Today's key word is Karate
Karate k-a-r-a-t-e
空手道
Karate is a Japanese sport or way of fighting in which people fight using their hands, elbows(手肘), feet, and legs.
Here is an example:
He is a black belt in karate.
他是空手道黑帶。
今天講的這個小男孩還沒有拿到黑帶。One day, in a Karate class, a student trys to break a board(木板) during a test.
但是厚厚的木板很難擊破。The student starts to cry.
His teacher notices his frustration(挫折) and encourages(鼓勵) him to channel that frustration in breaking the board.
他一直沒有成功,還在哭泣。老師并沒有說任何指責的話。
Instead, he stops the class to talk through what he is feeling.
The boy told his teacher that it is so hard to punch by using his left hand.
聽到這里,老師特別耐心溫柔跟他講了一些可能會讓他收益終身的話。
我們一起來聽一下吧:
“soundbite”
能遇到這么好的老師真是好幸福啊。
We are humans and it's okay to cry, but never give up when facing adversity(逆境).
你有沒有類似的經歷呢?你有沒有對哪位老師特別感激和感恩呢?
