30、 of listening they do before they start speaking, and laterstarters are often long listeners. Most children will“ obey” spokenins tructions some time before they can speak, though the word“ obey” ishardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperationusually shown by the child. Bef

31、ore they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies maketo their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy makingnoises, and that during the first

32、few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. Butsince these can t be said to show the baby s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, thatfrom about three months they pla

33、y with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿） leads on to deliberate （有意的） imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point atwhich one can say that these imitations

34、can be considered as speech. It isa problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person meansby it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of“ mam”

35、 a as a greeting for his mother cannot bedismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything elsehe likes. Playful and meaninglessimitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun tospeak for himself, I doubt, howev

36、er whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.16. .

Someparents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the USor Australia, regardless o

40、f how muchthis costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is,the better it is, so parents often sp

41、end unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children'sskills vary; they will usually be s

42、killed in someareas while poorin others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching

43、 them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands pat

44、ience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.An old machine such as a bro

If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to
