這個故事不是發(fā)生在我自己的班級里,但是每每想起來的時候,都笑得亂七八糟,然后覺得有學(xué)生若此,也是人生奇遇!
此學(xué)生不喜歡英語,到什么程度呢?很恐怖。每次作文的時候,不論給出什么題目,他 永遠都是同樣的內(nèi)容,都是那么幾句話,讓人哭笑不得。
開始,他寫(無論題目如何):
My mother is a woman,my father is a man,I am a boy.
后來,老師說字數(shù)也不夠呀,他不惱,改進,下次寫:
Is my mother a woman? Yes,she is.
Is my father a man? Yes,he is.
Am I a boy? Yes,I am.
老師笑,鼓勵他努力一些,他還是不惱,下次寫:
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.
有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)他的作文字數(shù)增加了很多?
作文繼續(xù)寫,老師竟然發(fā)現(xiàn)他學(xué)會了使用各種句型,竟然沒有什么語法錯誤了,但是怎么表揚他鼓勵他繼續(xù)學(xué)些東西,竟然很有技巧。
他的作文里繼續(xù)寫:
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,字數(shù)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.
來日方長的日子里,他的作文就這么變化著,讓老師知道他學(xué)會了很多的句型,但是文章的內(nèi)容?從來沒有變化過。
世界之大,無奇不有!
