There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to"play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible ! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
The expression" play safe" probably means"______ ".
选项
A、to write carefully
B、to do as teachers say
C、to use dictionaries frequently
D、to avoid using words one is not sure of
答案
D
解析
这是一道词组解释题,文章中“play safe”之后的那句“He will tend to write only words within his spelling range choosing to avoid adventurous language”对该词组的进一步的解释。这句话的意思是:他将只写他会拼写的单词,避免犯错。因此D “免用不确定的词”是对“play safe”的正确解释。
