Yongfu: Teacher Jinyu!
Jinyu: Who are you?
Yongfu: I am Yongfu. Get in the car and give me a ride.
Jin Yu: Oh, thank you, big boss. Have you bought a new car again?
Yong Fu: It has been two years since I replaced it. Normally, it is replaced every three to five years.
Jin Yu: You shocked me. You are so generous. The car is updated so quickly. I can’t believe it. Why not repair it?
Yong Fu: Car repairs are expensive, so it’s better to buy a new car. I’ve already bought five or six cars.
Jin Yu: You are so rich and powerful that I am sweating all over. Where are you going?
Yong Fu: Give glasses to your son.
Jinyu: Where does your son go to school?
Yongfu: Anqing No. 1 Middle School, I am a freshman in high school this year.
Jin Yu: My son works hard, he is really good.
Yongfu: My son has always been very conscious about his studies. Besides, he wouldn’t be able to get into No. 1 Middle School if he wasn’t conscious about it.
Jin Yu: Your teaching is still good.
Yongfu: My son likes to communicate with me.
Jinyu: You were very sociable when you were a student. You have a cheerful personality, a wide range of interests, and are good at calligraphy. Children like to communicate with their parents, which is conducive to their healthy growth.
Yongfu: The influence of parents on their children is indeed very important. When your children reach high school, do you think they need extra tutoring classes?
Jin Yu: I don’t oppose, encourage, or advocate.
Yongfu: I see many children carrying their schoolbags on weekends and attending various tutoring classes. It’s hard to talk about how effective they are with a hammer here and a stick here and there, and it takes too much time on the way.
Jin Yu: It makes sense. Independent learning is the best.
Yongfu: I think so. During the three years of junior high school, my son did not take extra tutoring classes. He has always been very motivated to study, and his high school entrance examination scores were acceptable.
Jinyu: Don’t your parents provide guidance?
Yongfu: I usually work very hard, so I don’t have the time and energy to spend one-on-one time with my children.
Jin Yu: What I said is also true. You still have to rely on yourself to learn. The role of parents is mainly reflected in cultivating good habits in their children.
Yongfu: Cultivate good study habits, and parents no longer need to worry about it. Once you become conscious about learning, it will be difficult to make progress.
Jinyu: After high school, you focused on academics. What are your hobbies outside of class?
Yongfu: I like to read some extracurricular books.
Jin Yu: This habit is very good and will be needed in future scientific research. The great scientist Qian Xuesen once said: "Liberal arts knowledge explores the world from a macro perspective, while science knowledge studies the world from a micro perspective."
Yong Fu: Children should read more extracurricular books, broaden their horizons and think more flexibly, and gain rich future development benefits.
Jin Yu: Of course, we can’t just focus on studying. Necessary exercise is also indispensable. The COVID-19 epidemic once again reminds people that healthy growth is more important than achievement.
Yongfu: Health is the capital of revolution. You must live healthily first, and then you can do big things. Nutrition is not a problem, and exercise must be followed up. Only with a reasonable diet and appropriate exercise can you devote yourself to studying.
Jin Yu: If you develop good habits from an early age, you will be able to earn enough happiness throughout your life.
