听力原文和翻译

A: I think one reason why the oregami activity worked so well in this class was that the teacher was well prepared.

A：我认为折纸活动之所以在这个班上如此成功，一个原因是老师准备充分。

B: Right. I think it would have taken me ages to prepare examples, showing each of the steps involved in making the bird, but that was a really good idea, the children could see what they were aiming for, and much better for them to be able to hold something rather than just looking at pictures.

B：是的。我想我要花很长时间准备例子，展示制作鸟的每个步骤，但这确实是一个好主意，孩子们可以看到他们想要什么，而且他们能够拿着东西而不是只看图片会更好。

A: Hmm... Those physical examples supported her verbal explanations really well.

A：嗯……这些实物例子很好地支持了她的口头解释。

B: It's strange that origami isn't used more widely, why do you think that is?

B：奇怪的是折纸没有得到更广泛的应用，你认为这是为什么？

A: Well, teachers may just feel it's not that appealing to children who are used to doing everything on computers, especially boys, even if they're aware of the benefits.

A：嗯，老师可能只是觉得折纸对习惯在电脑上做所有事情的孩子，尤其是男孩来说不那么有吸引力，即使他们知道这样做的好处。

B: Oh I don't know, it's no different to any other craft activity. I bet it's because so many teachers are clumsy like me.

B：哦，我不知道，这和其他手工活动没什么不同。我敢打赌，这是因为很多老师都像我一样笨手笨脚。

A: That's true, too much effort required if you're not good with your hands.

A：没错，如果你手不灵光的话，就需要付出太多努力。

B: Well anyway， I think we should try it out in our maths teaching practice with Year 3, I can see using origami is a really engaging way of reinforcing children's knowledge of geometric shapes, like they were doing in the video, but I think it would also work really well for presenting fractions, which is coming up soon.

B：不管怎么说，我觉得我们应该在三年级的数学教学实践中尝试一下，我发现折纸是一种非常有趣的方式来强化孩子们对几何形状的认识，就像他们在视频中做的那样，但我认为它对于呈现分数也非常有效，这很快就会出现。

A: Good idea, that's something most of the kids in that class might struggle with, origami would also be good practice for using symmetry. But I think they did that last term.

A：好主意，那可能是班上大多数孩子都很难做到的事情，折纸也是使用对称性的好练习。但我认为他们上学期做过。

B: Okay well, let's try and get some ideas together, and plan the lesson next week.

B：好的，让我们试着一起想一些想法，计划下周的课程。

A: Okay!

A：好的！
