Anne flower * 美国老师： ????上课铃响了，孩子们跑进教室，这节课老师要讲的是《灰姑娘》的故事。 ????老师先请一个孩子上台给同学讲一讲这个故事。孩子很快讲完了，老师对他表示了感谢，然后开始向全班提问。 ????老师：你们喜欢故事里面的哪一个？不喜欢哪一个？为什么？ ????学生：喜欢辛黛瑞拉（灰姑娘），还有王子，不喜欢她的后妈和后妈带来的姐姐。辛黛瑞拉善良、可爱、漂亮。后妈和姐姐对辛黛瑞拉不好。 ????老师：如果在午夜 12点的时候，辛黛瑞拉没有来得及跳上她的南瓜马车，你们想一想，可能会出现什么情况？ ????学生：辛黛瑞拉会变成原来脏脏的样子，穿著破旧的衣服。哎呀，那就惨啦。 ????老师：所以，你们一定要做一个守时的人，不然就可能给自己带来麻烦。另外，你们看，你们每个人平时都打扮得漂漂亮亮的，千万不要突然邋里邋遢地出现在别人面前，不然你们的朋友要吓着了。女孩子们，你们更要注意，将来你们长大和男孩子约会，要是你不注意，被你的男朋友看到你很难看的样子,他们可能吓昏了。 中国老师： ????上课铃响，学生，老师进教室。 ????老师：今天上课，我们讲灰姑娘的故事。大家都预习了吗？ ????学生：这还要预习？老得掉渣了
