A Judo Class
(1) Main characters: teacher and five students.


























(2) Not long ago, A major quake struck a remote mountain. People migrated away from the village. Still, some family stayed there.






(3) One year, a teacher came here to teach at the elementary school. He would work for a short year. His class had only five students.








(4) On the very first day, teacher entered the classroom. He said to himself with surprise, "where are my students?"








(5) Students hid themselves in the cabinet. The teacher couldn’t notice them. Students showed up and laughed at the other end.






(6) During the lunch break nap, naughty students dropped roaches into teacher’s back when he was sleeping. Teacher was irritated.








(7) Students had no interest on study. They didn’t want to learn anything. Teacher worried very much.






(8) Students made big noises from time to time. Teacher had to confront with them.

(12) Students finally felt drills were not funny any more. They wanted to quit.






(13) Teacher said,” if you don’t practice judo, you should finish homework instead.” They needed to choose one between judo and study.







(14) Students chose to study. They realized reading was easier than practicing judo. They would be quiet and study from then on.

(16) Teacher said, “when there is a will, there is a way.” They couldn’t believe they won the final contest. The victory was sweet and anything deserved it after all.

先把自編故事分成16~18節 。
飛天掃把"The Speeding Broom"










(1)Main characters:
Witch
Flower the cat
East the mouse
King of ants






(2)Long ago, there lived an old witch.
She liked to fly a broom.








(3)She had a speeding broom.
She remembered she had won the speeding contest last year.
“I have to win it again this year,” she said.








(4)One day, she took out the broom and tried to fly the broom.
“I must forget the secret of the broom.”
The broom couldn’t even move.











(5)She looked over the cave.
“Where is my magic book?” she said to Flower, her cat.
Flower the cat showed up immediately.







(6)Last time, Flower was punished with no food for three days.
This time, he responded and reacted much quicker.
He said, “I wonder East the mouse might steal it“








(7)“Then, let’s go find him. I am going to drown him in a cage.”
The witch and Flower the cat met an elephant on the way.
Elephant told them,
“East the mouse is playing by the river.”









(8)The next, witch and Flower met a wolf.
“Wolf, have you seen East the mouse?”
“Yes, he is playing by the river,” wolf said.










(9)The third, witch and Flower met a rabbit.
“Rabbit, have you seen East the mouse?”
“Yes, he is playing by the river,” rabbit said.








(10)They finally came down to the river and saw the river was flooded.
Yesterday a heavy rain fell hard.
Flower the cat yelled in a hurry, “Oh, no. Something float in the middle of the river.”









(11)The witch gave a spell in no time. There up in the air, a bird suddenly became an eagle and saved East the mouse from the river.










(12)The witch asked unhappily, “you, the pity East, did you steal my magic book?”
“No, of course not.”
“But I saw some ants walking around the cave yesterday.”









(13)The witch hurried back to the cave, and found the magic book stayed nearby. It seemed there were something underneath. Some ants were pressed down by the magic book. The witch picked up the magic book and saved those ants alive.









(14)The king of ants said, “Sorry, Highness the witch, we are deeply sorry to steal the magic book. We just try to make more apples on the tree. Somehow, the book became heavier and pressed down all of us.”










(15)The witch said, “OK, you are all punished already, I don’t want to hurt you. Go to work, and don’t be lazy.”










(16) The old witch examined the magic book why her broom couldn’t fly. Oh, it was because she forgot to add in gasoline. The broom ran out of gasoline.












(17)The witch asked Flower to buy some gasoline. Flower brought back gasoline 98 octane unlead. The broom then groaned and shaked. It seemed there was no way to stop it.









(18)Last year, the witch won the contest with gasoline 95 octane unlead. This year, she applied with gasoline 98. Did anyone guess right who would win this contest?

兒童有聲書

一般的有聲書,對國小兒童而言,大多太難了。如果到書局買的話,有聲繪本書又太貴,只能到圖書館去借。借的書很快就到期,沒有老師指導,小朋友到圖書館幾乎都挑中文書。找了很久的網站,終於看到一個,先放在這兒給大家瀏覽

第一篇 Ants Are Marching(似乎可以讓小朋友背背看)

Ants are marching down the hall,
on the carpet, up the wall.
'Round the corner, there they go,
marching, marching in a row.
Turning left and turning right,
zigzag-marching--what a sight!

Single file above your bed,
on the ceiling overhead.
Hup, two, three, four, they don't fall.
Now they're marching down the wall.
Here they come across the sheet,
marching, marching on your feet.

'Round your ankle to your knee,
marching, marching happily.
Down your arm and off your thumb,
marching toward some yummy crumbs.
Now you know why Mama said,
"Don't eat cookies in your bed!"

坦克在棒棒堂淘汰賽唱的歌 Anyone of us by Gareth Gates
歌詞:
I've been letting you down, down
Girl I know I've been such a fool
Giving in to temptation
I should've played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand

Chorus

It can happen to
Anyone of us, anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
'Cause I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to
Anyone of us, say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take my heart will break
'Cause I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake

少年魔法師Selena Gomez的新歌"If Cupid had a heart"

(#1) If Cupid had a heart, he would make you fall
You'd fall in love with me in no time at all
If Cupid had a heart, he would hear my call
I want him to know -- I'm wanting you so
如果邱比特有一顆心,他會讓你墜落
讓你馬上墜落在我的愛河
如果邱比特有一顆心,他會聽到我的吶喊
我要他知道,我如此的需要你
Isn't it crazy -- I'm crazy for you
Temp'rature rising -- and losing my cool
Only one problem -- To you, I'm a friend
How do I tell you -- You're my perfect ten
是否很瘋狂?我對你是如此的瘋狂
溫度昇起,我失去冷靜
只有一個問題,對你來說我還只是個普通朋友
我要如何開口?你是我的白馬王子
I have searched the skies above
Even tried the god of love
But he's yet to hook me up with you
我找遍天空,也嘗試求助愛神
但他還等著把你和我鉤在一起

(#2) If Cupid had a heart, he would surely throw
An arrow through your soul, Ready aim and go
If Cupid had a heart, you'd be mine I know
I need you to see I need you with me
如果邱比特有一顆心,他會射出愛箭
穿過你的心,準備 瞄 射出
如果邱比特有一顆心,我知道你是我的了
我要你看著,我要你跟我在一起
Can't ya see boy, or are you so blind
Ever since day one, it's you on my mind
In a week moment, I lost my defenses
Ever since you boy, I found all my senses
男孩,你看不到嗎?或你眼瞎了
從認識的第一天,你就留在我心底
短短的一周,我已無法防制
從那時起,男孩,我已有了感覺
One way love can take a ride
Say you want me by your side
Night and day and night I think of you
單戀也可以上路
說,你要我陪在你的身邊
從早到晚我會想著你

I could be so good for you
I could be your heaven, too --
If we'd only cross the line
Where I'm yours and you are mine.
I would love you all the way
For forever and a day
Don't ya know, woh oo woh
我可能善待你
我可能是你的樂園
萬一我們跨越界線
那是你我不分
我將一直愛著你
永遠和每一天
