Love--the Key to Motivate Our Students+王玉丹+依安县+向阳学校

　　Today, it is a great honor to stand here and speak . I value this chance of sharing teaching experience with distinguished teachers very much. To be honest ,if someone asked me to record what I said three years ago,I was nervous. My heart would have jumped out of my chest if I hadn’t tried my best to control my breath.

今天，站在这里演讲是我的荣幸。我非常珍惜这次与各位老师分享教学经验的机会。诚实地说，如果三年前有人让我记录下我所说的内容，我是紧张的。

　　The reason lies in the fact that I really didn’t know what to say at that time! Well today, being a teacher of English for three years in Xiangyang, I have a strong sense of responsibility, which always fills me with strength and confidence. I am from Xiangyang Middle School located in the south part of Yi’an. There are two extremes in my school. About 90% are from local resident families, someone whose parents are rich and some even rich enough to own several buildings.

事实上，原因是当时我真的不知道说什么。然而今天，在向阳已经当了三年的英语老师。我有一种充满力量和自信的责任感。我来自于依安南部的向阳学校。大约90%的学生来自于当地，有的父母很有钱，有的父母甚至更有钱、并且拥有好几套独立住房。

　　But some of the children in such families turned out to be slow in their lessons. They seem to have everything but the motivation of learning. However, About 60% of the students are from farming class families in the villages , whose parents are very busy. Sometimes when we visit these students at home we noticed that a large proportion of their living standards are very poor. Some don’t even have desks good enough to finish their homework on.

但是在这样富有的孩子中，有一些在学习中就会拖拉。除了学习的动力，他们似乎什么都有。然而，大约60%的学生来自家长很忙的务农家庭。有时，当我们去家访的时候，注意到大多数生活水平是困难的，有的甚至没有课桌写作业。

　　I still remember once I saw my student coming to school with one arm hanging on her neck. When asked she just said she was careless when she run across a river, fell down and broke her arm. But later I got to know that she fell from the place she sleeps on the second floor at home, where half of it is a small shop in the village, while she was climbing down the ladder. At that time she was in a hurry to go to school.

我依然记得有一次我看见一个学生一只胳膊挂在脖子上就来学校了。当我问她时，她只是说当她路过一条小河时，不小心掉下去，摔坏胳膊了。但是后来我知道她是从小店的二楼睡觉的时候掉下来的。同时，她着急的跑来学校。

　　Not until then did I realized how hard it is for some of our students to manage to survive without their parents, let along concentrate in learning their lessons at school. I believe if children live in poverty, they learn to fight for their future, if children live in comfort ，they learn to enjoy themselves. Then come the questions, “How could I help them?” “What do they need most?” After some years of practicing I got to know four golden rules in English teaching in such kind of schools.

直到那时，我才意识到在没有父母陪伴下，孩子的生活多么困难。我相信，如果孩子生活在贫穷中，他们会为未来拼搏。如果生活在舒适中，他们就学会了享受。那么，问题来了：“我如何帮助他们呢？”“他们最需要什么呢？”在几年的实践之后，在英语学习上我总结了四条黄金法则。

　　Rule No.1 Getting to know what exactly problems in our students’ learning English have and trying best to give them individual instructions;

Rule No.2 Try best to build up their confidence, let them have a taste of success. Make them believe that English is not that difficult as they thought to be;

Rule No.3 Never trying to teach them the knowledge of English until they really mastered their own way of studying. For the most valuable knowledge is not the knowledge itself; it is the learning ways.

Rule No. 4 The most important aspect in teaching here is love we cherish during teaching. If we don’t love our students whole-heartedly ，we will never succeed in  education .

法则1：真正了解学生们学习英语的困难所在，并且尽力给出建议。

法则2：尽力建立起他们的自信，让他们尝到成功的滋味。使他们相信英语没有他们想象的那么难。

法则三：直到他们掌握了学习的方法，才去教授他们知识。最珍贵的不是知识本身，而是学习方法。

法则四：在教学过程中，最重要的一方面就是爱。如果，我们不是全身心的爱学生，在教育上就不是成功的。

　　So from what my experience, “love” is the key to motivate our students!

所以，从我的经验来看，爱是激发学生们的法宝。
