It is fun to visit a senior high school. On a sunny Wednesday morning, a young guy emerges with a shy smile from the stairway clutching a bag of his favorite (I guess) cartoon character, Naruto Ninja. A senior high school student and his naruto ninja. That’s what it has come to in teenage boys. A decade of curtain falling has taken its toll, and I wonder how deep the generation gap is between these young guys and me.
Lishan senior high school has everything you would expect: elegant environment, beautiful campus with
mountain view, and energetic students and teachers. When in the break time, the students can relax in the tea lounge, bask on the sun terrace or pad around the artistic garden. The real point of difference, though, is the enthusiastic and friendly teachers.
I am very impressed by their interesting English textbook which reminds me of my boring high school English class. The lesson of the first class I visit is about mythology and it is what makes me feel surprised. In my opinion, it is a good time to give high school students a chance to approach western literature which is grounded by ancient Roman and Greek mythology. The teacher in this class really did a good job in that day because she paid attention to the reaction of students giving students overall practice, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Besides, she can handle the whole class well and never leave a gap to make students distracted.
It is useful and fun to visit English class. We can learn a lot from experienced teacher and polish our skill to be a better one in the future.
