Practice 383“老师讲题”怎么说比较地道？淼杀写作第383期【日本人教数学】

日本人在数学成绩方面要强于英格兰人和威尔士人。在一堂日本的数学课上，学生先把作业的解答写到黑板上，然后老师点评、批改，必要的话会详细讲一讲。学生给自己的作业打分：这是日本学校教育很重要的一个原则，因为这会让学生知道，他们在哪里犯错，为什么犯错，这样的话以后就会避免这些错误。只要你想要去从错误中学到东西，犯错误或者不知道某个知识点是无所谓的。

My:

In terms of math scores, Japanese have more achievement instead of England and Welsh. On a math class in Japan, students write down the answers of their assignments on the blackboard at first, and afterward, their teachers offer reviews or criticisms and explain in detail if necessary. It's an important role in Japanese education that students rate their homework for it could render them learn where and why they make mistakes and by doing so they will prevent these errors in the future. As long as you want to learn from these mistakes, it doesn't matter to make them or not understand some knowledge.

Teacher's:

Japan has a significantly better record in terms of average mathematical attainment than England and Wales. At the beginning of a lesson, the pupils put solutions to the homework on the board, then the teachers comment, correct or elaborate as necessary. Pupils mark their own homework: this is an important principle in Japanese schooling as it enables pupils to see where and why they made a mistake, so that these can be avoided in the future. No one minds mistakes or ignorance as long as you are prepared to learn from them.

Practice 384“集体荣誉感”怎么说比较地道？淼杀写作第384期【互帮互助的日本数学课堂】

能让一个人数众多而且水平参差不齐的班级在数学学习方面从6岁到15岁整个义务教育阶段始终保持共同进步，这是很了不起的。老师们说他们会在下课时或者放学后单独辅导学生，如果必要的话会布置额外的学习内容。有些课堂上，有问题的学生会被老师帮助，或者他们也会悄悄的向身边的同学求助。用心建立起来的班级荣誉感让学生们乐于互相帮助---再怎么说，整个班级共同进步对他们自己也有好处的。

My:

It's remarkable to teach a class consisting of numerous pupils at uneven levels to keep constantly making progress in math together during their whole period of compulsory education from 6 to 15. The teachers say they will give solo teaching to students after class or school and arrange additional learning content as necessary. In some classes, the students with questions are offered help from teachers, or ask help from classmates stealthily. Class sense of honor built by heart lets students be willing to help each other - after all, the common progress of the class benefits themselves.

Teacher's:

It is remarkable that large, mixed-ability classes could be kept together for maths throughout all their compulsory schooling from 6 to 15. Teachers say that they give individual help at the end of a lesson or after school, setting extra work if necessary. In some lessons, any strugglers would be assisted by the teacher or quietly seek help from their neighbor. Carefully fostered class identity makes pupils keen to help each other - anyway, it is in their interests since the class progresses together.

Practice 385“后进同学”怎么说比较地道？淼杀写作第385期【日本家长的作用】

后进同学想要学习跟得上，老师和同学给的帮助还是不大够。然而，日本人对于教育的态度遵循这样一个信条， 那就是“如果你够努力，你就可以做到任何事情。”学校会让家长充分了解孩子学习的情况，家长也会在帮助孩子在学习上不掉队，如果有必要补习，家长会把孩子们送到补习班，家长也会鼓励孩子再努力一-些。家长的帮助是奏效的，至少对95%的学生。

My:

Bad students can't study better just with help from teachers and classmates. For education, however, Japanese believe such a creed of "by doing your utmost, you can do anything". With the full understanding of the kids' study informed by schools, parents also help them not to fall behind and will send them to cram schools if necessary, as well as encourage them to work harder. Their help works to at least 95 percent of students.

Teacher's:

Assistance from teachers and peers scarcely seems adequate help to enable slow learners to keep up. However, the Japanese attitude towards education runs along the lines of "if you work hard enough, you can do almost anything". Parents are kept closely informed of their children's progress and will play a part in helping their children to keep up with class, sending them to private evening tuition if extra help is needed and encouraging them to work harder. It seems to work, at least for 95 percent of the school population.

--- 知识点 ---

1. peer, 字面意为“同龄人”，但在学习类的作文中可以表示“同学”。

2. slow learner, 学的慢的人，可表示“后进的同学”，意思大致与上一期内容的“strugglers”相同。

3. run along a line of, 以…为准则；遵循…的信条。

4. informed, 对…有了解。closely informed, 对…有充分的了解。closely, 紧密地。

5. progress表示（学生的）学习情况或进度。不要直译成“进步”。

6. keep up with class, 跟上（班级的进度），不掉队。

7. private evening tuition, 补课班。

8. school population, 学校里的人口，即“学生”。

9. adequate, 充足的。

10. scarcely, 表示几乎不。
