双语外教日记:You Are My Sunshine

 Dear Diary,

     Today was probably my favorite day teaching thus far. My students have been begging me to teach them more about American styled music so I told them last week if they were good and practiced the new words I gave them that I would do a lesson on music. So, today I taught them about different music genres and what each genre is called. After I taught them the english word for each genre, we would listen to some music and they would have to guess which genre it was. The students did very well and remembered the english words I had taught them. I also taught them about instruments and gave them the english words for the new instruments they didn't know. After I had taught them about genres and instruments, I taught them an American folk song called, "You Are My Sunshine." Its a charming little love song and it's very popular in the western world. The students were so excited to sing the song and I was suprised how easily they picked it up! After singing it together about four or five times they were able to sing it on their own! I was so proud! If I was to teach that song to American kids my students age I think they would be too shy to sing it so I was so happy my students loved singing it so much. 

     I was so grateful to have such a fun day teaching today, and I felt like my students really learned a lot. I think it's good to teach them songs because it's easier to remember words when you put them to a rythmn. I'm excited to teach the rest of my students my music lesson this week, and I hope they enjoy it as much as my first class did! 


亲爱的日记,

 

     今天可能是我教学迄今最喜欢的一天。我的学生一直乞求我教他们更多关于美国风格的音乐,所以上周我告诉他们,如果他们好好的练习了我教给他们的新单词的话,我就给他们上做一节关于音乐的课。所以,今天我教他们不同的音乐流派,以及每个流派的命名。在我教给他们每个流派的英文单词后,我们会听一些音乐,他们将不得不猜这些音乐是哪个流派的。学生们的表现非常好,并且记住了我教他们英语单词。我还教他们有关乐器以及一些新的他们不认识的乐器的英语单词。在我教给他们流派和乐器之后,我教他们唱了一首叫“你是我的阳光”的美国民歌。它是一首迷人的小情歌,它在西方世界非常流行。学生们兴奋地唱这首歌,我很惊讶他们是多么容易的就能唱起来!在合唱四、五次后,他们能够独自唱!我是如此的骄傲!如果我是教我的学生同龄的美国孩子,我想他们会太害羞了而唱不好,所以我很高兴我的学生如此喜欢唱这首歌。


     我很感激这样一天有趣的教学,我觉得我的学生真的学到了很多东西。我认为教他们唱歌是很好的,因为单词押韵后更容易记住。我很兴奋这周能教我剩下的学生音乐课,希望他们像我第一节课(的学生)这么喜欢!
