My First Day at Senior High My Name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing. It is the capital city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and I'm writing down my thoughts about it. My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and their words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites. They're brilliant! The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen. We're using a new textbook and Ms Shen's method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehension is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms Shen's class! Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves. Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her, too. There are sixty-five students in my class--more than my previous class in Junior High. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this class, everyone is hard-working. For our homework tonight, we have to write a description of the street where we live. I'm looking forward to doing it! Module 1 高中生活的第一天 我叫李康，我住在石家庄，一个离北京不远的城市，它是河北省(province)的省会。今天是我上高中的第一天，我正在记下我的一些想法。 我的新学校很好，而且我知道这是为什么。老师们非常热情(enthusiastic)，友好，教室的配备令人惊讶(amazing)。每个教室都有一台电脑和一个特别的屏幕，几乎跟电影屏幕一样大。老师在电脑上打字，他们打出的字就出现在他们身后的屏幕上。屏幕还可以展示图片，文本和网站(website)上的信息(information)，真是太棒了(brilliant)！ 英语课堂真是太有趣了。老师是一位很热心的姓沈的女老师，我们使用新的课本，沈老师的教学方法(method)一点也不像初中老师的教学方法。她认为阅读理解(reading comprehension)很重要，但是我们班上也进行了大量的口语练习。而且我们很快乐。我想在沈老师的课上我不会感到厌倦(bored)。 今天我们相互做了自我介绍，我们是分组进行的。一些学生开始时有点不好意思(embarrassed 尴尬的)，但是大家都很友好，而且这的确很好。沈老师给我们一些指导(instruction)，然后我们就自己操练起来。 沈老师想帮助我们提高我们的拼写和书写。我们是通过一些拼写游戏和其他活动等有趣的方式老进行的。我很喜欢她的态度(attitude)，而且其他同学的行为(行为)表明他们也喜欢她。 我们班有65名学生-- 比我以前的(previous)初中班级的学生人数多。其中49人是女生。换句话说(in other words)，女生是男生的3倍。据说女生通常比男生更勤奋(hard-working)，但是在这个班级里，人人都很用功。至于我们今晚的作业，我们得写一篇描写(description)自己所住街道的文章。我正盼望着(look forward to)去完成它。 |
