1. What do you think are the shortcomings of primary education in China?
1. 你认为中国小学教育的弊端在哪里?
I think the biggest problem is that our education is exam oriented. We take exams too seriously. All the subjects and contents taught are related to the exams. The study becomes pressure not pleasure to students. And sometimes we have too big classes in primary schools. The students can't get individual attention.
我认为最大的问题是我们的教育是应试教育。我们过于看重考试。所有教授的科目和内容都和考试有关。学习对于学生来说不是件愉快的事反而成了负担。而且有时小学里班级过大,学生都不能集中注意力。
2. Which one do you prefer: the school with single-sexed students or the one with both?
2. 单一制性别的学校或混合制性别的学校,你更喜欢哪一种?
I have never been to a single-sexed school. I prefer a school with both girls and boys. I think when one is growing up,it is important to learn to deal with the opposite sex. If you are in a single-sexed school, you will lose this opportunity. And I think one is prone to some psychological problems if living in an environment where there is only the same sex.
我从未进入到单一制性别的学校学习过。我更喜欢混合制学校。我想在一个人的成长过程中,学习怎样跟异性相处非常重要。如果在一个单一性别的学校,就失去了这样的机会。而且我认为在只有同一性别的环境中生活更容易患上心理疾病。
3. Do you think it's good for children to learn musical instruments?
3. 你觉得让孩子学习乐器是否有益?
It depends. It is good to learn some musical instruments if the children have an interest and a gift. It helps to develop the intelligence and cultivate the art feeling. But Parents shouldn't force their children to learn.
那取决于孩子自身。如果孩子有很大兴趣和天分,学习乐器对他们来说是有好处的。它能够促进智力发育、培养 对艺术的感觉。但是父母不应强迫孩子去学。
