□語篇導讀

如今微信幾乎家喻戶曉，人人皆知！它給千千萬萬的用戶提供了方便。在教育上，微信也拉近了師生之間，老師與家長之間的距離！郭老師利用微信檢查學生作業(yè)的新創(chuàng)舉引起了社會、學校及家庭的極大關(guān)注。這種作業(yè)批改方式受到了學生的好評，郭老師也認為這種批閱作業(yè)的方式便利、易操作。

Mr.Guo is a teacher from Xi’an.He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code.“We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使產(chǎn)生)the codes,and in the end everything gets easier.”said Guo,“When students finish the homework,they keep it on WeChat(微信).Then,each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me.So I can check their work everywhere by using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr.Guo by email,QQ or WeChat.When Guo scans (掃描)his students'QR codes,their homework appears on his phone.He finds that their homework becomes more creative,with many pictures,music and even videos.

Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting.“We are living in the information age.Many students like to work with computers,which makes learning more fun.”said Tingting,a student of Guo's.

“The paper is not easy to keep,but the code is easy to keep and share,”Guo said.“It is worth trying to use new technology in education.Education itself is a kind of creation.I don't want my students to fall behind the times.”

However,some parents are worried.They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers.But in fact,it's unnecessary.Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework.They only use the code when they hand in their homework,which doesn't take them too much time.Also for teachers,it allows them to check the students'homework at any time.And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.

◆典句賞析

1.It is worth trying to use new technology in education.教育值得嘗試新的科技。

be worth doing sth.結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是“值得做某事”，worth后面所接的動詞要用-ing形式。如果需要副詞“非?！毙揎棧瑒t要用well,而且通常放在be動詞之后。

2.Also for teachers,it allows them to check the students'work at any time.同樣對于老師來說，二維碼使他們能夠隨時檢查學生們的作業(yè)。

allow sb.to do sth.是一個比較常用的固定搭配形式，意思是“允許某人做某事”，其中的動詞不定式短語to do sth.作賓語sb.的補足語；at any time是一個副詞短語，意思是“在任何時候；隨時”，在句子中作狀語。
