John: You write so well. How long have you practiced handwriting?

Lin Feng: No, I hated doing like that, especially when I saw other children playing happily outside. My father let me calm down and wrote each word carefully.

链接二:各国中学生课外活动安排与才艺培养

1.美国

在美国,学生的课外活动被看作是美国教育内容的组成部分。美国中学生的课外活动多种多样,估计不下四五十种,可分为学术性、娱乐性、体育活动和社区活动。

学术性的包括自然科学、数学、电脑、写作、编辑、辩论等学生社团;娱乐性的有话剧社、合唱团、乐队、舞蹈队、摄影社、桥牌社、未来农民社、少年企业家社等;体育活动包括各种运动校队、体操队、啦啦队等。各种课外活动都有一个辅导老师。

各社团经费来源,除收会费外,主要靠勤工俭学,如学生帮人洗车、扫庭院落叶、扫雪、推销礼品和演出门票等等。

美国各学校把课外活动作为帮助学生增长才干、适应社会的重要措施,经常进行考核,认为从中可以看出学生的竞争心理、责任感、领导能力和人际关系。据专家研究,课外活动表现突出的学生,将来很可能是学术或政治方面的优秀人物。

2. 英国

每到星期天,只要天气良好,摄政公园里总有不少学生在老师的带领下,或是参观动物园,或是在草地上做游戏,或是在洒满阳光的草地上踢足球,他们来回奔跑,满身泥巴,笑声不断。

即使上课,英国学生也像做游戏,他们每天的课时并不多,中学生四节,小学生更少,考试不用百分制。学校认为,学生最重要的是体能培养和素质教育,不提倡学生死读课本,老师也很少布置作业。学校和社会上办有各种学生俱乐部,如足球、网球、棋艺、旅行等俱乐部,一般都是跨班级和跨学校的。学校鼓励学生参加俱乐部的活动。在这里,他们可以认识更多的朋友,扩展视野,锻炼社交能力。

3.法国

孩子们的放学时间是5点半,但周三下午不上学,那是教育部规定的,特意给孩子们留出的课外活动时间,也就是让孩子们有半天时间去学教科书以外的知识,比如音乐、体育、绘画等,以便完善孩子们的全面修养。

事实上,法国绝大多数的父母和中国父母一样,望子成龙的思想也非常普遍,请家教补习功课,让孩子上各种课外班。增加音乐、体育、绘画、舞蹈等各种课外班,并不是让孩子放任自流的。在当今世界经济危机中,就业率下降和找工作难的情况下,社会给孩子的压力一点儿也不比国内小。

4.日本

日本的学生很有才艺,每个学生都至少会一种乐器,学校有各种各样的活动和表演,而且日本的学校很干净,每天都要打扫,学生的身体素质很好,每天的体育锻炼是必不可少的。日本人的教育是比较严格的,但跟中国比起来,他们在中学时期接触的东西还是比较简单的,显然不如中国孩子辛苦。日本小孩的素质也比较高,独立能力很强。

日本学校课程比较轻松,很早就放学了,一般下午就两节课,放学后就是社团活动。社团从小学起就有了,形式丰富,而且都搞得有模有样,足球队、棒球队,经常训练到晚上七八点。

5.加拿大

加拿大的中学下课后,学校会提供各种课外活动以及兴趣小组。如果学校的设施比较好,就会有足球、橄榄球、棒球和篮球、网球的活动。很多人不知道的是加拿大的学生是很喜欢乒乓球的,所以作为来自乒乓球大国的同学们,要为国争光啊!也有不少学校会提供合唱、乐队、电声乐队以及绘画的艺术类兴趣小组。如果同学希望将来申请设计类、艺术类的专业,加拿大中学的活动经历对于大学的录取有着非常重要的作用。对于那些理科生, 下课后的科学小组也会组织各种挑战试验。 烹饪课、家务课、汽修课也会给同学们一些体验的机会。

学校原则上是不会安排课后学习的,所以有些同学就会选择到图书馆自习。
