Hi Deanna, I quite agree with your understanding of behaviorism. We are usually nervous before the exam, maybe we can get a better score but we can’t perform normally because of psychological reasons. So we must prepare well before the exam. Mock exams are really good. They simulate not only the type of questions but also the pressure. When you get used to the pressure, you can handle it in the real exam. So we should always be ready, this kind of preparation is a constant practice, exercise our minds. Thanks for your sharing.

Hi Yiran, I agree with your understanding of Chinese education. In my opinion, Chinese education can not be well applied in the early stage of school life, because students need to be trained in logical thinking at an early age, and knowledge is not imposed on them. Children need to absorb knowledge actively rather than passively. This will lead to students’ weariness, lack of creativity, and imagination. As they get older, however, it becomes harder to develop these abilities. Therefore, the best way of education should be to train students’ thinking in the early stage, which must be patient and understanding.
