最震撼的一課---美國教室。(English Version below)
星期六早上的芭蕾課在接近尾聲的時候,老師要大家分組一起旋轉、跳躍,以優雅的舞姿穿越教室。一組接著一組,跟著優美的古典樂拍子,無論如何都要面帶笑容、華麗向前。課堂上充滿了各式各樣的學生,8歲金髮女孩、10歲中國裔女孩、12歲南亞裔女孩、23歲韓國女孩、27歲非裔女孩、29歲台妹我本人、35歲金髮男同學、40歲紅髮氣質辣媽、開心慈祥的老太太...等。而老師被稱為「派翠莎女士」則是我所見過學識最淵博、身體超菁壯、經驗特豐富、非常戲劇化、不可思議的幽默、又超級愛八卦的一位六十幾歲金髮女人,習舞超過50年,每天堅持教課六∼八小時。
在最後一組轉圈的時候,那位紅髮辣媽一時失去平衡而跌坐在地,撞出了很大的碰地一聲。她臉紅的攤攤手、難為情的一笑,擺出無可奈何的表情。而我則是立刻別過頭去,不好意思和她對到眼,因為不確定該用什麼樣的表情反應。
這時老師邊搓著雙手、邊喜孜孜地走過來對著她菁英技巧班的女孩們叫道:女孩們,在我們高級技巧班上要是有同學跌倒了我們該怎麼做呢?
這時所有年紀低於16的女孩們一起開心的拍手鼓舞起來,投以愛慕的眼光。
派翠莎女士:沒錯! 我們要拍手叫好,大家一起來! 鼓掌!!
全場一起對著那位跌倒又站起來了的辣媽微笑拍手。
派翠莎女士接著:然後這個時候呢,老師會走到其他女孩們前面,對著著他們說...
邊走邊演,對著班上最努力、最進階的一位美麗女孩,並指著辣媽說:她試過了。她勇於嘗試,冒著可能會摔倒的風險,嘗試更難的動作,為了變得更好、追求進步。
再指著其他的女孩們, 一個個問道: 你們為什麼都不去摔倒? 為什麼不去嘗試? 為什麼不敢冒險? 大家都應該向她學習,我們一起謝謝她這麼認真!
我差點淚崩。
瞬間明白了那些美國同學們臉上一直以來有的那種自信的表情從何而來。那種不管別人眼光、不怕摔倒、不怕失敗、只一心追求自己當下的努力足不足夠的每一個時刻,因為只有自己的努力是重要的,其他什麼都不值得花心思考慮。摔倒表示你在嘗試,嘗試表示你離進步更近,而感到舒服並不會讓你往前任何一點。
我好希望我小時候摔倒的時候有人這樣激勵我,並把它當成一個好的教育機會,讓大家一起更勇於嘗試。不過一切都還不遲,這是我來美國三年學到最震撼的一課。對了,再過兩天就三週年了。只想和大家分享一下,就這樣。

The most shocking lesson - the American classroom.
At the end of the ballet class on Saturday morning, the teacher asked everyone to spin, jump, and dance through the classroom elegantly. One group after another, following the beautiful classical music tempo, no matter what happens, always smiling, and looking fabulous. The class is full of all kinds of students, 8 year old blonde girl, 10 year old Chinese american girl, 12 year old South Asian american girl, 23 year old Korean girl, 27 year old African american girl, 29 year old Taiwanese moi, 35 years old blonde male classmate, 40-year-oldish red-haired temperament hot mom, happy ladies in their fifties ...etc. The teacher is called "Ms. Patricia", who is a sixty-something blonde, the most knowledgeable woman I have seen with super-strong body, the most experienced in teaching, very dramatic, incredibly humorous, and girl, she loves to gossip. She has also been practicing ballet for more than 50 years, and insisting on teaching for six to eight hours a day.
While the very last group was finishing up their turns, the red-haired hot mom lost her balance and fell to the floor, making a bump. She blushed, and smiled a little embarrassed, making this "Voila" gesture, and then stood up. On the other hand I felt a little embarrassed for her, so I smiled nervously and soon turned my head away because I wasn't sure what kind of expression I should've been reacting.
At this time, the teacher walked over, rubbing her both hands together, looking entertained and glanced at the girls in her elite class. She shouted: Girls, what do we do when someone falls in our tech class?
All the girls under the age of 16 started to clap their hands and show genuine admiration.
Ms. Patricia: That's right! We clap! Everyone come together! Applaud!!
The audience applauded and cheered for the hot mom who stood up after she fell.
Ms. Patricia went on: Usually at this time, the teacher will go to the other girls and say...
Acting while walking over to a beautiful girl who is the most advanced in the class, and pointed to the hot mom and said: she tried. She dared to try, risking the possibility of falling, trying harder moves, in order to become better and making more progress.
Then she pointed to other girls, one by one, asking: Why don't you fall? Why don't you try? Why not taking risks? Everyone should learn from her, and we thank her for trying so hard!
I almost burst into tears.
I instantly understood where the confident expressions that have always been on the faces of American classmates came from. Every single moment, doesn't matter what other people think, do not be afraid of falling, not afraid of failure, and only try to focus on this moment of effort, are you doing enough? Because only your effort is important, and nothing else is worth worrying. Falling means you are trying, trying means that you are closer to progress, and feeling comfortable doesn't let you go any further.
I wished that someone had said something like this to motivate me when I was a child who fell hard and using it as a good educational opportunity to encourage everyone else to try. But nothing is ever too late, this is the most shocking lesson (in the best way) I have learned in the United States after almost three years. By the way, in the next couple of days it'd be three years since I moved from home.
Just wanted to share with you, this.

蕭愷一:10大最爛英文學習法
【明報專訊】蕭叔叔成日講應該點樣學外語,學英文,好多時都係有感而發,看到好多同學誤走歧途,花好多時間精力,英文卻越講越爛,越寫越怪。蕭叔叔看過十大最差,最counterproductive的英文學習法,不得不叫大家引以為戒。
1. 背單詞
市面上好興什麼500必讀單詞,什麼讀了1000個單字就能流利說英文的教材。蕭叔叔得罪講句,英文唔係咁學的,語言唔係咁學的。學字學句,不能in isolation,completely out of context的學。即使背了字義,背了例句,真正要用時,其實未必用得出。要學,就應該在閱讀或對話或看劇遇到新字新句時查字典或問人,要記住該字所出現的context是什麼,例如什麼人對什麼人,在什麼情況下用什麼語氣要表達什麼意思,會怎樣用某個字或某句。把所有有關資料都記下來,這樣才是學字的正確方法。
2. 背字典
把字典倒背如流,自然是個創舉,但對學英文幫助不大,原因如上。Out of context學的字,很大機會會用錯。當然,例句充足,解釋詳盡的好字典,是學語言的最佳學習工具。
3. 背同義詞表
同義詞辭典是很好的學習工具,但千萬別用錯。同義詞辭典,是用來remind you of words that you already know,而不是學新字的工具。有時候蕭叔叔見到坊間不少補習老師愛給學生lists of words that are supposed to be synonymous,要求學生用完一個,下一句就要用另外一個,講求「用字多變」,卻不求甚解,蕭叔叔最怕。就是那些sad等於depressed等於dejected等於heartbroken等於mournful等於bereaved等於despairing等於distressed那些。須知道英文好玩之處在於字詞多變,在不同場合,要表達非常subtle的分別,要用不同的字。例如bereaved是死人時才用的,亂用來取代list內其他的字,會鬧笑話。那不是說同義詞典不好,而是要用得其法,假如你本身已懂某字,卻一時三刻想不起來,這時候同義詞辭典會好有用。但記著,學字,一定要in context地學。
4. 狂做厚厚的grammar練習
好多香港人,尤其是老一輩的,都喜歡厚厚的grammar練習,花好多時間做,做得全對了,就很有成功感。其實學grammar同學字一樣,都要in context地學。篇幅所限,grammar書不能把所有某一個grammar structure的用法和含意都一一細列,要學得文法上非常subtle的地方,還是要靠多聽多分析,遇到問題時再查grammar的reference books如Oxford University Press出版,學者Michael Swan寫的Practical English Usage,這樣多學,再多看多聽,多分析,然後練寫同講,先係學grammar的正確方法。
5. 讀多D英文
上一輩嘅人常說,睇多D英文,每日睇報紙,英文就會寫得好,那是大錯。多聽人唱歌,不等於自己就會唱得好;多看英超,也不等於識得落場踢波。閱讀是一樣。要寫英文寫得好,沒錯,是一定要多讀,那是個necessary condition,但by no means sufficient。想寫得好,還要仔細分析,慢慢嘴嚼,多問自己點解呢段呢句要咁寫,然後盡量在練寫時應用從閱讀學來的東西;就像練打籃球,不要只打開電視看NBA,還要選最喜歡的球員,把他的精華片段錄下來,慢慢重播,甚至慢鏡分析,meticulously study球員的步法、手勢、站位、眼神,再每天落街場嘗試應用新學的招式,這樣球技才會進步。只靠「睇多D NBA」,等同「讀多D英文」,唔會令你進步。
6. 聽多D英文
多看電視,多聽電台,就會識得講?大錯,道理同上,多聽人唱歌不等於自己識得唱,多看人演戲不等於自己懂得演戲,還要自己分析,練習,不贅了。
7. 聽歌學講英文
蕭叔叔也喜歡聽歌,但聽英文歌,contrary to what many believe,對學英文幫助不大。歌詞的詞序、選字好多時候會因應歌曲節奏和押韻的考慮而同平時日常生活所講不同,歌詞練得熟,對日常對話沒有什麼幫助。Where English songs do help是引起對學英文的興趣,還有提高對英文節奏感和發音的領悟。
8. 專心上英文堂
老實說,雖然蕭叔叔也算是個英文老師,但我成日聽同人講,上英文堂,不論是學校的,補習社的,還是出面其他教學機構的,用處不是太大。我最喜歡跟學生講:You are your best language teacher。學外語,還是靠自己勤力練習有效得多。那老師的功用是什麼?我覺得是raise學生的language awareness,令他們留意到外語跟自己母語在文法上,發音上有什麼不同之處,然後學生最後能否acquire外語的那些features,還是靠學生自己平時努力。
9. 大聲讀報紙
假如你本身未學好英文發音節奏,每天找英文報紙大聲朗讀,對咬字發音沒有幫助。It will only reinforce your mistakes and make them harder to eradicate in the future。正確做法,想練好聽講,是找錄音練,你對時事有興趣,最好找同時有文字有聲音的材料,慢慢分析發音,節奏,這樣才會進步。蕭叔叔見過太多學生,在學好基本功之前太用心練,以致hypercorrection問題甚多,要糾正就麻煩。
10. 每天花一小時學英文
想學好英文,you’ve got to immerse yourself completely in the language. 不要只靠每天抽一兩小時出來練,要try and live in English。當然要努力學習,但學習之餘,還要令自己時時刻刻接觸的,都是英文:讀英文報、看英文網、煲英文劇、寫英文日記或essay、多同English speaking的同事朋友吹水、總之live as if you’re an English speaker, and soon you will become one. 加油。
