认可的橘子葡萄柚，秋天的梧桐树。转眼间，MBA第一学期的课程已经过半了。

十一月份的第四个星期四授课，适逢西方的感恩节，老师从“黑色星期五(Black Friday)”说起，启发我们思考为什么是“黑色(Black)”？为什么是“星期五(Friday)”？原来感恩节在西方已经演绎为一个团聚团圆的法定节日，当天是不允许搞商业促销活动的，但商人是逐利的，既然当天不允许搞商业促销活动，第二天星期五搞促销活动，总是可以的吧？商家通过各种促销活动，不仅清理了存货，回笼了资金，而且还提高了销售额，赚得盆满钵满(be in the black)，会计记账用黑色(black)表示，因此称为黑色星期五(Black Friday)。

老师不仅讲授西方文化，而且结合文化关联语言，让我们清楚语言是文化的载体，文化是语言的内核。

好的教学，不仅是因材施教，而且还要因时施教。围绕感恩节，老师适时组织应景教学，提炼了经典句型“I would like to give thanks to sb. for doing sth.”，要求同学们模仿造句，举一反三，学以致用。通过富有感染力的授课方式，呼吁大家心怀感恩，明白感恩不仅仅是口头上说说而已(Thanks-giving is more than a two-word expression.)，更是积极向上的思考和谦卑的态度，是自发的充满爱意的行动。常怀感恩之心，将感恩落实到生活之中。正如老师所说“In the first place, we should be respectful to our parents and our teachers（我们应对父母要孝顺，对老师要尊敬）”，时刻将孝敬父母、尊敬老师、敬爱革命先辈放在心中，不断追求着这种代表责任、自立、自尊和追求一种阳光人生的精神境界。

师者，所以传道，授业，解惑也。老师以“TEACHER”为模型，将7个字母赋予“Talented, Extraordinary, Amiable, Considerate, Happy, Efficient and Effective, Respectable”这7个老师具有的特质。如何做到受尊敬呢？老师一定要在专业领域展示出卓越的才华；帮助学生从平凡走向不凡（Make the ordinary extraordinary）；具备一定的亲和力，站在学生的角度思考问题，拉近与学生的距离，学生愿意亲其师，才能更好地信其道；教学，不仅要注重效率，而且还要讲求效果。能够见证一批又一批优秀学子的成长，实现教学相长，如此，做老师一定是幸福的。

在介绍“四重恩”模型和“Teacher’s Day”模型的基础上，老师结合“三八节”进一步介绍了“Woman’s Day”模型。

生活情境化、情境主旨化、主旨双语化、双语总结化、总结落地化，这是老师一直坚持的教学理念。结合所介绍的模型，老师要求我们放飞思考，为“Journalist's Day, Police's Day, Nurse's Day, Children's Day, Youth Day, Valentine's Day, Consumer's Day, Father's Day & Mother's day”这8个与人物有关的节日构建一个模型，每个节日中的字母都要考虑特定人物的特质。

班级以小组为单位，大家集思广益，互动热情高涨，纷纷贡献出了自己的思想与智慧，最后8个小组各派出一名代表向全班同学分享小组的成果。

如果说管理就是正确地做事，那么领导就是做正确的事情 (Management is doing things right ；leadership is doing the right things.) 。老师结合管理的有效性，辨析了effectiveness和efficiency这两个看似相似但含义却不同的单词，希望我们读万卷书，行万里路；以铜为镜，以人为镜，以史为镜，总结反省，多渠道丰富自己的知识结构，并从目标管理、时间管理、习惯管理、精力管理等方面着手，舒缓压力，应对冲突，把知识转换为智慧，做到“沉下来能思、坐下来能写、站起来能说、学习后能用、走出去能干”。

模型就是经验的抽象集合。我们平时听到的谚语、公式、定理，本质上都是一种模型。但是，模型只在特定的尺度上成立。假如只用一个模型观察世界，就会让真理成为公式的牺牲品。所以，要想理解真实世界，我们需要的不是模型，而是多模型。同学们的集思广益，老师不断修正模型，其实就是帮助我们走向系统思考，止于至善。（文/图：方立立）
