“放學放假了”(School is dismissed)的英語口語訓練
上過初中語文課的學生都應該學過法國作家都德(Daudet)的著名短篇小說：The Last Lesson(最後一課)。
應該都還記得課文最後一段話是這麼寫的：放學了，你們可以走了。
當然，那時我們讀的是中文版的。
在“互聯網+”時代，我們輕鬆有機會讀到它的英語“原文”(真正原文是法語)。
The Last Lesson by Alphonse Daudet
He wrote as large as he could: “Vive La France!”
Then he stopped and leaned his head against the wall, and, without a word, he made a gesture to us with his hand: “School is dismissed—you may go.”
這讓我們在聽慣了中國英語老師課堂最常用的那句“順口溜”(Class is over)之後有了一個“新”的表達：School is dismissed.
我們做“英語之外有英語：Put English into English口語訓練”：
1. Class is over(這句話的(英語)意思是什麼啊？)
-Well,when we say Class is over,we can also say：School is dismissed.
-That means：You can have a break.You can leave the school and go home.
你需要強迫自己“能說”這些英語來記Class is over/School is dismissed，而不是隻會“說”中文：下課/放學。
2. School is out
-School is out means that classes are over for now.
-We could say School is out：at the end of the school day, on the beginning of the weekend, or when school vacations begin.
-School is out means that the school is shut for the holidays and the children are out of the school.
你現在最需要的，是用英語表達(Class is over,School is dismissed,School is out)來做用英語記英語並通過它們增強自己這方面的英語語言能力，而不是隻求記住它們的中文意思(然後假設自己有機會用上這些英語。你基本沒有機會用的)
