In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, US boys and girls have their own dream jobs, such as actors, doctors even president(总统). So US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds ofactivities at school.But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams. They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time. This has put too much pressure(压力) on Chinese children, so leaders in China’s education have called for less homework at the lower grades. Only healthy kids can become healthy adults.( )1.

Take the sentence “How do you do?”as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I’ve seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实际) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
