现在这边的teenager都很迷一系列书叫<the hunger games>一共有三本, 我来了一周以后听朋友推荐就花了两天看完了三本！好好看呢！第一部都出电影了刚刚上映！我喜欢看小说, 喜欢stephen king的一系列书！我也喜欢twilight一系列. 作家的名字我都不记的嘿嘿, 但是老妈在网上抄了一些, 我还没看, 哪天让她发出来给你们看叭！
我们现在上课正站在学shakespeare的<a midsummer night's dream>.
牛

<The Hunger Games>在国内也很红啊，我孩子班上读完三本原版的同学不少，原来我还想着六年级的孩子读这个是不是太血腥了点，看来是多虑了。

据我知道，牛儿这学期的英语课就学了上面清单中两本书就是 To kill a mocking bird 《杀死一只知更鸟》 Flowers of Algernon《献给阿尔吉农的花束》,都是整本阅读，要求写paragraph 小作文 和essay大作文的。她的英语老师很好玩，从来不给他们考试，只是写作，期末成绩就是每篇作文的总评分。牛儿平均得了八十四分，B。

牛儿最近读了三本书：The Red Pony小红马（国内翻译其电影名叫《春晓大地》 美国的诺贝尔文学奖得主约翰 斯坦贝克作品（我给的读书清单中有一篇也是他的作品 Of mice and men 人鼠之间)；

The Lord of Flies 蝇王 威廉戈尔丁也是诺贝尔文学奖得主作品;

另外一本是近年的畅销书 The Kite Runner《放风筝的人》。我几年前也看过中文版，但已经老痴到忘记大部分情节了！牛儿读完后跟我讲到有些地方会难过的哭着讲不下去。

老师会要求每天阅读几章，有时甚至上百页，然后写出response，或者分析人物之间关系，或者对文中角色特征的分析。没有标准答案，没有段落大意中心思想，老师也不会给你一个条条框框让你去依葫芦画瓢，只要你自己的思考，只要能把你个人的观点和论点说清楚讲明白，老师就认为是好文章，会给你高分。牛儿有两三篇的得分是9分（满分10分）。

我认为这个“语文课”是上得最有价值最有意义的课。如果藉此能让牛儿阅读经典，爱上阅读，养成独立思考的能力和习惯，我就觉得让她来加拿大读书是值得的。

呵呵，没想到这么老的帖子被翻出来了。不好意思，各种懒各种借口，没有继续写下去。从登陆到现在，快两年了，给各位汇报下孩子的近况：
牛儿已经上十一年级了，明年九月十二年级啊，后年就该高中毕业了。
总体学习成绩Ａ，但平均分不算突出，挨边儿九十这样。这个还需要努力，因为据说ＵＢＣ，ＳＦＵ这些大学的录取分数很多都在九十二分以上。
英文水平大幅提高，口语水品基本本地化了，但阅读和写作仍然不算好，所以给她加了周末的一堂课外阅读写作课。英语阅读实在是太重要了！！！！
体育活动丰富。今年上半年获得了north delta，upper fraser valley，faraser valley（最后这个是其他几个区的前八名集中起来比赛）中学生女子羽毛球（ｊｕｎｉｏｒ组）单打冠军和混双亚军。争取今年能成为校队的教练，这样就算她的ｓｏｃｉａｌ　ａｃｔｉｖｉｔｉｅｓ了。羽毛球最厉害的地区是在列治文和温哥华。打羽毛球的球员百分之九十都是华裔。
参加了学校的女子橄榄球队，成为进步最大球员（其实她是新队员了）; 参加BRITLIONS 女子橄榄球俱乐部（也是中学生队员，是她们队里的绝对主力之一，唯一华裔队员。
入选了学校senior girls 篮球队，目前还没打上主力，是队里唯一华裔队员。
关于她是唯一华裔队员这点，考虑到我们是在ｎｏｒｔｈ　ｄｅｌｔａ区，相对华人少些，无法跟温哥华列治文比较，所以只算碰巧了。
