我的房间
Wǒ de fángjiān — My House & Rooms
Rooms, furniture, and what’s in them — which means Grade 2’s position words come straight back, now doing real descriptive work. By the end, students can walk someone through their home in Chinese.
Unit objectives
- Name six rooms and eight pieces of furniture
- Say what is in a room using 有 and position words together
- Describe their own bedroom in four sentences
- Read and write ten new characters
Key vocabulary
房间 卧室 厨房 客厅 卫生间 床 桌子 沙发 窗 灯
Two patterns, combined
Grade 2 taught these separately. Grade 3 puts them together:
我的卧室里有一张床。
Wǒ de wòshì lǐ yǒu yì zhāng chuáng. — “My bedroom inside has one bed.” Place first, then 有, then the thing — with a measure word, as always.
Walking through a home
Six rooms
Flashcards, then sorting furniture pictures into the room each belongs in.
What’s in the room
Furniture vocabulary, with the right measure word for each — beds take 张, chairs take 把.
Where exactly
Position words return: the lamp is on the table, the shoes are under the bed. Listening-and-drawing activity.
My bedroom
A labelled drawing plus four written sentences — the unit’s written outcome, and a keeper for the portfolio.
Shoes off at the door
In most Chinese homes, shoes come off at the entrance and indoor slippers go on — usually with a spare pair kept by the door for guests. It’s not a formality so much as a basic assumption about what “inside” means, and forgetting is the kind of small thing a visitor notices. Plenty of families elsewhere do the same, so this often turns into a good conversation about which household rules children already have that a guest might not know.
Unit 2 progress check
A light, no-pressure way to see what’s sticking:
- Can your child name four rooms?
- Can they say what’s in a room using 有?
- Do they still put the position word after the place?
Measure words will be wrong sometimes and that’s fine — 个 as a fallback is still correct enough to be understood.
