Chapter 46 (Dream)

"Dad, what do you want me to do with my English books and homework?"

"When the time comes, let this uncle teach you English, if there is anything you don't understand, don't ask this uncle, do you hear?"

"Well, uncle, are you still in school? Mom said your English is awesome. ”

"That's your mom winning the prize, and I'm in college right now."

"You're in college, is it called a university because your school is bigger?"

"Yes, too!"

Actually, I can tell him that this is not the case, but can he understand what I say? He's just a kid who has just finished fourth grade and is about to enter fifth grade. As for how to define a university, when he goes to college, he will know that a university is not just a big area.

"Take the book and go with your uncle to the table in the back to study."

"Hmm"

With that, we sat down at the table.

"Show me your textbook."

Looking at his English textbook, I think the content is so simple, but if I still think that the content is difficult, then my English learning over the years will be in vain. Actually, when I first started learning English, I thought it was very difficult.

After all, it is a new subject, we didn't learn English so early, we didn't start learning English until junior high school, and they started learning English in the third grade, maybe this is the difference between the township school and the city school!

I flipped through his English textbook, and it was nothing more than a question about the time, the place, the weather, and the clothes. Looking at the words in the back is also pitiful, just two or three pages.

One important thing I've always forgotten is that he's only a ten-year-old kid, and I've always been looking at things from my perspective, including in the conversation below, where I exposed my subjective assumptions so vividly.

"How long have you been learning English?"

"It's been two years, plus this year."

"Is English that hard to learn?"

"It's hard."

"According to your father, he has enrolled you in a lot of English training courses, but it doesn't seem to be of any use to you."

"I don't like to listen to them, and I don't like English."

"Do you like to read?"

"I don't know."

"Then why do you study?"

"Dad told me to read, I read, anyway, if I do well in the exam, he will buy me delicious food, and let me play on the computer."

"You can play games at such a young age, huh? Who taught you? ”

"I learned it myself, and after I watched my cousin play it a few times, I would play."

I'm thinking about how strong today's children's learning ability is! I think that when I finished my third year of high school, I didn't even know anything about computers, and I didn't even enter an Internet café, I should have been glad that I wasn't harmed by games, or I should have felt more regretful, regretting that I didn't have that period of time in the game world.

"You play for a while, and then I'll call you when I list some knowledge points."

"Hmm."

Saying that, he quickly ran to his father's side, maybe he didn't care about his father, he only cared about the computer in his father's hand.

"Why did you come here, didn't you learn English from your uncle?"

"Uncle said that he was listing knowledge points, let me play first, let me play with the computer."

"No, when you're done, Dad will let you play."

"Then you give me your iPhone to play with."

"Charging."

"There was still electricity when I came."

"Go and see, is the electricity full?"

"It's more than half full."

Without even asking his father's permission, he pulled out his phone and went to play his game.

This is not a special case, children now love to play games, this is an iron fact, even my little niece is only three years old, not yet four years old, every time I go back, I want me to give her my mobile phone to play games, how do she know how to play, nothing more than to use her hand on the screen blindly, it seems that in the minds of every child, the word game has been ingrained in their minds.

Soon I made a list of all the knowledge points, including some sentences that are used frequently, and some words that seem familiar and are easy to misspell.
