"Who's still taking X-rays in the hospital now?"
"Pandas are no longer endangered."
Recently, some netizens flipped through their children's junior high school English textbooks and found a lot of outdated content, "the old textbooks should be eliminated"!
In the English textbook of the first unit of Baxia, it is said that if you fall, you will go to the hospital to take an X-ray.
Actually, now that I have fallen, it is more important to go to the hospital and take a CT scan. CT is clearer and more comprehensive than X-ray.
In the textbook of the fourth unit of the eighth class, it is described that people still have long queues to buy movie tickets. Nowadays, there is no queue to buy paper tickets, and they are basically done online.
The giant panda has long been removed from the list of endangered species due to years of careful artificial breeding, and the number has increased significantly.
Netizens said that this textbook is still the 2012 version, and many of the contents in it have long been outdated.
Some netizens said that there are also tapes, CDs, radios, etc. in the seventh-grade textbooks, and the machines that have long been eliminated have to be explained to students when talking about the materials.
These objects and things in the book are full of a sense of age, which makes people nostalgic for it.
In just over a decade, the country's development has changed with each passing day, and everyone's quality of life has also improved rapidly, and it is normal for such a situation to occur.
The textbook only provides a general framework for teaching, and more importantly, it depends on the teacher's ability.
These advanced knowledge and objects at that time opened the door to English learning for many students, and even influenced their choice of direction in the future.
Although the material is somewhat outdated, the overall content and framework of the book are excellent.
It can also be seen from everyone's comments that although the current textbook has not been updated, it will soon be updated and improved with the development of the times.
In the past, queuing up to buy movie tickets, using the mailbox to send emails, and learning about foreign news were all great attractions for students who could only sit in classrooms at that time, which not only broadened their horizons, but also sparked a huge interest in learning English.
The quality of English teaching is not hindered by the fact that the quality of English teaching is undoubtedly greater than the content, and there is no doubt that the teacher's teaching ability has a greater impact on the student's English improvement.
