Also known as liberal arts education, it refers to skills that may not be directly used to make a living, including mathematics, natural philosophy, philosophy, history, art, music and other humanities. The author said that in ancient Greece, slaves also received education, but mainly the skills of making a living. Because they are not free men, they don't have the mentality of being social masters, and they don't have to worry about what free men have to worry about. They learn what free men have to learn and exercise their rights as social masters. Therefore, in ancient Greece, whether to receive general education was the basis for distinguishing free people from slaves. If a person wants to become an elite in society, he must first become a spiritual elite, so that he can think in an elite way and do things with a master's attitude, thus surpassing ordinary people.
2. 1 American Chinese education emphasizes the ability of oral expression, the ability to read serious books, the ability to deeply understand the author's thoughts, and the ability to use Chinese in life.

3. 1 Write about scenery: Feeling in scenery is a good tool to describe psychology.
3.2 Narration: sequence, flashback and overlapping narration. Overlapping narrative is usually preceded by flashback and followed by sequence. The key is to adjust the anchor point, because this is the place to meet the readers and it must be attractive. Secondly, there needs to be a climax that is more important than the anchor point, so that the work can end in the climax. The author mentioned that overlapping narrative can also be used in reports. If you want to report some troubles or difficulties, tell everyone the bad news first, and then tell the reason. But the story is not over, and finally a solution will be given, which is to push the story to a climax with good news.
4. 1 diary
4. 1. 1 generally includes work diaries, reading experiences and gains, and special experiences (especially the feelings of failure experiences). As for the reading experience, the author thinks that people's memory declines after the age of 25. With forgetting, many memories will be specious. This vague impression is sometimes more harmful than not knowing, because it will make people stubborn and self-righteous.
4. 1.2 Improve the Chinese level from three aspects: observation ability (find an important record for yourself every day), analysis ability (opinions on one thing) and expression ability (short essays with clear structure and logic).
4.2 mail
4.2. 1 If blank is needed, be sure to write it.
For example, the boss promises to promote you after completing a certain project. Maybe he has seriously considered it, but it has been half a year since the project was completed, and the company's situation may have changed. By this time, you may have considered promoting others or something. You can only give up if you ask him, because he has no evidence. The best way for this is to write him an email in the name of thanks after the speech. Let me put it this way:
Thank the leaders for trusting me, giving me such an important task and promising to promote me after completing the task. I will try my best to complete the task and live up to your expectations and training.
At this time, as long as the boss doesn't say "I'm not going to promote you", it means acquiescence to everything you say. Similarly, many people seek high positions and get relatively low offer when applying for jobs. If the other party gives reasons, such as: "We have a three-month probation period. If there is no problem during this period, we will give you the higher-level position you want, don't worry. " At this time, you might as well write an email directly to the other person in charge, which can be written like this:
According to our telephone conversation, I understand that the position of department manager given to me at present is only a probation period of the first three months. After three months, as long as I'm still in the company, my official position will be department head. Please confirm that my understanding is correct.
At this time, as long as they want you to go, they will definitely confirm it. You haven't left yet, but they are begging you. You should make it clear, express it clearly, and don't mention it.
4.2.2 Memos that must be written but people are too lazy to write must be written.
After a meeting in a standardized company or department, someone should send a memo to tell everyone the contents and conclusions discussed at the meeting. Everyone is too lazy to do it, but the last question is often forgotten in the second meeting. At this time, you might as well undertake this task, which has two advantages: 1) Let people in the department, especially the superior leaders, pay attention to themselves, because they really need such a written material; 2) Be able to think from the perspective of the whole department. If a person really wants a promotion and wants to manage a larger department, he should start by doing such things.
5. The art of1:Indians have a high proportion of CEOs in multinational companies, and they usually have strong expression skills. They put a lot of thought into the production of PPT and how to express it clearly, and they will also do a lot of rehearsals.
To achieve good oral expression: 1) Only talk about the most important topics; 2) If you can make it clear, if you can't make it clear, or spend too much time, in this world, it's not that you have done a great thing and told everyone that you are great, but that everyone understands your contribution and has no objection, even if it doesn't seem that big. On the contrary, if you do something awesome and can't explain it clearly for a long time, you must still say that others will doubt your ability; 3) Others don't talk about the uniqueness of their foreheads.
5.2 PPT presentation: The number of PPT should not exceed the number obtained by dividing the speaking time (in minutes) by two.
