我由于無法解決很多工作上和生活上的難題，因此我上課時(shí)滿臉愁容。學(xué)生們都十分關(guān)心我，我便在STS中跟他們多談一些關(guān)于自己的事。
TEACHER'S
Dear students，
Many of you asked me why I was so unhappy； many of you told me that I looked terrible when I was unhappy or angry； many of you said that I made many other people unhappy when I was unhappy. Anyway I am sorry； I am terribly sorry！ I don't know what to say； I don't know how to say it； I don't know how much I should say.
Well， this is ME：
1.Every day I have to get up at about six o'clock， get changed in about ten minutes and then rush back to school.
2. I should prepare the teaching materials， mark exercise books， and have my breakfast between seven and eight.
3. I then get up to the TV Room in the hall to read one or two newspapers with a few students and have a little exercise for about ten minutes. （This is the most enjoyable time to me.）
4. I come down to take a roll-call and then start to have classes， normally five to six classes in the morning.
5. Some classes are extremely exhausting because the students are walking all over me， i.e.， I cannot make them behave well.
6. From one to one thirty， I try to have a little rest while I was doing the marking.
7. I go up to the staff canteen for ten minutes to have a quick lunch and then I am back again for more marking.
8. I go up to take the afternoon roll-call and quickly come back for some more marking or to read the STSs and write down my words. （This is the second most enjoyable time to me.）
9. On some weekdays I have to rush to theChinese University of Hong Kong to do my assignments in the library or attend classes.
10. When I get back home， I have dinner with my wife and my kids.
11.After dinner， I take my kids out for a good walk.
12. I play with them for a while and then see them to bed.
13. When they are all asleep， I start to write up my STS for the day or do something urgent.
14. Before I go to sleep， I sit on the bed andthink about problems-problems with my students， with my fellow colleagues， with our school， with my kids， with myself， …usually with no solutions. Then I sleep.

用分號將并列的句子隔開，比用句號更有感染力。
terribly是副詞，意思是“非常”，用來修飾形容詞sorry，有負(fù)面含意。
留意不同用法：
· everyday（形容詞） life =每天生活
·live happily every day（副詞）=每天快樂地生活
get changed的意思是“更換衣服”。
rush比run更能說明匆忙的程度。
have實(shí)在是一個(gè)多用途的動詞。它可解作“吃/喝”，如 have my
breakfast或 have a drink；也可解作“進(jìn)行（某活動）”，如：
· have a little discussion
· have a rest
· have a prayer
take a roll-call改用 take attendance較恰當(dāng)，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在很多老師點(diǎn)名時(shí)都不會讀出全班學(xué)生的名字。
exhausting 是形容詞，意思是“極其疲倦的”。
i.e.的意思相等于tht is，用來進(jìn)一步說明自己的意思。
留意make的正確用法：
· make them to behave ×
· make them behaving ×
· make them behave √
do 這個(gè)單詞已被普遍應(yīng)用：
· do the shopping
· do the washing
· do the checking
這里的 my words可以用 what I wantto say代替。
enjoyable跟pleasurable的意思相同。
weekdays是指星期一至星期五的日子。
這里的assignments跟homework的意思相近。但前者是可數(shù)名詞，而后者是不可數(shù)名詞。另外，assignments還可解作“任務(wù)/職責(zé)”，而 homework只解作功課“。
單單說After，…在語法上是錯誤的。
留意see的不同解釋：
·see her to the airport =送她到機(jī)場
·see him out of the school = 送他離開學(xué)校
·see them to bed = 看他們上床睡覺
something沒有復(fù)數(shù)。若要強(qiáng)調(diào)是“數(shù)”件緊急的事情，應(yīng)寫作do some urgent things.
LANGUAGE
The role of experiences & feelings
我們常以為語言能力強(qiáng)的人便能寫出優(yōu)異的文章，事實(shí)并非如此。寫文章的主要目的是傳情達(dá)意，沒有什么經(jīng)歷、情感和思想的人，難以寫出好文章。因此，要寫好一篇文章，除了語言能力外，人生經(jīng)驗(yàn)、情感和見識也是相當(dāng)重要的因素。就以本單元的STS為例，我能在20分鐘之內(nèi)把文章寫完，這并不是因?yàn)槲业南胂窳μ貏e豐富，而是因?yàn)槲医?jīng)歷了很多，想傾吐出來的也很多。因此，學(xué)生們在寫作的時(shí)候，要盡量將自己的經(jīng)歷寫出來，把情感抒發(fā)出來。請看本單元的例子。
EXAMPLE
Many of you asked me why I was so unhappy； many of you told me that I looked terrible when I was unhappy or angry； many of you said that I made many other people unhappy when I was unhappy.
寫不愉快的經(jīng)歷和被埋怨的感受。
EXAMPLE
Every day I have to get up at about six o'clock， get changed in about ten minutes and than rush back to school.
抒發(fā)忙碌的經(jīng)歷和不安的情緒。
EXAMPLE
I then get up to the TV Room in the hall to read one or two newspapers with a few students and have a little exercise for about ten minutes. （This is the most enjoyable time to me.）
抒發(fā)忙里偷閑的經(jīng)歷和快樂的心情。
有些學(xué)生的STSs特別長，原因十分簡單：他們經(jīng)歷多、感受多，因此有很多心里話需要抒發(fā)出來。請?jiān)谝韵碌腟TSs中找出促使他們告訴我各自經(jīng)歷的原因。
