#英國教育制度連載 #關於英文閱讀與寫作
在英國進入小學就讀之後，學校會非常重視且著重培養孩子的閱讀習慣。也因為幾乎沒有回家作業（公立學校），所以孩子每天都有許多閒暇時間閱讀課外讀物。對他們來說，閱讀不是壓力而是興趣。
很多人會好奇，英國小學對於「英文」這個科目，究竟是如何進行教學？ 其實比起亞洲背單字和文法，這裡更著重的是Reading Comprehension（閱讀理解），就是在看一段詩詞/文章之後回答問題，或是進一步發揮創意，創作出屬於自己的文章/故事。
所以，從小培養閱讀習慣真的很重要！這不僅影響到閱讀理解，也和寫作、創意與字彙量息息相關。Q姐從四歲多學會了自然發音之後，就開始自行閱讀，不用我在旁邊陪讀。至今她九歲了，她每天都至少會讀一本小說，閱讀習慣已經養成。也因為她喜愛看書，所以從書中累積了不少字彙量和寫作用語。
昨天的遠距教學內容，老師讓她們看了一段人類過度開發雨林而導致紅毛猩猩無家可歸的影片，讓孩子嘗試從紅毛猩猩寶寶的角度，創作一段文章。而Q姐每次只要一遇上寫作，就會文思泉湧、寫到停不下來，一頁不夠還要換下一頁。我看到她的創作後也相當驚艷！
DDC看完後表示：
「奇怪，以前我們考作文的時候，都要字體故意寫很大，最後一行還會用一個句點來佔字數。 怎麼可能寫這麼多？」
唉，是說人無法十項全能。這位先生，還是專心當理工阿宅就好了吧！
最後，就來欣賞一下Q的寫作吧！看完後覺得鼻酸酸。（如果大家喜歡Q的創作，以後我再來多分享一些）
【Lost Rainforest, Lost Home】
As the sun smiled with pride, my mother and I swung gracefully from tree to tree. The canopy kept us cool and it was just the right weather for us to go out, play with our friends and maybe pick some delicious oranges. High up in the trees, I could hear an orchestra of birds singing among the trees. It was a beautiful sight.
At the darkest hour, horrible beasts came to destroy our lovely home. Callosal trucks came charging along the rainforest, destroying everything in its path. Many animals were massacred. Even though the sky was as dark as coal, it was easy to see the flashing red lights and the enormous metal. It was a terrifying sight.
Not even opening her mouth, my mother grabbed my hand desperately, dragging me to the top of the highest tree we could see. As quick as our tired legs and arms could carry us, we climbed the tall tree. With no time to say anything, she used her expressions to tell me to keep going up. I understood perfectly. The monster’s claws grabbed her by hand and she was gone. She was lost. She was no longer there.
Slowly, I opened my eyes to see a different home. There were no longer green trees, songbirds singing, sun shining; there was nothing. The colour of the lovely rainforest had turned dull and grey. Silence filled the air. I had no one to play with me, no one to talk with me, and worst of all, no one to take care of me. Hope was lost, and nothing will ever be the same.
