2、 Cloze
Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.
中国与西方的学习方式有什么区别吗？尽管我们试图去避免夸大他们之间的不同时，但是不同还是存在的。例如，在中国，人们优先考虑的是在早年进行技艺的学习。另一方面，美国人更加注重小孩子的创造力的发展，然后才是技艺的学习。但孩子们在完成某件事情时，美国的父母认为孩子们应该学会自己解决问题，他们会尽量避免早早地向孩子们提供帮助。有时，这个方法会让那些经常“手把手教育”的父母误会这些父母在消极怠工。这两种方法都有他们的可取之处和不好的地方，也许，找到一个将二者合二为一的办法能更好。

要求我们提高我们的英语水平，关键是多读、多写、多听、多说、此外，尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。如果你脑子里没有储存大量好的英语文章，你就不能用英语自由地表达自己的思想。一边学一边总结经验也很有帮助，因为这样做，我们就能搞明白哪种学习方法是更有效的，能够产生最理想的效果，只要我们坚持努力学习，到时候我们就会完成掌握英语的任务。
To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.
