作为一名优秀的幼儿英语教师，不但要训练自己的专业技能，更要提高自己的英语水平，不只是停留在背诵词汇，句子，还体现在阅读更多的书籍，可以是关于教育的，也可以是关于英语故事的……总之，要从多方面去提高和完善自己。

        今天给大家分享一个英语小故事，故事中这位法国人说的英语真是不敢恭维，但他能利用极有限的几个单词，解脱了困境，其机智令人佩服。

        A Frenchman was traveling in England. He could speak English quite well but not perfectly. For one thing, his vocabulary was not large.

One day, he was having a meal in a small country hotel and wanted to order some eggs. But he couldn’t remember the word for eggs.

Suddenly, through the window, he saw a rooster walking in the yard. He immediately asked the waiter what the bird was called in English.

The waiter told him that it was called rooster.

The Frenchman then asked what the rooster’s wife was called.

The waiter told him that she was called a hen.

The Frenchman then asked what the hen’s children were called.

The waiter told him that they were chickens.

The Frenchman then asked what the chickens were called before they were born.

The waiter told him that they were called eggs.

“Fine!” said the Frenchman. “Please bring me two eggs and a cup of coffee.
