□语篇导读

如今微信几乎家喻户晓，人人皆知！它给千千万万的用户提供了方便。在教育上，微信也拉近了师生之间，老师与家长之间的距离！郭老师利用微信检查学生作业的新创举引起了社会、学校及家庭的极大关注。这种作业批改方式受到了学生的好评，郭老师也认为这种批阅作业的方式便利、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(使产生)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 (扫描)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.

◆典句赏析

1.It is worth trying to use new technology in education.教育值得尝试新的科技。

be worth doing sth.结构，意思是“值得做某事”，worth后面所接的动词要用-ing形式。如果需要副词“非常”修饰，则要用well,而且通常放在be动词之后。

2.Also for teachers,it allows them to check the students'work at any time.同样对于老师来说，二维码使他们能够随时检查学生们的作业。

allow sb.to do sth.是一个比较常用的固定搭配形式，意思是“允许某人做某事”，其中的动词不定式短语to do sth.作宾语sb.的补足语；at any time是一个副词短语，意思是“在任何时候；随时”，在句子中作状语。
