【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school.

C Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time。 if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle…They pare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的 ) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.

Let Children Learn by Themselves D I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比薩餅 )? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the . if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃 早餐 ), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories(卡路里 ), still others just don’t like breakfast food. But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, , who developed the supereasy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories.
