你有没有去过孩子的学校?见到老师的时候,你会说什么?谈论孩子的学习情况,是不是有点紧张?今天,我们一起去学校,学习如何自信地和老师交流。听完这集,你就能轻松地和老师对话了。

今天下午,我要去学校。 这是我第一次参加小明的家长会。 心里有点紧张,因为我不太会说中文。 我坐公交车去了学校门口。 很多人也在那里,都是家长。 我看到一个牌子,上面写着‘二年级三班,请进’。 小明在二年级三班。 我深吸一口气,走进教学楼。 走廊里很安静,我找到小明的教室。 教室门开着,老师坐在里面。 我轻轻敲了敲门。 老师抬头看着我,微笑着说:‘你好。’ 我也说:‘老师好。’

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some key phrases from that first part.学校 — school, 我要去学校。家长会 — parent meeting, 这是小明的家长会。老师 — teacher, 老师好。紧张 — nervous, 我有点紧张。教室 — classroom, 我找到教室了。敲门 — to knock on the door, 我轻轻敲门。现在,我们回到教室,看看接下来发生了什么。

老师请我坐下。她先介绍了小明的学习情况。她说小明很聪明,数学很好。我听了很高兴。然后老师说,小明有时候在课堂上喜欢和同学说话,不太专心。我点点头,表示理解。我说:‘谢谢老师,我会和他说,让他更努力学习。’老师笑着说:‘没关系,他会越来越好的。’ 在中国,老师通常会先表扬孩子好的方面,再提一些需要改进的地方。这是一种鼓励的方式。我很高兴这次家长会,和老师交流很顺利。离开前,我再次说:‘老师再见!’

现在,让我们一起练习这些句子,提高你的口语能力!我要去学校。 — I have to go to school。这是我第一次参加家长会。 — This is my first time attending a parent meeting。老师好。 — Hello teacher。老师请我坐下。 — The teacher asked me to sit down。小明很聪明。 — Xiao Ming is very smart。谢谢老师。 — Thank you teacher。你做得很好!继续练习,你会越来越流利。

今天我们练习了如何在学校和老师交流,学会在家长会上表达。你有没有参加过孩子的家长会?你觉得和老师交流重要吗?在评论区告诉我你的想法。
