In the book, the theme of this section is "Deep Xi: One of the Few Good Ways Out of Life."
Why does the author say this?
He told the story of Hu Shi's teacher, Mr. Wang Yunwu, who taught himself English writing
Mr. Wang first found a good work in English, read it by heart, translated it into Chinese, and a week later, translated the Chinese back into English. After he has finished the translation, he compares it with the original text to find his own translation errors, mistakes, and areas that are not good enough to improve.
Mr. Wang has accumulated solid English skills Xi repeated practice, which has laid a solid foundation for his later career in English teaching and publishing.
After reading the story of Mr. Wang's in-depth Xi, I couldn't help but think of the story of Franklin's writing:
Franklin used a similar approach, and although he was only in second grade, he always loved to read. Once he saw a newspaper with articles that he liked so much that he read them several times. He felt that the writing of these articles was so beautiful that he couldn't help but want to imitate it.
Sometimes, he selects a few articles, writes the gist of each sentence, and then puts it for a few days, without reading the original text or the gist. After a few days, he tried to express the gist in his own words, and after he finished writing, he compared it with the original text to find his shortcomings, and then fully grasped these points through Xi practice.
Sometimes, he rewrites the story into poetry, and when he forgets the original prose, he reverts the poem to prose.
Sometimes, he would scramble the gist and, after a few weeks, try to put them in the best order and reconstruct sentences into an essay. He said it would teach him to straighten out his thoughts.
Sometimes, he also found errors and deficiencies in the original text, which boosted his confidence that he would definitely become a good writer one day.
Yes, he became not only a writer, but also a scientist and inventor who invented the lightning rod, and at the same time he continued to do his printing work, he was a printer and publisher, a diplomat, one of the founding fathers of the United States.
His achievements are certainly inseparable from his deep Xi.
We also see by Franklin's storyDeep Xi is an ability that you can use in every area.
So what do you do about deep learning Xi?
I wonder if you have found any clues from the previous story?
According to the theory of the "Xi pyramid", only by actively learning Xi Xi the of learning is the first condition of deep learning is to actively learn Xi, so that more of what we learn can be retained in our brains.
Once you have the will to actively learn Xi, you can start the following steps:
1.Acquire high-quality new knowledge by learning Xi first-hand information, and don't absorb some shallow second-hand knowledge because of greed.
2.Associating new knowledge with one's old knowledge and writing or speaking it to others in one's own words is the only way to become one's own through such a transformation.
3.Summarize, reflect and improve. No matter what it is, it is very important to summarize, reflect and improve, and only by constantly improving our own shortcomings will we continue to grow.
Reading this, you can also reflect with me on whether you have done in-depth Xi recently!
