【解析】听力原文：

Let children learn to judge their own work.A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time;if corrected too much,he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him used.Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s.

In the same way,children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught—to talk,run,climb,whistle,ride a bike—compare their own performance with those of more skilled people,and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him,or correct it unless he was made to.Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher.Let him do it himself.
