Today I want to teach you about a word "tip".

今天我要教大家 一個詞 "提示"。

We use this word a lot in English, and I am going to teach you what it means,

我們在英語中經常使用這個詞，而 我要教你們這個詞的意思、

some collocations-and

一些搭配--以及

collocations are words that are found together generally, you know, a lot-and a few idioms.

搭配是指在一起出現的詞 一般來說，你知道，很多，還有一些成語。

If you're ready, we'll go to the board, visit Mr. E and start our lesson.

So, E has "tip", he's pointing to his tongue and he's pointing to these icebergs, and he's

所以，E 有 "提示"，他指著自己的舌頭 他指著這些冰山，而且他

pointing to the tip.

指向尖端。

So I've got an idea that "tip" has something to do with the edge or the pointed part of something.

是以，我認為 "尖 "與邊緣或尖的部分有關。 邊緣或尖的部分有關。

Hmm?

嗯？

Well, here's our word: "tip".

好吧，我們的詞是："小費"。

For pronunciation, you go: "t-ip".

So that's pronunciation.

I think it's very important that you not only know what the word means, but how to say it

我認為非常重要的是，你不僅要 知道這個詞的意思，還要知道如何說它

or how to recognize it when you hear it.
