【正文】 lesson went on until there were sixtyone similar cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly like the one on the board.The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was greatly surprised. The teaching method was very different from that in her own country. A children’s art lesson in her own country produced a roomful of pictures, and each is quite different from others. Why? What makes this difference? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches not only knowledge of history or language. But also the ideas.In some countries such as the United States and Canada etc, people think highly of individualismthe differences between people. The teachers think it very important to make each student different from others. Educational systems in these countries don’t ask students to memorize dull information. Instead, students are asked to work by themselves and find answers themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas even at an early age.But in countries such as China and Japan, the two peoples have similar history and culture. Perhaps because of this, people think highly of group goals rather than individualism. Students in China and Japan often work together and help each other in the classroom, The teachers teach and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook. They do the same homework and give the same answers.There are advantages and disadvantages of both educational systems. For example, one advantage of that in Japan is that students there learn more maths and science than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than Americans. There is , however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of what they have learned. The advantage of the educational system in America is that students learn to think by themselves. The teaching method makes them be more creative. But there is also a disadvantage. When students leave high school, they haven’t learned as many things in the textbooks as the students in other countries.41.
