The Argen\u00adtine Primera Divisi\u00f3n is final\u00adly here. A few days ago, I dis\u00adcussed some ques\u00adtions with some moth\u00aders online. I was very ner\u00advous to come here. Direc\u00adtor Yang said that the moth\u00aders here are very knowl\u00adedge\u00adable. I\u2019m just an ordi\u00adnary father, so I was very ner\u00advous to come here. So I checked it out online before\u00adhand and dis\u00adcussed it with every\u00adone. Dur\u00ading the dis\u00adcus\u00adsion, some moth\u00aders were more or less skep\u00adti\u00adcal. Is this the Argen\u00adtine Primera Divisi\u00f3n? Is it real? I had to come here to ver\u00adi\u00adfy it, and it\u2019s the real deal.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nYes\u00adter\u00adday I went from Bei\u00adjing to Guangzhou, and today I arrived in Shen\u00adzhen. I am very hap\u00adpy to have this oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to share with you. My top\u00adic today is \u201cHow to play with pic\u00adture books?\u201d \u201cPlay\u201d may not sound so dif\u00adfi\u00adcult. Of course, there are high and low ways to play. We can try it today. If it is not high enough, we can raise it a bit.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nToday I will share three top\u00adics:<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThe first top\u00adic is: What is the con\u00adnec\u00adtion between pic\u00adture books and chil\u00addren\u2019s read\u00ading? Why do chil\u00addren\u2019s read\u00ading pro\u00admot\u00aders always bring them up? We did\u00adn\u2019t read these things as chil\u00addren, but we were fine, weren\u2019t we? Why is it being dis\u00adcussed so heav\u00adi\u00adly today?<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThe sec\u00adond top\u00adic was also spe\u00adcial\u00adly pre\u00adpared for today\u2019s lec\u00adture \u2014 the ten secrets of play\u00ading with pic\u00adture books. Because it is still being refined, it can only be the V1.0 Beta ver\u00adsion, just a tri\u00adal ver\u00adsion. I don\u2019t know every\u00adone\u2019s basic sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion very well. If you think there are some points in the lec\u00adture that need in-depth dis\u00adcus\u00adsion, or if there are some unclear points, you can inter\u00adrupt at any time and bring it up for us to dis\u00adcuss togeth\u00ader. In fact, it is not impor\u00adtant whether a lec\u00adture fin\u00adish\u00ades the con\u00adtent or not. What is impor\u00adtant is whether every\u00adone can com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate and gain some\u00adthing.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThird, we spent a lot of time talk\u00ading about how to play pic\u00adture books. Why do we play like this?<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nAlthough every\u00adone knows me to some extent, to be hon\u00adest, some\u00adtimes even I don\u2019t know myself very well, so I have to intro\u00adduce myself. There are many ver\u00adsions of self-intro\u00adduc\u00adtion. I have pre\u00adpared three ver\u00adsions, and today I will tell you two ver\u00adsions. The first one is an alle\u00adgor\u00adi\u00adcal ver\u00adsion. Who is Ajia? Who can tell? I don\u2019t know either. I went to my daugh\u00adter\u2019s sec\u00adond grade class:<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cWho are you? Intro\u00adduce your\u00adself.\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cMy name is Li Ziheng.\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cWho is Li Ziheng?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nIt\u2019s hard to say. \u201cLi Ziheng is a stu\u00addent in a cer\u00adtain class, study\u00ading in Bei\u00adjing\u2026 He\u2019s from Earth, from the Milky Way.\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cThen what are we going to do on Earth?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nHe said, \u201cMy moth\u00ader gave birth to me, and I can\u2019t do any\u00adthing about it.\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cNow that you\u2019re out, you have to find some\u00adthing to do.\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nPlay\u00ading, study\u00ading, etc.\u2014what are we all doing? What are we born for, after all this time? I thought my ques\u00adtions were sil\u00adly, but then I dis\u00adcov\u00adered there was some\u00adone just as sil\u00adly as me (Dali B the rab\u00adbit). He\u2019s young and strong, except I don\u2019t have his big ears. So, I\u2019d say he\u2019s an \u201cold rab\u00adbit.\u201d He\u2019s con\u00adfused, just like me, con\u00adstant\u00adly won\u00adder\u00ading, \u201cThis is a pic\u00adture book. How could it be a shame not to read the cov\u00ader?\u201d First, let\u2019s share some com\u00admon sense: you must read from front to back. This cov\u00ader is real\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00ading, and there\u2019s even a dust jack\u00adet.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThis is often over\u00adlooked. We usu\u00adal\u00adly call it the end\u00adpa\u00adpers, or the but\u00adter\u00adfly pages. The sto\u00adry often begins here, with a sil\u00adly rab\u00adbit liv\u00ading in such a sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion. \u201cI Don\u2019t Know Who I Am\u201d is usu\u00adal\u00adly called the title page. When read\u00ading with chil\u00addren, we often include it\u2014text by (UK) Jon Black, illus\u00adtra\u00adtions by (Ger\u00admany) Axel Schef\u00adfler. Why read this? Actu\u00adal\u00adly, it\u2019s quite use\u00adful. If you\u2019re famil\u00adiar with pic\u00adture books, you\u2019ll know that Axel Schef\u00adfler (Ger\u00admany) has illus\u00adtrat\u00aded oth\u00ader books you might be famil\u00adiar with, such as \u201cThe Gruffa\u00adlo,\u201d \u201cThe Gruffa\u00adlo and Lit\u00adtle Girl,\u201d and \u201cThe Lit\u00adtle House Becomes the Big House.\u201d This is the first episode of \u201cSmart Beans.\u201d For those who pre\u00adfer nov\u00adels, there\u2019s a book called \u201cRun\u00adning Pig Lulu,\u201d also illus\u00adtrat\u00aded by him.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cI Don\u2019t Know Who I Am\u201d\u2014This image is very strange. Have you ever seen a rab\u00adbit like this? It\u2019s sit\u00adting on a tree, just like me stand\u00ading on the podi\u00adum now. It\u2019s very awk\u00adward.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B does\u00adn\u2019t know who he is<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cAm I a mon\u00adkey?\u201d he said.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cAm I a koala?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cAm I a por\u00adcu\u00adpine?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nI often ask myself, who am I? A father? An expert? Actu\u00adal\u00adly, the word \u201cexpert\u201d is a bit insult\u00ading, because besides read\u00ading to chil\u00addren, I can also do gro\u00adceries and cook. It\u2019s not like I only know one thing, so who am I? Ulti\u00admate\u00adly, we\u2019ve set\u00adtled on \u201cpro\u00admot\u00ader of chil\u00addren\u2019s read\u00ading.\u201d What exact\u00adly is a pro\u00admot\u00ader of chil\u00addren\u2019s read\u00ading? Nei\u00adther the Per\u00adson\u00adnel Bureau nor the Labor Bureau can find what that job is, so I\u2019m very con\u00adfused.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B did\u00adn\u2019t know where he should live.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nShould I live in a cave?\u201d he said.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cShould I live in a bird\u2019s nest?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cShould I live in a spi\u00adder\u2019s web?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n(Only in pic\u00adture books do you see it liv\u00ading in dif\u00adfer\u00adent places. I also ask myself: Should I live in the coun\u00adtry\u00adside? Should I live in a vil\u00adla? Should I live in a lux\u00adu\u00adri\u00adous build\u00ading or an ordi\u00adnary bun\u00adga\u00adlow? Or should I live in a tent in the dis\u00adas\u00adter area? In fact, I am some\u00adtimes con\u00adfused. Recent\u00adly, we made a spe\u00adcial trip to the Sichuan dis\u00adas\u00adter area. I heard that the sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion there is now even worse. Are we real\u00adly as cer\u00adtain as we see it?)<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B does\u00adn\u2019t know what he should eat.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cShould I eat fish?\u201d he said.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cShould I eat pota\u00adtoes?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cShould I eat bugs?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n(Should I eat milk pow\u00adder? Should I drink cow\u2019s milk? Should I drink domes\u00adtic milk? I often ask myself, \u201cWould I dare to eat pigs?\u201d Now we find that almost every\u00adthing is in an ined\u00adi\u00adble state. Things that seem to be very cer\u00adtain sud\u00adden\u00adly become uncer\u00adtain. Life is some\u00adtimes just like this. But Dali B looks so stu\u00adpid, and I look just as stu\u00adpid as him.)<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B did\u00adn\u2019t know why his feet were so big.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cIs it for water ski\u00ading?\u201d he said.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cIs it for mice to sit on?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cIs it for pro\u00adtec\u00adtion from the rain?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B saw birds liv\u00ading in trees and decid\u00aded that he too want\u00aded to live in a tree.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B saw a squir\u00adrel eat\u00ading an acorn and decid\u00aded to eat an acorn him\u00adself. (We are some\u00adtimes like this too. When we see oth\u00aders going abroad, we want to go abroad too.)<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B still does\u00adn\u2019t know why his feet are so big.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nOne day, the rab\u00adbits in the woods were in a pan\u00adic and ran under Dali B\u2019s tree.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cYou have to get down here, Daly B!\u201d they yelled.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cJessie D is here!\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cWho is Jessie D?\u201d Daly B asked. (How could it pos\u00adsi\u00adbly know who Jessie D was if it did\u00adn\u2019t even know who Daly B was?)<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThe rab\u00adbits were too anx\u00adious to answer.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThey spread out across the grass,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dis\u00adap\u00adpeared into the hole.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D looked up and Daly B waved.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D start\u00aded climb\u00ading the tree.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThe oth\u00ader rab\u00adbits stuck out their noses.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trem\u00adbling all over.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cHel\u00adlo.\u201d Daly B said to Jessie D.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cAre you a bad\u00adger?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cAre you an ele\u00adphant?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cAre you a platy\u00adpus?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D crept clos\u00ader. \u201cNo, my friend,\u201d she whis\u00adpered, \u201cI am a weasel!\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cDo you live in a pond?\u201d Daly B asked.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cDo you live on the dam?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cDo you live in a dog\u00adhouse?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D crawled clos\u00ader.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cNo, my friend,\u201d she hissed.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cI live in the dark\u00adest cor\u00adner of the woods.\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cDo you eat cab\u00adbage?\u201d Daly B asked.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cDo you eat insects?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cDo you eat fruit?\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D crawled over to Daly B.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cNo, my friend,\u201d she said in a harsh voice,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cI eat rab\u00adbits! Rab\u00adbits like you!\u201d<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B was very sur\u00adprised.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cI am\u2026a rab\u00adbit?\u201d (Dali B, near\u00ading the end of his life, was still explor\u00ading this ques\u00adtion of his true self. Socrates said, \u201cKnow thy\u00adself,\u201d and he final\u00adly under\u00adstood it, stam\u00admer\u00ading. They were dis\u00adcussing philo\u00adsoph\u00adi\u00adcal ques\u00adtions very friend\u00adly, but Jessie D did\u00adn\u2019t give him the time.)<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D nodded\u2026licked her lips\u2026and then jumped!<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDali B did\u00adn\u2019t even think about it, he turned around like light\u00adning,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nHe kicked hard with his super big foot.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nJessie D flew across the sky, far, far away,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nFly to where you came from!<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThe oth\u00ader rab\u00adbits jumped and cheered<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And hugged each oth\u00ader,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cYou\u2019re a hero, Daly B!\u201d they shout\u00aded.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cThat\u2019s strange,\u201d Dali B said.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n\u201cI thought I was a rab\u00adbit.\u201d (I still don\u2019t under\u00adstand who I am. I knew it a while ago, but now I don\u2019t know it any\u00admore.)<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThis is a fable, and some\u00adtimes fables are more real than our real\u00adi\u00adty.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nI\u2019d like to share a real sto\u00adry with you here\u2014I come from Red Mud Vil\u00adlage, a vil\u00adlage found\u00aded in 2000. It\u2019s prac\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly nowhere on Earth, but it\u2019s a place you can find online. There\u2019s a man\u00adi\u00adfesto on a piece of red mud, dat\u00ading back to the ear\u00adly 2000s: \u201cMud that can\u2019t be played with by chil\u00addren is not good mud!\u201d When peo\u00adple ask me what it is, I always say it\u2019s mud. Books are also mud. It\u2019s a spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal prod\u00aduct for chil\u00addren to play with. Mud is dif\u00adfer\u00adent from oth\u00ader toys. Most prod\u00aducts these days require elec\u00adtric\u00adi\u00adty, or at least bat\u00adter\u00adies, but this one does\u00adn\u2019t even have a spring. Mud does\u00adn\u2019t need that, and you don\u2019t even need to spend mon\u00adey. Just pick it up and, if you\u2019re an artist, you can shape it into a work of art. It depends on who you are, not what it is.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nMud that\u2019s only for chil\u00addren isn\u2019t good mud! \u2014 I remem\u00adber some\u00adone asked me, \u201cDoes a book just because chil\u00addren like it mean it\u2019s good?\u201d Not nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly, but if chil\u00addren like it, it at least means it\u2019s suit\u00adable for chil\u00addren. And real\u00adly good mud can be played with by adults too. When I say, \u201cLet\u2019s play with mud,\u201d it does\u00adn\u2019t mean it\u2019s just for chil\u00addren; we adults can play with it, too.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThis is Inspec\u00adtor Car\u00adrot. We\u2019re broth\u00aders. Just to be clear, he stud\u00adied chem\u00adistry, and I stud\u00adied law. He does chem\u00adi\u00adcal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions, and I do phys\u00adi\u00adcal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions. Then we start\u00aded work\u00ading with chil\u00addren. Nei\u00adther of us is a spe\u00adcial\u00adist, so don\u2019t wor\u00adry about who\u2019s bet\u00adter. We\u2019ve also writ\u00adten some books on com\u00adput\u00aders. \u201c101 Books That Will Cap\u00adti\u00advate Chil\u00addren\u201d was pub\u00adlished in 2003 and is being reprint\u00aded this year. It cov\u00aders a wide age range, suit\u00adable for read\u00aders as young as 14 or 15, and of course, peo\u00adple in their 70s and 80s can also read it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c100 Key Ques\u00adtions About Chil\u00addren\u2019s Read\u00ading\u201d was co-authored in 2005 with two teach\u00aders from \u201cPar\u00adents Must Read.\u201d Most of the ques\u00adtions were answered between 2002 and 2005. I\u2019ve been look\u00ading at some ques\u00adtions online these past few days, includ\u00ading those on real estate infor\u00adma\u00adtion web\u00adsites. Most of the ques\u00adtions are gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly com\u00admon. Par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00ading ques\u00adtions are those that dis\u00adcuss more spe\u00adcif\u00adic issues. We need to dis\u00adcuss over\u00adly abstract ques\u00adtions in gen\u00ader\u00adal terms because they\u2019re exhaust\u00ading. To dis\u00adcuss such a sim\u00adple question\u2014how to help chil\u00addren fall in love with reading\u2014I wrote a thick book, \u201cHelp\u00ading Chil\u00addren Fall in Love with Read\u00ading.\u201d Many peo\u00adple fall asleep while read\u00ading because they\u2019re not read\u00ading the book cor\u00adrect\u00adly. They insist on read\u00ading from begin\u00adning to end, but that\u2019s not nec\u00ades\u00adsary. Read what\u00adev\u00ader you find inter\u00adest\u00ading, and skip ahead if it\u2019s unin\u00adter\u00adest\u00ading.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nI have been par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00ading in a col\u00adumn called \u201cRead\u00ading Time Togeth\u00ader\u201d in the mag\u00ada\u00adzine \u201cPar\u00adents Must Read\u201d. Every year we select the \u201c10 Most Inter\u00adest\u00ading Books\u201d. If you are inter\u00adest\u00aded, you can go to the web\u00adsite. Let me reveal here that there are not many peo\u00adple par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00ading in the vot\u00ading, so the win\u00adning rate is very high.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nSome\u00adone sug\u00adgest\u00aded you were a writer, say\u00ading you\u2019ve writ\u00adten almost ten books. I said no, I don\u2019t even know who I am. I often par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpate in review events, includ\u00ading those held by the Press and Pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion Admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion, but the most fun thing is telling sto\u00adries, like I just did, with chil\u00addren. (Pho\u00adtos shown) This is in a book\u00adstore, this is in an ele\u00admen\u00adtary school, and this is telling sto\u00adries with elder\u00adly peo\u00adple at a chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture sem\u00adi\u00adnar. The first one is Mr. Jiang Feng, who is over 80 years old. Mr. Jiang also finds pic\u00adture books very enjoy\u00adable. I did\u00adn\u2019t plan to share a book with you today, but it\u2019s tru\u00adly fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading. It\u2019s called \u201cPeo\u00adple of Col\u00ador.\u201d This is play\u00ading with chil\u00addren at the train sta\u00adtion. We often can\u2019t find a seat. What do we do? It\u2019s sim\u00adple: buy a local news\u00adpa\u00adper for one yuan, spread it on the floor, and sit down to read. Read\u00ading is such a relax\u00ading, enjoy\u00adable, and com\u00adfort\u00adable thing. This is in the library, this is in the class\u00adroom, and this is at the New Cit\u00adi\u00adzen School, a school for chil\u00addren of migrant work\u00aders.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThis is a pho\u00adto of my daugh\u00adter when she was over four years old. Hong\u00adni\u00adba was born short\u00adly after she was born. One day she proud\u00adly told me that she was born at the end of 1999 and she was half a year old\u00ader than Hong\u00adni\u00adba.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nI real\u00adly like this place and rec\u00adom\u00admend it to every\u00adone. It\u2019s in Hangzhou, but peo\u00adple who go there don\u2019t nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly go. It\u2019s called Yun\u00adqi Bam\u00adboo Path. The whole way there, she was read\u00ading this book. It was read to her, not by her\u00adself, of course. It was all in tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Chi\u00adnese char\u00adac\u00adters, so how could a four-year-old under\u00adstand? \u2014 A tor\u00adtoise som\u00ader\u00adsault\u00aded on the ground and trans\u00adformed into a dark, ugly monk. Self-con\u00adfi\u00addent about his abil\u00adi\u00adties, he named him\u00adself Fahai. Monk Fahai trav\u00adeled exten\u00adsive\u00adly and, when he arrived in Zhen\u00adjiang, he saw the mag\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcent Yangtze Riv\u00ader, the majes\u00adtic Jin and Jiao Moun\u00adtains, and the grand and solemn Jin\u00adshan Tem\u00adple. He thought it was a tru\u00adly won\u00adder\u00adful place.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nI was tired of read\u00ading to her, but when she was over 4 years old, she could mem\u00ado\u00adrize the entire book, both vol\u00adumes, and read it over and over again when she liked the part. I think chil\u00addren aged 2\u20135 have this very spe\u00adcial tal\u00adent, which is the abil\u00adi\u00adty to absorb lan\u00adguage.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nThis is the Lei Feng Pago\u00adda, such a beau\u00adti\u00adful place, a par\u00adadise. When you read to her, she enjoys it and becomes immersed in it. How can you help chil\u00addren fall in love with read\u00ading? How can you achieve the best results for chil\u00addren? It does\u00adn\u2019t nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly require a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\u2026 read\u00ading rou\u00adtine. Instead, let her enjoy the process while immers\u00ading her\u00adself in the most beau\u00adti\u00adful mem\u00ado\u00adries. With such a won\u00adder\u00adful process, she will sure\u00adly love read\u00ading and become an excel\u00adlent read\u00ader.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nLet\u2019s first dis\u00adcuss a few issues with chil\u00addren\u2019s read\u00ading. Today, we\u2019re focus\u00ading on com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion. I\u2019ve seen a lot of mes\u00adsages from moth\u00aders online, and I\u2019ve picked out some of the more unique ones to share with you. These moth\u00aders are very inter\u00adest\u00ading: their four-year-old child rarely reads on his own; some chil\u00addren pre\u00adfer look\u00ading at pic\u00adtures rather than words; oth\u00aders, after read\u00ading, don\u2019t stick to the book but make up their own, and so on. Each sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion is dif\u00adfer\u00adent. Which one is con\u00adsid\u00adered nor\u00admal? In fact, I think they are all very nor\u00admal. Of course, I can ful\u00adly under\u00adstand that as a par\u00adent, you some\u00adtimes feel anx\u00adious, espe\u00adcial\u00adly when you see oth\u00ader chil\u00addren doing the same thing, and your child is still the same. No one can bear it. But don\u2019t you think that if your child is the same, and oth\u00ader chil\u00addren are still the same, they can\u2019t bear it either.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nEvery child is dif\u00adfer\u00adent. Per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty is what it is. Some chil\u00addren con\u00adstant\u00adly retell sto\u00adries, speak\u00ading flu\u00adent\u00adly, while oth\u00aders can bare\u00adly man\u00adage a sin\u00adgle word. Still oth\u00aders are par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly unique. After a long dis\u00adcus\u00adsion about water, they only man\u00adage to say \u201cflow.\u201d This is per\u00adfect\u00adly nor\u00admal. Chil\u00addren who can mem\u00ado\u00adrize and recite a sto\u00adry word for word may devel\u00adop the abil\u00adi\u00adty to retell it in the future, per\u00adhaps becom\u00ading actors. Some, after receiv\u00ading a sto\u00adry from some\u00adone else, insist on rewrit\u00ading it to make it sound just right. This is the gift of a nov\u00adel\u00adist. Oth\u00aders, after fin\u00adish\u00ading a 20,000-word nov\u00adel, can only man\u00adage to say one word: flow. Philoso\u00adphers. Some, while not nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly tal\u00adent\u00aded, may be diplo\u00admats, offer\u00ading books for exchange.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nIt\u2019s okay. These reac\u00adtions are per\u00adfect\u00adly nor\u00admal. It\u2019s almost impos\u00adsi\u00adble to find a 14-year-old who does\u00adn\u2019t know how to read, let alone a 4\u2011year-old. But how many of them tru\u00adly love read\u00ading? How many of them can tru\u00adly appre\u00adci\u00adate words and pic\u00adtures? You need to look at the age, not just the 4- or 5\u2011year-olds. By then, every\u00adone will rec\u00adog\u00adnize words. The key is that every\u00adone\u2019s per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty and inter\u00adests are dif\u00adfer\u00adent, so diver\u00adsi\u00adty and per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adiza\u00adtion are cru\u00adcial.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nRegard\u00ading top\u00adics like how to read well, my expe\u00adri\u00adence is in book selec\u00adtion. Chil\u00addren have dif\u00adfer\u00adent per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adties, so there\u2019s real\u00adly no best book; it\u2019s sim\u00adply a mat\u00adter of suit\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty. I only choose books that fit my needs, like \u201cI Don\u2019t Know Who I Am,\u201d which I find par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly appeal\u00ading. The same goes for chil\u00addren. We under\u00adstand them and the books them\u00adselves, and it\u2019s best to choose the right book for the right child at the right time.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nWhat is the best way to read?<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\nDur\u00ading the dis\u00adcus\u00adsion, I heard sev\u00ader\u00adal voic\u00ades. One said that \u201cBeige Obses\u00adsion\u201d was so hap\u00adpy, and peo\u00adple gave them a bunch of Giv\u00ading Tree series and Syn\u00ader\u00adgy World Select pic\u00adture books. Anoth\u00ader said that the hand\u00adwrit\u00ading in the book was not very good, and that they could edit the lan\u00adguage. Actu\u00adal\u00adly, that was also pos\u00adsi\u00adble. There is no fixed way to read pic\u00adture books, but for espe\u00adcial\u00adly clas\u00adsic pic\u00adture books, the Chi\u00adnese trans\u00adla\u00adtions have already ful\u00adly tak\u00aden into account the read\u00ading and lis\u00adten\u00ading skills of chil\u00addren of appro\u00adpri\u00adate ages. Read\u00ading accord\u00ading to the book may have the best effect. Of course, I dare not say that all books can do this. Some books are very good, and the tar\u00adget age is 4 or 5 years old, but if your child is 1 or 2 years old, he will cer\u00adtain\u00adly not be able to lis\u00adten if you read to him accord\u00ading to the book.<br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Unfin\u00adished)<br>\n\u00bb\u00bb\u00bb&nbsp;<br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.sina.com.cn\/s\/blog_5881300c0100bc9h.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lec\u00adture tran\u00adscript part 2<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.sina.com.cn\/s\/blog_5881300c0100bc9f.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lec\u00adture Records Part 3<\/a>point<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0 \u8bb2\u5ea7\uff1a\u56fe\u753b\u4e66\u600e\u4e48\u73a9\uff1f\uff08\u7b2c\u4e00\u90e8\u5206\uff09 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u4e3b\u8bb2\u4eba\uff1a\u963f\u7532 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u65f6\u95f4\uff1a2008\u5e7410\u670812\u65e59\uff1a30-1 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[93,5,10,6,26,102,92],"class_list":["post-1081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-timemachine","tag-93","tag-5","tag-10","tag-6","tag-26","tag-102","tag-92"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1081"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1216,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions\/1216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
