16.Last month I paid a visit to China.Chinese education on children really shocked me.I thought many Chinese parents put much pressure on only high school students.But in the following years,I found the pressure came to primary school children,then those of pre-school age,and finally newborn babies and pre-born children.
In order to succeed,one or two years before entering kindergarten(幼稚园)they must study English,drawing,singing,and dancing,and the three years of kindergarten are mostly spent to build up an early lead in primary school performance
What if parents let their 3or 4years old child enjoy free time on Saturday and Sunday,after five days in nursery?They would be thought to be wasting their kid's early life.As others do,so must they do.
Yet children have not only the right,but the need to play.Kindergartens should not be a school.There should be no classroom,no lesson,no homework,and especially no exams.Instead,playing should be the first thing for children.
They need to play with others and also to play on their own,as playing is good for learning in a lively way.Children can discover numbers while playing games and the alphabet(字母表) through songs.Some Chinese characters can become familiar to them by being used in games,But the problem with kindergartens is very serious.Chinese parents think studying is more important.Children work hard while having less and less time to play.What these parents fail to realize is that they are following the examples of how not to raise a kid.

分析 本文介绍了中国家庭教育孩子的现状,中国对孩子的教育让作者感到震惊,为了让孩子长大成才,中国的家长们从孩子上幼稚园之前,就给孩子施加压力,逼迫孩子学习英语、绘画、唱歌、舞蹈等.即使是周末,孩子也没有玩的权利和时间,作者认为幼稚园应该是一个让孩子们自由玩耍的地方,孩子们在玩耍和做游戏的适合可以学到知识.
