Chapter One “Just one final tweak here…” I put the screwdriver down and sat back to admire my robot. Those trips to the Robotics Learning Laboratories at the Science Centre with Dad sure came in useful! Now, what should I name him? “Maybe, MEGAMECH! No, no, no. DESTROBOT! No, wait, TECHNODOOM! No, I’ve got it! MEGA-DESTRO-TECHNO-BOT!” I flicked the robot’s switch. “What-is-my-name?” the robot said in a mechanical voice as it came to life. “What, son?” Dad said, popping into my room at exactly the wrong time. “My-name-is-Wat-son,” the robot repeated. “DAD! What have you done?” I yelled out in horror. “What, son? Mom said come and eat. Dinner’s ready,” Dad said. “Ooh, dinner! Why didn’t you say so earlier? C’mon… Watson,” I said. I went to the kitchen and Mom was making chicken rice—one of my favourites! “Can I have a drumstick, please?” I asked. “Cannot! You have to leave some for the rest of us!” my big sister Wendy said. Wendy was a year older than me and she was the artist in the family. We got along… sometimes. Mostly when she needed help with her Chinese homework. “It’s okay. He’s a growing boy.” Dad and I spent a lot of time together. He’s an engineer, and very smart. “You can take ONE drumstick.” Mom cooked super delicious food all the time, but never gave me enough. I didn’t understand why. I’m a growing boy after all. I am Sherlock Sam. Well, my real name is Samuel Tan Cher Lock. In case you couldn’t tell, Sherlock Holmes is one of my heroes, and I want to be a great detective, like him! “Does the robot need his own plate, Sam?” Mom asked. My family was no longer surprised when my inventions turned up at the dinner table. In fact, some of my earlier creations were used by the family often, like the homing device I created for the TV remote control that Mom was always misplacing. “My-name-is-Wat-son,” Watson replied. “Watson, would you like to try my chicken rice?” Mom said. Mom stayed at home and her job was to take care of all of us. She was a fantastic mom. “No-thank-you,” Watson said. “I-only-eat-batteries.” “His name is Watson? Clever, Sherlock,” Wendy sniggered. “Actually, Dad named him,” I mumbled, biting into my drumstick. “I did? Clever me! When did I do that?” Dad asked. Dad was super intelligent, but Mom said he was lost in his own world. One time, Mom asked him to buy broccoli and he brought back cauliflower. He thought it was unripe broccoli. “Don’t forget we’re going to meet Auntie Kim Lian tomorrow, kids,” Mom said. “Can I not go? I always have to look after Cher Lock,” Wendy said. “It’s SHER-lock!” I mumbled again, cleaning off my drumstick. “Sam, what can Watson do?” Dad asked. “Uh… Can I tell you later? May I have another drumstick, please?” I didn’t want to reveal my master plan in front of Mom. After we finished dinner, Dad came to my room. He placed a couple of books on my desk. “So, what didn’t you want to say in front of Mom?” he asked.

Top-down＋Bottom-up：閱讀後嘗試重述故事，運用書中學到的單字與句型，列出重要角色、場景、事件，例如：誰是主角？（Who is the main character?）發生的地點在哪裡？（Where does it take place?）發生了什麼事？（What happened?）說出或寫下大意後，再聽一次有聲書對答案，同步提升聽力、發音與理解能力。
