Question
Pair Work
1.
They
were
studying
arts
education
in
Chinese
kindergartens and
elementary schools in Nanjing.
2.
Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying
to
place
the
key
into
the
slot
of
the
key
box
during
their
stay
at the
Jinling Hotel.
3. They would
come
over to
watch Benjamin
and
then try
to
teach him how to do it properly.
4.
Because
he
realized
that
this
anecdote
was
directly
relevant
to
their
assigned
tasks
in
China:
to
investigate
early
childhood education
and to throw light on Chinese attitudes
toward creativity.
5.
Most
of
them
displayed
the
same
attitude
as
the
staff
at the
Jinling Hotel.
6. He emphasized
that the most important thing is to
teach the child that on can solve a
problem effectively by
oneself.
7. He means that this incident
pointed to important
differences
in
educational
and
artistic
practices
between
China and the USA.
8.
The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need
to teach the child by guiding his hand
in the characteristic
of
a
broader
attitude
to
education,
one
that
stands
in
contrast
to
the
Western
preference
for
leaving
the
child
to
explore
and
learn unaided.
9. One example is of children at
the age of 5 or 6
painting
flowers,
fish
and
animals
skillfully
and
confidently;
in a second example, calligraphers 9
and 10 years old were
producing
works;
and
in
a
third,
young
artists
work
on
perfecting their craft for several
hours a day.
10.
Americans
think
that
unless
creativity
has
been
acquired early, it may
never emerge, and skills can be picked
up
later.
Chinese
think
that
if
skills
are
not
acquired
early,
they may never be acquired, and there
is no hurry to promote
creativity.
11. This is mainly due to the
difference in their way of
thinking.
12. The author makes the suggestion
that we should strike
a better balance
between the poles of creativity and basic
skills.

To improve our English, it is critical
to do more reading,
writing, listening
and speaking. Besides, learning by heart
as
many
well-
written
essays
as
possible
is
also
very
important.
Without
an
enormous
store
of
good
English
writing
in
your
head
you cannot express
yourself freely in English. It is also
helpful to summarize our experience as
we go along, for in so
doing,
we
can
figure
out
which
way
of
learning
is
more
effective
and
will
produce
the
most
desirable
result.
As
long
as
we
keep
working
hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the
task
of mastering English.
