心手相連 Hearts and Minds Altogether

  這名四年級學生在所寫的課堂練習中對我寫道: 「泡芙老師:我喜歡您的教育方法,我是第一次喜歡英文 (,覺得)好玩!!!(之前不喜歡英文)」 本篇中文請往下渭動後而讀之。謝謝 This is the work of a Grade Four, alongside with this student's in-class English alphabetic practice: "Teacher Hope, I like your teaching methods.  This is the first time ever I start to like English.  Previously, I did not enjoy learning English at all."   Mandarin Chinese is after the English version, something written first, instead of own mother tongue.   A Below is a reference from the richest to the poorest nations in the world. Decades ago, when my forefathers’ were assisted by foreign aids, no one could have imagined that Taiwan can be this “wealthy.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita         B When a person truly has the intention to teach, the person is naturally surrounded by many, many good, wonderful thoughts wishing to inspire more and more as time and experiences are accumulated bec...

  閱讀中文請往後滑動,惟此篇因時程上的效度而中文借重翻譯軟體較多, 語意尚稱通順,卻不見得完全合於作者之意呵呵 This is a memory for the participants helping out voluntarily for the good cause.  這是為了那些熱心公益人士而設計的感謝狀 “They hired you from the elementary school system, wanted you to help them to teach English teachers working inside public schools from the university point of view due to your background; meanwhile, they want you to follow their instructions. They missed something here: unless they recruit someone fresh out of his/her university, the person they hire will have his/her own will, let alone someone with your experiences.” This is a chairperson, the similar generation as I am, working inside the HR Dept. of a school hiring me back in 2021 or so. She got me, knowing well that I had walked onto a very different path for ages, not all of a sudden. After we parted our ways, that we all went to different places work, one day, this HR Head told me she and her family would like to do something good for some people whom I’ve serve...

Our mutual friend asked her to introduce herself. She was a bit reserved for a moment. Then, all of a sudden, she began singing an English song. 歌聲一起,全場都暖了。 Her voice warmed the entire place. 一位老師笑著望著她,所有人都被逗得很開心。一旁的 Nancy 悄悄告訴我這首英語曲子的名字——她總是知道很多。 One teacher looked at her with smiling eyes, alongside with all the others. Nancy the very knowledgeable one who sat next to me told me the name of the song. 我忽然想起昨天下午,在小學生的教室裡,我和 Daniel 看見黑板上用粉筆寫著:「王晧璞 = 泡芙老師」。 只能說,這一班小朋友真是幸運。 有這麼有趣的老師,誰還有時間搗蛋呢? 呵呵 ..... All of a sudden I recalled the blackboard on the wal...
