Listening to English radio programmes help me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat which I hear to help myself experience with the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even recorded my voice so I can listen to me and compare my pronunciation with the radio hosts’! My biggest headache is how to polite in English. It's much easy to just say “Open the window !" in Chinese than in English, where that can sound real terrible. I have to think about what I' m talking to and then decide whether to say “Open the window, please!” or “Would you mind open the window, please?”

The first time I went to a playground in Berlin, I was surprised. All the German parents were huddled together, drinking coffee, not paying attention to their children who were hanging off a wooden dragon 20 feet above a sand pit. Contrary to stereotypes(模式化观念)，most German parents I’ve met are the opposite of strict.1.. Those parents at the park weren’t ignoring their children; they were trusting them. Here are a few surprising things Berlin ’s parents do:
Don't push reading. Berlin ’s kindergartens don’t emphasize academics. In fact, teachers and other parents discouraged me from teaching my children to read.2.. But even in first grade, academics aren’t pushed very hard. Our grade school provides a half-day of instruction interrupted by two outdoor breaks.
3. A note came home from school along with my excited second grader. They were doing a project on fire. Would I let her light candles and perform experiments with. matches? Together we lit candles and burned things, safely. It was brilliant.
Let children go almost everywhere alone. Most grade school kids walk without their parents to school and around their neighborhoods. Some even take the subway alone.4.of course, but they usually focus on traffic.，not abductions(绑架).
Take the kids outside every day. According to a German saying, “There is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”The value of outside time is promoted in the schools.5.No matter how cold and grey it gets, and in Berlin it gets pretty cold, parents still bundle their kids up and take them to the park, or send them out on their own.
A.Encourage kids to play with fire
B.Inspire children to go out for leisure
C.German parents are concerned about safety
D.It's also obvious on Berlin ' s numerous playgrounds
E.Kindergarten was a time for play and social learning
F.They place a high value on independence and responsibility
G.I was told it was something special that the kids learn together when they start grade school
