Our Spare Life  
  We are students from Class 9 Grade 2 in Beijing No.4 High school. Mentioning the students in high school, a picture may occur to you that having lots of assignment and cycling between school and home with a heavy bag on shoulders. Actually our life is totally different. We've got plenty of colorful spare time. Teaching English in Aimin Residental commitee every Saturday plays a wonderful part of it.

  It is Saturday today. As usual, we gather at school early in the morning and prepare for the lesson that we are going to teach next.

  Though it is not hard for us to prepare the lessons, we all take it seriously every time. Gradually, it becomes the most popular social activity in our spare time.

  I think we teach them English is a good thing. Our society is developing, so the older also need learn more knowledge. What can we do? Can we give them some help? Then they said they want to learn English. So we take some time to teach them. We teach them some useful vocabulary and sentences. Though teaching their English isn't the schoolwork, we'd like to do it.

  We all make notes of what we have taught and find the best way of teaching according to their individuals. We try our best to let them learn more useful words. After a thorough preparation, we gonna go now.

  The residents are enthusiastic to study English and come to the recreation early waiting for us. We also make good use of the time, communicating with them in simple English.

  In the park, I often came with some foreigners. Sometimes I greet them and say "hello" to them, and they look very happy. So I would like to learn more English so that I can exchange a few greeting with them.

  For they don't have any idea of basic English, we slow down our teaching steps. If the English word is difficult for them to pronounce, we'll teach them word by word to make them pronounce it perfectly. We encourage them to use the words they have learnt in their daily life. That they are always studying hard made us moved.

  From teaching these old people, I can learn something from being an English teacher. On the other hand, I could accumulate some social experiences, and they will be very useful in my future. Though they are old, but they still have a heart that is eager to get knowledge and they all study very hard, sometimes I was deeply moved by their action.

  The teaching method here is distinguished from that in school. We don't want them to write well, oral expression plays a leading role in our teaching activity. To make them study better, we have two students standing in the front and others sitting besides as assistant teachers talking with them face to face. It takes much our spare time to teach them English, but nobody think it a waste of time.

  This kind of activities is a pretty interesting and expressing experience. Sometimes the old man even ask me some very interesting question, for example, one time an old man stand up and ask me, "hi, ho do I say 'community'?" I don't know this word, so when I came back to school, maybe I looked up dictionary. It's good for my study.

  Our English teacher gives us great support. Look, he brought the dictionaries for our students.

  When they do this jobs, they learn a lot of things, but maybe sometimes they found some difficult things. They can go to school to ask the teachers to discuss with the teachers how to teach English well. In this way, they learn a lot English, not just in the text, in the text books, in the classrooms.

  With the help and support given by our teacher, we've got great confidence. During the teaching activities in the neighbours', we also learnt the persistance and patience from them. And these encourage us to study us to study well and progress in the future.


我们的课余生活
  我们是北京第四中学高二九班的学生。一提起高中生,在大家脑海里展现的可能是这样的一个画面:背着重重的书包,有做不完的作业和卷子,每天所走的路线就是家与学校这两点一线间。其实我们的高中生活并不完全是这样的,我们也有丰富多彩的课余生活。其中每个周六到爱民委活动中心教小区的居民学英语就是我们活动的一部分。

  今天又是一个星期六,像以往一样,一大清早我和我的同学就到学校集合,为今天的教课做一下准备。

  尽管每一次教课的内容对我们来说并不是很难,但每一次上课前我们都很认真地进行备课。在很多的课余生活中,这项活动是最受大家欢迎的。

  我认为教英语是一件很好的事情。我们的社会在发展,老人们也需要更多的知识。我们能做些什么呢?我们能给他们一些帮助吗?他们说他们想学英语。于是我们就用一定的时间教他们英语。我们会教他们一些常用的单词和句子,尽管教这些老人学英语不是学校的作业,但我们很喜欢做。

  我们会把要教的内容做一下记录,根据学员们的自身特点寻找教授的方法,力求让他们在一个小时的课堂上能学到实用的英语。经过充分地准备之后,看看表也快到上课的时间了。

  小区的居民们学习英语的积极性都很高,每一次他们都会很早地来到活动中心等我们,我们也会利用这段时间和他们用简单的英语进行交流。

  我在公园里经常能碰到外国人,所以有时候想和他们打打招呼,有时候也可以说“你好” “你好”,他们也挺高兴的。所以也愿意多学点英语,学几句能够打招呼的英语。

  由于学员们都没有什么英语基础,所以在教授的过程中,我们尽量把速度放慢,遇到比较难说的单词,我们会一个字母,一个字母得教,以保证同学们能够把音读准,而且教授的内容也都是他们在生活中能用到的英语。学员们学习英语的劲头也让我们很受感动。

  通过教这些老人(学英语)我学到了很多的东西。另外我也积累了一些社会经验,这对我的将来会很有用。尽管他们岁数都很大了,但是他们仍然很渴望学到知识,他们都在努力学习英语,有时候他们的一些行为会让我很感动。

  在这里教授英语的方式是和学校里完全不同的,我们不是要求学员们能写得多好,而是要教他们如何说好英语。为了方便学员们听课,我们有两名同学在前面讲,而其他同学坐在他们的中间面对面地辅导。尽管别人在学习的时候,我们在这里教英语,但我们每一个人都没有认为这是在浪费时间。

  这样的活动很有意思,也很让人难忘。有时候这些老人会问一些很有意思的问题。例如: 一次一位老人站起来问我,“居委会”用英语怎么说?这个单词我不会,于是回到学校后我会查字典去找,这对我的学习很有帮助。

  我们的英语老师也非常支持我们的活动,瞧,今天他还专程为我们的学员送来了学习英语用的工具书。

  当他们在做这项工作的时候,他们一定会学到很多东西。有时候他们也许会遇到困难,这时他们会回到学校与他们的老师讨论,如何把英语教好。通过这种方式,他们能学到很多书本以外的英语知识。

  老师的支持与帮助,给了我们很大的信心,在教授小区居民学英语的过程中,我们也从他们身上体会到了一种认真和执着,这些也在激励着我们要更好的学习英语,在今后的日子中共同进步。
