见证奇迹的时刻

今晚，我和一些外教组成了评委组，对广州贵宾营学员进行了终极测试，检验学员在集训营中所学到的内容。今晚很多学员表现非常出色，超常发挥水平，赢得了掌声和肯定。学员们的回报演出也非常精彩，“有创意才有心意”，他们的创意非常好，把表演的节目和英语学习很好地结合在一起，得到了我和外教老师的一致好评。

十天，即将告一段落，虽然很短暂，但意义非凡。十天里，发生了感人的故事，留下了真挚的友谊。有欢笑，有泪水；有汗水，有收获；有留恋，有惜缘。每天，每个人都在成长，每天过得特别充实，每天都在改变自己，没有让青春奢侈在无聊和游戏中，人生变得有意义。青春是人生的资本，拥有青春就拥有未来的一切可能。没有一代人的青春是容易的，时代赋予每个人的使命是不同的，时势造英雄，每个时代都有特定的英雄，英雄的传奇将会在你们身上重复上演。任何人都可以成为一个伟大的传奇！

十天的夏令营即将结束，今天已经到了见证奇迹的时刻了。这是一个收获的季节，付出了总会得到丰厚的回报。每天早上坚持晨读，让阅读声响彻整个营地，这样的状态保持到今天，应该给自己一个掌声，鼓励自己的坚持，感谢同学和老师的并肩作战。在集训营期间，学到了什么知识，受到了哪些启发，感悟到了什么人生哲理，应该做个总结，给自己打个分数。

“授之以鱼不如授之以渔”，知识的传授不是我们集训营唯一目的，我们传授的是英语的学习方法，培养钢铁般的意志和良好的学习习惯。人贵有志，“三军可以夺帅，匹夫不可以夺志”。人的精神、意志是一个人的生命支撑力，只有钢铁般的意志，才能创造出空前的奇迹。

这里是一个神奇的殿堂，有一股神奇的力量赋予了你，你就是英语的神，英语将被踩在脚下，奇迹每天都在发生，今天就是见证你创造奇迹的时刻。

外教精彩奉献（九）

A touching moment at the LYCE camp I had...

It was about the 6th day of the camp. During lunch time. I was walking outside and saw a young boy sitting with his mother and father. I asked the mother why the boy was crying? She said he couldn't remember his passage. He wanted to go home. I asked the little boy to recite the passage but he looked at me and shook his head in tears.  He couldn't remember. I had taught the boy a few tricks how to remember his passage. We went over it again and again. After about 20 or 30 minutes he was finally able to remember his passage. He stood up and recited the passage to his mother and father, they were so happy.

The next day I was sitting down in the canteen eating lunch. The little boy came to my table and stuck out his wrist showing me his orange bracelet he got for passing his test. He was so happy and gave me a hug. His teachers also came with him and were smiling. I asked one of the teachers, "Did you know that yesterday he wanted to go home with his parents?" He couldn't remember his passage. The teacher immediately said "we know, he told us what you did for him. We are so thankful for what you did." Then they all left.

A few seconds later a Chinese Teacher I knew, sat down next to me with his food. I said to him, "did you know what happened?". As I told him the story. I started to cry. I was so moved what just happened. The young boy never gave up. He just needed someone to give him that confidence that he could do it. I was so proud of him.

Always try your best to make your country proud, always try your best to make your parents proud, but most importantly try your best to make yourself proud.
