Doctor: Do you have time to come over tomorrow afternoon to extract the tooth?
Jianqin: Not tomorrow afternoon, my dad has to take online classes.
Doctor: What about tomorrow morning?
Jin Yu: I have to prepare lessons and type on the computer in the morning. I can’t spare any time from Monday to Friday. I only have free time on Saturdays and Sundays.
Doctor: Then schedule it for Saturday. Call in advance.
Jinyu: That’s okay. Thank you.
Doctor: Are you tired from taking online classes?
Jin Yu: It’s not bad. It’s slightly better than offline teaching, and it saves the time of traveling by car.
Doctor: Online classes may not be as efficient as offline classes.
Jianqin: Without the atmosphere of previous classes, it still has some impact. People are social animals and need to promote each other. If a good atmosphere is formed, learning will be more rigorous.
Jin Yu: But it also depends on the human effort, whether you really want to learn. If you have strong self-discipline and really want to learn knowledge, the efficiency will not be bad at all, otherwise it will be difficult to say.
Doctor: That makes sense. Thoughts are involved here. Existence determines consciousness, and thoughts determine actions. If you don’t really want to learn and there is no supervision, you will not be able to play games or do other things.
Jianqin: Uncle is so right. Correct thoughts guide people to take correct actions, and wrong thoughts lead to wrong actions.
Jin Yu: It will waste opportunities in battle, and it will affect academic performance.
Doctor: Human beings are the only animals that can think. Human thoughts have given birth to many inventions and creations, which have promoted the continuous development of human society. This is a positive aspect. Wrong thinking leads to various crimes.
, including wars and various disputes.
Jin Yu: This reminds me of online classes. If you really want to learn, you can learn a lot. If you let wrong ideas prevail, you will be complacent and unable to move forward.
Doctor: So it is very important to raise awareness and develop a good habit of reading. With correct thoughts leading the way, students will be able to do anything.
Jianqin: My uncle is good at arts and sciences.
Doctor: I'm just talking casually. Where does the correct understanding come from? First, we need to read humanistic books, and you might as well read some biographies of celebrities. Second, parents should monitor them and communicate more with their children. Third, teachers should actively encourage and teach.
Preach the truth, teach students, and resolve doubts. Don’t treat students favorably over others. Treat everyone equally and care deeply.
Jin Yu: What you said is reasonable and impressive. It has benefited me a lot. Thank you very much. We not only came to see the dentist, but also learned a lot of insights.
Doctor: You’re welcome, teacher. I’ll contact you on Saturday.
