【老外说】是一档以“采访”老外为主的节目，帮助大家更好的了解中西文化差异，一窥英国人、美国人日常生活。每周一更新。本栏目适合精听/泛听。可做听写练习。
今天我们请到了一位在中国教小朋友的美国外教，让我们一起听听他是用什么样的方法，让小朋友一节课45分钟都能跟着他的思路走的吧！

Iactuallywonderhowforeignpeopleteachlessonsandhowyoudoitbecauseobviouslyyouarequiteagoodteacher,Icantell*.
*tell=toknow,seeorjudgesthcorrectly确切地判断
e.g.AsfarasIcantell,she'senjoyingthecourse.据我判断，她喜欢这门课程。
Playingtheclasslikeanorchestra(管弦乐队)andyouarethecomposer(作曲家，其实感觉这个地方把老师比喻成“conductor指挥家”更合适呢).That'showyouwanttomanageanychildren'sclass.
“red,orange,yellow,green,blue,purple”*
*这是一首英文的儿童歌曲，名叫“TheRainbowSong”
Soit'skeepingtheflowgoing*foraslongasyourclasslast.
*让课程不间断地进行下去。以前我们还学过“gowiththeflow”，你还记得是什么意思吗？
Sohaveyourcurriculumready.
Theyalwayshavetobedoingsomething,andtheycan'tbedoingthesamethingfortoolongunlesstheyjustfallintoit.Sometimesyou'llbeteachingkidsvocabularywithflashcards(闪卡)andjustthatdaythey'llbereallyinto*flashcards.
*beintosth对...十分感兴趣；很喜欢
e.g.Heisintosurfingabigway.他很喜欢冲浪。
Ifthey'reengaged,they'relearningmuchfasterthanifthey'renotinterestedintheactivity.
engaged不光是订婚的意思哟，
beengagedinsth=bebusydoingsth
e.g.Theywereengagedinconversation.他们正谈得起劲。

Whateverhesays,'goodjob'andherunstothebackoftheline.
go这个动词我们很熟悉了，但是这里面这个用法，你注意到了吗？go+speech是“说”的意思，尤其是在叙述一个故事的时候，一个人说啥，另一个人说啥，通常会用到go哦。
e.g.
Iask'Howmuch'andhegoes,'Fifty'andIgo,'Fiftyyoumustbejoking!'
Youjustmakeitalittlebitinteractivebutstillprettybasic.Youdon'twanttogetmorefancythanthat.Anythingmorecomplicated,thekidsaregonnagetconfused,anditsucks.Justkeepitsimple.

actsthout将...表演出来
e.g.Thechildrenstartedtoactoutthewholeincident.孩子们开始表演整个事件。
catchon(tosth)=tounderstandsth
e.g.Heisveryquicktocatchontothings.他领悟能力很强。

Idobeanbagwhereyouhaveaping-pongballorstuffedanimalsarebetterlikeastuffedrabbitorsomethinglikethat.
beanbag扔豆子袋的游戏，这里面老外把豆子袋换成了小兔子填充玩具，玩具塞给谁，谁就回答问题。答对了的得分，错了扣分。
Sothat'saregularforty-fiveminuteclass.Butafteryoudothatforafewmonths,it'slikebutteritsoeasyonceyou'refamiliarwithacurriculum.
butter是黄油的意思，但是这里，就像后面解释的，是“轻而易举，毫无困难”的意思，完整的说法是，likea(hot)knifethroughbutter，刀子切黄油？可不是轻而易举嘛！

他觉得，送小礼物也不是不可以，可以买一些便宜的彩色球、橡皮、铅笔、马克笔等等，每节课最后给小奖励。
Iconstantlyhadtheparentsbelike‘oh,hedoesn'tneedthis.Youdon'thavetogivehimthat'.Iwaslike,'no,it'sfine.Hegotfivepointstoday.Youhaveanotherpencil'.
like，又是我们熟悉的一个词，在这个语境之下，有没有想到前文的某个词可以替换它呢？对啦！就是“go”了！
sb.belike谁谁谁说
e.g.AndthenI'mlike'Noway!'接着我说“没门儿！”

不管是娃爸娃妈，还是在职的老师们、潜在的老师们，
