欧文的故事

尊敬的各位评委、各位同仁：
早上（或下午）好，我今天要讲的是《欧文的故事》。

欧文，一个非常可爱的男孩。他上英语课非常积极。英语日记也认真写，每次都写的很长，唯一的问题是语言不太好，句子很简单，但是错误却很多。当时觉得：WHO CARES？ 反正我们的交流没有问题。
第二个学期。我跟每个学生进行一次谈话，根据学生的作业，一起分析学生的长处和问题。
一天，欧文带着他所有的作业来了。我们聊了聊，他说很高兴和我用对话日记的形式交流思想，我说，他在语言方面提高很多了。接着，在他后面，进来的是个女生，很自卑，很内向。她坐下后，没等我说话，就开口：我的英语是咱们班最差的，我是湖南的，我们XX老师说，老家来的学生每年都是最差的。我一直在鼓励她：你不差，你写的真的挺好的。你只是不够自信，要更加相信自己。上课多发言，你基础挺不错。说着，我随手拿了前面欧文刚留下的作业，给她看：你看，欧文也是老家转来的。 他上课多积极回答问题呀，但是其实他的基础并不很好。看他写的句子很简单，却也有许多错误。所以，对自己要有信心，这个最重要。她高兴地走了。从此上课回答问题积极了些，对自己也有信心了。
等我再收日记本的时候，发现欧文写了很长的一篇中文日记。他给我讲了个故事，说三年级的时候，语文学的很好，很喜欢语文老师。但是，在一节语文作文公开点评课。让他没有想到的是，他所喜欢的语文老师，竟然把他的作文印了几十份，每个听课老师和每个同学人手一份。老师拿他的作文仔细地分析，课上的很成功，受到听课老师的好评，但是，整个过程中，他自己很想找个地缝钻进去。他自己幼稚但是真诚的语言都变成了老师评判和分析的素材！从此，他恨透了语文老师，也放弃了语文和作文。
看到这，我真的很同情欧文，对那语文老师，我甚至有些气愤。此时，欧文话锋一转，接着写到：老师，你知道我为什么告诉你这个故事吗？他说：您做了和我的语文老师一样的事情！我惊讶！没有啊，我从来没有把他的作业在课堂上讲啊！他说：您对我们班同学说，我的英语很差，我写的东西很简单，还有很多错误。您还给她看了我的作业。我很惊讶！这个怎么让他知道了呢？　
我反思自己，后悔万分，马上在他的日记本上写了一封长长的道歉信。还说了很多次SORRY。他若无其事地说：老师，没事，真的没事。
但是，从此，我却很少再看到过那个日记本。也许他写了，但是再也没有交给过我。其间，我也不止一次地问他， 每次他都说：我不知道怎么写。
又到了新学期， 欧文转去了另一所学校，我也从此再没见到过他。
这件事过去很久了，留给我的印象却很深。我不敢想象这个事情的后果：他是否丧失了学习英语的兴趣？我真诚地希望他能读到这个故事，我也更幻想有一天我能跟他说抱歉，有机会弥补我的过错。我更希望他能遇到更好的老师，重新燃起他对英语的兴趣！
总以为教师是一个永远可以让自己做的更好的职业，所以不怕错误，也不怕做错事，只要下次能做的更好。但是，欧文的故事告诉我，有些错是不可以犯的，因为有可能你将没有机会再去弥补。

The Story of Owen
Good afternoon,judges and visitors:
Today I will introduce you "The Story of Owen".

Owen ,who is a very bright boy,showed great passion in English class.Even though he did not do well in the structure of sentences and made many mistakes,he wrote diary earnestly.He always thought:"Who cares,it does not make difference in communicating with others."
In the second semester,I decided to have a talk with every student and analysed problems they had according to their hand-in homework.
Once,Owen came to me with all his homework.We talked happily.He said that he felt very glad to communicate with me in diary and made great progress in English.The student following him is a self-contemptuous girl,she said sadly:"My English is the worst in class.I come from Hunan province,one of my teacher said that students came from there always did the worst in the past."After that,I comforted and encouraged her gently for a long time:"You're just lacking the confidence.Your basic knowledge is really perfect,what you should do is to be more active in class like Owen.He also comes from your hometown,but he is the opposite to you.Even though he makes a lot of mistakes,he is always active to answer questions in class.What counts is the confidence!"At this very moment,I showed Owen's homework to her.Then she left contently.Later on,she became more active and confident.
The next time I collected the diary,I found Owen write a long diary which told me a story about him.When he was in grade 3 in primary school,he was good at Chinese and liked Chinese teacher very much.However in an open class,the teacher printed his composition and handed them out to everyone.During the class,his analysing and criticizing Owen's childish but sincere words made Owen very sad.He wanted to find a hole to hind himself every moment of this successful open class.From then on,he hated this teacher deeply and gave up Chinese and composition.
After reading that,I felt really sympathetic to him and even a little angry about his teacher.But when I came to the next words,I felt shocked:"Do you know why I tell you this story?Because you have done the same thing!"However,I had never shown his diary in class!"You showed my diary to a girl and told her that I did bad in writing.Just because I made so many mistakes!"I was shocked at once,how did he know that?
I wrote a long letter to him to apologize with great regret and guilt.To my hundreds of "Sorry",he just responsed plainly:"It doesn't matter,I don't care."
From then on,I never received his diary.Maybe he did write ,but was unwilling to hand it to me to assess.Also I asked him several times,every time he would say:"I don't know how to write."
Owen transferred to another school when a new semester came,I never saw him again later on.
It's a long time,but this thing impresses me deeply.I could not imagine the result:Would he lose interest in English after that?I really hope that he can read this story,so I can apologize to him and make up for my mistake.How I wish he could meet a better teacher and become zealous about English again.
I always consider that teaching is a job that can make you do better,so I'm not afraid of making mistakes in that I'm sure I'll do better next time.However,Owen's story gives me a lesson:You'd better not to make some certain kind of mistake,because it's very possible that you'll never have chance to make up for it.
