選修課(selective courses)
this term our school laid down a new rule about selective court. for the first two weeks, we may sit in as many classes as we like before we decide on which coursesto choose. we jumped for joy. the first week i attended classes for four evenings on end and found out that most of the teachers took it serioualy. they were busy in "winning votes" for fear, that later on no one would attend their lectures.
for example, the teacher of modern literature of taiwan said, "actually the flrst two hours of my lecture were only a prelude. the real contents have not been involved. in the furore, we shall discuss such famous writers as qiong yao, xi murong, etc, and such famous aetresses as lin fengjiao, lin qingxia etc. we have lots of vedio-taped films to watch. these are confined only to those who co-major in this court." see, after all, the last sentence is the core of everything he said.
the teacher of appreciation and critics of modern opera said, "we have a variety of contents and the teaching method is changable. for instance, l may choose one act from a play and let you perform it in class. if you do a good job, you can put on the play at the school theater festival. also, we shall arrange for you to watch current plays. the school is in charge of the traffic and tickets, of course, only those who co-major this course are eligible." you see, the most important thing comes at last through twists and turns.
選修課
這學期，學校對選修課有了新的規定：開頭兩周，大家可以任意選聽，然後再決定選什麼課。這下我們可高興了。第1周我連上了4個晚上的選修課，發現大部分老師對這件事都十分緊張，趕緊拉“選票”，以免後來沒人選他們的課。
比如,《台灣現代文學》課的老師就說：“實際上，我這門課前兩節課僅是序言，根本沒有涉及主要內容。後面，我們將討論瓊瑤、席慕蓉等有名作家和名演員林鳳嬌、林青霞等，還有很多錄像帶供觀看；當然僅限於選修的同學。瞧，說了半天，核心內容就是最後一句。
而《當代戲劇鑑賞與評論》的老師則說，“我們上課內容是豐富的，教學方法是多樣的。比如，我將選個戲劇片段讓你們在課堂上表演。如果你們演得好，還可以在學校藝術節上公演。另外，我們還將組織你們看新上演的話劇，票錢和路費都可以由學校報銷；當然，這些待遇僅限於修這門課的同學。”你看，最後還是繞到最重要的事情上去了。
