  Small-class teaching used to be accepted only in universities in China. But it has been very 1 in all schools abroad. Interestingly, it seem that it is finding 2 way into the primary schools(小学)in Shanghai.

  Recently, 12 schools 3 Hetian Road Primary School held small-class lessons.

  One day I 4 the classroom of class 4, Grade 1 of Siping Road Primary School, I found that they were 5 a Chinese lesson with the topic(话题) of " 6 ".The 24 pupils of the class were divided into six 7 .They were discussing the question 8 by teacher: Draw the scenery (风景) 9 in the spring. In a moment, four 10 of drawing were hung before the 11 .Then the children were 12 to explain the drawing in their own 13 :"The sun is smiling"; The little fish 14 out of the river to 15 the red flowers or green leaves in the spring"; "the little bird is playing a 16 in the sky"; "The grass is dancing by the river"

  The new teaching 17 greatly helped develop every child's 18 ability(能力) and thirst for 19 .

  When asked about the good results brought about by the small-class teaching , Mr Yu, headmaster of Siping Road Primary School, said that new way of teaching 20 .It can help puplis work out problems on their own. 22 ,a teacher may have to pay more attention to each 23 ,even to some shy ones who are often neglected (忽视) by the teachers in a 24 class. This means that teachers should know each student quite well, Yu said.

  It is said that, in the near future, the small-class teaching method will 25 to other primary schools in Shanghai.
