suggestion
Read more books that are difficult to "nibble" and challenge the limits and boundaries of thinking
Guo Zijian, a famous Chinese teacher at Guangzhou No. 6 Middle School and a member of the Guangzhou High School Language Center Group, believes that from the reading data, students like books with suspense, reasoning and other thinking challenges, and classic works in the traditional sense are snubbed, which reflects that students' reading pays attention to fun and the times, but it is less academic and professional. Students' reading is still predominantly pastime rather than special learning. Language learning under the new curriculum standard pays more attention to thematic in-depth reading, and the language college entrance examination pays more attention to rational thinking. Therefore, it is recommended that students can read more books that are difficult to "nibble" through rough reading, skip reading, etc., constantly challenge their thinking limits, broaden their thinking boundaries, and thus obtain another reading pleasure in rational thinking.
