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 stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) 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 (夸耀) 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.” 1.

Possible answer Born in 1954, Jon Krakauer started climbing when he was eight years old. Into Thin Air, his best-selling memoir, records the tragedy on Qomolangma he experienced. When descending from the peak of the mountain, four members of his six-member team died of a sudden storm. He came back with major doubts about mountain climbing, which he wrote about in his book. Nevertheless, as shown in the video, Krakauer has continued to climb. In a bid to honor the twelve climbers died in the storm (there were other teams on the mountain in addition to Krakauer’s team), he set up the ’96 Qomolangma Memorial Fund to provide financial support for mountain climbers in the Himalayas. Apart from being a climber, Krakauer also works as an investigative journalist and a wide range of books has been authored.
