29."Listen!" Mr.Lee said seriously at the beginning of his first class, "I will put a lie into each of my classes.Your job is to try and catch me in the Lie of the Day." That was really a clever way to fix our attention on the dry and boring subject-geography.Then in the following weeks,we didn't let off every single word of what he was saying in class and challenged(質(zhì)疑)his lectures.When his class ended with nobody seeing through the lie,Mr.Lee would say, "Ah ha!Each of you has a lie in your notes.Discuss among yourselves what it might be,and I will tell you at the end of this term." Mr.Lee's special style of teaching worked.All of us reviewed and discussed about our notes actively. One Monday at the end of the term,Mr.Lee listened carefully to what we were questioning for almost ten minutes.Then he finally said, "Do you still remember the first lesson how I said that every lecture has a lie?" Confused,we said yes. "Well,that was a real big lie.In fact,all the lectures I've given before are completely true.But I am glad you worked so hard.Move on ..." Hearing this,all eyes in the classroom went wide. While my knowledge of geography has been forgotten over time,the lessons have stayed with me.
