After reading Don't Cut Trees in Winter 1, the article tells the story that when the author was a teenager, one winter morning, he saw a fig branch in front of his house, thought it was dead and wanted to cut it down. But grandpa thought it wasn't dead, just saving his strength. The author is dubious. The following spring, the author was very surprised. The "dead" fig tree has really sprouted again, and it looks full of vitality, just like a newborn child. From this, the author understands that there will always be bumps and failures in the long journey of life. If you don't give up at this time and give others confidence and hope, maybe you can work miracles.
In fact, there are many such examples around us. Sang Lan, a gymnast, was accidentally injured in a vault competition, resulting in a coma below the chest. She has become a disabled person, let alone an athlete, even if she can't take care of herself. This is a sudden disaster. Everyone is deeply saddened by her misfortune. Sang Lan also lost confidence in himself and stayed in Lacrimosa all day, moping. At this time, mom and dad gave Sang Lan great encouragement and support. They said to her, "Even if you are disabled, you are still our daughter. We believe that you can live a happy and beautiful life! " She was moved by her parents' words, stood up, went forward bravely, and fought stubbornly against the disease. Finally, hard work pays off! Sang Lan can not only brush his teeth, wash his face, eat and dress himself, but also learn and do simple housework ... Even the doctor said in surprise, "This is a miracle!" Yes, don't cut down trees in winter! As long as you don't give up hope in your heart, I believe there will always be a turning point, so that the dead wood can meet the spring and rekindle the miracle of life.
I have the same experience in my life. Although not as vigorous as Sang Lan, it also inspired me a lot. When I first started to learn roller skating, I saw that the gestures of those masters were so elegant and free and easy, sometimes rotating, sometimes hips up, and sometimes drifting ... I really envy them! So, I signed up for the training class. But I can't balance well. I always wrestle. Over and over again, the whole body is swollen and blue, which is terrible. It is even difficult to raise your hand and lift your legs upstairs when eating. I am discouraged and don't want to learn any more. At this time, my mother said to me, "Dada, stick to it, I believe you are not far from success." Give up now, the previous falls were all in vain! "The fire in my heart is burning again. I carefully observe other people's actions, sum up lessons, and constantly explore experience. Finally, with my efforts, my roller skating skills gradually improved. Yes, it is because I didn't cut down trees in winter that I have achieved today's success.
After reading Don't Cut Trees in Winter 2. In my spare time, I was deeply touched to see such an article in a magazine. The article reads as follows: There is an American child whose name is Tom. Tom spent Christmas with his grandfather when he was nine years old. One day, while playing, Tom found a fig tree in front of the house dead. Some bark has peeled off, and the trunk is no longer dark blue, but all yellow. When Tom touched the branch, it snapped. Tom said to grandpa, "Cut down that tree and we'll plant another one." But grandpa refused. He said, "Maybe it really won't work, but after winter, it may sprout and shoot branches. Maybe he is saving his strength! " Remember, son! Don't cut down trees in winter. "Unexpectedly, that seemingly dead fig tree sprouted again in the second spring. Like other trees, it felt the coming of spring, and only a few branches really died. In summer, the longer and denser the leaves, the more lush they are.
After listening to this story, I wonder what everyone is thinking? How many similar situations will we encounter in our education and teaching work? Almost every teacher will meet some students with poor grades who refuse to study hard. What should we do with them? If we give up on them, like cutting down trees in winter, these children must die. Once you feel hopeless, you will collapse, you will not learn well, and you will cause trouble to others. In this case, our education will be a complete failure. On the contrary, if we don't give up hope for them, always support him, encourage him, help him, let him feel the warmth of the teacher, and thus inspire his confidence and determination to study hard, maybe he will succeed.
I teach English in Class One, Class Two and Class Two of Senior Three. Students' English level is uneven. Some of the 150 papers can score more than 100, some can only score more than 50 points and 40 points, and some can only score more than 10. Of course, for those students who are above average, we should also give them enough attention and promotion. But for those students who seem hopeless, we must never give up. Zhang Hui, a student in Class Two, is already a boy of 18 years old, still as naive as a child of several years old, and his classmates affectionately call him "Ade". In class, he sometimes falls asleep with his eyes open; In his spare time, he will devote himself to studying profound philosophy that is difficult for ordinary people to understand; During the exam, he will stay in a daze for one hour and ten minutes during the two-hour exam, and then finish his composition in ten minutes like a rude awakening, sometimes forgetting to sign. Of course, there is no time to draw a machine-readable answer sheet with a score of 1 15. Final exam results? 10 or more is common. In the face of such a child, if I ignore him, he will definitely be finished, but instead of doing so, I gave him more love and care. In class, if I find him sitting there motionless for a long time, he doesn't respond no matter what the teacher and classmates say. I can
Quietly walk up to him and signal him to attend class with his eyes; After class, I will half-jokingly ask him how his philosophical research is progressing; Before the exam, I will especially remind him not to fall asleep during the exam, and he must think about filling out the answer sheet correctly. Hearing this, you may think that you don't need such a mother-in-law in senior three. I tell you, not only do I treat him like this at ordinary times, but so does his class teacher, Mr. Li. Pay special attention to him, no matter big or small, and remind him repeatedly. Many things have happened, and our sweat has not been in vain. Zhang Hui, who had been worried for a long time, finally passed the English exam, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
This is only a very small and common example in my work, and there are many similar situations. Dictation of words and essays every day, some students can only write one or two articles, and some students even don't hand them in at all. Facing these students, I will call them to the office after class, patiently listen to them stutter and read the short passage, correct their pronunciation, and encourage them to do better in dictation next time. When practicing writing, some students write completely Chinglish, which is absolutely incomprehensible to China people and foreigners. As for himself, he is still smug there. Faced with this situation, I first praised the advantages of this composition in class, with neat volume, moderate words and try to use the words and phrases I have learned. Then, I said, but we should pay attention to the differences between English and Chinese in writing. Then, point out the shortcomings of this composition. I found that this classmate accepted my guidance very firmly. I think, if we start with a burst of ridicule and ridicule, this classmate may lose interest in writing English composition in the future, so the students I teach will definitely have an extra paper with a composition of 0. I not only give enthusiastic help and guidance to students with learning difficulties, but also try to give some help when students are frustrated and encounter problems. Sun, a classmate of Class One, is always nervous before the big exam. He is too nervous to eat well and can't sleep. He always thought, "I'm finished. This exam, I am definitely finished. " I think a child with psychological quality like her must get down first in the future college entrance examination. I should help her overcome this psychological obstacle. The night before the exam, I talked to her about how I spent every exam in my high school. At the same time, I asked her to recall her previous exams and how she adjusted her psychological state, so as to sum up the lessons of success and failure. Our conversation was conducted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and an hour passed unconsciously. She went back to sleep with ease, happiness and confidence. I think she must have slept well that day because she did well in the exam. Exams have passed again and again, and her psychological quality is constantly improving. I am also happy for her from the bottom of my heart.
People compare teachers to "gardeners" I think no matter how bad my classmates are, we should try our best to see his situation after the winter, don't give up hope on him, care about him enthusiastically and encourage him. Maybe he will realize our painstaking efforts and know how to work hard. Maybe he will become a pillar of the country in the future and make great contributions to society and people. Isn't this something that our gardener is very satisfied with?
We shouldn't cut down trees in winter.
