2. Comprehension Check
Focusing on the main ideas
The maker movement is now gaining ground in China and makerspaces
like Xinchejian and Seeed Studio are open to the public. A maker is
someone who builds, creates or hacks physical materials. They are
different from the traditional inventors who tinkered in garages.
Makers often use software to design objects to be produced by desktop
machines like 3-D printers. And they often cooperate and share their
ideas online. The Chinese government is supporting this movement by
building more government-supported innovation houses and organizing
maker carnivals. And it is hoped that this movement can help Chinese
industry move to a new stage. Although some observers see China’s
maker movement as producing copycat goods, Mr. Pan Hao, founder of
Seeed Studio, advises patience.

4. Comprehensive Practice
Cloze
Do you know what I’ve been doing I’ve been interacting with a

tree, getting it to talk. No, don’t laugh. It’s true. I’m not making
it up. The tree is the creation of someone in the maker movement. I
don’t know if you have taken an interest in the movement, but I find
it fascinating. It’s very popular in America and now it is gaining
ground in China. It is even receiving encouragement from the government,
which hopes it will help to transform the economy. The maker movement
brings together traditional craft skills with the very latest in
electronic technology to create something new. It does so by providing
places where makers can get together to learn new skills from one
another. Makers also encourage the sharing of ideas, rather than
working in secret. So why not give it a try If you like tinkering with
things you might end up inventing something even more surprising than
a talking tree!

Integrated Skills Practicing

I. Viewing & Listening
1. When I was very young, I was in love with animation. But I found
myself flowing more into sculpture, because I realized from my own
temperament, the effort and time involved to make the thing actually
move was about the same as the effort and time involved to make an
animation.
2. The stuff is all garbage. If it isn’t sorted in a way that makes
sense to me, then I’m just warehousing garbage. If things have their
place and I know where they are, then this is a stock pile of valuable
material. These things are treasures to me, but not if I can’t access
them and remember where they are.
3. I found myself in an interesting sort of gap between the maker
movement and the art world. The majority of people are excited about
it. But they want to know what’s it for. If you have to ask what’s
art for, then chances are you will never need art in your home.

There are many benefits ofto bringing the maker movement into the
classroom. First and foremost it calls for students to turn from being
passive users into active discoverers by stimulating their imagination
and creativity. It also allows students to work on “real life”
problems in a math or science classroom. This helps students realize
the practical aspects of education and can transform their motivation.
Moreover, students can learn how to interact with each other effectively,
generating a sense of engagement and mutual acceptance. Added to all
this, the completion of each project boosts the confidence of students
in their capacity to build something useful. In short, the maker

movement injects creativity, encouragement, the spirit of teamwork and
a sense of achievement into the classroom, opening up a vast and exciting
new frontier in the world of education. (137 words)
