Who's That There?
Stand in front of a mirror and look at it. How much do you really know about the person in it?
It's not an easy job to know ourselves. To help students do this important task, schools across China are providing more classes and activities on self- knowledge.
Liu Yue, a teacher from Chengdu Yucai Middle School, has recently given her students a useful tool. "It's called the Johari Window, developed by two US psychologists, " said Liu. "It has four areas about one's self: open area(that everyone knows about), hidden area(that only you know), blind spot(that everyone knows except you) and unknown area (that nobody knows). Using this tool, students did a good job seeing themselves through a new lens(透镜). "
"I really want to know about my blind spot, " said eighth- grade r Yang Manfei. "So I did a survey with my friends. " The results showed that Yang easily gets worried and nervous and impatient because of procrastination(拖 延 ). "That's a bad habit I've never realised!" Yang said.
"I find the unknown area most amazing, " said Sun Boyin. "It means everyone has lots of potential (潜力). " When Sun entered middle school, he was not good at maths. "But I set a goal and did lots of maths exercises. Now I'm much better at maths. The unknown part of my maths ability is getting clearer!" Sun said.
When it came to the hidden area, most students kept silent. "I'm scared to show my secrets deep down," said Li Yixuan. "Then one classmate stood up and said his favourite cartoon is Tom and Jerry. I thought: Am I brave enough to show my childish hobby? Perhaps not. I want my classmates to see me as a mature(成熟的) person, not a silly kid. But then I realised that I don't find that classmate silly. I think he is brave to be himself. "
"Show yourself and make yourself better — that's the best lesson I learned," Li said.
My uncle Ivan is a doctor in a big hospital. He goes to work from Monday to Friday. He gets up at six forty in the morning. After twenty minutes, he has a quick breakfast, because he starts working at seven forty, and he needs about half an hour to get to the hospital. But he's never late for work. In the hospital, he works hard. After four hours' work, he has lunch in the hospital. In the afternoon, he starts work at two o'clock. He finishes work at seven. And then he goes home. He makes dinner at home for his family. He's good at making chicken salad, and it tastes really great! After dinner, he usually takes a walk with my aunt and my cousin.
