly what a Level 5 or 6 response looks like.
要表达对活动的喜恶，你可以使用之前学过的观点短语，但试着给出更长的解释。例如，J’adore la natation parce que c’est relaxant et je vais à la piscine chaque samedi avec mes amis.（我热爱游泳，因为它让人放松，而且我每周六都和朋友们去游泳池。）这类句子结合了观点、理由和频率，正是第五或第六等级作答的样子。
- je fais du sport – I do sport
- je joue au foot – I play football
- je regarde la télé – I watch TV
- je lis des bandes dessinées – I read comics
- je retrouve mes copains – I meet up with my friends
- parfois / souvent / tous les jours – sometimes / often / every day
Challenge yourself by adding a negative statement: Je ne joue jamais aux jeux vidéo parce que je trouve ça ennuyeux. Negatives are always well‑regarded in speaking and writing exams.
挑战自己，加上一个否定句：Je ne joue jamais aux jeux vidéo parce que je trouve ça ennuyeux.（我从不玩电子游戏，因为我觉得那很无聊。）否定句总是能在口语和写作考试中为你增色。
8. Places in Town and Directions | 城镇地点与问路
Being able to navigate a French town is not only practical for a future trip but also a common speaking and listening theme. Start by learning the names of places: la gare (station), le cinéma, la piscine, le marché, le musée, l’église. Then practise prepositions of place such as en face de (opposite), à côté de (next to), près de (near) and entre (between).
能够在法国城镇中认路不仅对未来的旅行有用，也是一个常见的口语和听力主题。首先学习地点名称：la gare（火车站）、le cinéma（电影院）、la piscine（游泳池）、le marché（市场）、le musée（博物馆）、l’église（教堂）。然后练习表示位置的介词，如 en face de（在……对面）、à côté de（在……旁边）、près de（在……附近）和 entre（在……之间）。
You also need to understand and give basic directions. Revise the imperative forms of common verbs: Allez tout droit (go straight ahead), Tournez à gauche (turn left), Tournez à droite (turn right), Prenez la première rue à droite (take the first street on the right). To ask the way politely, use Excusez‑moi, pour aller à la gare, s’il vous plaît ?
你还需要听懂并给出基本的路线指引。复习常用动词的祈使式形式：Allez tout droit（直走）、Tournez à gauche（左转）、Tournez à droite（右转）、Prenez la première rue à droite（走右手边第一条街）。要礼貌地问路，可以使用 Excusez‑moi, pour aller à la gare, s’il vous plaît ?（打扰一下，请问去火车站怎么走？）。
Create a simple map of an imaginary town, label the places in French, and write a short paragraph describing where each place is located. This visual activity will make the vocabulary stick far better than reading lists.
画一张虚构小镇的简单地图，用法语标出各个地点，并写一个简短的段落描述每个地点的位置。这种视觉化活动比单纯看词汇表更能牢固记住单词。
9. Introduction to the Past Tense (Passé Composé) | 过去时态初探（复合过去时）
The biggest step in Year 9 will be moving from talking about ‘now’ to describing things that have already happened. In your summer bridging course you can make a gentle start on the passé composé – the main past tense used in spoken French. Begin by learning that the passé composé is formed with an auxiliary verb (avoir or être) and a past participle.
升入九年级的最大变化，就是你要从谈论“现在”转到描述已经发生的事。在这个暑期衔接课程里，你可以平稳地开始接触复合过去时——这是法语口语中最主要的过去时态。首先要了解，复合过去时由助动词（avoir 或 être）加上过去分词构成。
Start with the regular -er verbs because they are the easiest: replace -er with -é. For example, j’ai regardé (I watched), j’ai joué (I played), j’ai mangé (I ate). Practise just a handful of high‑frequency verbs so you can describe a weekend or a holiday: Le weekend dernier, j’ai joué au tennis avec mon frère et j’ai mangé une pizza.
从规则变化的 -er 动词开始，因为它们最为简单：把 -er 替换为 -é。例如，j’ai regardé（我看了）、j’ai joué（我玩了/打了）、j’ai mangé（我吃了）。只练习一小批高频动词，以便能够描述一个周末或一个假期：Le weekend dernier, j’ai joué au tennis avec mon frère et j’ai mangé une pizza.（上周末，我和哥哥打了网球，然后吃了一个披萨。）
For now, use only avoir as the auxiliary to keep things simple. Learn the common past participles of high‑frequency irregular verbs gradually: fait (from faire), vu (from voir), lu (from lire), pris (from prendre). A sentence like J’ai fait mes devoirs et puis j’ai vu un film will give you a head start when you return to school.
目前，为了保持简单，我们只使用 avoir 作助动词。逐步学习高频不规则动词的常见过去分词：fait（faire 的过去分词）、vu（voir）、lu（lire）、pris（prendre）。像 J’ai fait mes devoirs et puis j’ai vu un film（我做了作业，然后看了一部电影）这样的句子，将让你在回到学校时领先一步。
Remember, you are not expected to master the whole passé composé in Year 8. A gentle, confident introduction with a handful of useful example sentences is perfect.
请记住，八年级并不要求你完全掌握复合过去时。用一种温和且自信的方式，用少数几个实用的例句来引入，就已经非常完美了。
10. Cultural Awareness: France and French‑speaking Countries | 文化意识：法国与法语国家
WJEC places great importance on cultural understanding. Over the summer, take some time to explore the French‑speaking world beyond the textbook. Learn a few facts about France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and some African countries where French is an official language. Knowing that French is spoken on every continent will deepen your motivation and give you richer material to discuss in class.
WJEC 非常重视文化理解。暑假期间，花一些时间去探索课本之外的法语世界。了解几个关于法国、比利时、瑞士、加拿大以及一些以法语为官方语言的非洲国家的小知识。知道法语遍布每个大洲，会加深你的学习动力，并为课堂讨论提供更丰富的素材。
Pick one or two aspects that interest you – perhaps French music, a particular festival like la fête de la musique, a dish you want to try making, or even a French‑speaking YouTuber. Watching short videos in French, even with English subtitles, trains your ear to the rhythm and sounds of the language. As you listen, try to pick out the odd word or phrase that you recognise. This passive listening builds a huge amount of confidence over time.
