If you were to make a statistic among students, what was your least favorite class?

Then the girls should rank first in mathematics, and the boys basically don't have to run in English.

[System: Classroom Challenge On!]

Challenge: The atmosphere in the class is very poor about learning English, and students are very hostile to learning English, so try to change their minds.

Challenge reward: an English learning machine (which can be used to play listening and pronunciation teaching).

Seeing the three boys in the class who hated English, Lin Ping wanted to laugh a little. But he also realized that this was not a simple problem, and he had to take it seriously and correct their thinking.

Ideological work is the first priority in students' learning, and if there is a problem in thinking, they are not active in learning. It is said that interest is the best teacher for students, once a student has no interest in a certain subject and has resistance, then his learning of this subject will undoubtedly be poor.

Lin Ping touched his chin, thinking that even if he couldn't make the students interested in English, then he must correct their hostile views of English, at least to make them have a normal heart.

Lin Ping looked at them and asked, "Okay, since you all don't like to learn English, then each of you can give me a reason, why don't you like it?"

Liu Weiguo was the first to stand up and said impassionedly: "We are Chinese, we speak Chinese. Why do we want to learn English? Foreign devils used to bully us, invade our land and kill us Chinese, but today we want to learn their language? Is it so spineless?"

"Well, I heard the simple patriotic spirit from Liu Weiguo's speech, which is very commendable. Yes, we are Chinese, speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and were born and grew up in Si, why should we learn English?" Lin Ping first affirmed the patriotic spirit of the young and vigorous Liu Weiguo, and then continued, "Then learning English is equivalent to not being patriotic?"

"Obviously not!" Lin Ping said, "If learning English is not patriotic, then we are now treason almost every day, why? Electricity was invented by Westerners, light bulbs were invented by Westerners, and the textbooks in your hands are now printed by machines invented by Westerners. Today, almost all kinds of high-tech inventions are created by Westerners, and the United States is still at least 20 years ahead of us in technology, do you know why?"

The five children did not speak.

"It's because we had a period of arrogance and self-righteousness. It's like a tortoise and a rabbit race, we are the rabbit, we fall asleep, and we sleep for a long time, and when we wake up, we find that the tortoise has built a small car, and then the tortoise drives the car by leaps and bounds, and we can only look at the dust. Lin Ping glanced at Liu Weiguo, "Liu Weiguo also mentioned just now that Westerners have bullied us before, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and burned the Old Summer Palace, all of which will be learned in your history textbook in the second year of junior high school." But why? Why was it that we were bullied during that time, instead of living in peace or that we were bullying them?"

Liu Qingmei lowered her head below and whispered: "Because we are lagging behind." ”

"Yes, that's right, it's because we're lagging behind! If we fall behind, we'll be beaten!" Lin Ping said.

"Why! Why should you be beaten if you are lagging behind?" Liu Xiangqian asked unconvinced.

"Have you ever learned an idiom called 'The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty'?" Lin Ping shook his head when he saw everyone and continued, "This idiom means that an ordinary person is not guilty of sin, but because of the precious jewels hidden on his body, he has caused trouble. ”

"Why?" the students continued to ask, not understanding the reasoning.

"Because you don't have the ability to protect these treasures and you don't know how to use them! And China at that time was like a puppet with treasures on his body, with a lot of land and resources, but he couldn't do it with his bare hands. So the Englishman tentatively slapped us, 'pop', he thought that if this puppet resisted fiercely, he would apologize and run away, but he didn't expect that this slap would knock this puppet unconscious. ”

Lin Ping said on the podium, and the students below listened with relish.

"At that time, the British only used a few thousand people to fight along the coast from Guangdong to the Zhili area, that is, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so we panicked, signed a treaty, and made compensation. Why is it that a few thousand people can beat a country of 500 million people and a million soldiers to their knees and beg for mercy? ”

Lin Ping took a sip of water.

The British slapped the horseman, not only stunned him, but also looted a huge amount of wealth, and then they found that the horseman was really rich, so rich that everyone coveted it, and they had never seen it in their ten lifetimes. The news leaked out, so everyone wanted to take advantage of it, and they rushed up, once or twice...... Pifu constantly resisted, but because it was too bad, it was difficult to make amends, which created the history of humiliation in modern China. And one of the most famous of these movements is called the Westernization Movement, what is the slogan of the Westernization Movement?" Lin Ping asked.

"I know, teacher. Liu Weiguo raised his hand and said, "Master Yi's long skills to control Yi." ”

"That's right, Shi Yi's long skills are used to control Yi. At this time, they had realized the importance of learning from the West, but unfortunately, they had learned in the wrong direction, and they only learned the Kung Fu of Expression, but did not learn the true connotation of the West. Lin Ping said with a serious face, "And now, we have nothing that we have not been beaten? Is it because the West has suddenly bloomed with the brilliance of human nature? No, it is because we are no longer so backward and have stood up under the leadership of the party." In the past, in the present, and in the future, it is still a truth that backwardness will be beaten, and this sentence has been verified from the past Opium War to Yugoslavia and Iraq now. ”

The five children had serious facial expressions, and although the information in the mountains was closed, they also knew more or less about Iraq, which they probably did not know about Yugoslavia.

"But we are still lagging behind the Western countries, and we need to keep learning from them and catching up with them to ensure that we will not fall too far behind, and we will no longer accept the humiliating beatings like in the past, and we will have to give money to people when we are beaten. Lin Ping said, "Therefore, the state requires us to learn English, and only by learning English can we better learn from the West to strengthen ourselves." ”

"Then you can't learn the West without learning English?" asked Liu Xiangqian.

"Yes. Lin Ping said affirmatively, "Western countries have firmly occupied the dominant position in the whole world since the Industrial Revolution, the first industrial revolution is the United Kingdom, the second industrial revolution is the United States in the middle and late stages, both countries are English-speaking countries, and now the third industrial revolution, the information technology revolution is still led by the United States." In the past two hundred years in modern times, Britain and the United States have firmly grasped advanced scientific theories and scientific and technological technologies, and built a huge physical system, chemical system, information network system and so on on this basis. Everything is built on the basis of English, you don't know English? Sorry, people don't play with you. ”

Lin Ping looked at Liu Xiangqian: "What do you want to do in the future?

"Yes, I'll do whatever makes the most money. ”

Lin Ping smiled: "The most profitable thing is finance." The international financial system is formulated by the United States, and the knowledge of microeconomics, the framework of the financial system, and legal contracts are all used in English, and they make the rules, and if you don't know English, you can only be played to death in international confrontations. ”

Then Lin Ping looked at Liu Weiguo again: "What about you, what do you want to do?"

Liu Weiguo scratched his head: "I'...... I don't know, I ...... I used to want to be a scientist. ”

In particular, physicists, whether it is gravitation or relativity, are all put forward by Western countries, and they have laid down a framework of physics that is almost impossible to overturn, and now the new theories of physics in the world are also proposed by Western countries, and if you don't know English, you can't understand these theories at all, and if you don't know English, you can't publish papers, you can't get international recognition, and you can't participate in them at all. ”

Lin Ping continued: "What I just said is all macro aspects, that is, why the country wants us to learn English, which is almost the universal language in the world. If you go to RB, Korea, France, maybe you don't know Japanese, Korean, French, but it doesn't matter, it's enough that you know English, because almost the whole world is learning English, and English can make simple communication between people of all countries. On a personal level, if you don't learn English, you won't be able to get into high school or university, just like you have a broken one of your ten fingers, and you don't have a complete appearance and function. ”

Lin Ping's words almost dispelled the idea that these children did not want to learn English.

"Teacher, listen to what you said, are Western countries so powerful? Are we bad?" asked Li Shulin cautiously.

"Of course not, Western countries are really powerful, because they have seized the opportunity to develop for more than two hundred years, and their economic development has created strength in all aspects. And we are not bad, or even more powerful, because in just a few decades, our new China has caught up with the development of Western countries except the United States, and even surpassed them in some places. What's more powerful?" Lin Ping said mysteriously.

"What is it?"

The children stared at each other curiously.

"It is our rise that is a peaceful rise, and our development is a peaceful development. The rise of Western countries is accompanied by aggression, plunder and war, only our rise is a peaceful take-off, and a peaceful rise is much more difficult than the rise of war, but we have done it. What do we rely on? ”

Lin Ping smiled meaningfully: "The future is promising, it is obvious that the future of our China is brighter and brighter than the future of the capitalist countries, and the future is brighter, and it is only a matter of time before we surpass them." And the key to surpassing them is to learn from them. ”

【Congratulations!Successful challenge!】

Lin Ping's education almost wasted half of the class's time, but this remark turned the yellow light on the child's head into a green light, changed their hostility and prejudice against English subjects, and changed their thinking.

In exchange for their ideological transformation with half a class, Lin Ping felt that it was worth it. I also got an English learning machine, which is a good helper for English teaching.
