l made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work. Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn39。 however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, No! No! No! It didn39。t take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English. However, that state didn39。t trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could municate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends. I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.學(xué)習(xí)外語是我一生中最艱苦也是最有意義的經(jīng)歷之一。由于這種積極的教學(xué)方法,我踴躍回答各種問題,從不怕答錯。以前,老師對所有的學(xué)生都很耐心,而新老師則總是懲罰答錯的學(xué)生。到了大學(xué),我了解到所有學(xué)生必須上英語課。我開始產(chǎn)生一種畏懼感。這種課程的媒介是一臺電腦、一條電話線和一個調(diào)制解調(diào)器。我盡力達到課程的最低要求,并按時完成作業(yè)。有時我會因挫折而哭泣,有時甚至想放棄。學(xué)習(xí)外語對我來說是非常艱辛的經(jīng)歷,但它又無比珍貴。由于我已能說英語,別人講英語時我不再茫然不解了。s learning munity. Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are being aware of online learning that allows them to study at home. Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students. 1. Be openminded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning. Many different people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to municate with each other. This forum for munication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly. 2. Be able to municate through writing. In the virtual classroom nearly all munication is written, so it is critical that students feel fortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra mitment by these students. Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. In this way, students gain great insight from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor. 3. Be willing to speak up if problems arise. Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their ments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up。隨著學(xué)生就業(yè)機會的迅速增多,越來越多不同年齡層的人開始意識到這種在家就學(xué)的網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)方式。許多人發(fā)現(xiàn)網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)需要他們運用各自的經(jīng)驗,同時又為他們提供了相互交流的場所。虛擬課堂的交流幾乎都是書面形式。不管是單獨學(xué)習(xí)還是小組學(xué)習(xí),學(xué)生們就學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容交流觀點和見解,并展開討論,同時了解其他同學(xué)的意見。這就意味學(xué)生必須直接明了地表達自己的看法和要求。學(xué)生在給他人解釋問題時,自己對該問題的認識也加深了。網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程的要求不低于其他任何一種優(yōu)質(zhì)課程。他們每門課程每周要上4到15小時。在積極的網(wǎng)絡(luò)環(huán)境中,學(xué)生從老師、同學(xué)那里感受到自己的價值,對自己的學(xué)習(xí)也感到滿意。網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)生往往并不總是對的;他們應(yīng)做好準(zhǔn)備,迎接挑戰(zhàn)。一旦落后就很難趕上。具備上述素質(zhì)的人通常能夠成為優(yōu)秀的網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)生。s the same thing over and over.

Sandy Finch, you39。t have time to talk about this now—I39。s probably that awful music that wakes me up every morning. I don39。t believe I didn39。s happening to our little girl. She39。re right. We need to have a talk with Sandy, said Jane. As Jane Finch drove to work, she thought about her Sandy. She knew what she wanted to say, what she had to say to Sandy. She was so glad that she and Sandy could still talk things over. She knew she had to have patience and keep the lines of munication with her daughter open. She wanted to be there as an anchor for her, but at the same time she would give her freedom to find her own identity. 收音機“咔嗒”一聲,搖滾樂就大聲地響開了?!吧5?,” 她父親喊道,“桑迪,把音樂關(guān)了!”史蒂夫”“我喜歡這種音樂,爸爸。“別,別開那么響,我受不了。然后她抓起香皂,渾身上下洗個遍,連頭發(fā)也洗了。就在此時,她媽媽簡走進了廚房?!薄八⑦^牙了?”“媽媽,我還沒吃完飯呢?!薄皠e怎么樣?”“別這樣煩我。芬奇,你還小,不能化這么濃的妝。再見。沒過一會兒,她丈夫走了進來??赡苁且驗槟怯憛挼囊魳访刻煸缟习盐页承?。也許吃點早飯能讓我感覺好一點?!薄傲钗覔?dān)心的是,”史蒂夫說,“那種音樂對桑迪可能有負面的影響。新聞里報道的盡是惹上麻煩的青少年,可他們的父母卻不知道自己的孩子有什么問題。芬奇一面開著車,一面想著她的桑迪。她想在桑迪的身邊,做她的保護人,同時又給她尋找自我的自由。 on things like music, clothing and what39。ll hear better that way, and they will be encouraged to talk more.
