Last
week, we watched a film called pay it forward, which deeply impressed me. The
idea, pay it forward, is quite brilliant for people to spread their kindness. However,
what I want to talk about is the form of their education. I was surprised when
the little boy brought the poor man to his home and told his mother that it was
his homework. I can’t stop wandering what would I do if I was asked to do this
homework: What you can do to change the world. I may just think about it and
write an article, which must be the end of the homework. Probability I would
never think about it any longer, let along apply it into practice. In contrast,
Trevor did. He tried his best to make it into reality. He thought he failed to
change the three people, but I think he succeeded. Although the poor man didn’t
stop taking drugs, he kept the kindness in mind and wanted to help others,
which was the most important thing to spread the kindness. In addition, the way
Mr.Simonet taught students was amazing. In our country, our teachers put the
emphasis on how to write a good essay and how to analysis good articles rather
than how to analysis an idea and apply it into reality. He just let students
think about whatever they want and helped them make it more practical. Which method
is more valuable? I believe everyone must have an opinion.
in my opinion the situation in China and American are totally dirrerent now,in China, the number of students is too large and the the number of good university is too small. So we must take the competition system now. under this system, the attention of the parents and teachers are paied on the final test. so, i think we do not have much more time for the students to do the task like Trevor now
ReplyDeleteYes,I agree with you that we can't ignore the reality of our country,but at least we should find out what deserves learning,so that when we can improve,we konw what we should do.
DeleteI agree with you for that we need to do more creative work than a simply paper or test.From the movie I get that only a person could change the world with effort which will influence more and more people to make contributions to the world.
ReplyDeleteI think that both approaches have strengths, and what works in one place may not necessarily work well in another place. The best would be to try to learn from each system's strengths. I like the way you compared it, Tianya; it's important to be able to write a good essay and to be able to analyse good articles, but it's also important to think of how one can actually put a good idea to work in a practical way.
