　　An Interesting Class

　　餘析憫

　　Miss Tong， our English teacher， often teaches us in an unusual way， and makes her classes lively and interesting.

　　Once she taught us an American folk song. Its name is Jingle Bells①。 First she wrote the words of the song on the blackboard. Then she explained every sentence in simple English. After that she sang the song in a sweet voice.

　　We all liked the song and followed her in singing it several times. After we had learned to sing the whole song， Miss Tong asked us to discuss in English what made us happy. We each said what we thought it was： a beautiful flower， an interesting novel， a meaningful job， a moving poem， an exciting trip， and so on. The discussion was so lively that no one kept silent. It helped to improve our spoken English.

　　When we understood the meaning of the song very well， we sang it again and again：“Dashing② through the snow， in a one horse open sleigh③…。”None of us felt bored or tired， and all of us learned something from the song and the discussion. It was really an interesting class.

　　「寫法指要」

　　本文寫童老師生動活潑的教學方法。但是，作者沒有泛泛而談老師的課堂如何活躍、有趣，而是用一件事，即老師用教同學唱歌的方法教同學學英語，來表現課堂的。老師教得生動，同學們學得主動。
