    I'm a bus driver

    今天公交又停服,据说是劳资谈妥了工会要投票,伟大的民主啊。
    下周Writing Retreat,竟然司机还没找到,我只好报了个backup。
    于是想象车都能自动无人驾驶,需要驾驶乐趣了就换手动模式。可转念一想除非有大黄蜂那样的Transformers陪伴,否则一定尽是程式化的旅途,实在可怕。

    国际学生给国际学生们上的第一堂课开始了。由于到了学期末,学校要求每个学生都要完成一个在线问卷,而自主学习中心的老师则要指导学生做这个survey。那个说葡萄牙语的Gerald很不情愿做survey,说选项语言这么难不适合基础班。我于是把Survey比作公交车,初、中、高级班学生是来城市生活时长不等的乘客。高级班学生来得最久熟悉线路站牌上车就找座,初级班最陌生总怕错过站甚至不敢上车。可既然是公共交通,大家当然坐同样的车,不同在于新来的居民可以问司机,而后者会尽最大努力解释并提醒乘客到站下车,而老师就是那个公交车司机。我们来一步一步一项一项一块完成survey,保证人人都能安全到站下车回家。两个沙特学生频频点头,那个哈萨克斯坦的姑娘更是积极提问,最终大家都很配合的听我边讲边填顺利完成任务。其实做问卷本身也是一个实际使用英语交际的好机会,听说读写都有了,虽然它还不是一个教学意义上的任务,比如语言过难,内容过多等等。

    通过填写问卷,我跟学生们就熟悉起来,课前的紧张感也没有了。接下去的教学也顺利开展,两个小时飞一般就过去了。我虽然有些口干,但精神还是很饱满,弄得另外两个老师都看着我笑,说看看你两个月后还有这么足的精神不?哼哼,我是什么人,就喜欢跟学生们混,装嫩这么多年了,耐心是我所长啊,呵呵。不过,这里老师大都是native speaker,我教人家的语言还真是蛮挑战的。可今天有学生说我讲得比某个老师清楚,哦哦哦,偷偷自满一下了。

    不想做厨子的裁缝不是好司机。我要做个好司机。
