The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teacher methods were different from those in her country. A children’s art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures, and each one is quite different from the others. Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language.

In a country such as the United States or Canada, students are asked to work and find answers by themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas. In countries such as China and Japan, students often work together and help each other in the classroom, but the teachers teach, and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook, do the same homework and give the same answers.

【題目】

When Reginald Johnston, a British scholar (學(xué)者), first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919, most palaces weren't allowed to visit, But a century later, when the People's Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary (周年紀念) in October, the 599-year-old palace complex (宮殿群) becomes the world's busiest museum.

Open to the public

In the old days. ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside. When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925, the public could go into the palaces. Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025.

Attracting the youth
