Early Education in China(中國的早期教育)

  Early Education in China
           Chinese are very generous while educating children. Not caring about the money, parents of-
ten send their children to the best schools or even abroad to study because they believe that the more
expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on
education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their children.
      However, the best early education is usually very cheap.
      Children's skills vary. Most parents fail to realize though,what children lack today is self-respect and self-confidence.
      The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and study well instead of the most important skills of being confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
      Cooking will improve many skills children need later in life. Though demanding patience and time, it is an enjoyable experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he works hard and gradually finishes his job successfully.His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
     Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set your child plays with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He may spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

中國的早期教育
    中國人在教育孩子方面非�？犊�。  父母們常常不吝惜金錢，把孩子送到最好的學校，甚至國外去學習。他們覺得越貴的教育越好。所以家長常常不惜重金投入教育。甚至貧困的父母都會為孩子購買電腦。
    但是，最好的早期教育通常并不昂貴。
    孩子們的能力各不相同。但是很多家長卻沒意識到： 現(xiàn)在孩子們真正缺乏的是自尊、自信。
    問題是，父母只知道教孩子怎么做選擇題，怎么學習好，而忽略了最重要的是如何教育他們成為自信、快樂、聰明的人。要達到這一目標，家長可以教給孩子像烹調(diào)，縫紉和一些其他家務(wù)勞動等實用技能。
    烹飪可以幫助孩子提高很多能力，而這些技能在他們以后生活中是十分必要的。雖然做飯對耐性、時間都有要求，但它也是一種愉快的體驗。一個好的廚師總是試圖提高廚藝，所以他會努力工作，從而逐步成功地完成他的工作。他的勞動成果，一頓豐盛的飯菜，會給他很大的滿足感和自信。
    孩子玩耍的壞收音機或電視機等一些舊電器會引起孩子的好奇，激發(fā)他的興趣。他可能一連幾小時琢磨或修理這些電器。這些活動不僅僅教會孩子讀書，還能教會他們?nèi)绾嗡伎�，如何用腦。這才是更重要的。
