在風中

也斯(梁秉鈞)

一場颱風,一次冒險外出。跟住也斯嘅腳步,由大廈樓下一路行到碼頭同咖啡店——呢條路線唔單止係課文嘅「步移法」,仲係一座現成嘅記憶宮殿:行完一圈,成課就入晒腦。

課前熱身

認識作者・課文講乜?

也斯
本名 梁秉鈞
1949 – 2013

香港作家、詩人

也斯係筆名,本名梁秉鈞,祖籍廣東新會。佢用本名寫詩歌、論文同翻譯,用「也斯」寫散文、小說同評論,仲做過大學教授——創作同評論都舉足輕重。

佢最鍾意寫香港日常:街道、食物、普通人。文字平白好似傾偈,但平凡事物經佢一寫就有味道。1978 年詩集《雷聲與蟬鳴》已成香港文學經典。

詩歌散文小說文學評論寫香港日常

《在風中》一分鐘簡介

颱風吹襲香港嗰日,作者同朋友唔係匿喺屋企,而係走出街——由大廈樓下出發,穿過橫街、去到海邊、碼頭,一路睇盡颱風下嘅城市:招牌搖晃、瓦煲飛舞、海浪翻騰、大船逆浪……

呢篇散文表面寫「風」,其實處處寫人同生命:掙扎嘅樹、逆浪嘅船、風一停就回復日常嘅城市。學完呢課,你會識步移法、定點描寫同間接描寫,仲會睇到作者點樣由一棵斷樹,諗到生命嘅頑強同脆弱。

主軸・記憶宮殿

追風路線:八站記憶宮殿

課文用「步移法」寫成:作者行到邊,景就寫到邊。我哋就順住呢條路起一座宮殿——每一站先睇一幅場景圖,再加一個誇張到唔會唔記得嘅聯想故事同一句口訣,文字唔使死背,記住幅圖就記住嗰站。新規則:每站尾有 2 題「過關測驗」,答啱晒先會解鎖下一站兼自動收風印——唔明嗰站,即場卡住補返,唔會積埋到最後。

全程口訣・一唱就記得條路

一落樓、二穿街,三聽海、四過路,
五入園、六到碼,七大街、八飲啡。

八個站頭一個字連埋就係「樓、街、海、路、園、碼、街、啡」。默書或者考試要重組課文次序嗰陣,喺心入面唱一次,成條路線即刻出現。

口訣牆

四句口訣,搞掂全課考點

考試最鍾意問嘅概念,全部變成一句話。讀出聲三次,記一世。

步移法 vs 定點描寫

步移跟住對腳行,
定點企定慢慢望。

步移法=位置不停變,一站一景;定點描寫=企喺同一個位,按次序(由近及遠、由高至低……)細描。

間接描寫

唔寫風有幾勁,
寫風搞到人點樣。

唔直接講個風字,借行人踉蹌、招牌晃動、瓦煲飛舞嚟襯托——寫風嘅「破壞力」,比齋講「好大風」具體得多。

碼頭五景・遠近分類

車、浪、船,企遠望;
竹同樹,行埋睇。

遠觀三樣:停開嘅公共汽車、海浪、大輪船;近觀兩樣:綁喺鐵欄嘅竹器、同埋折斷咗嘅樹(行近先睇到折口)。

點分描寫角度

望天招牌係仰視,
望地垃圾係俯視。

「頭上岌岌可危嘅招牌」要擡頭睇——仰視;「滿地垃圾」要垂低頭睇——俯視。記住頭嘅方向就得。

描寫手法教室

六大法寶:呢課要識嘅描寫手法

單元主題係「景物描寫」:識分、識舉例、識講好處,三樣都齊先攞滿分。每張手法卡下面都有「用自己說話講返出嚟」——打一兩句你自己嘅解釋,先好撳開標準答案對照。揀啱選擇題可以撞彩,講得返出嚟先係真明。

遊戲一:碼頭望遠鏡——遠觀定近觀?

作者企喺碼頭,用定點描寫睇咗五樣景物。有啲係企遠啲望嘅「遠觀」,有啲係行埋去睇嘅「近觀」。逐樣揀一次,再撳批改。(提示口訣:車、浪、船企遠望;竹同樹行埋睇。)

插畫:碼頭全景——遠處有停開的巴士、翻騰的海浪和逆浪前行的大輪船,近處有綁在鐵欄上的竹器和一棵折斷的樹 五樣景物,全部喺呢幅圖入面

先喺幅圖度搵齊呢五樣景物(遠嘅一邊、近嘅一邊):

停開的巴士獃在那兒
翻騰的海浪掀起巨浪
逆浪的大船頂住風浪行
綁欄的竹器綁實在鐵欄
折斷的樹睇到折口
結構・主旨・感情

十四段骨架同作者嘅心

全篇跟住「風起 → 風盛 → 風過」推進。先玩配對遊戲,再揭開主旨。

風起(第 1–4 段)

  • 落樓初遇強風,風拍臉、人踉蹌
  • 入大廈暫避,路人鑽入鐵閘

風盛(第 5–11 段)

  • 穿橫街、到海邊、過馬路:險象環生
  • 公園見落葉遍地、樹木掙扎
  • 碼頭定點細看五景,大船逆浪

風過(第 12–14 段)

  • 大街一片狼藉:斷樹、橫臥嘅垃圾桶
  • 人逐漸行返出街,最後入咖啡店
  • 市面回復平靜,生活如常

遊戲二:段意配對

每組段落隔籬揀返啱嘅段意,六組全對先算過關。

主旨(先喺心入面講一次,先好撳開)

主旨遮住咗——試下自己用一句話講:作者寫呢次打風外出,究竟想帶出啲乜?

作者記述一次颱風吹襲期間同朋友外出嘅經歷,沿途描寫颱風下嘅香港景象同市面眾生相,刻畫颱風嘅威力;同時由樹木喺風中掙扎、折斷,感慨生命既頑強又脆弱;而風暴過後,市面迅速回復平靜,亦見生命同城市自有其韌性。

兩棵「樹」,兩種感情(考試重點)

插畫:左邊是遠看一園樹木在風中搖動掙扎,右邊是近看斷樹折口,露出淺棕色木質和白色樹液泡沫 左:遠讚生命力 右:近嘆生命消逝
文中描寫流露嘅感情
第 9 段:樹被吹斷、樹葉落滿街道,但其他樹枝「仍然搖動,掙扎,自有它們的生命」 為樹木受颱風破壞而可惜,同時感慨樹木生命力頑強——斷咗都仲掙扎求存。
第 12 段:走近睇斷樹,折口露出「鮮明的淺棕色和白色的樹液的泡沫」,作者話「它也是有生命的」 近距離見到樹嘅「傷口」,引起作者對生命消逝嘅感慨——原來樹同人一樣,都係有血有肉嘅生命。

分別記法:第 9 段係遠啲睇成片樹——讚生命力;第 12 段係行埋去睇傷口——嘆生命消逝。「遠讚近嘆」,四個字搞掂。

字詞翻牌

十隻生字:先諗後翻

見到隻字,先喺心入面講出佢嘅讀音同意思,再撳張卡揭曉。十張全部翻過,先算真係溫咗。

終極挑戰

《在風中》大測驗

十二題,混合內容理解、手法辨析同「正確/錯誤/無從判斷」判斷題——同學校練習同款題型。答錯會入錯題本,而且新規則係:錯題要連續答啱兩次先算正式過關,撞啱一次唔計數,防止扮記得。

        Water in China

        China's water problems and freshwater resources

        The big question of this unit: How are the water problems in China related to its freshwater resources? China ranks 5th in the world for total freshwater — so why does it still suffer water scarcity, droughts and flooding? Walk all five stations and you will be able to answer with causal chains.

        5 stations 3 interactive games 23 vocabulary cards 12 quiz questions
        1

        Pictures first

        Each station has one big picture and one chant. When you are stuck in the exam, picture the image in your mind first — the numbers and the causal chain will follow.

        2

        Think first, then reveal

        The key points are hidden: think of the answer yourself first, then tap to reveal and check. What you work out yourself sticks longest — that is active recall.

        3

        Pass to move on · Two in a row to clear a mistake

        Each station ends with a 2-question gate quiz — get both right to unlock the next station — and you must explain the core idea in your own words. Final-quiz mistakes stay in the wrong-answer book until you answer them correctly twice in a row.

        Warm-up · The Big Picture

        China's Three Water Problems

        The whole unit revolves around these three problems — learn the three English terms and you already have the entry-level marks.

        ① Water scarcity

        Not enough water
        for everyone.

        Not enough freshwater: the total is large but the per-person share is small. Worst in the north and in winter.

        ② Flooding

        Too much water
        in the wet season.

        Abnormally heavy rain in the wet season makes rivers overflow — mostly in the rainy south.

        ③ Drought

        Too little rain
        for too long.

        The dry season lasts longer than usual with no rain for a long time, so land and rivers dry up — most likely in the north.

        The Route · Five Stations

        The Whole Unit in Five Stations

        Route chant: 1 See the problems, 2 Find the freshwater, 3 Split wet and dry, 4 Read the monsoons, 5 Chain the causes. At each station, study the picture and the data, then pass a 2-question gate quiz — get both right to open the next station and earn a water stamp.

        The Whole Unit in One Line

        Precipitation is uneven — in place and in time —
        so freshwater is uneven, and water problems follow.

        Rainfall is uneven in place and in time: more in the south-east, less in the north-west; more in summer, less in winter. Freshwater follows the rain — and so do the water problems.

        Games

        Three Games, All the Exam Skills

        River-flow ranking, climatic-graph reading and monsoon matching — all using the textbook's real numbers.

        Game 1: River Flow Ranking

        The bigger a river's average annual flow (m³/s), the "bigger" the river. Match each of the six rivers to its flow, and remember which is largest and which is smallest. (Hint: the Chang Jiang rules at 30,441; the Liao He has only 400.)

        Game 2: Climatic Graph Challenge (Hangzhou)

        Red line = monthly mean temperature (left axis, °C); blue bars = monthly rainfall (right axis, mm). Read the graph and answer five questions.

        Game 3: Monsoon Matching

        For each monsoon, pick three things: direction, name, and the weather it brings. Chant: summer blows in (sea → land) and is wet; winter blows out (land → sea) and is dry.

        Vocabulary

        23 Words: Think, Then Flip

        When you see a word, say its meaning in your head first, then tap the card to reveal it. Flip all 23 and you have truly revised them.

        Final Quiz

        Unit 2 Final Quiz

        Twelve questions covering every exam point from the five stations, marked instantly with explanations. A wrong answer goes into the wrong-answer book, and you must answer it correctly twice in a row before it counts as passed and leaves the book.

              Monsoons Compared

              • Summer monsoon: land heats faster → low pressure; sea is cooler → high pressure; wind blows from high to low pressure = onshore winds (S / SE / SW), carrying lots of moisture → wet summer
              • Winter monsoon: land cools faster → high pressure; sea is warmer → low pressure; offshore winds (N / NE / NW), dry → dry winter
              • Distance from the sea: onshore winds lose moisture as they travel inland → wet coast, dry inland (the little cloud dries out as it goes)
              • General trend: precipitation decreases from the south-east to the north-west

              Water for Life

              Is our freshwater running out?

              Earth is a water planet — yet fresh water is only 2.5% of it all, and most of that is locked away in ice or underground. Walk five stations: where Hong Kong's water comes from, why the supply is unstable, why the world is thirsty, and how we can save every drop.

              Warm-up · The Big Picture

              One Blue Planet, One Tiny Drop

              The whole unit hangs on three numbers — fix these in your mind first and every station that follows becomes easier.

              ① Salt water

              97.5% of all water
              is salt water.

              Oceans and seas hold almost all of Earth's water — and we cannot drink it.

              ② Fresh water

              Only 2.5% is fresh —
              and most is locked away.

              Glaciers and ice caps hold 69% of the fresh water, groundwater 30%; lakes and rivers hold just 1%.

              ③ Hong Kong

              78% comes from
              the Dongjiang.

              Hong Kong has no large rivers or lakes. In 2024, Dongjiang water supplied 78% of our freshwater; local yield gave 22%.

              The Route · Five Stations

              The Whole Unit in Five Stations

              Route chant: 1 Count the drop, 2 Follow Hong Kong's two sources, 3 Blame the uneven rain, 4 Meet the thirsty world, 5 Save every drop. At each station, study the picture and the data, then pass a 2-question gate quiz — get both right to open the next station and earn a drop stamp.

              The Whole Unit in One Line

              Fresh water is only 2.5% — and it is uneven
              in place and in time, so we guard every drop.

              Rain falls unevenly across places and across the year, fresh water is mostly locked in ice or underground, and demand keeps pressing on supply — in Hong Kong and around the world. That is why saving water and building new sources both matter.

              Match the key numbers, sort saving from supplying, and rebuild the reclaimed-water chain — all using the textbook's real figures.

              Game 1: Match the Number

              Seven key numbers run the whole unit. Match each fact to its number — get all seven and the numbers are yours for good.

              Game 2: Save It or Supply It?

              Every water action does one of two jobs: it saves water (demand side) or it increases supply (supply side). Sort all eight actions. Chant: save the drops you have, grow the sources you can.

              Game 3: The Reclaimed Water Chain

              Reclaimed water is sewage given a second life. Put the five steps in the right order, from dirty water to ready for use.

                    Read this page just before the exam: the key numbers, the two chains and the two directions — everything is here.

                    Hong Kong's Water in Numbers (2024)

                    • Total consumption 1,058 million m³: Dongjiang water 820 (78%), local yield 238 (22%)
                    • Per capita domestic use: 150 litres/day (down from 170 in 2000)
                    • Water gathering grounds: about 35% of Hong Kong's land — no polluting activities allowed
                    • Largest reservoir: High Island, 281.124 million m³; all reservoirs together 585.389 million m³
                    • Leak rate: over 25% (2000) → 14.7% (2023) → target 10% by 2030

                    Why Is the Supply Unstable?

                    A Thirsty World

                    • Rainfall: rainforests about 2,000 mm a year; arid areas less than 250 mm
                    • Arid + semi-arid regions: 41% of Earth's land surface
                    • 2.5 billion people in water-scarce countries; 2.4 billion in water-stressed countries (2021); 4 billion face severe scarcity at least one month a year
                    • Renewable water per person: Oceania 30,730 m³ (highest), Asia 3,920 m³ (lowest)
                    • 265 transboundary rivers; water conflicts rose from 94 (2000–2009) to 231 (2010–2019); Cape Town's "Day Zero" was 2018
