　　Learning begins the minute we were born. Our first teachers are our families. At home we learn to talk, dress, and feed ourselves. We learn these and others by following.

　　Then we go to school. A teacher tells us what to learn and how to learn. Many teachers teach us and we pass many exams. Then people say we are educated.

　　Henry Ford is a good example. He left school at 15. Later when his company couldn't build cars fast enough, he solved the problem. He thought of the assembly line（装配线）.

　　Today the answer seems simple. Yet think of the many university graduates（毕业生）who never solved that problem.

　　What does a good teacher do? Does he give students facts to remember? Well, yes, we must remember facts. But a good teacher shows how to find answers. He brings us to the stream（溪水）of knowledge, so we can drink. When we are thirsty we know where to go.

　　Think of a computer. It stores much information, but it can't think. It only obeys commands（指令）. We say a person hasn't learned unless he can use what he has learned.

You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat(闲谈)with friends－you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you－loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
