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.
