考点规范练36(选修6 Module 6) 考点规范练第72页 .阅读理解 A My most powerful memories of Remembrance Day in the past have always been the ones where the teachers let the veterans do the talking. It can be a little tough to get our kids,especially the younger ones,interested in the meaning behind Remembrance Day.This is why I think it’s important for schools across Canada to invite our veterans to actually come and speak to their students. I remember my elementary school did very little to honor our veterans;high school had an annual assembly(集会).However,it wasn’t until I was in my postgraduate journalism studies program that November 11th was properly recognized.Our department was lucky enough to have a teacher who cared enough about our nation’s history to make sure all the students and some of their family came into our tiny campus library to listen to first-hand accounts from three veterans.I remember some classmates arriving at the ceremony reluctantly—it was about time and we all had deadlines to meet—however,by the end,everyone was visibly moved by the accounts and many stayed around afterward to shake the hands of the veterans and ask questions. I’ve been thinking about how we teach the significance of Remembrance Day to our children.Each new generation will unavoidably become more impassive,which is why I’m grateful that we honor our veterans with a moment of silence or an assembly,instead of taking an entire day off from work or school we’d be more likely to forget to remember. |
