在TIP 的日子里
从TIP 回来已有一周的时间，每天都会和朋友们和家人提及TIP 。很幸福、很难得的一次经历。
每一天清晨，学员们都会很早起床，吃过早餐后在校园的操场上朗读英语小短文。这对于每一个成年人来说是很归真的一种体验。自从工作以后，忙碌的生活带给我们的都是永无止境的想法和停不了的事务，很少在清晨偷出空闲时间来朗读自己喜欢的文章或背诵一些名言警句，然而在这里，在这个全封闭式的英语培训班里，我们又重温了学生时代的那种特有的精神享受——读、背、记！
八点了，全体学员要到大教室去听课!每天的这个时候，可敬可爱的外教都会将当日的学习安排和一些特别需要注意的事项向每位学员做一个梳理，还会将前一天的学习做个总结和鼓励。接着，我们就会学习英语语音。大家会在这个时间段体验一下英文绕口令，很能锻炼口腔肌。最受大家喜爱的，就是MOMO时间段的英文小范文，小范文蕴含大哲理。从最初的I can do it 到后面的Nobody knows the difference再到Everybody has a dream,每一篇文章都很鼓舞人心，并且告诉我们如何在生活中学会转换视角看待问题、为什么每天要选择一个好的表情来面对所发生的一切？怎么做才能够让自己开心，大家舒心等等。这些故事在潜移默化的启发着我们。
10点了，我们又进入了下一个课堂的学习，这个课堂是小课，是由我们各班的外教来陪伴我们度过。为什么说是陪伴，是因为在TIP里，每个外教都是我们的陪伴者、帮助者，在整个学习过程中最重要的老师是自己。我们必须尝试着用自己会说的英文句子和英文单词的近义词来表述我们陈述的内容，实在不会表达，就用简笔画的方式，坚决不可以用中文。因为在TIP 里，为了使每位学员在短时间内卓有成效，必须得保护这个只有英文，没有中文的环境！这样一来，我们这些从小说惯了中国话的学员们在规则的制约下创造了很多新颖的笑话！比如说当外教告诉我们该做什么不该做什么的时候，中国学员在下面很认真的回答：“MUST!”没想到赵本山经常在电视剧里运用的“必须的”在英文世界里一样可以拥有粉丝！我们在这个时间段里，多半是分组讨论不同的主题，或者在同一时间完成不同的任务等，这样使我们每个人都可以张嘴说英语，而且小组成员会及时帮助我们解决问题。其实，TIP的很多教学理念都是值得老师们借鉴和学习的——在课堂上如何组织课堂教学，从而使学生们能有效接受新知识。教师必须花一些心思，根据不同年龄段孩子的心理来设计一些比较有趣的教学方式，让学生产生兴趣，激起他们内在的潜力或***，从而达到教学目的。在整个过程中，一定要记住，课堂教学一定要以学生为主，让学生多发言、多问问题。
在TIP里，还有一个亮点就是每天中午和晚上45分钟的用餐时间必须都得和本班的同学坐在一起。这样我们又可以有足够的时间练习英语口语。每天的这个时间段里，各班都会展示出各班的风采，每个班级都有属于他们自己的口号，45分钟的时间内，食堂里的口号声此起彼伏。很热闹，大家都会放声喊，有些同学也说：“喊喊口号，很开胃！”
TIP的课程设计的很科学，不会让大家感到乏味，下午的时间我们会看一些经典的童话故事和名人演讲。尽管大家都是成年人了，但对童话故事的热爱依旧如儿时般陶醉。毕竟真善美是这个世界永恒的主题。
外教在不同的周末都会给我们安排不同的任务，我们会有每个班级的精彩节目展示，还会有每个人不以雷同的演讲。这样的形式会让我们再次萌发热情，投入到新的任务中，会一直保持新鲜感。以前也会表演节目，但是节目中不许有中文歌词出现，会让大家感觉到稍有点难度。我们只能选择一些只有曲子，没有唱词的歌曲来当伴奏。在这样的时候，来自不同地方的老师们也会展现出自己家乡的特色，二人转、新疆舞、陕西大秧歌竟也是那么的出彩！带来了不少的乐趣！每天下午的体育课时间，我们都会投入到这些有趣的任务当中，摆各种造型照相、用不同的形式拍TIP 的广告、还有用画笔展示自己的收获······这样的巧妙安排，让大家感到很放松，在快乐中获取知识，在参与中体验不一样的心情，也许这样的精心设计，会让一部分人重新找回自信、找回对生活的积极态度，获得寻找快乐的方法，在生活中少一些抱怨、多一些体验！正如我们在TIP 中经常重复的”Attack your limitations !Build your confidence! Commit yourself! “这是我们学习英语口语的ABC宝典，但我觉的也可将此宝典应用到我们的生活中。
下午的最后一堂课是club.这也是很受大家欢迎的课堂。我们在这里欣赏了很多种美妙的美国音乐。了解到很多的重要的美国传统节日，还有，懂得了为什么课堂上要以学生为主的教学方法。很喜欢外教们对工作的热情和积极投入的态度。在课堂上，他们仿佛是一个传感器，能把热情带给每一个人，让大家都被感染，尽情的欢乐起来！
学习一种语言其实并不难，只要我们肯投入，愿意坚持，主动接受，我相信我们会做的很好！学习如此，做人也是，只要我们真诚、讲实话、踏实，乐观，我们会赢得大家的尊敬和信任。
还记得刚报道那天经过的校园小路；第一次遇见外教时只说“Hello”的羞涩；在清晨站在操场上放声朗读后内心的愉悦；观看电影后脑海里澎湃的思绪；还有每天傍晚阅读杂志开阔视野的舒适，无不给人一股天天向上的力量。
每一次经历都是弥足珍贵的，每一次体验都是刻骨铭心的，每一次收获都是值得分享的。
我愿意把学到的快乐带给身边的人......我感谢为我播撒爱的人，谢谢你们的爱，我会将爱传递。
TIP日记之一二篇
2011年9月7日
今天是来到TIP（Total Immersion Program）的第三个晚上了,感觉非常好！我们是美中英语教育机构的第53期学员，今天刚开完开学典礼。在开学典礼上，老师不停的强调今天是未来二十天内唯一的可以说中文的一天，以后都是：English only, No Chinese!这期的学员大都来自广西省、新疆省、延安市的一些较偏远地区的中小学英语教师，大家来到这里都是为了两个口号——“西部的孩子不笨，英语口语两年可以赶上上海的孩子”，“西部的老师很棒，两年可以替代外教”所倡导的那样，教育先行！
学校的各个方面设备齐全，我们的校区就设在北京大学圆明园校区，报道的每个环节都是那么的紧凑、张弛有序。每个环节都能看到外教和一些中方工作人员的周到服务和细致入微的安排，无不让我们每个学员感到温暖、欣喜。报道后就有一个面试，这时外教告诉我们：“Do not nevous, interview is not exam.”接着，我们就排队来到面试的教室里，外教很热情的与我打了招呼，都是一对一的面试，面试是为了让每个学员找到适合自己的教师，更有效的投入学习。到了晚上，开学典礼的时候，来自不同国家、不同肤色的外教与我们每位学员一一见了面，很热情洋溢的“Hi”“Hello”以及那绽放的笑容感染着我们每一个人，仿佛是久别很久的亲人，再次重逢，那种笑容，很和谐、很灿烂！

Today is the Teacher’s Day. Morning our facilitators give us a very beautiful present. They said : ” In China, I know the teacher ‘s day is very important day to the teachers. So in TIP,I hope you have a good time and pass a wonderful day”!
In our club time, we study the Easter holidays. Christians celebrate this day as a religious holidays, and often spend it with family. The name of this day comes form a mythical goddess of fertility. She was often with a rabbit to symbolize rapid birth of spring. Also, eggs are elyed to represent the varying colors of sunlight.
Then, we go to the computer lab. The lab is very wonderful and nice. There are many kinds of subject pronunciation for us to study ,such as words, songs .After class, I went to the telephone room call my dear parents ,teacheres and my close partner, include MrGuo. It made me very happy. I missed and told them I will study hard and come back to ZhouQu as soon as possible.
Sometimes, I want to be a warm-hearted girl who do anything as she can. But when I grow more and more old, I feel that I have a little time and few ability. It’s a pity! Zhouqu give me so much feeling, I thought the experience what I got from zhouqu as a volunteer is play a very important role in my life!

Today morning, we take part in English coner .Everyone of us talk something about love. We have a very wonderful time. In the afternoon, we watch movie-Ultimate Gift: We know life is how you live it not how you spend it.
And life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be. Happy relationships depend not on finding the right person, but in being the right person.
Most people think of love as some sort power outside of themselves that will “take them away from all this”, sadly, this is not the case. Love exists only within our hearts and to have happy relationships, we must first become truly loving people. And as we fill our hearts with love by expressing love toward all people in thought, word and deed, then that love will heal our own lives, help to solve our problems and enable us to feel good about ourselves.
Emotionally healthy people coming together to give to each other rather than to take from each other.
To be loved, you must love others first.

I will be kind to others whenever I can, no matter how small Might be, who knows, maybe someday I will need their kindness in return.
Today, we watch a faith tale-the lion and the mouse. It’s very interesting! It all remind us ,must be kind to everyone that you meet in you life. Because we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, so we should equal to everyone.
I find that a good way which can take us to a successful road.
Everyone are worried about something that they meet one day. If one day your leader or your teacher tell you that you must finish one thing on their ordered day. You don’t worried about all the time. You just try you best to do the thing which happen now. Because , if you finish everything use you heart, I think ,a good idea maybe come out! And help you decide your opinion! Experience is very important .We must do something with the team. We must share our opinion with other members and listen their opinions. To trust them, believe them, if you do this ,I think ,your successful will be celebrated by all of the people. Not only just yourself.
I like psychology! I will become better and better!

Today, I want to talk something about attitude. We should tell everyone how to look on the positive side of the situation. All of the time be a positive person!
Every morning when we wake up and say to ourselves, we have to choose today. We can choose to be in a good mood or we can choose to be in a bad mood. I want to choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a vitim or I can choose to learn from it. Everytime someone complains to somebody ,we can chose to accept somebody’s complains or point out the positive side of life. Life is all about choices, when we cut away(remove) all the junk ,every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations, you choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. It is your choice how you live life.
We learned from that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude , after all is everything.
No matter, what shall we do, we must truth! honest! and straight! If we are truth, we can do everything well and everyone will believe us.
Life is beautiful! So we should enjoy it!
