How

to

improve

the

ability

oflistening,speaking,readingandwriting

I.

Introduction

The

purpose

of

middle

school

English

teaching

is

to

improve

the

students#39;

four

skills

of

listening,

speaking,

reading

and

writing,

with

the

base

of

necessary

phonetics,

large

vocabulary

and

good

grammar,

But

this

is

not

the

final

purpose.

The

final

purpose

is

to

lot

let

students

be

able

to

use

the

language.

Why

do

we

study

English?

If

a

man

is

only

good

at

listening

and

speaking,

can

we

say

that

he

is

good

at

English?

No,

If

a

man

is

only

good

at

reading

and

writing,

can

we

say

that

he

is

good

at

the

language?

No,

If

a

student

is

good

at

English,

he

should

be

able

to

use

the

language,

both

in

spoking

and

writing.

Now

most

of

the

students

do

better

in

reading

and

writing

English

than

in

listening

and

speaking.

They

can

read

and

write,

but

they

can

hardly

communicate.

They

can

hardly

express

themselves

with

their

own

words.

This

is

partially

because

of

our

examination

system,

and

partially

of

the

teaching

method

.

We

are

not

able

to

change

the

examination

system,

but

we

can

improve

our

teaching

method.

Most

of

all

the

teachers

like

to

provide

the

students

with

a

lot

of

knowledge-words,

phrases,

grammar,

usages

and

so

on,

They

are

focusing

these

thing,

especially

on

the

grammar.

Yes,

the

students

do

need

these,

but

many

teachers

forget

to

teach

them

how

to

study

English,

and

how

to

use

it.

So

when

you

are

giving

the

knowledge

to

the

students,

don#39;t

forget

to

teach

them

all

the

abilities

of

the

four

skills.

II.

Ways

on

developing

the

four

abilities

1.Listening

The

teachers

often

speak

of

the

four

skills-

listening,

speaking,

reading

and

writing.

That

means

each

of

them

is

important.

You

can#39;t

say

that

you

have

mastered

the

language

without

any

one

of

them,

Listening,

one

of

the

means

of

language

communication,

is

used

most

widely

in

people#39;s

daily

lives.

About

45%of

an

adult#39;s

time

concerns

listening

to

other

people

,

listening

to

the

radio,

listening

to

the

music.

In

linguistics

，giving

the

students

a

lot

of

listening

activities

is

a

good

way

of

enlarging

their

vocabulary.

On

the

other

hand,

it

also

helps

the

students

improve

their

listening

comprehension.

I

have

done

an

investigation.

About

43.2%

of

the

students

think

that

the

most

bothering

and

most

difficult

is

listening

comprehension,

and

even

some

of

them

have

difficulty

in

understanding

their

teacher

who

gives

lessons

in

English.

Without

question,

it

is

difficult

of

a

middle

school

student

to

understand

the

listening

material,

if

he

hasn#39;t

enough

vocabulary

and

the

ability

of

telling

the

grammar

construction.

In

my

investigation,

about

35%

of

the

students

with

low

listening

comprehension

thing

this

is

because

they

don#39;t

understand

or

know

the

knowledge

about

linguistic,

they

are

not

able

to

tell

the

means

of

a

what

they

have

heard.

In

my

another

investigation,

students

were

asked

to

listen

to

a

dialogue

of

244

words,

in

which

the

words

and

grammar

have

already

been

learned.

But

80%

of

them

thought

it

was

too

difficult.

Then,

using

the

same

dialogue

as

a

reading

comprehension

material,

I

found

only

5%

of

them

thought

it

was

a

little

difficult,

on

the

other

hand

the

response

ability

is

also

another

reason.

It

is

clear

that

the

reading

speed

of

a

material

also

affects.

About

43%

of

the

students

thought

that

the

material

was

read

too

fast

and

they

couldn#39;t

follow.

A

lot

of

students

have

their

own

listening

habits.

Some

students

often

tries

to

understand

each

word

or

each

sentence.

They

will

think

hard

when

they

meet

some

difficult

words

or

sentences,

and

a

great

many

students

could

understand

the

material

directly,

They

often

translate

the

English

into

Chinese

in

their

heart,

thinking

that

only

in

this

way

can

the

sentence

be

understood.

This

is

also

a

reason,

trying

to

understand

each

word

is

difficult,

and

it

is

not

necessary

at

all.

You

should

catch

the

most

important

points.

Then

how

to

improve

the

students#39;

listening

skill?

We

know

the

largest

difference

between

mother

language

learning

and

foreign

language

learning

is

the

environment.

A

child

can

soon

learn

his

mother

language

well.

He

has

heard

a

lot

before

he

can

say

something

and

walk.

Then

after

he

is

able

to

walk

and

say,

he

has

a

chance

of

listening

to

more.

Before

he

goes

to

school,

he

has

already

been

a

good

listener

and

speaker.

But

for

a

foreign

language,

you

can

meet

it

only

in

formal

places,

classes,

for

example,

otherwise,

you

can

hardly

have

a

chance

to

meet

it.

So

I

think

you

should

try

to

let

the

students

be

in

a

language

environment.

Let

the

students

grasp

the

phonetic

symbol.

I

think

the

phonetic

symbol

is

the

base.

A

good

intonation

and

phonetic

depends

on

the

base.

Oral

reading

after

a

radio

or

a

teacher

is

a

good

way

at

the

beginning,

Students

should

do

much

about

it.

Pay

attention

to

the

oral

reading

skill,

It

includes

stress,

strong

form,

weak

form,

intonation

incomplete

plosive

consonant,

affricate

consonant,

syllable

and

so

on.

Training

and

practicing

the

oral

reading

is

not

a

day#39;s

word.

The

teacher

must

give

correct

information

about

it

.

There

is

no

easy

way.

Enlarge

the

students#39;

knowledge

about

English.

Encourage

the

students

to

read

something

in

their

spare

time

about

geography,

history,

culture,

stories

and

so

on.

For

example,

there

are

two

materials

of

the

same

difficulty.

One

explains

something

about

China#39;s

Spring

Festival,

the

other

is

about

Thanks

giving

Day

of

the

western

countries.

The

former

is

easy

to

understand

but

the

latter

is

more

difficult.

Why?

It

is

clearly

because

the

students

know

little

about

the

latter.

Both

listening

test

and

listening

practice

are

necessary,

but

practice

is

more

important.

You

can

understand

your

students

through

listening

tests.

Only

through

the

practice

can

the

students

improve

their

listening

comprehension.

2.Speaking

Speaking

can#39;t

be

taught

separately.

It

is

often

connected

with

listening.

So

we

often

speak

of

listening

and

speaking.

The

traditional

way

of

listening

and

speaking

is

aural-oral

method.

Now,

the

new

method

of

two-way

communication

is

very

popular.

As

you

know

that

any

teaching

method

has

its

psychological

base.

The

aural-oral

method

began

in

the

1940#39;s.

It

is

based

on

behaviourism.

One

of

its

psychological

theory

is

that

learning

a

language

is

forming

a

set

of

new

language

habit.

This

is

its

usual

process:

Stimulus-Response-Reinforcement.

The

aural-oral

method

is

fit

for

the

teaching

of

beginning

stage.

It

focuses

on

the

practice

of

oral

English

drills.

But

too

many

drills

are

being

practiced

without

any

context

or

given

conditions.

So

what

is

learned

is

isolated

clauses.

And

it

has

few

communicative

functions

.

The

two-way

communication

makes

up

for

the

defect

in

communicative

ability

in

the

traditional

teaching.

Two-way

means

the

relationship

of

the

communication

between

the

teacher

and

the

students.

This

relationship

is

connected

with

the

communicative

activities

between

two

people.

This

method

is

different

from

the

traditional

aural-oral

method.

But

it

also

bases

on

the

process

of

S-R-R.

So

we

call

it

a

mew

type

of

aural-oral

method

has

some

peculiarities.

It

can

create

a

fresh

environment

for

speaking

English.

It

needs

some

necessary

explanations

of

Grammar,

including

some

sentence

structures.

Hints

are

the

major

way

of

practice.

Teachers

can

control

the

practice

wholly

or

partly.

The

practice

can

also

be

controled

by

students

freely.

The

internal

force

of

study

is

not

due

to

the

insterests

in

phonetic

structure,

but

the

content

of

the

material.

To

make

the

correct

response,

the

students

are

asked

to

pay

more

attention.

Example:

Teacher:

Ask

me

if

I

am

a

student.

Student:

Are

you

a

student?

T:

Tell

me-No,

You#39;re

a

teacher.

S:

No,

I#39;m

a

teacher.

In

this

example,

"Ask

me"

means

that

the

student

must

say

a

question

sentence

while

"Tell

me"

shows

that

the

student

must

say

a

decarative

sentence.

But

before

doing

this,

the

teacher

must

explain

something

about

the

exchange

of

interrogative

sentence

and

declarative

sentence.

The

two-way

communication

can

lengthen

the

dialogue

limitlessly.

This

is

its

advantage.

At

the

same

time,

if

the

student

wants

to

give

the

correct

response,

he

has

to

think

it

hard,

The

sentence

is

not

easily

forgotten

which

is

ereated

by

themselves

through

thinking,

sometimes

with

the

teacher#39;s

hint.

You

can

talk

freely.

You

can

express

yourself

as

well

as

you

can.

For

example:

T:

Ask

me

how

mang

people

there

are

in

my

family.

S:

how

many

people

are

there

in

your

family?

T:

Tell

me-there

are

five

S:

There

are

five

T:

Ask

me

what

my

prreuts

do.

S:

What

do

your

parents

do?

T:

tell

me-your

father

is

a

teacher

and

your

mother

works

in

a

company.

S:

My

father

is

a

teacher

and

my

mother

words

in

a

company.

T:

Ask

me

if

my

father

likes

his

job.

S:

Does

your

father

like

his

job.

T:

Tell

me

-

Sure,

he

likes

teaching

very

much.

S:

Sure,

he

likes

teaching

very

much.

All

these

responses

form

a

complete

dialogue.

A:

How

many

people

are

there

in

your

family

?

B:

There

are

five.

A:

What

do

your

parents

do

?

B:

My

father

is

a

teacher

and

my

mother

works

in

a

company.

A:

Does

your

father

like

his

job

?

B:

Sure,

he

likes

teaching

very

much.

If

you

want

to

ask

more

about

"father"

or

other

family

members,

the

dialogue

can

go

on

as

far

a

possible.

So,

in

a

word,

the

aural-oral

method

is

not

a

out-of-date

one,

but

a

useful

one.

Especially

it

is

fit

for

the

beginning

stage.

It

attaches

the

importance

to

the

oral

drills,

and

has

a

bad

communicative

function.

It

is

only

used

to

aphonetic

base.

After

all,

the

aim

of

the

language

learning

is

to

communicate.

So

the

two-way

comunication

is

more

effective

and

direct,

but

it

is

also

fit

for

the

beginning

stage.3.Reading

Reading

is

an

important

way

of

gaining

information

in

foreign

language

learning,

It

is

a

basic

skill

for

a

foreign

language

learner.

There

is

a

lot

of

reading

exercises

in

an

examination

today.

But

all

these

readings

must

be

done

in

limited

time.

So

students

are

asked

to

read

them

correctly

and

with

a

certain

speed.

To

do

this,

you

should

change

your

bad

reading

habit

and

raise

your

reading

efficiency.

New

words

prevent

you

from

reading

fast.

One

way

to

overcome

this

problem

is

to

guess.

There

are

many

ways

to

guess

the

meaning

of

a

new

word.

First

you

should

find

some

hints.

Context,

some

phrases,

such

as

"means",

"refer

to",

"in

other

words",

"That

is

to

sag";

are

all

the

hints.

Model

1.

A

middle-aged

professor

said

that

his

wife

was

too

extravant,

because

no

matter

how

much

he

give

her

for

the

household

expenses,

she

always

ran

short.

In

this

sentence,

the

meaning

of

the

word

"extravagant"

can

be

easily

guessed.

Model

2.

Prometheus

stayed

chaied

to

the

lock

for

many

years,

Then

at

last

the

mighty.

Hercules

came

forth

and

broke

the

bonds

-but

that

is

another

of

the

wonderful

stories

of

the

Greeks.

In

This

pargraph,

the

words

"stayed

chained"

is

the

hint

,

So

you

can

guess

what

"bonds"

means.

Model

3.

The

tiny

droplets

that

form

on

dust

particles

very

small

pieces

of

dust,

to

produce

a

cloud

are

far

apart

from

each

other.

In

this

sentence,

the

words

after

the

dash

shows

the

meaning

of

the

word

"partides"

(微粒)

Besides

the

ways

mentioned

above,

you

can

guess

according

to

the

word-formation,

for

example

Child-childless,

Marx-Marxism

Large-enlarge,

tell-foretell

Australian

satellite→

Aussate

State

run

→

state-run.

Sometimes

you

can#39;t

guess

what

the

word

means.

If

the

word

doesn#39;t

affect

your

reading,

let

it

be.

For

example,

A

German

told

me

that

all

over

China

they

use

Gourmet

powder

in

their

food.

It

will

give

you

higher

blood

pressure.

You

may

know

that

gourmet

it

a

kind

of

thing

that

can

be

eat.

But

it

doesn#39;t

matter

whether

you

know

what

it

is.

Another

problem

that

affect

your

reading

speed

is

you

reading

habit

and

you

reading

skill.

Some

one

reads

word

by

word.

Some

one

reads

with

his

finger

pointing

to

the

words

or

with

his

head

shaking.

Those

are

all

bad

habits.

You

should

read

phrase

by

phrase.

Don#39;t

blink

your

eyes

so

often

and

don#39;t

shake

you

head.

Just

move

your

eyeball.

That#39;s

enough.

If

you

want

to

get

more

word

information,

there

must

be

a

proper

distance

between

your

eyes

and

the

reading

material.

I

think

browsing

is

an

important

step

while

you

are

doing

you

reading

comprehension.

Some

students

begin

to

read

at

once

when

he

get

a

reading

material,

even

without

knowing,

its

title.

But

after

reading

for

many

times,

he

won#39;t

understand

what

the

article

says.

Looking

through

the

material

first

means

forereading.

In

an

examination,

you

want

to

grain

the

information

which

the

questions

ask,

you

can#39;t

read

the

material

in

a

usual

way,

you

can#39;t

read

the

whole

material

word

by

word.

You

gad

have

to

omit

some

sentence,

sometimes

even

a

whole

paragraph,

which

have

nothing

to

do

with

the

questions.

I

think

you

might

read

the

given

questions

fast

as

well,

then

the

material.

There

is

an

advantage

to

do

this.

When

you

read

the

material

with

the

questions,

you

can

save

your

time.

Model:

A

Festival

Atmosphere.

At

midnight

[Abstract]

In

the

last

few

years,

with

the

development

of

diathetic

education

has

stricken

root

into

the

hearts

of

the

people,

the

family

education

has

been

a

hot

spot

of

society,

in

which

tens

of

thousands

of

families#39;

vital

benefits

and

lie.

Because,

good

family

education

is

closely

related

to

children#39;s

quality

and

behaviour,

and

related

to

the

future

of

our

country.

At

present,

the

situation

of

family

education

is

good,

large

number

of

parents

and

schools

have

created

successful

experience,

even

many

parents

study

the

family

knowledge

initiatively,

the

educational

idea

has

undergone

the

profound

change.

Nevertheless,

the

family

education

is

still

a

weak

link,

particularly,

As

the

Western

educational

thought

is

penetrating

through

the

East

and

facing

the

traditional

and

modern

thought

about

family

education,

the

Chinese

parents

are

torn

between

the

two

choices.

Therefore,

developing

family

education

is

either

an

opportunity,

or

a

challenge.

Moreover,

Chinese

and

the

Western

family

education

each

has

its

own

good

points,

but

in

different

aspects,

the

educational

methods

are

different,

so

we

need

to

understand

the

differences

between

Chinese

make

and

push

in

摘要

]

近几年来，随着素质教育的深入人心，家庭教育已经成为当今社会关注的一个热点，是千万家庭的切身利益和迫切需求所在。因为，良好的家庭教育直接关系到了孩子的素质和品行，更关系到祖国的未来。就中国目前来看，家庭教育的发展态势良好，一大批家长、学校创造了成功的经验，更有许多学生家长主动学习家庭教育知识，教育观念发生了深刻变化。但是尽管如此，家庭教育仍是一个薄弱环节，尤其是随着西方教育思想的传入，中国家长面对传统与现代家教思想，表现出无所适从的无奈。因此，对于开展家庭教育，既是机遇，又是挑战。而且，中西家庭教育各有千秋，在不同方面，教育方法也不同，所以我们就需要深刻了解中西家庭教育的差异，取长补短，并且不失时机地推进家庭教育现代化，这样中国的未来才具有不可估量的发展前景。

From

ancient

times

to

modern

times,

family

education

has

been

playing

an

important

role

in

the

national

educational

cause.

A

great

man-Xiaoping

Deng

said,

“The

basis

of

a

country#39;s

modernization

lies

in

talents,

the

basis

of

talents

lies

in

education,

and

the

basis

of

education

lies

in

family.

China

is

a

country

with

emphasis

on

the

home

education.

The

outstanding

home

education

in

the

deep

education

culture.”

The

family

education,

the

school

education

and

the

social

education

are

the

three

big

props

of

education.

They

are

indispensable.

Nowadays,

increasing

attention

has

been

paid

to

family

education

by

the

modern

society,

and

it

gets

a

hot

spot

of

society,

which

is

closely

related

to

tens

of

thousands

of

families#39;

vital

benefits

and

urgent

need.

At

present,

family

education

maintains

a

good

momentum

of

growth

in

China.

It

gets

more

and

more

important

to

Chinese

families.

Throughout

the

ages,

many

men

of

insight

work

delightly

in

the

field

of

home

education,

and

accumulate

quite

substantial

achievements.

And

China

is

an

oriental

country

with

a

long

history,

its

deep

educational

culture

includes

the

elements

of

excellent

family

education.

As

we

all

know,

China’s

ancient

educatinal

thought

want

through

the

ancient

family

educational

field.[

“Family

Instruction

of

Yan”

,

Zhitui

Yan,

Southern

and

Northern

Dynasties]

For

example:

moral

instructions

first;

the

respect

for

old;

the

care

for

the

young;

the

cultivation

of

moral

character;

example

setting;

the

determination

of

being

strong;

learned

profound

knowledge,

careful

consideration;

and

so

on.

These

outstanding

thoughts

are

go

back

to

ancient

times.

Nevertheless,

there

are

still

a

lot

of

problems

emerging

out

in

that

family

education,

which

is

still

weak.

The

education

expert

concerned,

who

made

the

long-term

pursuit

of

investigations,

thought

that

2/3

family

education

is

improper.

All

the

analysis

justifies

the

conclusion

:

the

first,

malignant

events

erupt

unceasingly.

It

not

only

indicates

the

importance

of

family

education,

but

indicates

the

importance

and

necessity

of

carrying

on

scientific

family

education;

the

second,

in

current

home

education,

there

is

still

erroneous

zone.

It

may

be

summarized

as

“three

excess”

and

“one

excessive

height”:

that

is

,

quite

some

parents

are

excessively

concerned

with

the

children,

excessively

reatrain

and

nosed

into

the

children#39;s

affairs,

excessively

chatter

and

criticize

the

children,

and

something

excessive

is

expected

of

the

childern.

These

problems

are

in

need

of

immediate

solution;

The

third,

under

the

market

economy

condition,

there

is

the

multiple

concept

of

value,

the

only

child

community

grows

as

well

as

the

divorce

families

increase

and

so

on,

all

this

brings

about

many

unprecedented

new

situations

and

new

problems;

The

fourth,

rural

population

account

for

80%,

the

countryside

housing

disperses,

the

condition

is

bad,

guardian#39;s

cultural

quality

is

somewhat

low,

the

countryside#39;s

family

education

has

become

the

key

and

difficult

point

n

developing

family

education

.

And

at

the

same

time,

with

the

development

of

educational

cause,

Western

educational

thoughts

penetrate

slowly

through

the

East.

When

facing

the

traditional

and

modern

thoughts,

chinese

parents

are

at

a

loss

as

to

what

to

choose.

Therefore,

directing

at

some

bad

phenomena,

we

regard

it

as

necessary

to

make

a

comparison

between

chinese

family

education

and

western

family

education.

But,

before

the

comparison,we

need

to

know

about

the

social

background

of

China

and

Western

Countries.

As

we

all

know,

China

is

a

socialist

country

and

most

Western

countries

belong

to

capitalist

countries.

And,

they

have

different

history

and

cultures.

China

advocates

Confucianism

and

the

western

countries

advocate

the

revival

of

literature

and

art.

But

the

most

important

point

is

that

their

attitude

towards

the

position

of

family

institution#39;s

position

is

also

different.

In

china#39;s

traditional

family,

parents#39;

authoritative

consciousness

plays

a

leading

role

while

western

civilizations

mainly

emphasize

struggle,

equality,

democracy

and

human

rightshome

Of

course,

home

education

is

a

kind

of

humanity#39;seducational

practice.

China

and

the

Western

family

education

have

many

things

in

common.

Generally

speaking,

it

can

be

summed

up

as

follows1st,

emphasis

is

laid

on

family

education.

No

matter

which

country

you

come

from,

what

nationality

you

belong

to

all

think

the

family

is

a

person#39;s

first

school,

and

the

parent

is

the

first

teacher.

Either

China

or

Western

countries,

either

the

ancient

times

or

the

modern

times,

family

education

is

always

in

the

most

fundamental

position.

2nd,

family

education

should

be

started

since

childhood,

perform

the

duty

promptly.

Family

instruction

of

Yan

said

that,“

The

parents

should

do

the

missionary

work,

when

the

infant

is

young.

Judging

from

his

facial

expression,

we

know

whether

he

is

angry

or

happy,

then

give

instructions.”[

“Family

Instruction

of

Yan”

,

Zhitui

Yan,

Southern

and

Northern

Dynasties]

Because

“it’s

easy

to

concentrate

a

child’s

attention.

After

he

grows

up,

his

attention

is

easily

dispersed,

so

a

child

must

be

caught

early.”

Dewey

also

thought

the

family

education

should

be

executed

early.

3rd,

parents#39;

unsuilable

role

division

in

education

brings

about

some

bad

results.

Either

in

China

or

in

the

West

mother

is

almost

described

in

many

cultures

as

the

main

fosterer,

and

then

father

plays

only

a

part.

The

father

is

the

main

undertaker

who

teaches

the

child

to

know

the

rationality

education.

Mother

is

responsible

for

child#39;s

food

and

drink

in

daily

life,

the

material

guarantee,

the

emotional

satisfaction

and

so

on,

is

also

the

main

undertaker

of

child’s

emotional

cultivation.

Its

result

is

that

the

child

holds

his

father

in

awe

and

veneration

and

causes

the

poor

relation

between

child

and

father,

and

thus

affects

child#39;s

perfect

development.

4th,

pay

attention

to

the

training

the

children’s

longing

for

knowledge,

value

reading.

The

Chinese

parents

of

ancient

times,

fully

realized

this

truth,

they

guided

the

childern

in

reading

the

Four

Books

and

the

Five

Classics

when

they

are

young,

all

the

various

schools

of

thought,

stimulated

their

desire

for

seeking

knowledge.

The

western

parents

also

focus

on

family

reading.

The

childern

must

listen

to

section

of

stories

before

sleeping,

and

this

is

a

fine

tradition

of

Western

family

education.

5th,

attach

importance

to

teaching

by

personal

example

as

well

as

verbal

instruction.

The

parents

are

child#39;s

models,

usually

a

simple

movement

is

more

effective

than

the

inculcation

of

ten

thousand

instructions.

However,

the

traditional

family

education

in

China,

on

account

of

the

respective

differences

in

more

aspects

is

different

from

that

in

the

West

.

They

have

their

own

characteristics

between

regions

and

cultures.

To

begin

with,

the

tendency

of

education

is

different.

The

Chinese

parents

lay

emphasis

on

social

enlightenment,

ignore

the

growth

of

children.

The

Chinese

parents

take

the

social

compatible

enlightenment

seriously,

but

often

neglect

the

development

of

children#39;s

characteristics,

they

often

train

the

children

under

established

forms

,

and

lay

down

the

broad

road

for

their

growth.

The

western

parents

provide

the

children

a

environment

for

growth

resistant

to

them,

and

foster

their

tenacious

individuality

and

the

good

conduct,

and

they

choose

their

idea

and

way

of

cultivation

according

to

the

change

of

society

and

the

characteristic

of

children

physical

and

mental.

Secondly,

the

value

of

family

education

is

different.

The

function

of

China’s

family

education

is

forced

by

the

China’s

traditional

culture.

The

Chinese

traditional

Confucian

culture

emphasize

“the

cultivation

of

one’s

moral

character,

the

running

of

one’s

family,

the

administration

of

a

state,

the

peace

and

security

of

the

world”.

In

this

directional

thought,

the

family

education

is

bestowed

on

the

direct

social

significance.

In

addition,

the

Chinese

traditional

culture

also

regards

the

family

education

and

children#39;s

individual

growth

as

the

direct

correlative

causes

and

effects.

The

Chinese

parents

care

about

the

reputation

in

educating

the

child,

thinking

educating

the

child

to

become

a

useful

person

is

their

achievement,

but

if

not,

the

parents

feel

shameful.

The

education#39;s

goal

is

for

earning

their

living,

for

honor.

The

western

family

education

is

different

from

china

in

the

educational

goal.

Education

is

not

the

preparation

for

earning

their

living,

but

for

survival.

“The

learned

education”

they

emphasize

has

the

value

of

molding

one’s

mind,

one

kind

of

value

which

has

nothing

to

do

with

the

utility

or

the

occupation

consideration

Perhaps

many

Chinese

parents

deny

this

point,

and

think

that

I

am

talking

nonsense

and

do

not

respect

the

elder.

But

the

fact

is

actually

so.

As

is

known,

the

parents

usually

discuss

their

own

child,

and

compare

other

child

with

their

own

child.

Especially,

the

child#39;s

study

is

considered

as

the

object

of

comparison.

I

have

a

neighbor,

whose

child

just

goes

to

the

elementary

school.

But

the

child

has

carried

his

big

bag

to

make

up

his

lesson

every

day

and

everywhere.

Because,

my

neighbor

had

chats

with

his

friend

one

day,

and

his

friend

told

him,

his

child,

who

had

not

gone

to

school,

could

know

300

Chinese

Characters,

but

also

could

read

the

ancient

poetry,

and

let

the

child

perform

on

the

scene.

Told

of

this,

my

friend

was

stimulated.

Due

to

his

child

is

same

age

with

that

child,

he

was

much

more

anxious,

and

brought

a

book

to

test

the

child’s

intelligence

according

to

the

way

in

this

book.

Besides

these,

if

other’s

child

won

the

first

prize,

he

would

have

the

nightmare

in

the

evening,

because

his

child

always

came

at

the

20th

of

the

list

in

the

elementary

school.

When

the

child

goes

to

college,

the

parents’

comparison

is

more

intense.

“Which

university

does

your

child

attend?”

If

the

child

studies

in

Qinghua,

Beijing

University,

or

other

famous

universities,

the

parents

will

take

a

pride

in

their

child;

if

the

child

has

not

been

ma
