  Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the USA or Australia.They also want their children to take extra courses or activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life.  1   So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education.  2  

  However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

  Parents can see that their children's skills vary.Some children are skilled in some areas while poor in others.  3  

  The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but not teaching them the most important skills:they need to be confident, happy and clever.

  Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

  Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.  4   It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.

  Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest.he will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.  5   And that is more important.

A.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

B.These activities are teaching a child not only to read a book, but also to think, to use his mind.

C.What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.

D.Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

E.The more cost in education, the better the result will be.

F.Cooking demands patience and time.

    A relative of mine once asked me: “Why should a Chinese take time to learn a language that is not his own?” Obviously he has ___37___ in learning a foreign language. He is not the only one who is mentally against English learning. One reason, as I suspect, is the way English is taught. The emphasis on memorization is such that no ___38___ is left in the process, only endless irritation. What students are presented in the classroom is not the language in real-world ___39___. A Chinese student with extremely high scores for American standardized tests was ___40___ into one of the most famous universities. But his professors soon found out that he could ___41___ understand them in the classroom. Suspecting that he ___42___ in the tests, the school demanded he repeat them. Again, he passed with high scores. Not till then did they realize that the student had mastered the techniques for dealing with the tests, not ___43___ the skills of using the language.

  Many people take TOFEL, IELTS, GRE, annual Band 4 and Band 6 exams not because they work in areas where English is a ___44___ tool, but because they have to do it for job promotion or enrolment in certain programmes.

  Must English learning be such a pain in the neck?

  Create a(n)___45____ where learning English is natural and painless. Don't make it compulsory for people whose work or major does not require it. China will not become more international by adding millions of people who can only say a simple "Hello."
