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 (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focus 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 piece of writing about a personal experience, "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors in the writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had 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 encouraged the pupil to improve his writing.
In the second paragraph, the expression "play safe" most probably means "________".
选项
A、pay more attention to the ideas
B、write freely and smoothly
C、avoid words he is not sure of
D、use dictionaries very early
答案
C
解析
根据第二段第一、二句“If spelling becomes the only…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. ”可知,如果老师仅关注拼写,那么一个聪明的孩子就很可能会谨慎行事,他往往会只使用自己拼写范围内的单词,而避免使用冒险的语言。由此可推彝,play safe意为“谨慎行事,避免冒险”,在此处表示“避免使用没把握的单词”。故选C。
