Part 3 : Discussion

　　1. E: When should children go to school?

　　C: I think normally children should start school at the age of six. They are very curious at this age and it’s easy for them to grasp new skills.

　　Tips: They have enough intelligence to understand what the teachers say and how to behave themselves.

　　2. E: What’s the best age to learn skills?

　　C: Well, it’s hard to say. It depends on the skills people want to learn. I think we can start at nearly any age. If we want to learn driving, we must learn it after we are 16.

　　Tips: skill的种类: cooking skills, performing/acting skills, singing skills, driving skills, survival skills, (foreigh)language skills, play musical instruments, communication skills, camping skills, sports(mountaineering…), broadcasting skills…。根据年龄和性别等的不同进行分类说明学习各种skills的最佳年龄。

　　3. E: Which is more important, learning by oneself or at schools?

　　C: For my part, learning by oneself is more important. Teachers are guides, and you must depend on yourself for improving your ability.

　　Tips: At schools, we just learn the methods, we must make efferts if we want to improve our ability.

　　4. E: What do you think of the qualities of the teachers?

　　C: Some teachers are quite qualified, and they can teach students useful information, but we can’t deny that there are some teachers who don’t know what

　　they’re talking about.

　　Tips:

　　Good teachers: 1) teach us useful information;

　　2) He would be conscientious: concentrate on teaching and be punctual;

　　3) He would answer questions patiently;

　　4) He gives students guidance in life;

　　5) They shouldn’t punish students physically;

　　6) They wrote well on the blackboard/whiteboard with marker.(板书写的好).[白板：whiteboard/白板笔：marker/荧光笔：highlighter]

　　7) They should be responsible for the students’ safety or security.

　　Bad teachers: 1) They don’t know how to teach;

　　2) They like nagging about one topic.
