澳洲高中課程零距離之三——我們不一樣

From Iori

    當(dāng)我來(lái)到澳大利亞的時(shí)候,我就立馬脫掉了我的外套,因?yàn)榘拇罄麃喌臏囟日娴母袊?guó)有很大的不同?,F(xiàn)在的澳大利亞非常熱,最熱的時(shí)候可以達(dá)到36度左右。中國(guó)正在穿大衣棉襖的時(shí)候,這里正穿著短袖和短褲。
    I took off my jacket as quickly as possible when I arrived Australia, because the weather is quite different from that of China. Australia is very hot now, it can even reach 36 degree centigrade. Australians wear shirts and T-shirts while Chinese wear coats.
    在中國(guó),天剛蒙蒙亮的時(shí)候,我們就已經(jīng)起床準(zhǔn)備去學(xué)校早讀了,一直要學(xué)習(xí)到下午5點(diǎn)左右,高中的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)更為艱苦。但是在澳大利亞,我們可以睡到早上7點(diǎn)鐘,這還是因?yàn)槲覀円ペs校車的原因。8點(diǎn)半左右是晨會(huì)課,然后我們就會(huì)開始正式上課。這邊一節(jié)課的時(shí)間很長(zhǎng),有點(diǎn)像上大課。國(guó)內(nèi)都是40分鐘一節(jié)課,這邊就是一個(gè)多小時(shí)一節(jié)課,比如英語(yǔ)課會(huì)靠近兩個(gè)小時(shí)。很多家長(zhǎng),特別是學(xué)生會(huì)問(wèn)了,上這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的課不會(huì)覺得枯燥無(wú)聊嗎?不會(huì)想睡覺嗎?我可以很負(fù)責(zé)任告訴你,不會(huì)。因?yàn)檫@邊上課跟國(guó)內(nèi)有很大的不同。國(guó)內(nèi)的課程更加偏向于對(duì)照著書來(lái)講課,會(huì)做很多的練習(xí)題,當(dāng)然這是我經(jīng)歷的,并不代表所有老師。但是,澳大利亞的英語(yǔ)課就很有意思,老師講課非常生動(dòng),甚至可以說(shuō)是在以跟我們聊天的方式講課,會(huì)跟你開玩笑,在課上你可以暢所欲言,不用擔(dān)心會(huì)說(shuō)錯(cuò)或者說(shuō)得不對(duì),因?yàn)樵谶@里,老師會(huì)鼓勵(lì)你把你想的事情說(shuō)出來(lái)。老師希望的是寧可說(shuō)錯(cuò),也不希望你什么都不說(shuō),所以老師會(huì)顧及每個(gè)人,會(huì)讓每個(gè)人都有發(fā)言的機(jī)會(huì),讓每個(gè)人都有展示的機(jī)會(huì)。
    In China, we get up very early in the morning and then spend whole day on study until 5pm. High school students work even harder. But in Australia, we can wake up at 7 am in the morning, that’s because we need to catch the school bus. If not, we can wake up later. We have our first class at 8.30am in the morning. In here, a class is quite long. In China, one class is about 40 minutes, but in Australia, it’s about one and a half hours. The English class is almost 2 hours long. Then lots of people may ask: Did you guys not feel bored with a 2-hours class? Did you want to sleep in class? I can tell you responsibly. NO! Because it’s actually different from study in China. In China, students do a lot of worksheets. Of course this is my own opinion. Australian class is very interesting. The teacher teaches through conversations, like a friend of us. The teacher always make some jokes. You can say anything you want during the class, you don’t need to worry about whether your answer is correct or not. The teacher will correct your pronunciations. And the teacher will give everyone the chance to speak. Let everyone enjoy the class.
    學(xué)校內(nèi)當(dāng)然不只有主課,也有很多課外課程,來(lái)豐富你的校園生活,讓你更好學(xué)習(xí)的同時(shí),得到放松,也讓你學(xué)會(huì)更多的技能。而且校園內(nèi)的設(shè)施都很齊全,你可以在這里學(xué)習(xí)到任何你想學(xué)的東西。你在這里不需要覺得英文不好就不去說(shuō),或者害羞,怕別人嘲笑你。他們會(huì)很有耐心地去指導(dǎo)你,說(shuō)錯(cuò)了也沒(méi)有關(guān)系,他們并不會(huì)在意,只要你問(wèn),他們就會(huì)幫助你,這就是澳大利亞人。
    There are different sorts of research activities in the school, to make your school life more interesting. Those activities help you to relax yourselves and to learn more knowledge. There are various facilties around the school. You can learn everything you are curious about. You don’t need to be shy or feel embarrassed at any time. Nobody laughs at you. Teachers provide patient guidance promptly when you have problems.
This is the central market . 

這是中心市場(chǎng)
