Measured out as a foreign language for admission

A colleague told me an interesting story about their children: once she saw that the child she was playing with her son was missing, asked him where he had gone, and he said, "Xiaopeng has passed away." The colleague was wondering, and the son said, "His mother said it was time to go to class." It turned out that the "death" in the son's mouth meant "going home". I don't know where he heard the word, so he used it everywhere.

I remember watching street movies when I was a child, and seeing the protagonist of "God Whip" beat the bad guys with braids, I was so excited that I couldn't do it, so I went home and tied a plastic bag to my head, hung a long cloth strip, and then lit it with fire and began to circle... If my parents hadn't found out early, they would have burned their heads.

When my little nephew was four or five years old, I told him the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and when he said that the big bad wolf was going to eat Little Red Riding Hood, he cried.

Children naturally like to participate and are not satisfied with just being bystanders. Seeing you eat delicious food, they will stare straight at the food like kittens and puppies, and drool. When they see other children playing games, they will watch with special envy next to them, hoping that some friends can invite him to join.

It is probably because of this strong sense of participation that they can be particularly involved when listening to the story, and even "go too deep into the play"; it is probably this extreme desire for personal participation that makes them eager to create a scene that they think is suitable for play every time they come into contact with a new thing.

Even if a child can't speak, his mouth is never idle, but he doesn't stop. These babbles, adults think that they are just messing around, but in fact they are responding to what they hear and see, especially the imitation and reproduction of what the observed adult says (looking at the mouth).

Children are naturally "output" talents, so they can learn any family language efficiently.

The characteristic of output-oriented talents is that "quantity is in", that is, he will input according to the amount he can output, rather than blindly and unlimitedly. When a child captures in the innumerable daily conversations of the adult a small number of words that he pays attention to and is sufficient to play (even in the form of a babbling), he blocks out other discourses and begins to concentrate on "indulging in the world of the self", beginning to create scenes that he thinks are in line with those words and reproduce them with his mouth. This is why children around the age of one year especially prefer to lie there and talk to themselves, because they capture enough "material" that they feel enough to waste time typing other content, but instead create the right scenes in their minds to output it.

The biggest problem for adults in learning is that they ignore the output and just blindly make the input. For example, in the classroom, the teacher often talks for 45 minutes, and the next lesson is new content. Class exams are undoubtedly an effective way to check output, but only a few top students may really keep up with the progress of large classes. This is when extracurricular tutoring comes into being, because they can arrange a reasonable output for each student's progress one-on-one.

For us to learn English, when we are training in listening and reading, if we want to achieve the highest efficiency, we must bring the output, and the amount of each input is not too much, but matched with the output. For example, if you read an article and record more than 10 new words, then you have to train these new words on the same day (see post: Training free expression from the scene preview), if you don't digest it on the same day, you must continue to digest the output the next day, and don't rush to enter other content.

How to digest new words in the way of output? Use the sentence pattern commonly used in daily dialogue to say it, imagine some scenes around you, and use the target words to say them in sentences.
