【原文】
For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should...should..." Chris trips on the "-ld," a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. "...Vote for...me..." Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, 'I don't know, but I want to know.'"
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.
"Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities," Whaley says, "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."

【中文翻译】
纽约州帕乔格市迦南小学二年级的今天是演讲日,现在轮到克里斯·帕莱兹了。这个8岁的小家伙是班里的搞笑大王。他双眼乌黑发亮,看上去就像是喜欢在公众场合演讲的孩子。
但他很紧张。"今天我要在这儿告诉大家,为什么你们应该……应该……"克里斯在发/-ld/音时结巴了,这是许多非英语母语者的发音难点。他身旁的托马斯·威利老师轻声鼓励:"……投票给……我……"除了些许磕绊,克里斯表现得出奇地好。当他精彩地结束演讲时,威利老师邀请全班同学为他喝彩。
克里斯是移民之子,三年多前才开始学英语。威利回想起年初时,每当叫克里斯朗读,他总是借口去洗手间。
把英语作为第二语言来学可能是痛苦的经历。你需要一位允许你犯错的好老师。"对任何学生来说都不容易,"威利解释道,"尤其是把英语当作新语言来学的学生,要有足够的自信说出'我不知道,但我想知道',这非常不容易。"
威利有一天让学生们举手,如果他们认为自已永远当不了总统就举手。结果令他很伤心。于是他想出了这个"二年级总统竞选"项目。威利说,这个项目不仅仅是让孩子们学会在公众面前阅读和演讲,更想让他们学会赞美自己。
"赞美自己和最好的品质,"威利说,"对一个缺乏自信走进教室的孩子来说非常困难。"

二、范文
Dear Chris,
So proud of you that I can’t help writing to congratulate you on your amazing speech! Reading about how you overcame your nervousness and completed your presentation so bravely that even your teacher was moved, I feel truly inspired.
Like you, I also struggled with English when I first started learning it. What impressed me most was that there was a time when I was so embarrassed about my pronunciation that I would avoid speaking in class. Not only did I lack confidence, but I also doubt whether I could ever speak fluently.
It is your story that teaches me a valuable lesson: what matters most is not perfection, but the courage to keep trying. Your teacher Whaley, who understands the pain of learning a second language, creates a safe space where students can make mistakes without fear. Having read your story, I am now determined to embrace my imperfections and keep moving forward.
Thank you for showing me that boasting about our best qualities is not about being arrogant, but about believing in ourselves. I hope one day I can be as brave as you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Diary,
Today was the day I had been dreading for weeks — speech day. So nervous was I that my hands were shaking even before class began. I’m the joker of the class, and everyone thinks I’m brave. But the truth is that public speaking has always been my biggest fear.
When it was my turn, I stood in front of the class and started, “I’m here to tell you today why you should... should...” I tripped on the “-ld” sound again, just like I always do. My face turned red, and I wanted to run. It was at that moment that I felt Mr. Whaley’s hand gently on my shoulder. He leaned close and whispered, “Take your time, Chris. You’ve got this.”
Not only did his words calm me down, but they also gave me the courage to go on. I took a deep breath and kept going. When I finally brought my speech to a nice conclusion, Mr. Whaley invited the whole class to praise me. What made me happiest was that my classmates clapped so loudly that I almost cried.
Mr. Whaley once asked us to raise our hands if we thought we could never be a president. I didn’t raise my hand that day, because I had come into the classroom not feeling confident at all.But today I realized that learning to boast about yourself is not about being proud — it is about believing that you deserve a chance.
Diary, I used to excuse myself to go to the bathroom whenever I was called upon to read.That was because learning English as a second language had been a painful experience for me. But today, I didn’t run. I stayed. I stood. I spoke. So proud of myself am I that I want to keep going — not just in English, but in everything I do.
Maybe one day, I really will be a president. Or a teacher like Mr. Whaley, who makes every kid feel like they matter.

采访稿
题目:假设你是校记者,有机会采访 Whaley 老师。请你写一份采访提纲,包括:
1. 设计3-4个关于总统竞选项目的问题
2. 询问他对学生建立自信的看法
3. 了解他对其他教师的建议
As a school reporter, I will interview Mr. Whaley. Here is my outline.
First, I will ask about his presidential campaign project, including its origin, unique value and how it helps students improve and build self-praise. Second, I want to know his opinions on helping students build confidence while learning a second language and tolerating students’ mistakes. Third, I will seek his practical advice for teachers teaching shy and weak English learners.
I sincerely hope to gain valuable teaching insights from his answers.
