CHILDREN’S OPINIONS/IDEAS
1. When children should have their own ideas/ opinions? → Well, I suppose that children should be encouraged to form their own ideas when they start school. At that time, kids can not always be reliant on(1) their parents so it’s necessary to develop the ability to think for themselves and even make their own decisions in some cases.
2. What are the benefits when children have their own ideas/opinions? → An obvious advantage is that children will become more independent. Well, it’s true that there will not always be someone to guide or tell them what to do; therefore, developing their own ways of thinking will gradually help kids find solutions to their own problems later on
3. What are the responsibilities of teachers to help children develop their ideas/opinions? → Well, quite a tough question since I don’t usually spend time with children or teach them actually. But I guess the best way is to ask questions and give prompts(2) or examples so that they can spark ideas(3) themselves. On top of that, teachers also need to encourage them and let them be creative
4. Do you think children are taught to have the same ideas with their parents? → Honestly, I don’t agree with that. You know, there are always differences between generations. I mean, children are influenced by other people rather than just their parents and they will definitely have their own perspective(4) on life. Sometimes, they may come up with(5) different ideas from their parents, so forcing kids to think like adults only limits their imagination and creativity.

To get English fluency, you must have a lot of understandable repetitive listening. That is the
ONLY way. To be a FANTASTIC English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not with
your eyes. In other words, you must listen. Your ears are the key to excellent speaking.
What kind of listening is best? Well, it must be understandable and must be repetitive. Both of
those words are important-- Understandable and Repetitive.
If you don't understand, you learn nothing. You will not improve. That's why listening to English TV
does not help you. You don't understand most of it. It is too difficult. It is too fast.
Its obvious right? If you do not understand, you will not improve. So, the best listening material is
EASY. That’s right, you should listen mostly to easy English. Most students listen to English that is
much too difficult. They don’t understand enough, and so they learn slowly. Listen to easier English,
and your speaking will improve faster!
Understanding is Only Half The Formula.
Understanding is not enough. You must also have a lot of repetition. If you hear a new word only
once, you will soon forget it. If you hear it 5 times, you will still probably forget it!
You must hear new words and new grammar many times before you will understand them
instantly.
How many times is necessary? Most people must hear a new word 30 times to remember it forever.
To know a word and instantly understand it, you probably need to hear it 50-100 times!
