奇幻橡树之旅，感受英语魅力！（一）
The previous semesters at Jiahui Oak Foreign Language School were an exciting and interesting experience for our learners. We had some fascinating events and contests that our students thoroughly enjoyed. It must be said that the start to this semester has been a trying and challenging period for us all, however this hasn’t stopped the teachers from Jiahui Oak Foreign Language School from delivering a world class teaching experience.
嘉汇橡树外国语学校的学生们拥有很多兴奋和有趣的经历。我们有一些有趣的活动和比赛，学生非常喜欢。我必须说，这学期的开端对我们大家来说都是一个艰难和挑战的时期，但这并没有阻止嘉汇橡树外国语学校的老师们提供世界级的教学经验。
We have striven to ensure that the education of our students hasn’t stopped as a result of the interruptions. We, as teachers, remain fully committed to producing lessons and content to encourage our students and to ensure that active learning still takes place.
我们努力确保我们学生的教育不因这些突发情况而停止。作为教师，我们仍然充分致力于制作课程和内容，以鼓励我们的学生，并确保他们进行积极的学习。
Before I speak about what we are currently doing in Grade two, I would like to share some wonderful events with you that took place during the previous semesters.
在我谈到我们二年级正在做的事情之前，我想和大家分享一些在前期学习中发生的精彩事件。
We had some interesting themed days during the previous semester that included ‘Pajama Day’, ‘Red and Green Day’ and ‘Scary Day’ to name a few.
The aims of these events were not only for the students to have some fun but also for the students to engage in English learning in a relaxed and collaborative environment. We read stories, watched interactive videos and also engaged in arts in crafts. Through all these activities students were continuously engaged in learning English.
上学期我们有一些有趣的主题日，包括“睡衣日”、“红绿日”和“恐怖日”。
这些活动的目的不仅是为了让学生们玩得开心，而且也是为了让学生们在轻松和协作的环境中学习英语。我们读故事，看互动视频，还做了手工作品。通过这些活动，学生们可以不断地学习英语、享受英语。
However, it was not all fun and games. We also had our English Poem Recitation and Spelling Bee contests. Every student showed great determination and a will to succeed. They were very dedicated and all of them performed admirably. We are extremely proud of all our students.
然而，我们并不是只有乐趣游戏。我们还举行了英语诗歌朗诵和拼写比赛。每个学生都表现出极大的决心和成功的意志。他们非常投入，所有人的表现都令人钦佩。我们为我们所有的学生感到骄傲。
Actually, what amazed me the most was how all of the students’ speaking and spelling improved as a result of the contests. Students were excited to show their teachers how they are able to spell difficult words! This shows that friendly competition can sometimes have a positive effect on a learner’s education.
事实上，最让我吃惊的是，所有学生的口语和拼写能力都在竞赛中得到了提高。学生们兴奋地向老师展示他们是如何拼写复杂的单词的！这表明，友好竞争有时会对学习者的教育产生积极影响。
Online teaching in the current school environment
目前学校的线上教学情况。
Due to the current, unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves in, we’ve had to evolve and move to online learning in order to ensure that learning doesn’t cease during this difficult period. This has posed certain problems and challenges, however we as teachers will continuously find a way to ensure our students’ education always comes first.Teaching online requires different methods from the traditional classroom. It’s imperative that we, as teachers, adapt our skills to the online learning environment in order to ensure that our lessons remain effective and engaging for learners.
由于目前我们所处的不可预见的环境，我们不得不转向在线学习，以确保学习不会在这个困难时期停止。这带来了一定的问题和挑战，但作为教师，我们会不断地寻找一种方法来确保我们的学生教育始终是第一位的，在线教学需要不同于传统课堂的方法。作为教师，我们必须调整我们的技能以适应在线学习环境，以确保我们的课程对学习者保持有效性和参与性。
Teacher Kylie and myself, Teacher Layton, actually live very close to each other in South Africa and this has really helped us to collaborate on lessons to ensure we make exciting and interesting content for our wonderful Grade 2’s. As is evident in the videos, we endeavour to include real life videos and pictures in order to make learning exciting and more relatable to our students. This, we believe, assists students to make real life connections and assists in the recalling and memorization of information.
Kylie老师和我，Layton老师，实际上在南非住的非常近，这真的帮助我们在课程上进行合作，确保我们为我们精彩的二年级制作令人兴奋和有趣的内容，我们努力把真实生活中的视频和图片包括进来，以便使学习更加激动人心，更加贴近学生。我们相信，这有助于学生建立现实生活中的联系，并有助于回忆和记忆信息。
Our grade two teachers thoroughly enjoy the time of the week when we read to our students. We carefully select the books and the vocabulary we are going to teach.
我们二年级的老师非常喜欢我们每周给学生读书的时间。我们仔细挑选要教的书和词汇。
We, as foreign teachers.
我们作为外教老师
As foreign English teachers, our main goal is to ensure that our students master all aspects of the English language; be it reading, writing, listening or speaking. Additionally, we also strive to ensure that, through English language instruction, we enable our learners to use English for communication with people from different cultural backgrounds. This ensures that they will be able to communicate with people from around the world which could lead to endless possibilities. More importantly, it’s about fun. We would like our students to feel excited when they come to our class. We want them to feel that they are able to freely express their own thoughts and ideas in a safe, supporting environment.
作为外籍英语教师，我们的主要目标是确保学生掌握英语的各个方面，无论是阅读、写作、听力还是口语。此外，我们还努力确保通过英语教学，使我们的学习者能够使用英语与来自不同文化背景的人进行交流。这将确保他们能够与来自世界各地的人交流，这可能会带来无穷的可能性。更重要的是，英语学习是有趣的。我们希望我们的学生来上课时感到兴奋。我们希望他们能够在安全的环境中自由表达自己的想法。
We wish that all our students as well as their families remain safe and healthy during this testing period and we, as teachers, look forward to welcoming everyone back to school as soon as possible. Until then, we promise to continue to educate and enrich our students with our online and interactive lessons to ensure uninterrupted learning persists.
我们希望我们所有的学生和他们的家人在这个期间保证安全和健康，我们作为教师，期待着大家尽快回到学校。在此之前，我们承诺继续通过我们的在线和互动课程来教育和丰富我们的学生，以确保持续不断的学习。
