Chapter 102: Returning from the Awards

I am a general tutor in Yangyang, but tutoring Yangyang's junior high school curriculum is not as easy as tutoring the primary school curriculum. www.biquge.info I can read a primary school textbook in one or two hours in one or two hours, but now when I read Yangyang's junior high school textbook, I can't read it at a glance, because the content of the junior high school textbook is far beyond the primary school textbook in terms of both the amount of knowledge and the depth of knowledge. Another thing that makes me feel pressured is that in my memory, part of the junior high school knowledge has been lost, that is, in order to be able to tutor Yangyang's junior high school curriculum, I have to learn from scratch! In this way, in addition to going to work, doing housework, and tutoring Yangyang's study, there is one more content, that is, to re-study the junior high school textbook! And for the content of each lesson, I must finish it before Yangyang studies, otherwise I will not be able to tutor him. My study time is mainly on weekends and nights after falling asleep, all day I make myself very nervous and tired, according to Lu Tao's words, I am like a college entrance examination candidate, burying my head in hard study every day, preparing for the university entrance examination. But I had to do it because I knew that without my help, Yangyang's academic performance would have been worse.

Yangyang's academic performance is gradually improving, of course, this is not all the result of my tutoring, the teaching and care of the school teachers should play a major role. After entering junior high school, Yangyang did not encounter the wrong treatment of primary school teachers, and having a good mood is also an important reason for his academic progress. Psychologists say that when people are in a good mood, their mobility increases, and when they are in a bad mood, their mobility decreases, so if you don't have a good mood, you may not be able to do anything effectively.

I tutored Yang Yang in his studies with a focus, focusing on his two subjects, Chinese and English, because these two subjects were his weakest aspects. For other subjects, I just supervised him with his homework. Because Yang Yang and I have limited energy and time, I can't give him subtle and in-depth tutoring in every class, and he doesn't have time to do more homework outside of class.

In terms of English tutoring, every night after he finishes the English homework assigned by the teacher, I have to ask him to dictate words, but I only ask him to write ten words at a time, which will be annoying for him more. In addition, I have to ask him to read an interesting short English essay on an English website, and be careful, it must be interesting, otherwise he will not read it. Don't think about how interested he is in English, he doesn't really like to study English. For example, I will search for good original English movies on video websites for him to watch, just like he watches Japanese anime, as long as he wants to understand wonderful English movies, he may have the idea and motivation to learn English well.

In terms of language tutoring, I mainly tutored his writing skills. To everyone's surprise, in Yangyang Primary School, I helped Yangyang write an essay for five years! Every time I mentioned this to my colleagues, my colleagues would cast puzzled and incredulous glances at me. Isn't it ridiculous for such parents to write essays for their children? But that's what I did, and I did it for five years! Of course, I don't think it's right for parents to do homework for their children, and I don't encourage other parents to do it, but in fact it's just a helpless move, an example of a special problem to be solved. On the one hand, it is because Yangyang has been in a state of learning since he was negatively influenced by his teachers in primary school, and at that time, he was not thinking about whether to study hard, but whether to go to school. So he often refused to finish his homework, and I didn't want him to be disciplined by the teacher when I went to school the next day, so I had to help him write. At that time, my goal was to make sure that he could get to school the next day! On the other hand, because I didn't cultivate Yangyang's reading habits, Yangyang didn't read much, especially literary books, so my writing ability was also poor, and the composition structure was messy, the theme was not obvious, and the words were typo. So I decided to teach him how to write essays, and this kind of hands-on teaching is often that I write for him and then let him read it. No, most of the time he writes on his own, and I only write for him when he really doesn't want to write or when he has too much homework to write and when he writes too badly. Helping him write an essay is a teaching process in itself. I once told him that good essays are generally of the following categories: the story is wonderful, the plot is touching, the moral is profound and enlightening, or it can objectively and truthfully describe a fragment of social life. Of course, Yang Yang has not yet reached such a height, I just need him to be able to speak fluently, have clear layers, and be able to express his meaning clearly.

Happily, after he entered junior high school, Yangyang didn't use me to write his essays for him, he did them all independently, and I just commented on his essays after he finished writing. In addition, I will also find some good articles to read to him, so that he can learn and appreciate them. But what makes me helpless is that he is not interested in literary masterpieces, and his favorite book to read is still Japanese anime! The Japanese have conquered the vast majority of teenagers in the world with a large number of anime! Fortunately, reading Japanese anime is also reading, and I have read some Japanese anime books, and my writing skills are also quite good, so reading such books is also good for writing.

One day, when Lu Tao came back from Yangyang, as soon as he entered the door, he was shaking at me with a piece of paper, and I took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a certificate of award! Yangyang has not won many awards since he went to school, so as soon as I saw him come back with a certificate, I was very excited.

"Third prize in the essay competition! Yang Yang is so good!" I exaggerated and praised Yang Yang. This is the first award he has received for writing.

"Stick it up, stick it up. Lu Tao retrieved the award from me and began to look all over the house for a place to show off this honor.

"Put it in the study. I said.

"It's not conspicuous in the study, but it's in the living room, so people can see it as soon as they enter the door. Lu Tao actually wanted to paste this small award certificate on the wall of the living room.

"Don't stick it in the living room, it's nondescript. "I still think it's more appropriate to post a study.

When Lu Tao and I were arguing, Yang Yang made the same decision as me, and he asked his father to post the award certificate in the study. It seems that Yang Yang is still a relatively reserved and low-key person.

In this way, we regard Yangyang's award as important as an athlete's gold medal. It's not enough to post the certificate, but also to give Yangyang a family reward! We will reward Yangyang when he makes progress. But when he makes mistakes, he doesn't have to punish him, but often helps him find out his mistakes and explain them clearly. We like to educate with more rewards than punishments. We only worry that inappropriate punishment will hurt the child.

"Buy books, buy toys, eat delicious food, which one do you choose?" I asked Yangyang.

"Eat delicious food!" Yang Yang said happily.

I thought he was going to buy toys, but it seems that after he went to junior high school, he changed in many ways, such as his obsession with toys has decreased, and in elementary school, he also said that he wanted to open a toy store when he grew up!

Our family of three drove to the commercial street of the county, and after walking through more than ten restaurants, we finally chose a self-service hot pot restaurant. According to Lu Tao, the cafeteria is affordable. People who do business always think about money. The reason why Yangyang chooses self-service hot pot is that he can freely choose his favorite dishes. I don't really like hot pot very much, but the minority obeys the majority and goes with them.

The business of self-service hot pot restaurants is very good, which is in line with the consumption psychology characteristics of residents in small counties. Residents of small counties still tend to spend less money and buy more things, unlike people in big cities, especially those with good economic conditions, who pay attention to taste.

When we walked into the hot pot restaurant, the tables were all occupied, and we were about to leave, when the waiter warmly beckoned us to wait for a while, saying that some of the guests were about to leave. Sure enough, we waited less than a minute before a guest at the table wiped his mouth full of oil and water with a napkin and got up to leave. By the time the waiter had cleared the table, our family of three was seated.

We eat buffets like this, I am in charge of taking care of the items, and Lu Tao and Yang Yang are in charge of picking up the food. When the two of them were taking food, I glanced at the adjacent table and saw that the table at the adjacent table was full of vegetables, and I couldn't help but worry about them, can I eat all the dishes if I take so many dishes? Many people have to eat buffet until they can eat until they feel that it is cost-effective, and some people have to count their fingers to count how much they have eaten, whether they have eaten enough or more than the value of the money they paid. In fact, these people don't know that if they eat too much, they don't get a bargain, but they suffer a loss that hurts their stomachs! They only remember money and forget about their health.

After Lu Tao's father and son came back with the dishes, I secretly pointed to the adjacent table and said to Lu Tao, "They take so many dishes, can they eat them?"

"It's going to be eaten, don't you think they're all strong men? One person can eat more than two ordinary people. Lu Tao said.

Lu Tao and I were discussing, but Yang Yang was not satisfied with us, he said, "Can you not talk about others?

Hey, this little guy is still very careful about his words and deeds outside, like an adult. I had just lowered my head to eat, and suddenly saw a plate of sliced ham in the dish that Lu Tao had taken, and I couldn't help but say to Lu Tao in a loud voice: "Why do you take so much ham? There are too many additives in ham, and eating too much is not good for your health, don't you know?"

"You can't eat what you say, the current food is either additives or pesticide residues, and what preservatives, preservatives, flavor enhancers, etc., if you want to eat absolutely safe food, you have to go back to the countryside to grow vegetables and grow grain. Lu Tao said disapprerovingly.

At this time, Yang Yang spoke again, but he was still not interested in the content of the conversation between me and Lu Tao, he frowned and said to the two of us: "Can you not speak so loudly?

Oh, we used to guide him, when did he start to guide us? It seems that he is more sensible and begins to find the shortcomings of his parents. This is also related to the fact that he watches a lot of foreign film and television dramas, and foreigners are indeed quieter in public. Watching movies and television dramas can make children understand a lot of principles of life. However, there are a lot of violent scenes in film and television dramas now, and I once advised Yangyang not to watch movies and television full of violence and other unhealthy content, but the effect is very small, because there are too many such things on the market, unstoppable! I know that it is impossible to find a pure environment for children to grow up, and it is not necessarily good for children to grow up in a pure environment, because they will eventually return to reality, just like a child who grows up in a sterile environment is destined to lose resistance to germs, and once he leaves the sterile environment, his life may be in danger! We should face the reality, society is like this, or the world is like this, there are harms, there are dangers, what we need to cultivate is the ability to adapt and resist, as long as they do not deviate and do evil things.

As we were about to leave the table, I suddenly saw a fly in the soup pot, and I was so startled that I was about to scream, but I immediately controlled myself again. I urged Lu Tao and his son to leave the hotel quickly. I can't say this dirty thing on the spot, otherwise Lu Tao and Yang Yang will vomit when they see it, and they will be nauseous for many days.

More than ten days later, I tactfully told them: "I heard from our colleagues that the restaurant is unhygienic, let's not go in the future." "That's all there is to it. (To be continued.) )
