The Creation of English Language Circumstance(7)

4.4 Others

Besides, we sometimes give them more chance to read. We teach them English stories, like:
The man, his Son and their Donkey
      A man and his son were driving their donkey along a country road. They saw some girls drawing water at a well.
        One of the girls said, “Oh, look! How silly they are! A man and a boy are walking along beside their donkey, and nobody is riding it.”
        The man heard this and said to his son, “You had better ride our donkey. You are light, so you will not tire our donkey.” In a little while they met three old men. One of them said, “Look here! The boy is riding a donkey and his old father is walking by his side. The young boy does not take care of his old father.”
        And the man got on the donkey and his son walked along beside it. Now they were very happy. But soon afterward they met three women. Fastened it to a pole. They lifted it to their shoulders and carried it along to the town. When they came to a bridge, everyone laughed at them. And the donkey did not like the noise and began to kick. It broke the rope, fell into the water and was drowned. So the old man had to take his son and go home, “He who tries to please everybody pleases nobody after all.”
 After reading ask them some questions to see if they understand like “who rode the donkey at first?”” who rode the donkey at last?” ”What do you think about the story?”
We sometimes teach them English poems, like:
                      Life
Life can be good,
Life can be bad;
Life is mostly cheerful,
But sometimes sad.

Life can be dreams,
Life can be great thoughts;
Life can mean a person,
Sitting in court.

Life can be dirty,
Life can even be painful;
But life is what you make it,
So try to make it beautiful.
  After reading the poem, do you think what life is?
   We also use other ways like watching English movie, teaching English songs and so on. We create a good language circumstance for them, so they are willing to join in the English corner.
 

5. Songs and Movie

In English corner we often let the students watch English movie and teach them English songs. Because learning while playing, this is the best way to learn and the most popular way to the students. We can do this by watching some English movies, especially cartoons and English songs. Sterling spoken English is important and useful to educate the students’ pronunciation and intonation.

5.1 English songs

Most of people like music. Music has superb melody; it is euphonic and easy to remember. So when teaching some new vocabulary or sentences, we teach some pertinent English songs. The students will be happy and easy to remember.
