四川省内江市2019-2020学年高一下学期英语期末检测试卷
As a teacher we all have those memories of students—we wonder if we were able to teach or reach those students who had a need to get out of their seats every five minutes or so.
I recently received an e-mail from one such student, Paco. Paco's e-mail brought back memories of one particular (特别) class.
In our high school's first year, our classes were 80 minutes long instead of the traditional 40 minutes. On this particular day, I was being observed by two college professors. Of course, I was proud of the fact that the class was conducted entirely in Spanish and the students felt comfortable expressing themselves in Spanish.
On that day, Paco came running through the door with a toasted cheese sandwich in hand, saying "Senora Mike. I'm hungry and I hope you don't mind if I just quickly eat this great toasted cheese sandwich." I said, "Go ahead, Paco." Paco sat down and finished his sandwich. Paco had now noticed our two visitors. Of course, our two visitors noticed Paco the minute he ran through the door.
The lesson was going along quite well, and all the students were working in their groups. Suddenly, Paco raised his hand and said, "Senora, esta lloviendo en mis pantalones." ("Mrs. Mike, it is raining in my trousers.") Now, being Paco's Spanish teacher, I understood what he wanted. I knew that it was his way of requesting to go to the bathroom. You could just imagine the laughter from the other students.
I always wonder just how much Spanish Paco learned in that class, but I know he learned more than just Spanish based on an e-mail he recently wrote to me:
I know I didn't behave myself but you actually cared. You knew I had potential (潜力). So even though I messed up a lot, you never gave up... I'm deeply thankful to you for everything you taught me about Spanish. My attitude and life will stick with me the rest of my day...
You see, Paco was my student ten years ago.
