Let's Go 6A 文章分享

Write a fairy tale of your own

In a country there was a beautiful princess called Mona Lisa. She never laughs after she was born. So her father Minuosi king says “Who can let my pretty daughter laugh, he can marry her!” All boys use many ways to let Mona Lisa laugh because they want to marry her. But they always failed.
One day, a person who was from Italy called Leonardo da Vinci comes to this country. He wore his T-shirt on his legs and his pants on his hands. Then he put his briefs on his head to keep sunshine out. When princess saw him, she laughed, she laughed so hard. Finally, he married Mona Lisa and da Vinci drew a picture to remember Mona Lisa. This picture was called Mona Lisa’s smile.

Ken 老師說說話

還記得上學期Let’s Go 6的Jenna總是依賴老爸的幫忙，要老爸陪她一起完成Sunny Kids’的英文作業，但這個學期以來，情況有大幅度的改變。為什麼我們能夠清楚地辨認孩子寫出來的短文到底是不是由自己寫出來的呢？其實很簡單，爸爸媽媽所習慣使用的英文單字其實和小朋友目前所學的教材內容程度相差甚遠，大部分爸爸媽媽所使用的單字、用法都較為正式，因此我們可以很清楚地瞭解哪些用法、語句在小朋友的作業中出現，其實是遠遠超出他們的能力所及。
因為上學期老爸的貼心協助，Jenna自己缺少了寶貴的課後練習機會；同時也因為缺少課後練習的實戰經驗，導致Jenna的英文學習進度並不如預期般地平穩成長。但是事情在這個學期有了改變；在老師與Jenna父母的溝通之後，Jenna的文章中漸漸地不再出現「超齡」的單字以及句法，取而代之的是天馬行空且創意十足的趣味內容。我相信Jenna之所以能在英語學習方面進步的原因是她願意跨出那小小的一步，願意對自己負責、獨自完成屬於自己的作業；同時再加上父母的充分配合，願意放手讓Jenna獨自練習，僅給予適當的協助，而不再是過度地指導孩子的作業練習。
