My nephew is in the fourth grade of primary school this year, and he was brought up by my father and mother since he was a child.
The little nephew's strongest point is mathematics, and his liking energy is unmatched, and he is still studying Olympiad math problems even when he goes to the toilet. I joked to him that he had a taste for the problems he solved.
In fact, the little nephew has one of the strongest items, that is, building Lego. He has been obsessed with building toys since he was three years old, and we are dazzled by the five large boxes of LEGO and other building bricks that his family has bought over the years, but he is addicted to them. What's even more remarkable is that he can watch TV shows such as "We Love Invention" or Love Science, and then use ready-made building blocks to build something like something in TV. He is also a car fan, drawing his own engine diagrams, building engines by himself, as well as shield machines, Dongfanghong satellites, long trailers, cranes and ......In short, only you can't think of it, there is nothing he can't do.
During school time, he only has the opportunity to play his Lego on weekends, and now that he is on vacation, he "invents" at home every day. Because he is a "full honor student", the teacher exempted him from nearly half of his winter vacation homework, so now he has more fun.
However, it is important to have fun during the holidays, and it is equally important to learn new knowledge, and I plan to take advantage of the time when I return to my hometown during the Chinese New Year to improve his spoken English, after all, I am his English teacher. As the saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot", and he has developed a good habit of sticking in English every day under my tutelage, so he needs to continue to insist and make persistent efforts.
I remember when I was in the third grade, he called me one day and said that he wanted to participate in an English speech contest held by the school. At that time, I was amazed, because although he was very lively and mischievous at home, he was like a "puppy" at school, and he was the most laborious, cooperative, and serious child among all teachers. Although he was not selected in the end, I think it is quite remarkable that he had the courage to volunteer to the teacher and recommend himself.
After entering the fourth grade, he studied more seriously, and all his homework was done independently, although sometimes I could hear him "knocking on the wooden fish" while reading while reading in English, and the small movements of his mouth reading along with the recording, but his eyes peeking around......However, after all, it's a boy, and it's natural to be naughty, so I thought it was really funny, but I didn't interfere too harshly. Because, as long as he finally passes my weekly exam, and he insists on clocking in the process, I am very satisfied.
My nephew's dream since he was a child is to grow up to be an "engineer of a big country", and he has known how to "study for the rejuvenation of China" since he was a child, so I decided to help him again this holiday.
