Confucius’ ideas on education
Learning without reflecting leads to confusion.
Review the old and learn the new.
Make no social distinctions in teaching.
To learn and at due time to repeat what one has learned, isn’t that after all a pleasure
The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who doesn’t ask is a fool for life.
Speaking
2. Think about a historic site that you have visited, and give an introduction to its history and importance.
Pronunciation
Read part of the poem written by British poet Rudyard Kipling. Notice the linking sounds. (P39/Ex.5)
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

Xiao Yan:Oh,well, what about the Ming-Qing Street—that’s pretty big. Some of the snacks there are amazing!
Paul: Oh, that place,yes. But I had no idea there would be so many tourists! So I decided to leave and ride out to Shuanglin Temple.
Xiao Yan:Oh, cool, that’s one of my favourite places! It’s so peaceful out there.
Paul: Yeah, that place is really quiet. And some of those sculptures—wow! I couldn’t believe how big and lifelike they were.
Xiao Yan:Yes, they’re amazing. So today you walked along the city wall, right
Paul:Unfortunately, no. I just didn’t have the time.
Xiao Yan:Wow, I can’t believe you didn’t see the wall! You have to stay longer, Paul. There’s so much more of Pingyao’s history to see.
