昨天終於找到了原稿。這個是今年女兒小學畢業典禮演講。五個班人人都寫再由老師挑選代表。小女有幸當選。寫的時候不到十一歲。她說是盯著牆用一個小時寫出來的,沒有任何成年人的編輯。
Graduation Speech
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing, and to get there, you need to open your mind and learn new things. Each year here was never a waste, it may have been torture but it helps you when adventure is calling.
During the years, I have learned that it doesn't matter if someone is different than everyone else, because what really matters is what they are in the inside, not the outside. Also working hard can be a real struggle but good things will always come out of it like Battle of the Books. People get into groups of 5 to learn as much as they can about 16 books. In a few months, each group in the country gets in costumes to gather and the battle starts. Question by question, everyone battles to get the prizes, either in sportsmanship, team name, costume, or the one which everyone desires, the grand prize for knowing the most about the books.
Talking about competitions, the teachers vs kids volleyball tournament was something to remember. Every kid and teacher in the school gathered into the gym. The teachers had one side and the kids, big or small, had the other. For two hours straight the teachers played against the kids class by class, grade by grade. The teachers won most of them, but having fun is really what mattered.
Teachers have made so many things that seemed boring at first, seen fun at the end. They also teach us so many things about the past, present, and future. That's why I would like to thank them for making our future brighter than ever before. The same goes for our parents. Without them, who would take care of you? Support you along the way? And that's why I'd like to thank all the parents who support their sons and daughters along the way. But you can't take on the world alone, you have to have friends, friends that cheer you up, make you happy when you are sad, and most importantly, friends that will always be there for you.
My advice is that in elementary school, it's all about getting prepared for middle school. Don't think that elementary is useless because going to middle school is a big difference and you will have to be prepared to take that giant step into a whole new world.
給親請安,感恩節愉快。
親也來了,趕快上茶! 最近喜歡喝滇紅和俺的名字很配。
謝謝親的誇獎但是別嚇唬我哈!沒什麽神的可別讓那些藤媽藤爸聽著。不管怎樣聽親這麽說那我就放心等著她長大成人了。我還操哪門子心呢!
哪陣風把師哥招來了。對,小大孩所以管不了。我還是放手當我的羊媽吧!
看了這個作文,我也茅塞頓開,小徹小悟,小爺還是跟我學做麵包吧,最少以後餓不著,其他的都不敢想了:(
真的沒有做什麽特別的,主要是培養興趣愛好,什麽都試試看哪個喜歡就做什麽。比如喜歡小提琴變放棄了中文。喜歡體育就放棄了跳舞雖然小時候要做舞蹈演員。都是她自己的選擇。
我猜想,有如此頭腦的孩子,怎麽會喜歡中文課本的內容呢?於是才有此問。
目前市麵上的中文教材,其文字沒有生命力,沒有靈魂。長期讀那樣的書,不僅會影響對漢語,也會影響對英語的鑒賞能力。為了讓自己的孩子有可讀的課本,我才下決心給她們編教材。
如此有思想的孩子,你們是怎樣培養的呢,有沒有詳細的介紹?
看得出來你是搞教育的。小女學過幾年中文但是抵觸沒有學到什麽, 我們已經放棄了。她是那種隻喜歡作自己喜歡事的人,做家長的無法強求。
謝謝!
如此有思想的孩子,如果在學中文,對中文課本有什麽看法沒有?
對!小女很喜歡讀書,而且喜歡的書可以讀很多遍。
非常感謝偶像來訪,謝謝圍帥的鼓勵!有機會還會來匯報,隻是現在小女處於反叛時期,我這個當媽的實在不容易。
我看好她,常來update一下小美女的情況,讓我們看著她長大
可以!
能不能借來放在www.holisticedu.us,讓同學們學習,羨慕。

謝謝!
