One of you asks the first six questions and the other answers. Starting from question7, change roles. When you have finished, the teacher may want to put some of the questions to you to check your progress.
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 one can solve a problem effectively be oneself.
7. He means that this incident pointed to important
differences in educational and artistic practices between China and USA.
8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to
teach the child by guiding his hand is 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 are producing excellent 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 on 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. P25: Translation
