空手道

Karate is a Japanese sport or way of fighting in which people fight using their hands, elbows(手肘), feet, and legs.

Here is an example:

He is a black belt in karate.

他是空手道黑带。

今天讲的这个小男孩还没有拿到黑带。One day, in a Karate class, a student trys to break a board(木板) during a test.

但是厚厚的木板很难击破。The student starts to cry.

His teacher notices his frustration²(挫折) and encourages（鼓励） him to channel that frustration in breaking the board.

他一直没有成功，还在哭泣。老师并没有说任何指责的话。

Instead, he stops the class to talk through what he is feeling.

The boy told his teacher that it is so hard to punch³ by using his left hand.

听到这里，老师特别耐心温柔跟他讲了一些可能会让他收益终身的话。

我们一起来听一下吧：

“soundbite”

能遇到这么好的老师真是好幸福啊。

We are humans and it's okay to cry, but never give up when facing adversity（逆境）.

你有没有类似的经历呢？你有没有对哪位老师特别感激和感恩呢？
