John is six years old. He can read and write well. But he can`t tell
the time. His mother, Mrs Brown teaches him many times, but he still can`t
tell. He would say “brerakfast time”, “lunchtime” and “teatime” instead of (代替) saying eight o`clock, twelve
o`clock and four o`clock in the afternoon. His mother doesn`t know how to help
him.
One day John`s aunt, Mary comes to see his mother. His mother tell
her about that. His aunt says. “Let me help you. I think I can help him.”
When John comes home after school, Mary begins (开始) to teach him..
“Can you count,John
?” she asks him.
“Yes. One ,two three,four …”John says.
“That`s fine. Now I put the
long hand (钟表的长指针) on
twelve and the short hand on one －that is one o`clock. If I put the short hand on two, what is the
time?’’
“Two o`clock.”
“Good. And on three?”
“Three o`clock.”
Then it is four o`clock in
the afternoon, and John`s aunt asks him, “What time is it now ,John?”
“Teatime, Aunt, and I am
very hungry (饥饿).” John
looks at the clock and answers.
