这个故事不是发生在我自己的班级里,但是每每想起来的时候,都笑得乱七八糟,然后觉得有学生若此,也是人生奇遇!
此学生不喜欢英语,到什么程度呢?很恐怖。每次作文的时候,不论给出什么题目,他 永远都是同样的内容,都是那么几句话,让人哭笑不得。
开始,他写(无论题目如何):
My mother is a woman,my father is a man,I am a boy.
后来,老师说字数也不够呀,他不恼,改进,下次写:
Is my mother a woman? Yes,she is.
Is my father a man? Yes,he is.
Am I a boy? Yes,I am.
老师笑,鼓励他努力一些,他还是不恼,下次写:
Is my mother a man? No,she is not a man.She is a woman.
Is my father a woman? No,he is not a woman.He is a man.
Am I a girl? No,I am not a girl. I am a boy.
有沒有发现他的作文字数增加了很多?
作文继续写,老师竟然发现他学会了使用各种句型,竟然没有什么语法错误了,但是怎么表扬他鼓励他继续学些东西,竟然很有技巧。
他的作文里继续写:
My mother is a woman,isn't she? Yes,she is.
My father is a man,isn't he? Yes,he is.
I am a boy,aren't I? Yes,I am.
再下一次,字数又多了:
My mother is a man,isn't she? No,she isn't. She is a woman .
My father is a woman,isn't he? No,he isn't. He is a man.
I am a girl,aren't I? No,I am not.I am a boy.
來日方长的日子里,他的作文就这么变化着,让老师知道他学会了很多的句型,但是文章的内容?从来没有变化过。
世界之大,无奇不有!
