Lesson 53: Working in Groups
课文全译
THINK ABOUT IT ? Do you like group work？
? What can you do to help your group work well together？
“OK class,” says Ms. Liu. “It’s time for our group project. Let’s get to work!”
Yi Han is the leader of one group. She is not looking forward to working with her group because a boy named Li Tian is always absent from the group meetings. He doesn’t follow the rules, and he refuses to do any work. This slows the whole group down.
Yi Han considers telling Ms. Liu about these problems, but she doesn’t want to get Li Tian in trouble. Instead, she decides to talk to him and find out what the problem is. She says, “Everyone is working hard on our project. But so far, you have done nothing. Is there something wrong?”
Li Tian is quiet for a few seconds, but finally says, “It’s not that I don’t want to be in the group. Sometimes, I don’t really understand the things we’re learning. I know it’s not fair, but I don’t want to say something stupid, so
I do nothing.”
Now Yi Han understands. Li Tian isn’t lazy — he just needs help! “From now on,” she says, “I will do my best to help you feel more confident. Then you can do your share, and it will be fair for everyone.” Finally, Li Tian says, “Thank you! I’ll try hard to do my part.”
Yi Han feels happy. She realizes that talking about problems is better than keeping them as secrets. 想一想
你喜欢小组合作吗？
你能做什么来帮你的小组在一起合作的更好？
“好了，同学们。”刘女士说，“到我们进行小组合作的时候了，让我们开始学习吧！”
易涵是一个组的组长。她并不期待和她的小组一起合作，因为一个叫李天的男生总是缺席小组会议。他不遵守规则，并且拒绝做任何作业。这放慢了整个小组的速度。
易涵考虑把这些问题告诉刘女士，但她又不想让李天惹麻烦。相反，她决定和李天谈谈并找出问题所在。她说，“每个人都在为我们的任务努力着。但是到目前为止，你什么都没做，有什么问题吗？” 李天沉默了几秒，但最后说到，“不是我不想在小组中参与，有时我真的弄不懂我们在学什么。我知道这不公平，但我不想说些愚蠢的话，所以我什么都没做。”
现在易涵明白了，李天不是懒，他只是需要帮助！“从现在起，”她说，“我会尽我最大努力帮你提升自信。然后，你就能做你承担的任务了，这对每个人都公平。”最后，李天说，“谢谢，我会努力做好我那部分任务。”
易涵很开心。她意识到把问题说出来比把他们当秘密要好。 Let’s Do It!
