Chapter 42: The Worn School Bag
No matter which subject is taught, the best starting point is always to build students' confidence and interest in learning.
The analogy of the radicals of Chinese characters to form the prefix and suffix roots of English words points to an interesting direction and cultivates interest in learning for the only two students. Strategically, despising and belittling English is to build confidence in Song Ci.
As the saying goes, sharpening knives and cutting wood, with the confidence and interest to learn a language well, and then invest time and energy, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
After mobilizing the enthusiasm of Song Ci and Liang Fulin, Yao Yi spent nearly half an hour explaining some of the prefixes and suffixes commonly found in junior high school English textbooks, such as "Re", "Un", "Dis", "ture", "al", "ment", as for further word deduction and part of speech change rules, Yao Yi did not mention anything, and planned to wait until Song Ci and Liang Fulin's English scores were improved before systematically explaining the word deduction method.
Although it is a fact that the structure of English words is simpler than that of Chinese characters, the so-called "if you can learn Chinese well, you will definitely be able to learn English well" is a white lie, Chinese is a language with understanding and perception as the core, while English is a language with order and rules as the core, there is a difference between the two, and the difficulty can only be defined subjectively, and objectively speaking, the statement that "learning English is easier than learning Chinese" is not true.
The reason why I want to say this is just to give Song Ci and Liang Fulin the confidence to learn English well, since we want to make them confident, naturally they can't explain too complicated content at the beginning, so as not to hit them.
Educating people is like planting trees, we can't be in a hurry, let alone pull out seedlings to help them grow, we must step by step, and grasp the "degree" of irrigation.
Seeing that the clock hand hanging on the wall at the back of the classroom was about to point to "7", Yao Yi picked up the blackboard to erase, wiped off the notes he left, and patted the dust in his hands while saying: "Okay, it's seven o'clock, you two should be hungry too, let's talk about it today, go back to your own home, and find your mother." ”
Song Ci was amused by this witty remark and burst out laughing, while Liang Fulin, who was dark-skinned and thin, had a serious face, stood up and bowed to Yao Yi.
Seeing the actions of the same table, Song Ci quickly put away his smiling face and stood up, and bowed respectfully to Yao Yi.
Although junior high school students are immature, they have also passed the age of ignorance, knowing that the teaching assistant has no obligation to give lectures to students on a hungry stomach, Song Ci and Liang Fulin will not take Yao Yi's free teaching for granted.
Standing on the podium and watching the two little ones bow to him, hearing them thank him in unison, Yao Yi felt a warm current flow down his heart to all parts of his body.
No wonder Mr. Ma resigned and returned to his old job to return to education, Yao Yi thought to himself, teaching and educating people can bring comfort and satisfaction that money cannot buy.
Thinking of this, Yao Yi sincerely thanked Manager Liu of the Chang'an Road Sales Department of Konka Company, if it weren't for his short-sightedness and stupidity, Yao Yi would probably not have stood on the podium and could not experience this pure happiness.
Liang Fulin put away the English book and ballpoint pen, picked up his schoolbag and asked, "Teacher, will you come again tomorrow?"
Song Ci also asked, "Yes, yes, Teacher Yao, when are you here?" I want to learn from you, but I don't want to learn from Teacher Yu." ”
"I am Teacher Yu's teaching assistant, usually I am there when Teacher Yu is in class, of course, when Teacher Yu is not there, I may also be in school, as for tomorrow ......" Yao Yi recalled for a moment, thinking that there would be one more class in Yu Yongmei tomorrow night, so he nodded and said, "There will be Teacher Yu's class from half past seven to half past nine tomorrow night." ”
"Then I'll come tomorrow too!" Song Ci was still not at ease, and asked again, "Then, Teacher Yao, you will also come on Monday and Wednesday, right?
"Of course. Yao Yi nodded immediately.
"Great!" Song Ci applauded happily, "My English is saved!"
Liang Fulin's lips moved twice, but he didn't make a sound. Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Yao Yi took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Nope. Liang Fulin lowered his head and muttered, "Thank you, Teacher Yao, thank you." ”
Since he didn't want to say, Yao Yi stopped asking, and when he was about to take them out of the classroom, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone to see that there were several missed calls - when he was listening before, Yao Yi consciously set the mobile phone to silent mode, so he didn't notice it - so he said: "Go home first, will the parents come to pick it up?"
"My mother should be waiting for me on the first floor! Goodbye, teacher!" Song Ci picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom happily, Liang Fulin glanced up at Yao Yi and also walked out of the classroom.
As soon as the two of them arrived on the first floor, a woman in her thirties and plainly dressed rushed to Song Ci's side, frowning and said, "If you don't come down again, I'm going to go up to find you, why did you stay in the hall so late today?
"I've memorized it!" Song Ci shook the watermelon head into a spinning mushroom, "I've memorized it all!" Mom, I tell you, I didn't know before, it turns out that memorizing words is so simple!"
"Simple?" the woman looked incredulous, "Hello, don't lie to your mother, have you memorized today's words?"
"After memorizing it, really, I have memorized it all! And I don't think I will forget it! Because the method taught by Teacher Yao is really easy to use!" Song Ci couldn't wait to share the joy with his mother, "Teacher Yao also said that there are many rules and rules for words, as long as you master them, you can not only memorize words, but also make words! Mom, I think I will definitely be able to learn well! Teacher Yao also said that I can learn well!"
"Teacher Yao, which Teacher Yao?" the woman asked vigilantly.
"It's Teacher Yu's teaching assistant, Teacher Yao. ”
"Teaching assistant, new teaching assistant?" the woman looked worried, "Nannan, you have to listen to the teacher, learning English is to write more, memorize more, memorize more, there is no shortcut, the new teacher may not be experienced, you don't ......"
Song Ci couldn't hear his mother say that Teacher Yao was not good, so he pouted and said: "Mom, you don't know English, Teacher Yao's method of teaching me is really useful! I couldn't remember the words before, but now I remember them all at once, Teacher Yu's method is not suitable for me at all, she will let us endorse the questions, so I don't want to listen to her." ”
The woman pulled Song Ci and said as she walked out: "Teacher Yu can teach top students with full scores in the English test of the high school entrance examination, why is her method not good?"
"Oops, it's not bad, it's not for me, I'll tell you a story, do you know why foreigners can't sleep and have to count sheep, that's because ......"
Liang Fulin walked out of the door behind the mother and daughter without saying a word, watching Song Ci sit in the back seat of the electric car with envy and longing, first waved at her, and then reached into the trash can on the side of the road, grabbing an empty drink bottle without a cap.
