   An Italian teacher has decided 1 to forgo 2 setting the usual holiday homework for his students and has instead given them a list of life advice.


  意大利一位老师决定用一系列的生活建议来代替常规的学生暑期作业。
  Most schoolchildren in Italy are given school work to complete over the three-month summer holidays, which stretch from mid-June to mid-September. But Cesare Cata, who teaches at a secondary school in the central Le Marche region, wants his students to use their time off for less academic pursuits. "At least once, go and watch the sunrise", he writes in the 15-point "homework" list, which has since gone viral. Students are also told to wander beside the sea in the morning "thinking of the things you love in life", and to dance shamelessly when the mood strikes, because "summer is a dance, and it is foolish not to take part".
  意大利的暑假长达三个月,从六月中旬一直持续到九月中旬,大部分学生都需要在这期间完成学校布置的作业。但是,在意大利马尔凯中部地区,一位名叫凯撒?卡塔的中学老师却不要求学生做太多作业,而是在假期里“至少去看一次日出”。他留的作业清单一共有15条,已在社交网络上被疯传。他还让学生们早晨去海边漫步,“思考你人生中爱做的事”,想跳舞时就跳舞,不要觉得羞耻,因为“夏天就像一场舞蹈,不是其中的一份子才应该觉得羞耻。”
  意大利老师留另类暑假作业
  Mr Cata doesn't want students to forget school completely, though, and urges them to read widely and use all of the new terms they learned in the past year. "The more things you can say, the more things you can think; and the more things you can think, the freer you are," he says.
  不过卡塔老师也不希望学生们完全把学业抛在一边,他敦促学生们要广泛阅读,要多用他们在过去一年中学到的所有新词。“你能说的东西越多,能想到的东西就越多;想到的东西越多,你就越自由。”他说。
  More than 3,000 people have shared the teacher's Facebook post, and hundreds have left positive comments. "I wish I'd had a teacher like you who encourages reflection and introspection," one person writes. The list seems to have struck a chord with many parents, who say they have shared it with their children. "Homework for life, not just for a season," one Facebook user says, while another declares: "With a teacher like you, I would go back to school tomorrow!"
  脸书上超过三千人分享了卡塔老师上传的作业清单,还有数百人留下了积极正面的评论。“我希望我也能有个像你这样的老师鼓励(我们)反思自我,”有人这样写道。这份清单似乎也引起了很多家长的共鸣,那些家长和孩子分享了这份“作业”。脸书的一位用户说:“这是一生都要做的作业,而非一季的作业,”还有一名用户则表示:“有你这样的老师,我愿意明天就回学校去!”
