However, we can't think that the source of electricity is this universal plug. In fact, the plug can't supply electricity, and English can't give people ideas and creativity. Representatives of competitiveness: personality quality, knowledge connotation, work attitude, logic, thinking, imagination, creativity, etc. English is just one of them, not the only one. "Education cannot be rushed. Cultivating children's English ears will not happen overnight. What we need to do is to spend more time and energy on "gnawing" story books and "waiting" for children's English ability. This is the preface of the book "Cultivating Children's English Ears" by Ms. Wang Peizeng, a writer from Taiwan Province Province. She received a master's degree in business administration from St. John's University in the United States. After working in a bank for nine years, she decided to become a full-time mother. In the process of growing up with a pair of children, she saw that the children were happy, eager to learn and kind to others, and deeply felt the importance of "using the right method" in parenting education. The book "Cultivating Children's English Ears" records the mother's experience of insisting on reading English story books to her children from infancy. 1. If you plan to let your child learn a language, the sooner you get in touch with it, the better; No matter which race children are born, if they are in a certain language environment, they will naturally acquire this language. When she was a baby, Ms. Wang read Chinese story books and English story books to her baby. Can the child understand? "Anyway, children of this age will only smile at you. No one knows how much they have heard. Is there any difference between Chinese and English? In fact, parents should not haggle over every ounce about "what did the child learn?" "Things are often carried out in secret in a relaxed mood that goes with the flow. 2. Children grow up slowly, and so do English story books. From less to more, the plot is simple and the road is complicated. As a child, Ms. Wang read story books, the first time she read English, and then translated it into Chinese, probably three times. Basically, she can leave Chinese behind and read it directly in English, and the baby will understand it very well. According to Ms. Wang's observation, the baby can still keep interested in the story books that have been read repeatedly and never give up. Finally, the baby can recite every story book. Her children didn't go to kindergarten until they were 5 years old. Before that, their main activities every day were: listening to mother's stories before going to bed in the morning, at noon and at night. When the child was about 4 years old, the original English tapes were added and became "mother reading" and "children listening". Her four-year-old son took a story book, sat down in front of the tape recorder, put in the tape, and began to turn over the books in an orderly way. Incredibly, he not only listened, but also read the whole story book at a speed completely synchronized with the tape speed. The answer is: insist on reading English stories to children. More than thirty books are almost all based on adventure stories. This sounds like an interesting book. When I arrived at the bookstore, it was full of chapters and stories. Unexpectedly, it took me half an hour to read it in one breath that night, and the two children couldn't stop reading chapter by chapter. In the second grade of primary school, after a period of time, in an unexpected state, Ms. Wang suddenly found that her daughter, who used to listen to stories with her ears and look at pictures with her eyes, actually took the initiative to read the words in English storybooks (literacy skills were learned in kindergarten). Her daughter thinks it is too slow to listen to her mother's story book, so she might as well read it happily. 6. "Yes! Yes! Mom, don't worry. I'll be fine. Take the tape home, because there is only one tape recorder in hand, and the two brothers and sisters can only listen to one ear. They listened to all six tapes under difficult circumstances. Now one child goes to high school and one child goes to junior high school. He can understand foreigners and communicate easily. From Ms. Wang's personal experience, the following points can be summarized: 1. Listening to stories makes children grow up and their familiarity with English is greatly improved. The English blind spot of our generation is that we haven't heard enough and are unfamiliar with it, so that our English listening is generally poor. I can't even hear a language well, let alone speak it. Therefore, the practice of "listening" should be the first priority. At the same time, listening to the original recording and learning pure pronunciation is equivalent to hiring a private secretary to tutor at any time. In addition, children who often listen to English, even if there is no English environment for the time being, will explode their accumulated potential more quickly as long as the opportunity comes. 2. In a slightly famous English cram school, when the children are in class, the mother must sit in a row and listen to the class; If the child doesn't study well, the teacher will scold his mother behind his back. This means that the child went home and the mother didn't urge the review. Come to think of it, there are many jobs around us that don't need English, but English is very important because it is indispensable for successful work. However, we don't know what kind of people our children will become in the future and what kind of road they will take. It is worth considering that we should exchange affection, happiness and self-confidence for unpredictable English ability as soon as possible. Therefore, let children learn English in a happy atmosphere. Although children only value the "story" and understand the story in English, their interests and nature will naturally show, not be suppressed and distorted, and their English ears are also waking up secretly. ...
