【Emiko】英文讀後心得：Little Women & 英文 BIG TEST

March's family had four girls.  The oldest sister was Meg, sixteen.  She was a pretty, gentle girl.  The second sister was Jo- or Josephine, fifteen.  She look tall and smark, she was the most boyish girl in four sisters.  The third sister was Elizabeth - or Beth, thirteen.  She was really quiet and happyness, when the others were upset, she could make them more happy.  The youngest sister was Amy, twelve.  She was very cute, and she thought that she was  young lady, so she was mindful at her manner.

Christmas was arrive, but this happy day didn't give four girls a lot of happy.  They didn't have much money to buy some presents for themselves, poor life couldn't give they too much expensive things.

Suddenly, Beth had a great idea!  She told another three sisters that give their mother four gifts, but they couldn't get gifts for themselves.  Meg, Jo and Amy all agreed that.  Meg will have given Mom pairs of warm gloves, Jo will have given pairs of army shoes, Beth will have given a handkerchief with hemmed, Amy will have get a littel bottel of Cologne.

Then, Christmas came.  Four girls all prepared the gifts for Mom, but they didn't see Amy.  Then Amy came.  She changed the little bottle Cologne to the big one.  Sisters were so surprise about Amy's generous!  Suddenly, their Mom came home.  She came in with Meg, when she saw the present, she was really move!  In the evening, Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy and their neightbor played act called" The Witch's Curse, an Operatice Tragedy".  They were sucess of play act, everyone clapped their hand.  Four girls Mom - Mrs. March got flourishing dinner for girls.  What a wonderful Christmas they had!

I think March's family was really hopeful.  They didn't have a lot of money, but they were still happy and work hard.  Look at four girls!  They gave their presents to their mother, they didn't like live a life of pleasure, they should do so much chores!  They helped the others, and four girls didn't murmur at their life.  I really admire them, and I  want learn more of them.

前天晚上和emiko提了一下這個暑假她只寫了一篇英文心得，似乎太少了，要不要再練習寫一篇？她立即答應了，也在書架上找出一本『Little Women 小婦人』。這本書是中英文對照版，會挑這本書是有點投機取巧的意味。但，我主要的目的是希望Emiko練習英文的書寫，因此，中英文對照版的書也就沒有太大的差別。

她花了近二個小時才完成這篇英文心得，比較特別的是有一段重複用了一種 『will + 過去完成式』 的未來完成式文法。我問她怎麼會這樣用？



她立即到英文書包中翻出英文講義中的某頁，指著告訴我說這樣的用法是沒錯的。當然這樣的句型是沒錯，只是，在這裡用未來完成式似乎有些怪怪的。不過，我也不是那麼確定，所以就沒有請她更正。

在另外一方面，也非常開心她能夠學以致用，把在英文補習班上學到的東西應用在英文心得上，這是相當難得的。

昨天是英文補習班開PA的日子，也就是公佈英文大考成績的時候。大考前，Emiko因為參加夏令營缺了二堂課。這二堂課主要就是在考前複習這一期上課的內容，Emiko 因為無法上課，所以，她自己在家裡利用空閒的時候複習。

考完後，她有點難過，說考得並不好。

成績公佈，她以96分的高分拿下第一名。口試的確考得不佳，被扣了三分，都是因為回答時時態用錯；另外，聽力也被扣了一分，把 pedalboat 拼成 padleboat 。其它筆試部份都全對，包含一篇英文作文，老師也給上滿分，寫下了 excellent 的評語。

對於這樣的成績我只能用太棒來形容，再加上看了他們的試題，我只能說這些小孩真的是太厲害了，題目很難耶！聽emiko說第二名的孩子考了90分，差她六分。但，我還是覺得能夠考90分以上真的很厲害。換我來考，大概只能拿到70分吧？我想....

這句話我應該寫下N遍了，但，還是忍不住要說能夠在家附近就有一家這麼優的英文補習班真的很棒！雖然補習班不大，但，教學十分認真，教材編得也很好。以結果論來看，孩子們在這樣的教學、教材下，真的學得很好。很多在我們看來十分困難的文法，孩子卻不感到有難度，跟著課程進度一直在進步。

我想再不用一年，Emiko就可以上完這家補習班的所有課程。猶記得當初幫emiko報名時老闆娘有說過，上完他們所有課程後足以應付國中的英文。當初對這句話還相當懷疑，現在，Emiko還沒上完所有課，我就可以很肯定的說，應付國中英文絕對沒問題！
