听了你女儿的中庸，很不错，发音很标准，也很有气场了。
我一直认为爸爸教女儿学东西比妈妈带学的快，就是说爸爸带的孩子更聪明。不知道孩子妈妈负责哪些项目呢？
去野外不错，不过一定要注意安全，孩子也真有 ...

先要谢谢你的鼓励。老婆比我更重视孩子的教育，无奈由于工作时间的安排，妈妈朝九晚五，还要承担绝大多数的家务，因此我陪孩子的时间反倒更多些。
粗略地翻翻你的帖子，提到从孩子奶奶家回自己的家，经过富春江，这让我回想起在富阳的美好6年，3年郁达夫中学，3年富阳中学。富春江，美得像梦境中一般。少年，就像春江水中的小鸭，最先知道春天的来临。

             Lesson 25
           The Cutty Sark
         “卡蒂萨克”号帆船
         
What piece of bad luck prevented the Cutty Sark from winning the race?

    One of the most famous sailing ships of the nineteenth century, the Cutty Sark, can still be seen at Greewich. She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of past. Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four exactly four months, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era.
    The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took lead. It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck. In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. A temporary rudder was made on board from spare planks and it was fitted with great difficulty. This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, for there was a danger that if she traveled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away as well. Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. After crossing the Equator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted, but by now the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead. Though the new rudder was fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win. She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. Even this was remarkable, considering that she had had so many delays. These is no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder she would have won the race easily.





晚上抽时间陪女儿游泳。Swim Kids 1，2，3的教学多数时间需要借助漂浮物，并且在浅池进行。Swim Kids 4对孩子在划水/换气/踢水有要求，看上去品熹已经可以不借助漂浮物游泳了，但是Shoulder Roll动作仍显得笨拙，Front Crawl动作也不尽规范，50M的长池Front Crawl需要55秒，希望能在Swim Kids 5能有较大提高。

Swim Kids 4 游泳。

看着那么小的孩子学英语，很无奈的感觉

无奈的感觉往往是大人的感觉，而且这种感觉还会传染给孩子，这样不好。我告诉孩子英语仅仅是一门语言，就像是汉语。学英语就像学汉语一样自然。从来没有听说读汉字，听广播，说国语还要培养兴趣。事实是，很多家长太把学英语当回事，这样的情绪潜移默化地传递给孩子。呵呵，一家之言，欢迎批评指正。

过奖，不过很受用哎。
爱看墨遥呀呀学语的点滴片段，这可能是孩子最阔爱的阶段了，多为孩子拍些照片视频吧，把她们的小模样直观地记录下来，好让我们老了的时候，看看视频，阅读孩子的成长日记，回忆孩子和我们在一起的美好时光。
随便问问， 墨遥有几个名字？在你的帖子里出现多个名字，发音还不同。

学习第27课，完成了新单词/注释的学习，以及逐句课文翻译和语法分析。下午继续游泳课程。


             Lesson 27
         Nothing to sell
        and nothing to buy
           不卖也不买
  
What is the most important thing for a tramp?

    It has been said that everyone lives by selling something. In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material good in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.
    Tramps seem to be the only exception to this general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human being to arouse the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from, but his is free from the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people. His few material possessions make it possible for him to move from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or stead occasionally to keep himself alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom. We often speak of my even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom. We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?

前两天，为孩子报了从9月份开始为期一年的钢琴课程，想必那时是没有整块时间学习英语了。因此这个暑假将是孩子在爸爸的监督下英语学习的最后机会了，第三册完成后，基本的语法知识已经学完，词汇量估计能达到40 ...

震惊！光学了新概念1、2、3级，已经把语法基本学完了，词汇量也那么大。心里也长草了。打算让女儿过完机灵狗3和体验2，就上新概念！女儿也是这样选择的。
不过，除了教材，家长也是花了不少心思引导的。佩服啊。我女儿估计没那么好摆布。年龄大了就是这点不好。
