【emiko】英文閱讀心得: Chrysanthemum

英文補習班在上週恢復上課，結果，週四就舉行了BIG TEST。



當天的口試裡，老師給了她一句"awesome"的評語。​(她回答了一些不是書本上的答案，而是自己的想法) 這讓她非常開心，吃完晚餐後emiko對我說她好想再考一次口試，她喜歡那種把​英語說得很溜利的感覺。(太好了，我終於等到這一刻了)



我問她說，妳現在的中文可以出口成章，是因為怎麼樣？她回說，因​為我看了很多的書。



我說，對呀！如果想要把英文說得很好，最重要的還是要多看、多聽​。



她回說，就像弟弟現在每天在念書一樣。



我說，對！弟弟念中文書、妳念英文書。



接著，她就到英文書櫃找了幾本書出來念。連續念了好幾本後，有一本書她看了氣憤不已，邊看邊罵。我和William都感到很奇怪，不就是英文書嗎？Emiko在氣什麼？



問了她後，她氣憤的說沒想到英文書中也有被排擠的情節，怎麼會有人因為別人名字太長而去排擠他呢？bla~bla~地念了一堆。



我就順水推舟的說，既然這本書妳看了這麼有感覺，那下週一妳就寫一下這本書的心得記錄吧！



週一上完游泳課回來，emiko花了點時間完成暑假以來的第一篇英文心得。

Summary or Comment:



Chrysanthemum is a little girl. When she didn’t go to school, she thought her name is really great! But when she went to school, her life has a big change!



Their class has a girl named Victoria. If teacher is in class, Victoria is being a good student. But if teacher is not in class, Victoria will be a mean girl. She thought Chrysanthemum’s name is too long, so she did some mean thing at Chrysanthemum like when everybody was sleeping at afternoon, she told everyone some terrible things about the Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum is so angry and sad.



But one day, their class has a new music teacher, her name is Mrs. Twinkle. She is a good teacher, she told Victoria and other student her name is long and after a flower ( Chrysanthemum’s name is after a same name flower “chrysanthemum”) too. So they can’t do mean thing at Chrysanthemum.



After the music class, they said sorry to Chrysanthemum and told Chrysanthemum they have long names too. Chrysanthemum is happy .



I think do mean thing at a special friend is so bad. They are just special then we. If you like to do that, you must be the most dangerous person.
