      Comparison of Eastern and Western Educational Models

      I just watched this film recently. Generally speaking, the storyline is relatively clear and smooth, the characters are well-drawn, and the scene fits the main axis of the story.
      When it comes to the content, one cannot help but think of the education of children in the East and the West. I am a genuine "product" of Eastern education, and I have never received any Western teaching. When I was a child, I only had the idea of ​​studying and going to university, but now that I started...

      Ramble

      I can't pass the word count of the brief comment. Sa~
      I didn't expect Americans to make such cheesy films. The same is the stage for the talented young man to emerge, interspersed with the contradictions and running-in of his family, teachers, and friends. But still very angry!
      Why do you always let children's grievances and grievances fulfill adults' face and self-esteem? As a mother, she feels sorry for her own race, relied on her dedication to her family, but ignores the feelings...

      "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask oursleves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within...

      give her a chance

      When Akira agreed to participate in the intercollegiate spelling bee, she didn't expect so many things to happen. Originally, she had no interest, and she didn't like her school, so why should she contribute to the school? Moreover, because of his good mind and high grades in schoolwork, he was bullied and labeled as a freak. She didn't want those people to mock her even more if she failed in the competition.

      Akira lives in a civilian area, her father died, her mother bent over five...

      random

      It was originally to learn to memorize the grammar of words, but unexpectedly, the harvest is other more. Some people say that it has aroused enthusiasm for learning, but not to me. It is a story of talented people who achieved success through hard work. People like me can only be a little better than before after working hard, and they don't expect to shine. Just for education, I think a lot. The boys in the play are really likable, lively and cheerful, gentlemen are delicate and...

      I sincerely bow down to these strange English words. The rare words in the comprehensive language are really scary, and not everyone has the talent to memorize words. For lost girls and lost fathers, Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, is that we are powerful beyond measure. Chubby boys are cool. Very happy ending. The father of the handsome "Chinese" guy is so prominent that he is simply a...
