不一样的风景 Terry同学中学记录（2003年3月男孩）

我爱qq瑭

呵呵，开帖挣点分，好去串串门。。
Terry同学于去年9月份进入新学校，6年级。学校使用IB课程，6年级是它们的初中（MYP）一年级。新学校当然酸酸甜甜各种，刚刚开帖，还不知从哪儿捡起来说。
老儿教里有些零散记录，先链过来一下：）

假期去的非洲，Terry同学玩得很嗨，跟他说你每天写一下旅行日记吧。人家倒是痛快答应，可是到现在就三篇出炉。一是旅行回来寒假的时间就所剩无几，他还据说要代表学校去参加一个History Bee&Bowl的Contest，总要按着脑袋准备下吧。。

日记写的时候忽然来了兴致，说不然我写诗吧。我们说都好都好，您倒是写啊。。

先贴写好的三篇
Day 1 flight is might
Poem for the day
Nina and I set off to Tanzania,
We wished to see beasts from the lion to the cheetah.
Time to go big, time to not go see only pigs.
I would rather see a buffalo, wearing a wig.
La, da, da, da, da, la-da, da-da!
Now lets get back to the right track,
We were traveling on a Qatar plane to Tanzania.
When we arrived at lively Dar es Salaam,
The flight attendant discovered mayhem.
Nina and her mother’s tickets were typed wrong,
Now we’re on the plane and they are quite gone!
We arrived at Kilimanjaro airport,
Enjoying the fresh air and the calming breeze.
We felt so sorry for those guys,
Who had to wait and do nothing tonight.

他诗里说的是我们第一天航班卡航输错了登机牌，和我们同行的家庭竟然只能到Dar, 狂打了一圈电话才在乞力马扎罗会合。。

Day 2
From lake Manyara we depart, to fun and soothing at the park!

Poem for the day

This is the day, which we set off.
Bye-bye, Arusha, hello, Manyara.
Our first ever Safari just right here, in front of my face.
And I am so excited to sing out, to wake right up and shout.
Now I ask you baby you tell what right now, which can possibly ruin my day.
We drive out straight to Manyara Lake, in the hot I feel I’m going to bake.
I tell Mike we should have a rest, and he easily push down the break.
After a few of very joyful yells,
I sit back on the seat’s hard shell.
We saw lots of things in Manyara Park,
From Blue monkeys I am going to start,
Cows, sheep, antelopes and goats.
Horses and zebras with shiny coats.
Baboons and velvet monkeys also donkeys!
Waterbucks and warthogs seems more cronky.
I can’t say now anymore,
For my own throat is very sore.
Baboon comes in and play shotgun,
I scare him with a little grunt.
The baboon fell down.
We laugh out loud.
In the night, I say to Nina then,
That baboon really needs some education.

Day 3 Serengeti says hello!

Poem of the day
Serengeti says hello in the distant North.
While I’m still asleep here making some loud big snores.
I came up awake, seeing a storm,
Blowing outside our window.
I snuggle in the sheets and go right back to sleep.
I’ve never felt this comfy and warm.
We had excellent breakfast,
That turned out really fast,
Because that we set off.
On the long and bumpy road.
Animals all passed in way,
Elephants had a say.
Zebras and horses grazed in hay.
And I was amazed to find they stay!

We stopped right there to have our lunch,
And right after that I had a hunch.
Why was there always a piece of chicken?
Lying in the paper bag?
Then mike opened the ceiling of car,
So I jumped in and grabbed the bar,
And we just headed off into the Serengeti,
I find the road so bumpy as I had always pleased,
I see a truck now it’s coming up,
We speed up leaving it in the dust!
Here past some gazelles,
And I make some more yells,
As we past the pack of wildebeests,
And flocks of Egyptian geese,
We saw the lions for the first time,
Easy as we had saw the lime,
Then we had glimpse of the crowned crane,
Before we really started the game.
A giraffe so close I could touch his nose,
And could wash him with a big long hose.

Finally in a very long time we arrived there,
At our hotel looking nice and warm,
The mention of hyrax,
Split my head like an axe!
As I leaped off the car,
And jumped in to the roads of tar.
I scrambled to find the hyrax I saw,
But it wasn’t one anymore,
There must have been more than four!
Nina and I went to the swimming pool,
And we did our best to swim,
But it’s more like a chase.
And the day ended like that as we finally went to sleep.

小孩的诗我们写不出来是一定的，有时他为了押韵经常要找一个生僻的词代替我们熟悉的，比如这首里的hunch什么的，觉得还是费了功夫的。
可是人家就是时态用得很穿越，一会儿现在时一会儿过去时的，我说你能不能捋成一致的啊。。不听。。好像能干点什么的人都不喜欢别人评点他们的作品。。

另外每天的诗都是以最后我睡觉了作为结语，也和我们中文流水帐一样啊。。这个有点笑喷。。

Day1Day2明明发了的啊，这是收回去审核去了

不会回复点评里的，在这儿回一下thyxxc。Terry目前是在国际校，虽然不同体制，但也是烦恼和欢乐并存，和儿教的娃娃们一样。。所以帖子起名，不一样的风景。

说说他的historyContest啊，旅行回来还有几天就开学，但还是希望他能稍认真对待下，毕竟不只是关乎自己啊，而且老师轻描淡写说的如果你们比得好下次就去新加坡还是哪儿参加亚太区的比赛。弄得小孩以为好像他们去了就可以晋级到新加坡比赛似的。可是一放假就放羊了，也没死乞白赖地布置他们看什么看什么准备什么，就给了一个网站让参考。。

简直，公立校是太把这种比赛当回事，首先你不行根本就不可能参加，即使行也得浑身脱几层皮地准备，开学第一个周末比，放假你还想休息？可他们这种学校又太不当回事，首先象他这样的人，怎么就给了比赛资格，整个历史是啥还未明了的，其次，根本不知道要也懒得准备的，我崩溃地觉得，这怎么去啊？。。。

说说后来怎么准备的吧。他们一个team3个孩子，他负责的美国历史和世界历史直到1789年的吧。放假前美国历史我是简单给他捋了一下，后来看到我手里的一本书<The making of America>上几乎都介绍了他所需要的那些要点。还想如果人家肯把这个书哪怕囫囵看一下呢，美国史就算这样过了啊。
有妈妈问我你怎么会有这样的书啊？我笑，我这样的人什么书不会有啊。。娃不给力，炮弹还不准备足点。。：）

世界史，本来想甩给号称懂点历史的某爹，谁知看他和娃说两句就发现爹实在不是用来教娃的那种人，他们根本不会用娃能明白的语言说话。。
结果，幸则幸，我又想起我竟然是有The story of the world的音频的，这个天地良心，好像之前是花钱买的，也推给小孩过，没被宠幸。这次稍微打压一下问你是希望爸爸和你捋一下还是希望自己听。那当然是选后者啦。。

而且听上就说太喜欢了！妈妈你为什么不早给我？唉天地良心我给过的啊。。
可惜好景不长，先说去了非洲几乎每天听不了10分钟就倒头睡，某天临睡前touch没电，某孩又执意要听点什么，只好打开电脑，播了里面唯一有的hunger Game。。第二天早起跟我说太好听了，妈妈你为什么不早给我？天地良心我能没给过你吗？没给过多愧对推妈称号！。。
之后的日子就再也不肯听历史了。。

（有抓狂的表情吗。。）眼看就晃开学了，啥也没弄。。然后就要顶着脑袋去考了，人家哪会急啊。。

我说你有信心吗？说有啊！信心满满。唉家有不知天高地方的孩儿你永远不用为他的信心发愁。。可是要知道真的是只知道一些呼啦乱扯的故事版的所谓历史啊。。
好在我问了他一下其他他的两个队友假期准备了吗？说都准备了。其中一个是他们年级的学霸本来就精通人文科学的，还特喜欢宅家看书的，人家爸妈还特有文化的那种，假期一定过得很充实。
我放心地想只要总体实力还可以有人补台别太显得学校太丢人就行。
又替学校的老师瞎操心想，老师是觉得有亚裔的家长他们就可以啥也不提醒地让娃提着脑袋上阵了吗？可是也有我们这种需要提携的哦。。
