一片通英語(yǔ)聽力小短文第四級(jí)4-2: 頒獎(jiǎng)-學(xué)校-鼓勵(lì)
Awards-School-Encouragement
頒獎(jiǎng)-學(xué)校-鼓勵(lì)
Schools like to give out lots of awards.These awards serve the purpose of honoring the ones receiving them and also encouraging the others to do better.This strategy works,but by giving out too many,the awards could become commonplace and less important.
學(xué)校喜歡頒發(fā)很多獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)(給學(xué)生)。這些頒獎(jiǎng)的目的是給予得獎(jiǎng)人光榮，并鼓勵(lì)其他人更加努力。這種策略有其效果，但如果給得太多的話，這些獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)就會(huì)變得很普通且變得不怎么重要了。
One type of awards is the excellence award.They give this to one person in each grade level who ranked first in a subject area.The subjects include math,science,language arts,social studies,foreign language,and various arts like theatre,dance,and visual arts.Those who get two or more of these awards immediately stand out.
有一種獎(jiǎng)稱為優(yōu)秀獎(jiǎng)。校方把它頒發(fā)給各年級(jí)某一學(xué)科排名第一的人。這些學(xué)科包括數(shù)學(xué)，科學(xué)，語(yǔ)文，社會(huì)學(xué)科，外語(yǔ)，和各種藝術(shù)學(xué)科，例如戲劇，舞蹈，和美術(shù)。如果有人獲得兩個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)以上，他馬上就會(huì)變成從人所矚目的焦點(diǎn)。
Sometimes there are awards for those who improved significantly over the past.If a student is far from being the best,he could pretend to do badly first,then show much improvement the next time.Another interesting award is the outstanding ESL(English as a Second Language)student award,which is given to one ESL student for doing well in learning English.What is funny is that there are rarely more than a handful of ESL students to choose from.
有一些獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)是頒給那些比過去進(jìn)步很多的人。如果有個(gè)學(xué)生很難得獎(jiǎng)，他可以故意在一開始表現(xiàn)得很差。而使下一次進(jìn)步了很多，(這樣就可以獲得進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng))。另外一件有趣的是杰出ESL(英文是第二語(yǔ)言)學(xué)生獎(jiǎng)，這是頒給一個(gè)英語(yǔ)學(xué)得最好的ESL學(xué)生。好笑的是，候選的ESL學(xué)生很少會(huì)超過5個(gè)人。
