我今天刚露营回来，照镜子看到自己黑得如同煤球，晒的。幸好自己还认得自己，别人认不认得，who cares? 先这样，想看【非诚勿咬】，中文部分待续。
小作文练习：
An ugly evaluation from a teacher would make a student quit, I knew it well. Rereading the article The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly reminds me of the terrible comments given by a snobbish English teacher when I studied in a community college back in Toronto years ago. In the second year of my college study, my English teacher was a man in his 50s with a slight German accent. In his introduction, he was also a poet and writer. Back then, I was struggling with trying to understand lectures and text books that seemed to be incomprehensible, trying to survive my college with my poor English. So taking that English literature class related to the crimes against slave in Britain in the 18th century definitely was not what I was interested. Failed in finding a suitable class time slot, I had no choice but chose that class. Although I love poems, taking 5 courses plus working a part-time job I had difficulties squeezing time to enjoy his poems.
My English teacher, the first impression he gave to me was that he is a snobbish person, very arrogant, from his tones and gestures I could tell. Sometimes he recited his poems to the class and he sounded like he was the world-number-one poet, William Shakespeare and John Milton, who are you? One thing was for sure that he had a very good stage presence, but I didn't enjoy what he recited, why? Because my English was not good enough to appreciate him. Poor me!
In his class, there were about 30 students, and three- fourths of them are Canadian natives, and the rest, Asians and people from other countries, and including myself, there were five Chinese students.
Like other community colleges across the country, in the first two weeks, student have opportunities to give a try to different classes by different professors. If you don't like the professors or what they teach, go find a suitable one in the time limit.
So the second week of that semester, the first assignment was returned to us from our teacher, and what shocked me was the big freaking "F" on the first page of my essay, and the attached comments said: " What a terrible writing!" WTF! Right away my blood boiled and my heart sank. What a Ph.D, I was like:"Do you know how to give supportive and constructive feedback, do you know how to be a teacher?" Fortunately, while looking around I saw most of my classmates looked unpleasant and my best friend Lucy's sad eyes met mine and she gave a small whine. Therefore, relied a little bit, I knew I was not alone.
I thought to myself, maybe our teacher fought with his wife before giving us remarks, so he let his anger out on our assignments. Not fair! I comforted myself with these fantasies.
However, right after that class, in no time, I and my Chinese classmates together looked for a suitable time slot in the computer and， again， tried to switch to a popular professor who had been marked as a nice guy with well-rounded knowledge in business English writing.
再读The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 让我想起数年前在多伦多读社区学院时候一个英语老师给我作业的恐怖评论。学院二年级时候我的选修英语课老师大概50多岁，带德国口音。根据介绍他还是诗人和作家。他给我的第一印象是很狂傲很NB的一个银。尽管我喜欢诗词但是5门功课加一份part time 工作让我无暇欣赏他的杰作。他有时候在班上朗读他的诗，很有台型，可以这样说，但我欣赏不了，为什么呢？ 因为我的英语太差鸟，不理解他的意思。
那个学期的第二个星期，我们交上去的一个小作文被发回来了。触目惊心的是那个在我作业上大大的 F， 我不及格！他的评语让我生气：你写得实在太糟糕了。我第一反应就是震惊，死的心都有了。 什么老师什么博士！你会不会给评语？ 偶生气地想。 可当我环顾四周时发现很多同学都脸露不悦之色，哀鸿一片,境况堪虞。从我好友露丝伤心的眼神得知，我不是唯一不及格的。。。
