北京市丰台区2019-2020学年高二下学期英语期末考试试卷
When the Bayside campus of Shekou International School (SIS) are still kept shut because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching activities at the school have been resumed(继续) online since Feb. 3rd, 2020.
The school is using popular apps and software for online learning. Video conferencing (视频会议) and office automation are used to help teachers keep track of students' conditions and communicate with their workmates across the world. Teaching online also offers a new experience to the teachers to update their teaching methods and to step out of their comfort zones.
Staying in Phuket, Thailand, science teacher Riley Laird records videos on a 10-year-old green sea turtle named Marlin and the local turtle sanctuary (收容所) as part of the online classes on ecosystems for Grade 7 students. "I want to connect our learning with the reality. The sanctuary sends us updates on the turtles' health and progress. They say that Marlin is likely to be released (放生) into the sea in mid-June," says Laird.
Rebecca Wallace is a Grade 4 teacher at the school, staying in her mother's home in New York. From 8 p.m. to midnight every day, she starts teaching mathematics and arts to her students living in different time zones. Though teaching nearly around the clock, Wallace says that she is getting to know the students better in terms of their homes, family and even pets.
Greg Smith, head of SIS, names the online teaching period a "new normal" at the school. "Students are now more skillful at using technology than before. They see that communication is the most powerful part of being an effective learner and can use the tools to shrink (缩短) distance and time. The "new normal" will offer more choices for connection to the world and more focus on creating real solutions," he says.
According to the school, 68% of its students are staying in Shenzhen while 27% of them are staying abroad for the epidemic.

Dear Li Hua, How are you doing these days? I'm having some problems and would like to get your advice. My parents want me to spend my summer with them this year but I would prefer to go somewhere with my friends. I love my parents but sometimes they are overprotective. I feel that I am old enough and responsible enough to go away without their supervision(监护). Any suggestions you could give me about this issue would be greatly appreciated. Yours, Alice |
