Calendar September 10, our teachers.

　　We need a holiday to honor think about those instructors¹ who impacted your life. The teacher who inspired you into a position of leadership. The teacher who dared you to be a pilot. The teacher who directed you to be a computer programmer. The teacher who tapped into your creativity and encouraged you to be a writer. The teacher who struck a cord for the start of your music career. The teacher who planted the seed for your new business, medical, or legal career. The teacher who gave you the confidence to excel in sports, and to deal with the difficult problems and people you were sure to encounter.

　　This holiday is Teachers' Day!

　　我们需要一个节日来回报和思考把我们的生命变得丰富和坚强得教师们。无论您是一位政府官员、一位飞行员、或者是一位计算机程序员、更或者您是一位音乐家、商人、医生、律师、体育运动员，您都应该清楚地明白，这一切都离不开　　教师们的努力。

　　这个节日就是教师节。

　　1、我国教师节的演变(Evolvement of Chinese Teachers' Day)

　　·"６.６"教师节：１９３１年５月，教育家、南京中央大学教授爽秋、程其保等发起，拟定每年６月６日为教师节。

　　·"８.２７"教师节：１９３９年，当时的政府教育部决定以中国教育家孔子的诞辰８月２７日为教师节。

　　·"５.１"教师节：１９５１年，中华人民共和国教育部、中华全国总工会共同商定，将教师节与"五一"国际劳动节合并一起。

　　·"９.１０"教师节：由王梓坤教授发起，１９８５年１月２１日，六届全国人大第九次会议正式通过国务院关于建立教师节的议案，并决定９月１０日为我国的教师节。

　　2、Teachers' Day in Singapore（新加坡的教师节)

　　On 31st August, was a day like any other schooldays, except that the teachers, instead of being bogged² down by assignments were besieged³ by gifts, flowers and cards from the ever-grateful students.

　　8月31日，仍是一个需要到学校的日子，但是教师们在这一天将被倍受感激的学生们送来的礼物、鲜花、贺卡包围。

　　The hall was beautifully decorated with colourful balloons and streamers. The Class Chairman and Vice-Chairman were given the honour to invite the teachers personally to the hall. With each teacher's arrival, the students roared and cheered for them.

　　礼堂被彩色的气球和横幅装的富丽堂皇。每个班级的主席和副主席很荣幸地去邀请他们的老师。每一位老师的入席都伴随着学生们的兴高采烈的呼声。

　　The concert comprised of dances and song performances that were all put up by our very own talented students! The audience even crooned to the rhythm of the songs. Our students also 'boogied down' with slick dance steps while the Balinese dancers impressed all with their delightful⁴ costumes and grace.

　　音乐会全部由该校有才能学生的歌舞表演组成。台下的听众跟着歌声低声吟唱。巴厘岛的舞女们展示着自己的节日盛装的优雅身姿，同时学生们也翩翩起舞。

　　The culmination⁵ was of course the last item that was put up by some teachers. They sang a song entitled, "I love to teach the world to sing". It was very heart warming and the performance received the loudest applauds from the audience.

　　音乐会的高潮是当然是最后一个节目，一些教师将合唱他们的歌曲"我要教会世界去歌唱"。真挚的表演获得了观众们最高的喝彩。 

　　3、Teachers' Day in Latvia（拉托维亚的教师节）

　　We celebrate Teachers ' Day on the first Sunday of October.

　　我们的教师节是在10月份的第一个星期日。

　　The celebrations usually take place on Friday. All pupils show performances to teachers in the hall. Pupils present a lot of flowers to teachers. The most interesting thing is that teachers acting⁶ as pupils have a lesson with senior pupils acting as teachers. They teach, ask questions and play games as a usual lesson. Teachers usually behave badly, they are late, chew gum, talk to deskmates and have to be reprimanded and sent to the head teacher who is also a senior pupil.

　　庆祝活动一般提前在礼拜五举行。学生们在礼堂里为教师们举办表演，并送给老师大把大把的鲜花。最有趣的活动是教师们将以学生的身份参加由高年纪学生扮演老师主持的一节课。他们教授、提问、做节目，就像真的一样。老师们将扮演坏学生的角色，他们迟到、咀嚼口香糖、交头接耳、被训斥和打小报告。
