翘首以盼，从0点等到12点等到24点等到36点，一张花瓣都没有等到啊！不想送我花，那就送我几堆粉红色的国家名片嘛，——凌哥已经购置好点钞机一台。
梦想总要有的，万一实现了呢？
果不其然，深圳中英公学的张四海校长给凌哥送来了“七·八”节的礼物。（不说“七夕节”，免得你们乱想了。）啊，梦想终于实现了！
凌哥花了三四天编织出来的长文《全班齐上阵，40分钟三台戏》，竟然得到张校长的厚爱，早上得到了他的长文留言，已经感受到他的专业指导，谁想到，谁能想到，当天下午张四海校长又以超越顺丰速运的速度给了凌哥一份大礼。然后，昨天在他的公众号（张四海英语工作室）中又转发了凌哥公众号文章的图片。凌哥要和张校长握手，两国领导人会晤时候的那种。
废话少说，真经奉上——
What We Can Learn from Mr Ling’s Demo Lesson
It was great to watch Mr Ling’s students’ short play performance.
1. Students made and brought their own props and realia.
2. The performance tapped into their different potentials, oral English of course, acting, miming, body languages, gestures, facial expressions, emotions and creativity. One boy even acted as Snow White!
3. Drama and acting out really involved everyone and accommodated learners of various levels. It also channeled their energy and creativity into something positive.
4. It was an authentic lesson, we witnessed learners improve and make some oral and written errors. But in the meanwhile they all shone with confidence and radiated joy.
5. Design moderately challenging tasks and have high expectations and believe they can flow the mark and you may be rewarded with surprises.
6. We could only imagine there were a lot of interactions going on, Mr Ling probably milled around, gave advice, offered assistance when necessary. (Ling: Exactly, mainly to remind them the time and to make sure that they are using English as much as they can. Also I offered help about some vocabulary, like "antidote". For the weak group, I encouraged them constantly. And finally, when they were on the track, to my surprise, they drove me away, saying "We can". Ha-ha!)
7. A lot of scaffolds and practices were provided before they could show on the stage.
Generally speaking, it was a great lesson. Both the teacher and the students enjoyed it and the teacher learned how to teach in the process of helping learners how to learn.
再次感谢张校长的赞誉之词。
更重要的，是张校长对于一堂好课提出的12条要点：
