Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But there's one person in China who is called the "teacher of teachers".
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China memorize Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to think back on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, the US, in 1914. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} .But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey's education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real- life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He encouraged "unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting".
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal college (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators ,most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao's moto is the best explanation for his life, "Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass."
Volunteering is a great way to help others. Whether it's a child who has difficulty finishing his or her homework, or an elderly person who feels lonely. When somebody volunteers, they are doing something good for others or the world around them without being paid. Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be organized, such as working for an organization, like helping your neighbors with their food shopping. Many people volunteer to help the environment by picking up rubbish or planting trees. Helping others can actually help yourself, too. Research has shown that volunteering improves your well- being. It can be give you a sense of purpose--A meaningful goal work towards-- and then help build your self- trust and make you feel active. This is true if you match volunteering to your interests. " Volunteering also offers you a chance to meet and connect(连接) with others. Which is good for your mental(心理) health." said Doctor Wang. Volunteering can influence(影响) your health. By giving something to others, you feel happier and this is good for your health." Volunteering has also been shown to reduce your personal worries. That's because you pay some attention to others' need." said Professor Yang who had a speech about volunteering in our school last Friday afternoon. So, what are you waiting for? Go volunteering and make a difference. Not only for yourself, but also for the world. |
