I want to talk about our chemistry teacher Our chemistry teacher is a Chinese American,but he born and raised in America. He is over fifty years old and may be it is one of the reasons that cause the problem which I am going to talk about. I admit he is really a serious person and I really appreciate his attitude toward life. But the only point that I can’t understand him is that he is too stubborn. For example, Chinese education always pays more attention to the theory rather than practice, hence we hardly use the lab during the first year in high school. But our chemistry teacher believes we should always go to the lab and do the experiments ourselves. Certainly, most of us agreed with him. However, when he asked the school for lab, our school didn’t respond him immediately. So he asked us that what we should do now? He didn’t get the prompt response form the school but we need to do the experiment tomorrow. Eventually, he decided to put a long desk in front of the restroom for the lab equipment because we can get the water any time we want. To be honest, it shocked us. Our assistant tried to persuade him to change the place but he didn’t take her advice. Ok, may be he doesn’t know how funny when we do a lab in front of the restroom! Fortunately, finally we get the permission to use the lab. May be I have not adapted to an American-based style of education. In Chapter one, our chemistry teacher just let us read the text book ourselves, do the assignments as well as the homework correction alone. I think the self-learning ability of Chinese students is often poor than students in America, because Chinese teachers always use the hands-on approach to help students study. Sometimes we really need more information form our teachers. All in all, I really wish our chemistry teacher can combine the American teaching methods with the Chinese national conditions, we need more time to accept it!

Your teacher is using the hands-on approach to learning chemistry when he insists on the integration of lab with theory. A portion of your brain will appreciate seeing theory work in real life. Your teacher was making an important point in setting up the lab in front of the restroom, namely, that, if there is a will, then there is a way.

学校怎么可能没有实验室,我们那时候中学一幢楼都是实验室。
