团结一致,推动变化
Coming Together
Inspiring Change
在世界讲故事日,我们有幸邀请到了一位特别嘉宾——《柏拉图的土豆(Plato's Potatoes)》的英文绘本作者Michael Neil Kelly。他的书讲述了两个女孩是如何学习到了关于分享和慷慨的重要课题。来自PYP小学四年级的Kayla和MYP中学一年级的Ronald主动帮助Mr. Michael将此书的故事读给现场观众欣赏。
On World Storytelling Day, we were fortunate to have a special visitor, Mr. Michael Neil Kelly, the author of Plato's Potatoes. The book is about two girls who learn the importance of sharing and not being greedy. Kayla from PYP4 and Ronald from MYP1 volunteered to help Mr. Michael read the book, and for their excellent reading, Mr. Michael gave each one a copy of his book.
在共读故事期间,Mr. Michael回答了来自观众的提问。他分享道,面对不同年龄阶段的群体,如儿童、青少年和成人,他分别为这些群体撰写了不同的书籍。当被问及灵感来源时,他说在童年阶段,他的父亲常常鼓励他大量阅读。当被问及他花了多长时间写出《柏拉图的土豆》一书时,Mr. Michael说,他只花了十天时间完成初稿,却花了两个月的时间进行校对与修正。
During the reading, Mr. Michael took some questions from the audience. He shared that he has written several books for different age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults. When asked about his inspiration for writing, Mr. Michael credited his father, who encouraged him to read a lot as a child. When asked about how long it took him to write the book, Mr. Michael shared that it only took him ten days, but he spent two months making revisions to improve it.
PYP小学三年级班主任Mr. Charles补充道,绘本作家Mr. Michael的到来给我们上了一节关于文字写作的重要一课。初稿并不总是完美的,但为了让文章更出色,修正与润色是极其必要的。
Mr. Charles, our PYP3 homeroom teacher, also added that Mr. Michael's visit was a great lesson in the writing process. Writing is not always perfect the first time, but revisions are necessary to make it better.
最后,Mr. Michael将他的书捐赠给了TWIS图书馆。我们衷心地感谢Mr. Michael亲临TWIS校园并给我们的学生讲故事,我们也期待着他带着下一本书再次来访。在这个世界讲故事日,让我们记住团结一致,以共享故事推动社会的变化。
Mr. Michael's visit concluded with him writing dedications for his copies of Plato's Potatoes, which are now a part of the primary library's collection. We are grateful for Mr. Michael's visit and hope that he stops by again soon with his next book. This World Storytelling Day, let's remember the importance of coming together and inspiring change through our shared stories.
