昨天终于找到了原稿。这个是今年女儿小学毕业典礼演讲。五个班人人都写再由老师挑选代表。小女有幸当选。写的时候不到十一岁。她说是盯着墙用一个小时写出来的,没有任何成年人的编辑。
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.
给亲请安,感恩节愉快。
亲也来了,赶快上茶! 最近喜欢喝滇红和俺的名字很配。
谢谢亲的夸奖但是别吓唬我哈!没什么神的可别让那些藤妈藤爸听着。不管怎样听亲这么说那我就放心等着她长大成人了。我还操哪门子心呢!
哪阵风把师哥招来了。对,小大孩所以管不了。我还是放手当我的羊妈吧!
看了这个作文,我也茅塞顿开,小彻小悟,小爷还是跟我学做面包吧,最少以后饿不着,其他的都不敢想了:(
真的没有做什么特别的,主要是培养兴趣爱好,什么都试试看哪个喜欢就做什么。比如喜欢小提琴变放弃了中文。喜欢体育就放弃了跳舞虽然小时候要做舞蹈演员。都是她自己的选择。
我猜想,有如此头脑的孩子,怎么会喜欢中文课本的内容呢?于是才有此问。
目前市面上的中文教材,其文字没有生命力,没有灵魂。长期读那样的书,不仅会影响对汉语,也会影响对英语的鉴赏能力。为了让自己的孩子有可读的课本,我才下决心给她们编教材。
如此有思想的孩子,你们是怎样培养的呢,有没有详细的介绍?
看得出来你是搞教育的。小女学过几年中文但是抵触没有学到什么, 我们已经放弃了。她是那种只喜欢作自己喜欢事的人,做家长的无法强求。
谢谢!
如此有思想的孩子,如果在学中文,对中文课本有什么看法没有?
对!小女很喜欢读书,而且喜欢的书可以读很多遍。
非常感谢偶像来访,谢谢围帅的鼓励!有机会还会来汇报,只是现在小女处于反叛时期,我这个当妈的实在不容易。
我看好她,常来update一下小美女的情况,让我们看着她长大
可以!
能不能借来放在www.holisticedu.us,让同学们学习,羡慕。

谢谢!
