11、ocks and the Three Bears.

12、nd playing baseball long after we have learned them.

The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表)are an exception to the general

13、rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

21、make sure that the lessons go according to the swimming goals that you have set for your child.Swimming is a fun activity and you can make it easy for your children to understand and coordinate(協(xié)）the movements of their arms and legs.
