<h1><b><u><font color="#ff8a00">Field Trip-About Christmas (Part 4)</font></u></b></h1> <b><font color="#b06fbb">On Christmas Day</font></b> 一大早,就從睡夢中醒來,顧不上刷牙、洗臉,就直接去找他放在圣誕樹下的長統(tǒng)襪。因?yàn)槲覀冊谄桨惨沟人螅瑴?zhǔn)備了好幾份禮物放在小小的圣誕樹下。當(dāng)他看到不止一份兩份禮物時(shí),特別開心。因?yàn)橼s著上學(xué),他早上只拆了其中的兩份禮物,一份是他期待已久的斗獸棋,一份是他喜歡的巧克力。 他還拆了一份非常重要的禮物,那就是“圣誕老人”的回信。 為了表示對他的愛,我也準(zhǔn)備了一張卡片掛在樹上,除了祝福語外,簽上了我和爸爸的名字。 他很興奮地感受到了來自爸爸媽媽的親情。 <p>In the early morning, Alvin woke up from his sleep. Instead of brushing his teeth and washing his face, he went straight to his stockings under the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve, when Alvin went to sleep, we prepared several presents and put them under the little Christmas tree. He was so happy when he saw more than one present. Since he needed to go to school, he opened only two of the presents on that morning. One was the animal checker he had been waiting for, and the other one was the chocolate he liked. He also opened a very important gift, that is the letter from "Santa Claus" . To show my love, I also prepared a card to hang on the tree. In addition to the blessing, I add my signature of his dad Victor's. He was excited to feel the affection from his parents. </p> 圣誕節(jié)剛好是星期五,下午姐姐從學(xué)校回來了. Alvin 說了,剩下的禮物要等著姐姐一起來拆。為了這一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)所謂的儀式感,我們還訂購了有圣誕元素的小蛋糕。 說實(shí)話,蛋糕的味道還真是不怎么樣,吸引孩子的是蛋糕上面的圣誕小玩偶。吃著小蛋糕,陪著孩子們拆禮物,體會著他們的開心,跟著他們一起感受圣誕的氣氛。比起很多家庭的圣誕節(jié),我們這個(gè)小小動作已是太過普通了。但對于我們自己來說,這是這么多年以來,第一次稍帶認(rèn)真地過了一次圣誕節(jié)。同時(shí),也利用這個(gè)節(jié)日,帶著Alvin 一起學(xué)習(xí)了有趣的英文和小故事。 <p>Christmas Day just happened to weekend (Friday), Alvin's sister, Daisy came home from School in the afternoon. Alvin preferred to open the rest presents together with Daisy. For this little bit of ritual, we also ordered cakes with Christmas elements. To be honest, the taste of the cake was not good. What attracted kids was the Christmas ornaments on the cake. Taste cakes, open presents with kids, experience their joy, and feel the Christmas spirit with them. Compared to many families, we are too common. But for ourselves, for the first time in many years, Christmas was a little more serious in our family. At the same time, I also took this chance to learn interesting English and short stories with Alvin. </p> Alvin 在拆禮物時(shí)的心情是非常興奮和激動的,因?yàn)槎际撬胍亩Y物,且有好多份禮物。<br data-filtered="filtered">Alvin was very excited when he opened the presents. Those were all the presents he wanted. <br data-filtered="filtered"> <b>Gift One:A powerful gun M416 from Santa Claus</b><br data-filtered="filtered"><br data-filtered="filtered">這支高大上的M416, 是他反反復(fù)復(fù)念叨很久的, 自然是要告訴他,這是來自北極的真正的圣誕老人送給他的禮物。因?yàn)槭フQ老人收到了他寫的信。 在此,要特別謝謝真正的圣誕老人,辦公事同事Tracy。小家伙那份開心溢于言表。<br data-filtered="filtered"> He expected the gun for a long time. We told him that giant gun 416 was given by Santa Claus from the North Pole, because Santa got the letter he wrote. Of course, we also deeply appreciated such a favorite gift from the real“Santa“,my colleague Ms. Tracy. Alvin‘s happiness was beyond words when he got this gun. <br data-filtered="filtered"> <b>Gift Two: Ultraman card (奧特曼卡片)</b> 為了鼓勵(lì)他將英語學(xué)習(xí)堅(jiān)持下去,特別告訴Alvin,萬思樂學(xué)的Ms. Jiang收到他的圣誕信后,特別準(zhǔn)備了他喜歡的奧特曼卡片,還是套裝,帶珍藏冊的哦。當(dāng)初他寫信給萬思樂學(xué)的時(shí)候,就在憧憬卡片,如今變成現(xiàn)實(shí),他就堅(jiān)信中國的圣誕老人就是Ms. Jiang. To encourage him to keep on learning English, we told Alvin that after receiving his Christmas letter, Ms. Jiang has prepared a special set of ultraman card he likes. When he wrote to V-learn, he had been dreaming of the card. Now it has become a reality, he was convinced that the Chinese Santa Claus is Ms. Jiang.<br data-filtered="filtered"><br data-filtered="filtered"> <b>Gift Three: Animal checker 來自爸爸的斗獸棋</b> <b>Gift Four: Sand clock 來自媽媽的圣誕沙漏</b> <p>希望Alvin 能珍惜時(shí)間,學(xué)會管理好自己的時(shí)間,慢慢培養(yǎng)自己在學(xué)習(xí)、作業(yè)、鋼琴練習(xí)等方面的持之以恒。 沙漏剛好是圣誕雪人的設(shè)計(jì),和節(jié)日很襯哦。 </p><p>I hope Alvin can cherish his time, learn to manage his time well, and gradually cultivate his perseverance in study, homework, piano practice and other aspects. Three are snowman and Christmas tree in the sand clock, it's perfect for the sweet holidays. </p> <b>Gift Five: Oxford China Traditional story from Sister </b><div><br data-filtered="filtered">來自姐姐的牛津中國傳統(tǒng)故事。 Alvin 對姐姐的感情尤其深厚,說了姐姐送的圣誕禮物,特別開心,并一直強(qiáng)調(diào),要好好讀姐姐送的書。 <br data-filtered="filtered">A traditional Oxford Chinese story from his sister Daisy. Alvin has a special affection for his sister. He is very happy about the Christmas gift from his sister, and he emphasized that he would read the book carefully. <br data-filtered="filtered"></div> <b>Gift Six: A big box of chocolate </b><div><b><br></b><div>From a considerate and observant uncle. 來自一位細(xì)心的會長叔叔的巧克力.<br data-filtered="filtered"></div></div> 當(dāng)然,也給姐姐Daisy 準(zhǔn)備了禮物。 姐姐的禮物相對來說,就是實(shí)用性的, 衣服和鞋子。 對于十三歲的姑娘,也是挺開心的事情。 <br data-filtered="filtered">And, of course, we prepared the gifts for Alvin’s sister Daisy, too. They are the daily items like clothes, shoes, which she needs in winter season. <br data-filtered="filtered"><br data-filtered="filtered"> <b><font color="#b06fbb">Family gathering on Christmas night</font></b> 一家人簡單聊了聊關(guān)于圣誕節(jié)的話題,Alvin特別表達(dá)了他在收到禮物時(shí)的激動心情。 接下來,一起照片,吃了蛋糕,幾年這么多年來唯一一次稍有儀式感的圣誕節(jié)。<br data-filtered="filtered"><br data-filtered="filtered"> The family chatted briefly about Christmas and Alvin specifically expressed his excitement at receiving the presents. Then, we took some photos, eaten cakes together, to commemorate the only ceremonial Christmas in those so many years. <font color="#b06fbb"><b>Recite of Peppy Pig</b></font><div><div>Santa's Grotto</div></div> 看了Peppy Pig 第四季的動畫《Santa's Grotto》and 《Santa's visit》。Alvin 的興致挺高,不僅反復(fù)看了好幾次,每次睡覺之前還會自覺聽音頻。令我沒有想到的是,幾天下來,他竟然可以完整地復(fù)述了。 要知道,我們是還沒有正式開啟復(fù)述的訓(xùn)練的。 孩子的潛能,真的是無限的,需要培養(yǎng)耐心和懂得贊賞的是我們大人。 希望能夠借助這次Christmas field trip 的準(zhǔn)備與參與,我們可以在接下來的日子上,慢慢走上復(fù)述這條路,多些生活場景的應(yīng)用和口語的積累。 繼續(xù)加油,Alvin. Alvin watched the chapter "Santa's Grotto" and "Santa's Visit" from Peppy Pig's (4th season) by this chance. He not only watched it several times, but also consciously listened before going to bed. To my surprise, after a few days, he was able to repeat it completely even we haven't officially started the reciting exercise yet. A child's potential is truly limitless, and it is we adults who need to keep patience and appreciation. I hope that with the preparation and participation of this Christmas field trip, we can slowly retell the story in the following days, so as to accumulate more application of daily scenes and oral English. Keep moving, Alvin! <h1><font color="#ff8a00"><b>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! </b></font><div><br></div><div>Hope we all have a healthy, happy and prosperous new year ahead.
