随着孩子们的认知程度不断提高,也为我进行情商教育奠定了基础,引一篇英语课的纪实文字:
别总以自己为中心
昨天英语课,我们上“A Proud Pig”(一只骄傲的猪)这一课,讲的是那只pig骄傲自大,厚着脸皮到处问别人谁是这农场上最重要的,并硬要让那些动物回答是它最重要,结果被马揍了一顿。
课上,先是在老师带领下,做了一些朗读和理解的练习,接着老师问:“你们读完这篇文章,有什么感受,什么想法,都说出来,举手说,不要抢。”这问题引起很多同学举手,Mandy首先说,我觉得这猪老以自己为中心,很讨厌的。Frank(七岁未满)说,我觉得故事里的牛很笨,它比猪大,还这么怕这只蠢猪。Angella说,我倒觉得这里面的狗笨,因为它的尖牙齿足够来咬伤这头猪,而现在这狗却怕猪。被我们称作“大灰熊”的男孩说,我认为这猪又蠢,又胖,又骄傲。讲到这里,大家都哄堂大笑。
老师又问:How many kinds of animals are there mentioned in this passage? 我和Angella一起答:The horse, the cow, the pig, the dog and the chicken, five animals in all. 其他人也反应过来,叽里咕噜地跟着一块儿说。
这时,嘈杂声中又传出老师进一步的问题:“你们最喜欢文章中的那一句?”老师的问题真可谓一个扣一个,一个问题大家刚答完,另一个问题又蹦出来。Mandy再次领先回答:“我喜欢51页的最后一句:‘Straight away, the chicken answered, “You are, master.”’ 因为那只鸡一边跑一边说这话,害怕的样子肯定很好笑。”老师说,这个想法有趣。
还有一位男生说,他喜欢‘…the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth.’ 因为这只猪看到人家的表情有些怀疑, 它就凶相毕露,......
我最后发表意见,讲自己最爱文中最后一句,“You don’t have to do that, just because you don’t know the answer .” 因为它被马揍了一顿,还说别人不知道答案。
老师赞同地点点头,说:“我也喜欢这句,你看,虽然猪在向马求饶,担仍保持那种骄傲的口吻。语含讽刺,很有味道。”
最后,老师又问了一个问题:“这篇文章的作者到底想要告诉我们什么?”这一问,一下子就把大家问住了,我也一样。思考了一会儿,Mandy又说,这个作者要告诉我们不要以自己为中心,否则别人会讨厌你的!
“嗯,这是一个道理,还有呢?”老师说。Frank说,人不能太骄傲,否则别人也会讨厌你的!“对,人要平等,太偏向自己是不对的。这头猪首先犯了一个大错,把自己当成最重要的。第二个大错就更致命,它一定要所有的动物都承认它是最重要的,结果只好挨揍。你们现在这些独生子女,在自己家里都被当成最重要的,出了家门,可别犯与这头猪同样的错误哦!”
这一课上得意味无穷,老师嘱咐我将这堂课的主要内容记下来……

英文课文原文:
A Proud Pig
I heard a story the other day about a very proud pig. This pig lived on a farm with a lot of other animals. Of all the animals on the farm, he thought himself the most important. But it was not enough that he himself thought so; he had to be sure that the other animals thought so, too. So he went up to one of the chickens and said,"Who is the most important animal on this farm?" Straight away, the chicken answered, "You are, master."Then he asked one of the farm dogs, and he received the same reply.
Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth. "Oh, you are, of course, master pig," said the cow. "Of course," said the pig."There is no doubt about it."
At last, the pig asked a big horse, "Who is the most important animal on this farm?" The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over, and placed his foot on pig's head."All right." said the pig."You don't have to do that, just because you don't know the answer."(PETS/P51-52)
