“骡子不是生物”!生物课上，上海宏润博源学校老师的一句话如石破天惊!大家很惊讶，随即想起新学的内容，顿时醒悟：要想称得上生物，除了会运动、呼吸、生长外，还需掌握排泄，繁殖等技能，而骡子恰恰是那个不会繁殖的存在，便不能算作生物了。

"The mule is not a living organism." Hearing the teacher said so, everyone was astonished.Then it suddenly occurred to us what we have learned recently in class----In order to be eligible for the title of an organism, a living thing should not only be able to move around, breathe and grow by itself, but it should also be able to excrete and reproduce etc., which are included in the fundamental skills of a living organism. However, the mule is the very being that can not breed on its own, so it can not be counted as a living organism.

讲解

生物从最低级到最高级分为原核生物、原生生物、真菌、植物，和动物五大类。而在每一个大类中，又有七个不同的分类。这听起来似乎非常繁琐，但通过学习卡尔·林奈的双名命名法，我们能够清楚的知道每一个生物最细致的分类，而在这周的课堂中，同学们便熟练地运用这项知识来完成了一次演讲——我们需要运用“界门纲目科属种”来完整的介绍一种生物。

From the lowest to the highest level, organisms are divided into five major kingdoms: prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. Furthermore,in each of the 5 big kingdoms, there are seven different categories. This may sound complicated, but after learning Karl Linnaeus' binominal nomenclature, we can clearly understand the precisest classification of each creature. In this week's class, having had a good command of what we’ve learned, each fellow student completed a presentation entitled “we should use names such as kingdom,phylum, class, order, family, genus and species so as to accurately describe a creature.”

十几位同学对不同生物的描述为我们输入了更多的知识，受益匪浅。

We have learned and benefited a lot from the different descriptions of creatures given by more than a dozen of our fellow students.

陆志远同学自告奋勇，成为了个演讲的人。他介绍的是一种种名为“豹猫”的生物。陆志远同学不仅介绍了“豹猫”的类别与“豹猫”的基本信息，而且详细描述了每种分类的特征。听完他的演讲之后，我们不仅对于“豹猫”有了更深的认识，更了解了许多关于这七种分类的知识。

Nick Lu volunteered to be the first to give his presentation. He introduced to us a creature named “leopard cat”. Not only did he provide us with its general information and its classifications, but he also described the characteristics of each of its species in detail. By listening to his presentation, we acquired a deeper understanding of the "Leopard Cat", and learned more about the seven categories as well.

PPT演说

徐楷镔同学也同样介绍了猫科动物——狮子，但侧重面不同。他通过生物应该具有的几项性质来准确地证明了狮子是一种生物而不只是一个物体。在他的PPT中图片是非常凸显地存在，使我们能够更快速地理解他所讲述的内容并消化。

Andy Xu introduced to us the lion, which is also an animal belonging to the feline family, but he focused on different aspects. He soundly proved that the lion is a real creature instead of an object on the ground of the several characteristics that an living organism should possess. Besides, he made the pictures in his PPT eye-catching, enabling us to easily get his points.

而接下来的几位同学也为大家介绍了不少有关动物的新奇知识，小到青蛙，大到鲸鱼，似乎每个类别的动物都被同学们提了个遍。有些同学就着精美的PPT进行演说，也有的同学直接在白板上书写起来，滔滔不绝地讲解着自己选择的这个动物。

The next few students shared with us much new knowledge about many animals, ranging from ones as small as frogs to ones as large as whales, with no category left untouched. Some students made their presentations based on their exquisitely-made PPT, others kept talking about the animals they had chosen while writing something on the white board.

介绍有关动物的新奇知识

此次汇报性练习暂告段落，同学们很享受自己分享的成果，不仅在愉快的交流中了解生物的定义及分类知识，更锻炼了的演讲能力。更重要的是通过一次次的练习，我们会更加热爱生命，热爱生物这门课程;通过一次次的敞开的分享，同学们的演讲会更加自如。

Our learning of the ABCs in biology was concluded, and the students really enjoyed sharing what they learned about the definition and classification of organisms. What’s more, they practised their speaking skills. Above all, through repeated practices, we will feel stronger affection for life and for this curriculum; by constantly sharing what we have learned, we will feel more confident in making presentations.
