   76  . Not caring about the money, parents in China often send their children to the best schools or even abroad like England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.    77  .

Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others.    78  . Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time.    79  . A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.

An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with may 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.

   80  . And that is more important.

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

F.   These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, and to use his mind.

Some students thought that they can learn English well if they remember the grammar rules and learn by hearts as much words as they can. And I don’t quite agree with them. Learning rules from a grammar book and remember long lists of words are not enough. We must learn by                 

listening to, speaking, reading and writing. We should practice our spoken English both in and out class, and try to read and listen whenever possible. This is also helpful to keep diaries and write letters or shortly stories in English. Only with this way can we learn English well.
