(1)I, for one, am far from ready to use online courses for my learning. Don’t get me wrong I am very happy about all the communication and learning opportunities the courses have give us. But for me those opportunities should not be used to replace classroom activities. In other words, they are only tools to help me learn what has already been offered in the classroom. (1)我是一个远离准备使用在线课程的学习。别误会我,我很高兴所有的交流和学习的机会给我们的课程。但对我来说这些机会不应该用来取代课堂活动。换句话说,他们是唯一的工具来帮助我学习已经提供了在教室里。 I love the classroom. I love having classmates. There are forty students in my class right now, and I think it’s great. I even love having classmates who are better than me. And, Let’s not forget the smell of ink on paper, the sound of chalk on a blackboard, the hardness of a wooden bench or heat inside the classroom in early September. I love it all. But most of all, I love having a teacher—a ―real live‖ teacher. I get excited when I am in the classroom with a good teacher. I learn in a way that has been proven to work. I am given insight not only into a certain subject, but also into the world. 我爱教室。我爱拥有的同学。有 40 个学生现在我班上,我觉得很好。我甚至喜欢拥有同学是比我更好。还有,我们不忘记纸上的墨迹的气味,声音的粉笔在黑板上,硬度木质长凳或热在 9 月初在教室里。我爱这一切。但最重要的是,我喜欢有一个 teacher-a“真正的生活”的老师。我激动当我在教室,一个好老师。我学习的方式已经被证明可行。我有洞察力不仅投入到一个特定的主题,但也变成了世界。 What makes having a classroom teacher so special? A good teacher pushes me to succeed. A good teacher rewards me with praise when I have done well and stays positive and gives me hope when I am down . I don’t believe that a teacher using a virtual classroom can reach out to in the same way. A teacher communicating through the Internet cannot share the same type of relationship a classroom teacher and student share. 是什么让拥有一个教室的老师如此特别?一个好老师逼迫我成功。一个好老师我报酬与赞美时,我做得很好,保持积极和带给我希望当我失落的时候。我不相信一个老师用虚拟教室也能接触到的相同的方式。一个老师在通过因特网不能共享同一类型的关系一个教室的老师和学生分享。 I guess that I am lucky to have had situation to so many excellent classroom teachers. I will never forget the kindness and commitment that those teachers have shown me Their examples make it hard for me to accept a way of learning that does not include them . You can me ―old-fashioned‖, but as long as there is a classroom, that’s where I will be learning. 我猜,我很幸运有许多优秀的状况任课教师。我永远都不会忘记的仁慈与承诺,那些教师们告诉我他们的例子使我很难接受的方法来学习,不包括他们。你可以我“老式的”,但只要有一个教室,这就是我将学习。 (2)I’m not sure whether a ―generation gap‖ exists, but if it does, I hope I’m still standing on the youth’s side of the gap.

On the last day our teacher told us something 1 that I would like to share with you. He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle. He asked, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence, one student decided to 2 his idea," The world?" The teacher said, "That's close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any 3 ." "Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?" A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied," You are afraid." Another student said, "You may make mistakes." The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked," When you make mistakes, what can the result be?" The first student said," You 4 something." "Exactly, you are learning." Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow（箭头） 5 from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying," When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there, in a 6 that you are not comfortable with, The result is that you learn something that you did not know and you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person." He turned again to the blackboard and drew a bigger circle around the original （原来的）circle, and 7 a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc. A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world and learn, When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will 8 make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all be a better person. 1.
