17、校操场的时候，迎接我的是孩子们一片“早上好”的声音。他们中许多人走了很长的路，有时候要走两个小时才能到学校。这儿没有电，也没有水，甚至连课本也没有！我还在努力适应这儿的生活条件。但是有一点是肯定的，我在教学中变得更富有想象力了。理科对我来说是最富挑战性的课，因为我的学生对做实验没有概念。实际上，根本没有设备。如果需要水，我还得从家里用水桶提过来！有一天，我正给孩子们做每周一次的化学实验的演示，我还没有明白怎么回事，混合剂就到处冒气泡了！孩子们以前从来没有见过这种情况，吓得都往窗外跳去。有时候，我真想知道，化学对这些孩子究竟有多大的用处。他们中的大多数人学完八年级以后就要回到他们的村庄去了。说实
18、在的，我真的不知道我教的课是否会让这些孩子的生活有所改变。你问我是否了解当地的老百姓。这实在是太难了，因为我还说不了几句当地人说的英语。不过，上周末我和另外一位叫詹妮的老师真的去拜访了一个村庄，那是我的学生汤贝的家。这是我第一次到偏僻的村子里去。我们步行了两个半小时才到达那里先是爬山，爬到山脊能看到奇妙的景色，然后下一个陡坡，一直走到下面的山谷。当我们到达村庄的时候，汤贝的母亲齐亚克本来在园子里拔草，看到我们就“嗳矣，嗳矣”地叫了起来。我们同所有的村民都握了手。每个人看上去都是汤贝家的亲戚。汤贝的父亲叫莫卡普，他把我们带到他的家里。这是一个低矮的竹屋，屋顶上伸出一簇茅草它表示这间竹屋是男人住的
19、。屋子是圆的，不像学校那样是长方形的。这里没有窗户，房门只够一个人进出。小屋内很黑，因此眼睛要过好一阵才能适应过来。地上摆放着一堆新鲜的草，还新做了一个平台，是供詹妮和我睡觉用的。通常齐亚克是睡在她自己的小屋里的，而那天晚上她要同我们一起睡在平台上。莫卡普和汤贝则睡在竹屋另一边的小床上。在竹屋中间靠近房门的地方有一个火炉。我所看到的仅有的家具就是一把扫帚，几个锡盘和锡杯，还有两个罐子。,二、课文精选段落背诵，请注意段落中的否定和疑问表达和过渡词A Letter HomeTheres no electricity or water and even no textbooks either！Im
20、still trying to adapt to these conditions.However， one thing is for sure，Ive become more imaginative in my teaching.Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments.In fact，there is no equipment，and if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a bucke
21、t！The other day I was showing the boys the weekly chemistry experiment when before I know it，the mixture was bubbling over everywhere！The boys who had never come across anything like this before started jumping out of the windows.Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students，most of whom will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway.To be honest， I doubt whether Im making any difference to these boys lives at all.
