心得

好久没有用华文打字了,是应该在开学之前熟悉熟悉一下。
想分享一下这几天的一些心得,或者说是感想。

前几天补习的时候,学生突然静下来,然后对我说:“老师,I feel like telling my mum that I want to be exempted from Chinese。”
最初我是很震惊,接着我自然就问:“为什么呢?”
他说:“我觉得我不能cope,而且我班上有两个男同学也是被exempted,他们上课的时候可以这样(跷起脚,用双手捂着后脑勺)。”
我又不知道该说什么。
然后我说:“就因为这样吗?上华文课的时候他们可以在课室后面享受,你就想学他们?就因为这样你想要放弃你的母语?”
不知道是不是我的语气太重,还说得太深奥,他静了下来。
我继续说:“现在,有很多很多的新加坡孩子虽然是华人,但是基本的华文都讲不好。有些父母觉得华文不重要,就让他们放弃。可能还有很多人还不知道我们的母语的重要性。现在中国崛起,很多人想要打入中国市场,却因为不懂得讲华语而吃亏,然后才来学讲学写华文华语。如果你现在就放弃的话,我想你肯定会后悔。如果你妈妈也觉得华文没有用的话,她为什么要请我来帮你补习?”
学生仍然没有回答。他一直看着我,样子很认真。我不清楚他是在思考我刚说的一番话,还是他完全不理解我的意思。
最后我叫他好好想想,接着继续上课。

昨天,到另一个学生的家补习。因为要开学了,这个学生的家又离我家太远,所以决定不补了,昨天是最后一堂课。这个学生非常调皮,上课的时候总是喜欢走来走去,静不下来。跟他说话,他也是“一只耳朵进,另一只耳朵出”。有时候我失去耐心,就会稍微大声地叫他认真听课。我想,学生大概都不喜欢会骂人的老师。但是,昨天这个学生竟然还送我一盒巧克力。我离开的时候,他还问我:“老师,我Primary Five的时候你会不会回来教我?”

因为这两个学生,我现在更加清楚,教书这行并不是我要的饭碗。

  1. 与我心有戚戚焉!两年前我的中二生因为不喜欢华文,不肯来上第二堂课,最后被妈妈逼得没办法,就带着黑脸来上课...然后我靠诉他很多道理,就好像你对你的学生所说的那些话一样,最后他竟然每堂课都来,我还一直教他到上个月... 我相信你的学生会听懂你的话,不会放弃华文的。非常同意,教华文真的不容易啊,特别是现在学生的水准,惨不忍睹啊!

On CNY

This CNY, I realised many things. I realised I have always envied families who go out as a whole for CNY visiting, or those who invite many relatives and friends over. I realised I am very afraid of the coming of CNY because CNY simply means watching movies and slacking at home for me. I love to watch movies, there is no doubt about that. Perhaps I just don't appreciate the latter because there is so much to face head-on. I hate the silence or otherwise awful hurlings at the dining table. I hate how I need to pretend to be hospitable to people I dislike. This year, I hid in my room when people I did not feel comfortable with came, then I was accused of being stubborn and impolite. Sometimes I really wonder if being myself is of imperative or being polite is. Whichever the case, I want to confess that I really feel tired and unhappy this CNY. The worst is that I feel that no one can understand because everyone I tried to rant this to tells me I should go home because it is CNY after...

On campus,

I think even if I were to leave after this semester, I would probably leave with the fondest memories. What more can I ask for? On a side note, I hope and I choose to believe that my true friends will understand, and so I do not want to explain. Today is my best friend's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BF! I know you know I am damn stubborn and rebellious and whiny and spoiled and noisy and choosy but you always compromise with me and give in to me in every way you can. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I hope you will always be happy because you deserve to be. I hope you will gamble less so that you can treat me food more often. I hope you will be blessed because you are special :) I know I am such a sweet best friend! 加油了GL,不要再蹉跎歲月了…
