I haven’t seen Mr Jenkins since I left school, but I often think about him. I

wasn’t very good at most school subjects before I met Mr Jenkins. I suppose I was

a bit lazy, especially in maths. The only thing I can remember from school maths is

that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees! But when I was 15 and went

into Mr Jenkins’ class, I really became interested in a subject for the first time.虽

然离开学校之后再也没有见过詹金斯先生，但我经常想起他。在遇到詹金斯先生之前，大

多数科目我都不是很擅长。我想我那时候有点懒惰，特别是在数学方面。我唯一还记得的

数学课内容是三角形的内角和180度！但是在15岁那年，我走进了詹金斯先生的课堂，

第一次对一个学科真正产生了兴趣。Before Mr Jenkins taught me, science had simply

been a subject full of strange words to me. I had no idea what hydrogen was, and I

didn’t really want to know, either! I found it all so boring and difficult. But Mr

Jenkins made everything interesting. He used to explain things which seemed

difficult with lots of practical examples and in simple language. One day, he took

us outside, and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some fuel into

the rocket, and then another student lit a match to set it off. It was great fun.在上詹

金斯先生的课之前，科学课对我来说就是一堆奇怪的词语。我不知道氢是什么，而且也不

想知道！我觉得这些东西既无聊又难以理解。但詹金斯先生让一切变得有趣起来。他结合

很多实际例子用简单的语言解释看似很难的知识。有一天，他把我们带到户外，一起制造

了一枚火箭！我记得他让我把燃料倒进火箭，然后另一名学生点燃了一根火柴发射火箭。

这非常有趣。

I know that I wasn’t a willing student, but I wasn't slow to learn new things.

The problem was that I lacked confidence in myself. Mr Jenkins made me feel that I

had my own strengths. I was interested in the study of the stars and planets and he

asked me to give a presentation to the class. That was really the first time I tried to

explain science to an audience and now it’s my job! Often when I’m preparing a

programme, I think about how Mr Jenkins would have done it. Sometimes I think,

if only I could call him and ask for his opinion!我知道自己不是一个主动学习的学生，

但我学习新事物并不慢，问题是对自己缺乏信心。詹金斯先生让我认识到我有自己的长处。

我对恒星和行星的研究很感兴趣，他让我给全班同学做一个展示。这是我第一次尝试向观

众讲解科学知识，现在这成了我的工作！在准备一个项目时，我常会想如果是詹金斯先生，

他会怎么做。有时甚至想，如果能打电话征求他的意见就好了！My student

我的学生

I’ve read a couple of Graham's books and seen him on TV. I always say to my

wife, “Oh look, I used to teach him!” I remember Graham was very difficult before

he came into my class. I had heard stories about his bad behaviour. Once I caught

him and his friends seeing who could jump the farthest off the school stage! But

when he got interested, he changed. The first day he walked into my class, he was

dragging his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up an

experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he

gave me his full attention. He loved science! He was very bright and he had done

very well in science subjects.我读了几本格雷厄姆的书，也在电视上看到过他。我总会对
