姓名：鄧穎欣 Name: Tang Wing Yan
任教科目：英文科
Subject(s) taught: English
對這科的看法：
我認為英文科是很有趣的一科，同學們從小就會接觸，但往往亦是許
多同學的噩夢。英文科看似死板，在學校也許比較常接觸的都是重複又
重複的練習，例如閱讀理解和各種文法及句子結構，所以相對其他科目，大家
都比較抗拒英文科。但其實除了在學校學習英文外，學生亦可通過閱讀自己感興趣的
英文書籍以提升英文水平，例如英文漫畫及各種電影改編小說。學習英文不一定要閱
讀冗長的小說，謹記要按照個人的興趣而選擇，只要持之以恆便會發現有所進步。
I reckon that English is an interesting subject. Students have been exposed to English since
childhood, but it can be a nightmare for many students. This subject seems to be rigid and
the exercises at school, for example, the reading comprehension exercises and the grammar
and syntax exercises, often require them to repeat the same task over and over again. Thus,
students feel relatively reluctant to do English exercises. Nevertheless, apart from learning
English at school, students can also enhance their English level by reading books in English
that they are interested in, such as English comic books or English novels adapted from
movies. Instead of reading lengthy and wordy novels, just choose materials based on your
own interests and if you keep on reading, you will see an improvement.
教書的初衷：
或許很多老師都是從小便立志成為一位老師，而我最初萌生要教書的念頭大約是大學
三年級到一間青少年中心實習。那時負責任教中小學生的英文班，他們許多都是來自
社會最基層的家庭，父母都無法教導他們，因此他們不單抗拒英文，更甚是抗拒上
學。在教他們幾星期後，他們找尋到學英文的樂趣。而他們的進步亦改變了我對將來
職業的選擇。所以我希望能夠通過教學協助學生改變對英文科既有的看法。
Why I teach:
While many teachers may decide to be a teacher from an early age, this idea hasn’t taken
root until my internship at a youth center during my junior year at university. At that time,
I was responsible for teaching English to primary and middle school students, most of
whom came from a lower socio-economic background. Their parents could not teach them.
Therefore, not only English is difficult to them; they were even reluctant to go to school.
After teaching them for several weeks, I helped them find the joy of learning English. Their
improvement changed my choice for my future occupation. I hope to assist students to
change their existing ideas regarding English by teaching them.
舒緩壓力的方法：我平常會通過做運動來紓緩工作壓力，例如行山及獨木舟。在假日
期間我更會與朋友到山上露營
Ways to release stress: I usually do sports to reduce work stress, such as climbing mountains
or going boating. I also go camping in the mountains during holidays.
