JUST ASK
本文作者： TEENS
Q: Dear Mike, I’m in ninth grade. This is an important grade in junior high. Recently, I got a new English teacher. I’ve found that I can’t adapt to (适应) her teaching methods. I don’t want to give up on this subject because it’s really important. What should I do? – Linda A: Dear Linda, “The only constant (不变的) in life is change.” Have you heard it before? It means that life is always changing and bringing us new challenges. Change is hard. I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers … it can be difficult to handle (处理) sometimes. And not all change is good. It can be frustrating to adapt to new situations. However, I do have some suggestions. First, you can talk with your teacher after class and discuss your problem. Do make sure to be polite when you do this － it’s not necessarily your teacher’s fault that you’re having difficulty with her methods. Try to find some common ground. Good teachers will do their best to make sure that all of the students in their classes can benefit (从……受益) from their teaching. – Mike, 21st Century Teens staff A: Dear Linda, You should know that studying English is important for your future, but not for your teacher. Try to talk to your teacher. If they can’t help you, I’m afraid you will have to solve the problem by yourself. I assume (假定) that this teacher is not the only English teacher in your school. You could ask other English teachers some questions during your breaks. You also can learn English outside of school, such as by taking an online English course. You can surely find a suitable (合适的) teacher for yourself. All in all, if you don’t want to give up studying English, then you’d better work hard on it, no matter who teaches you. It’s always a good idea to be optimistic (积极的) about any situation you’re in. – Zhao Xin, 15, Beijing |  |
