【標(biāo)題】“猴子”怎么變紳士
【內(nèi)容提要】學(xué)校教育怎么把調(diào)皮的“猴子”變成紳士？你聽說過怎么把大象放進(jìn)冰箱嗎？答案是只需要三步：開門，放進(jìn)大象，關(guān)門。這一切只有在你相信的前提下才會(huì)成真。我是黛西，由于我相信“境遇”（簡書的編輯大人，為了避免涉嫌廣告，這是我編的名字）小學(xué)，兩年后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)原本腦子里有及時(shí)行樂猴，自控力超級差，而且手眼不協(xié)調(diào)，經(jīng)常摔倒的湯姆，在學(xué)校的興趣課程以及“八禮”的熏陶下，變成了一個(gè)不怎么摔跤的小足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，有很好的自控力以及獨(dú)立思考能力。這是魔法嗎？不，這是愛。
【鳴謝】承蒙Quankeer、Eva及同學(xué)的大力指點(diǎn)和大刀闊斧的修改，本文才得以成型。亦感謝“境遇”小學(xué)給我提供機(jī)會(huì)作這次分享，這是我第一次作英文演講。當(dāng)晚在Unique俱樂部就此內(nèi)容又作了脫稿演講。非常榮幸地得到Randy的精細(xì)點(diǎn)評。
How to Change the “Monkey” to a Gentleman
Have you ever heard the following question: How to put an elephant into a? fridge?
The?answer is: 1. Open thedoor；2. Put the elephant in；3. Close the door.
Obviously,?there is a precondition for this solution: the thing wouldn’t come true unless you believe it.
I am Daisy, mother of a nine-year-old boy, Tom. When Tom went to Jinyu Primary School two years ago, there was a?Carpe Diem monkey?lived in his smart brain. Then he had terrible self-control, always enjoyed the pleasure here and now. Even worse was that his body is not harmonious,? you know,? terrible hand-eye co-ordination. He often fell over and walked unsteady, like drunk. He is more like a monkey than my son, not to mention to become a gentleman.
In Jinyu Primary School, there are many?interest courses offered after school, as quality education, including arts, chess, football, dance,?etc. There are also lots of measures for children to?learn social rites. For example, there are?8 rites be emphasized in the school, ?including say hello, and say goodbye, and follow relevant courtesy when in playground, dining?room, or classroom; at the same time, teachers instruct them to express themselves naturallyand gracefully.
So, because I choose to believe Jinyu Primary School, two years later, I found?that Tom had become a little football?player, seldom falling over. He got familiar with Gareth Bale. He also has good self-control and independent thinking.?When we talked about a book named?The Martian, he told me to?be careful because there are many dirty words in this novel.
Wow, maybe it’s time for him to know more about Shakespeare or HarryPotter. Above all he is already like a gentleman.
How?to change the“monkey” to a gentleman? First to believe, come to Jinyu Primary School, step by step, it comes ture. It is not magic, it’s love.
【后記】這篇文章為什么會(huì)這么寫？基于三個(gè)原因：1.對象；2.內(nèi)容；3.用途。
首先說對象。對象有學(xué)校的部分師生和家長。同時(shí)有英國威爾士地區(qū)的幾位校長。所以在選材上就用了一些英國特別是威爾士的元素。比如提到了球星貝爾、莎士比亞和哈利波特。
重點(diǎn)說內(nèi)容。分享哪幾方面的內(nèi)容預(yù)先有個(gè)大致的規(guī)劃，當(dāng)然不是特別有心機(jī)的那種規(guī)劃，是根據(jù)活動(dòng)的要求，確定了要分享成長故事、辦學(xué)理念、對校際交流的看法和期待等等。對應(yīng)寒冰童鞋的這篇，很顯然是講的辦學(xué)理念這一塊的內(nèi)容?！熬秤觥北旧硎枪k學(xué)校，不能做得天馬行空，在框架內(nèi)中規(guī)中矩的同時(shí)做出特色，我覺得他們還是很盡心盡力的。就結(jié)合自己孩子的成長講了這一塊。
再說基于用途我作了哪些處理。因?yàn)槭且粋€(gè)會(huì)場的分享，自己又是個(gè)英語演講菜鳥，所以里面統(tǒng)統(tǒng)不用大詞，免得自己舌頭就絆住了。我自己的英語水平非常詭異但并不特殊，就是所謂啞巴英語。最近半年看見小伙伴們說得很溜，自己也想開口，試了很多次都開不了口。最近讀了將近倆月的新概念2，正在好像有點(diǎn)感覺的時(shí)候，突然接到這個(gè)任務(wù)，就吭哧吭哧開始準(zhǔn)備了。
根據(jù)用途也著重考慮了結(jié)構(gòu)化的敘事方式。先用一個(gè)腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎開頭，引出自己家孩子的成長困惑，點(diǎn)出學(xué)校采取的措施里對他極其有利的兩個(gè)方面——身體和禮節(jié)。同時(shí)也是學(xué)校的特色和亮點(diǎn)。這個(gè)敘事結(jié)構(gòu)也容易記憶，不容易脫線，有利于做脫稿。雖然我其實(shí)還是會(huì)忘，準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間足夠的話應(yīng)該還是可以的。
其它的如真實(shí)，也是準(zhǔn)備稿子時(shí)我比較看重的方面。為了效果瞎掰一下應(yīng)該也沒什么，只是不是我的風(fēng)格。而且我的生活說來也很神奇，明明我認(rèn)為稀松平常，習(xí)以為常的事情，會(huì)有人覺得光怪陸離，許多事實(shí)話實(shí)說，不用渲染，反而有時(shí)候顯得夸張。
幽默也是我想要的，雖然不一定每次都會(huì)奏效，存著這個(gè)心，不勉強(qiáng)就是了。畢竟基于價(jià)值的觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)才是最有效的。
