Unit 1 A Time to Remember
Lesson 1 Talking about Childhood Memories
Do you miss being a child? What do you miss most?
“Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons.”
Where were you born and grew up?
E.g. I was born in Boston. But my family moved to Los Angeles when I was six. I grew up there.
Were you a good student in elementary school? What were your best subjects? And what subjects didn’t you like?
E.g. Overall I was a good student but there were times I would slack off. I was really good at Math…
Did you have a favorite teacher? If not, did you have a teacher that you didn’t like?
E.g. I suppose that Mr. Torres, my fifth grade teacher, would be my favorite. His class was the best of the day, and he always made us laugh.
What games or sports did you use to play?
还有其他几个游戏： hopscotch [ˈhɑ:pskɑ:tʃ] 跳房子
playing marbles [ˈmɑ:rbl] 弹珠
kicking shuttlecock [ˈʃʌtlkɑ:k] 踢毽子
reading picture-story 看小人书
Do you still remember your playmates? 英[ˈpleɪmeɪt]美[ˈpleˌmet] 英语和美语的音标长的都不一样。
Could you tell me something about them?
E.g. My best playmate was a lovely girl named… We lived in the same neighhood…
这个老师特别有意思，我们谈到小时候做的很笨但是很搞笑的事情，他说会尿裤子。
我说玩弹珠的时候把弹珠放进鼻孔里。他笑得很厉害，还画了一个小熊送给我。
生活感悟：
谈到难忘的时刻，有一次投篮的时候，三分线外，用了很大力气投篮，竟然投中了，非常开心。
谈到下的决定时，我想了很久，有没有重要的决定呢？高考选大学专业算是吧。也许，生女儿时，医生说我的情况特殊让我剖腹产，而我却决定自然生产，也是一个重要的决定吧。那时候战胜了痛和恐惧，坚持了自己的选择，难产，那么深刻的痛，现在看来都风轻云淡了。
我们应该有很多开心难忘的时刻，好像我的记忆力真的不太好了呢，忘记了很多事情，或者表达能力不够，无法表述出难忘的片段，但是，我想那时候发生时真的很感动，或者很痛。正如今天的标题，功不唐捐，每次的努力都不会白费，而生命中的每个片段都是宝贵的记忆。
活在当下意味着什么呢？享受每个当下，而不去回忆吗？人为什么会回忆，可能是回忆太幸福，或当下不够幸福吧。
