Meet Meg, Amy, Kevin, and Ethan and follow them through their summer adventures!
來認識梅格、艾咪、凱文和伊森，並跟著他們一起夏日冒險吧！
We meet Meg on her last day of school after her teacher gives her a diary as a goodbye gift. Read Meg’s personal diary to learn about making friends, earning and saving money, the responsibilities of having a pet, teamwork and sports, clothes, weather, emotions and much more!
梅格在學校的最後一天，她的老師送她一本日記作為離別禮物，我們由此認識梅格。透過閱讀梅格的個人日記來學習關於交朋友、賺錢和存錢、養寵物的責任、團隊精神和運動、服裝、天氣、情感等等！
Develop your child’s reading proficiency with this fun collection of Meg’s daily experiences. Your child will learn new vocabulary, build their deduction skills, begin to understand story sequencing, and develop their inference skills. To further reinforce these abilities, each diary entry is followed with a set of important vocabulary words, questions and corresponding answers about each day, and a writing prompt with space to write.
藉由梅格有趣的日常經歷來增強您的孩子的閱讀能力。孩子會學到新的字彙、建立他們的推斷能力、開始理解故事的編排順序以及加強推理技巧。為了進一步強化這些能力，每篇日記都搭配一組重要的詞彙、關於每一天的問題和對應的答案，以及寫作提示來引導孩子書寫。
Vocabulary
Encourage your child to use at least one word a day outside of reading time. The goal is to get them to incorporate these words into their own lives. Every word is beginner/elementary level vocabulary.
單字
鼓勵您的孩子在閱讀時間之外，每天至少使用一個單字。目的是為了將這些單字融入他們自己的生活當中。每個單字都是基礎的，適合初學者。
Questions and Answers
The answers provided are full sentences and on the higher elementary level. These are example sentences and should not be copied word for word. Your child will have their own way of writing. It is important to check your child’s answers for story comprehension, rather than grammar and spelling (Although that is important too…but if your own English isn’t good enough to check grammar…don’t worry!) Get your child in the habit of also writing in complete sentences. This may be hard at first, but it will get easier as you go! Most questions cannot be answered with a simple, “yes” or “no,” but if you come across a question that can, have your child explain why they chose their answer.
問題與答案
每個答案都是完整句，程度比初級高一點。這些是示範例句，不應逐字複製。孩子會有自己的寫作方式。重要的是要確認孩子對故事的理解程度，而不是文法和拼字是否正確（雖然這也是很重要，但是如果您對文法方面不是很有把握的話，不用擔心！）讓孩子養成寫完整句的習慣。剛開始可能會很困難，但之後就會越來越簡單了！大部分的問題不能只用簡單的「是」或「否」回答，如果遇到可以這樣回答的題目，要讓孩子解釋為什麼他們選擇這樣的答案。
Writing
With the writing prompt, don’t worry too much about checking for grammar and spelling mistakes. The purpose of these writing prompts is to get your child excited to write. Praise their effort. If your child gets stuck, it’s always good to read the diary entry again for ideas since the prompt always relates!
寫作
在寫作提示這部分，不用過於擔心檢查文法和拼字錯誤。這些寫作提示的用途是要讓孩子對寫作感到興奮。讚美他們的努力。如果孩子遇到困難的話，可以再次閱讀日記，因為提示永遠和日記內容相關！
These activities are meant to help guide a parent through at-home lessons. For teachers, each chapter can easily turn into an entire lesson. Come up with your own activities based on each day. For example, in the final entry, Ethan uses the first letter of everyone’s name to make the word “M.A.K.E.” Have students make an acrostic poem with their own name.
這些活動的用意在於引導父母進行在家學習。對於教師而言，每一篇都可以輕鬆變成一堂完整的課。根據每一天發生的事，設計專屬自己的活動。例如，在本書最後一篇日記裡，伊森使用每個人的（英文）名字首字母創造了「M.A.K.E.」這個字。讓學生用自己的名字創作藏頭詩吧。
Meg is a character that is dear to my heart. She was the spunky little girl I wanted to be when I was younger. In addition to helping your child with their English learning journey, I hope Meg, Amy, Kevin, and Ethan can help teach your child social skills, values, and the importance of being true to themselves. Happy learning!
梅格是我內心珍愛的角色。她是我小時候想成為的勇敢小女孩。除了幫助您的孩子進行英文學習之旅，我希望梅格、艾咪、凱文和伊森也可以教導孩子社交技巧、價值觀以及忠於自己的重要性。願大家都能快樂學習！
