轻舟一叶
小楫轻舟，梦入芙蓉浦。
这学年再过几周就要结束了，第二学期的学生掌握了简体中文拼音输入法，作业常常打字后再打印出来，很齐整呢。半期考后，我让学生轮流做这学期的口语报告。报告5分钟，但必须只说中文。学生在报告前一周需将草稿(draft)交给我。以下是两位学生的口语报告草稿，我略作了修改。
美国大学生总体很用功，他们善于表达，报告既展示图片，又展示作品。课后也善用电脑查找资料，学新词汇。口语报告很有内容，又真实。报告不仅仅为学生提供练习中文的好机会，也让同学和老师增进了解。我对两个班级学生的中文长进感到骄傲。学生们刚学了“登鹳雀楼”，于是鼓励他们“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。”
与大家分享两篇美国大学生中文第二学期的口语报告：
--------------
你们好，我的名字叫佘洛仁。
我的口头报告是关于我的爱好。

下面这位学生的草稿用的是拼音，他是市场营销系的男孩子，喜欢运动。。。外号是“罗密欧”，他的高中朋友说他“无望的浪漫”，目前最大的希望是“疯狂地爱上一个女孩”，和她“结婚”，“从此过上幸福的生活”。（很诚实浪漫哈！）他“让上帝进入他生活的各个方面”，因为他相信“我靠着那加给我力量的基督，凡事都能做。”（也很理性谦卑呢！）

草稿里附的英文翻译
Hello, Today is Monday, april 12th. My name is Alex and im giving my oral presentation for Chinese. Ive always been very interested in Chinese history and as a result I stand here now. The language is difficult to learn, but fun to speak.
As for life outside this class im pretty much all about sports, video games, and friends. If im not playing call of duty with the guys, vollyball in the sun, or relaxin with the ladies, I JUST might be studying. Maybe. Im a sopmore marketing major who can rarely find a reason to try in class. Although my grades are important to me ive come to understand there are more important things in life.
In high school I played soccer and helped lead my team to their first division championship in over 14 years. I also ran track, doing very well all season, but not making it past states. My biggest hope in life is to fall madly in love and get married and live happily ever after.
My friends think of me as a bit of a hopeless romantic and in high school I earned the nickname romeo. I trust God to move in all aspects of my life and know that “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Thank you for your time, are there any questions?
