5月3日晚18:00,英语角迎来了Ms.Catherine L. Williams. 她与同学们探讨了一些容易被人们忽视的问题。
当有同学谈到家庭关系时,她说在美国,孩子与父母并不是紧紧地结合在一起的,而是独立的个体。父母不会太多地干涉孩子,特别是当孩子成年后,父母应该让孩子学会自己处理问题。同学们也十分积极地与Catherine分享自己的观点,有些同学认为,家庭关系是一个十分重要的问题,我们需要对自己的家庭模式有一个思考之后,才能很好地处理家庭关系。
Catherine还谈到了现在美国人觉得电影小鹿斑比给儿童带来了一些不好的影响,因为里面有斑比母亲猝死的场面,给小孩内心带来的恐怖影响非常大。在场的同学也表示自己在小时候也有看过一些类似的卡通,这些不规范的卡通电影确实给小孩子带来一些不好的影响。
今天的英语角在讨论中愉快地结束了,同学们均期待下次的相遇。
English corner: Society
By Huang Ziyin
The English corner was held in the library as usual at 18:00 of May 3th. Ms. Catherine L. Williams was the foreign teacher who attended today''s English corner. She discussed with students about some easily overlooked problems.
There was a student talking about family relationships. Catherine explained that in America, children were separated from parents, which meant that children were individuals and parents would not interfere with their children too much because they thought children should figure out problems by themselves. The others said, indeed, the relationship of family members was an important factor. Only after we reflected on our own family modes and formed our own concepts, could we handle family relationships better.
Catherine also shared her perspectives on the carton movie--Bambi, which left a horrible impression on children due to the sudden death of Bambi''s mother. Most students agreed with her. They said these non-standard cartons which could lead to harmful outcomes should be banned on screen.
Today''s English corner came to an end in joyful discussion. And everyone was looking forward to the next chat.
