(I=Interviewer W=Professor Wilson)
I: Hello, Professor Wilson, and thank you for joining us today. Would you please tell us something about education
W: Sure. Education has great social and personal significance; thus, philosophers and educators have devoted a good deal of time to exploring its meaning.
I: So, what are some of their thoughts
W: Well, for example, the first great educational philosopher of modern times, Comenius, insisted that when teaching, the subject matter should be adapted to learners’ interests, and the method of instruction should be consistent with their mental development.
I: That’s very true. It’s important to make education match the learners’ interests and meet their needs.
Listening
W: Yes. Another world-famous philosopher and educator, John Dewey, said that “education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
I: What does that mean exactly Could you explain, please
W: Well, I think it means that education is not simply about passing on knowledge and skills necessary for a future life, but to provide a rich experience of living while learning to use that knowledge and those skills to solve real-world problems.
I: Indeed, education and society should be closely connected.
W: Yes. Nowadays, education stresses more on cultivating creative minds, exploring the truth and developing sympathy for and understanding of our fellow men.
I: Thank you, Professor Wilson.

(Y=Yang Ping J=Jason)
Y: I’ve been looking at ways we learn. I saw a diagram on the Internet the other day. It showed that we remember ten percent of what we hear. We remember twenty percent of what we read, thirty percent of what we see, fifty percent of what we see and hear, seventy percent of what we discuss with others, eighty percent of what we do and ninety-five percent of what we teach to others.
J: Wow, that is interesting! It ties in with what I’ve been told, that if you want to be sure you understand something then try and teach it to someone else. If you can’t explain it, then you don’t understand it clearly yourself.
Listening
Y: That is true. Remember what our teacher told us the other day about how we learn
J: Yes, actually I do! It goes in this order: first we remember, then we understand, then we apply what we have learnt. After that we analyse and evaluate what happened and then create something new from what we have learnt.
Y: Exactly! Let’s give it a try!
