“学英语去”，是目前许多家长[微博]双休日带孩子外出学习的首选，幼儿园的孩子也纷纷加入到学英语的行列中，学习英语的年龄呈现出越来越小的趋势。有的家长由于不懂幼儿学习语言的特点，让孩子认字母背单词，结果是自己教得冒火，孩子学得吃力。特别是在你火冒三丈大声训斥孩子的时候，孩子会渐渐失去信心，对英语学习失去兴趣，这种结果是最可怕的，因为它有可能影响孩子今后的学习态度。

心理学家认为：兴趣具有动力作用，也就是说兴趣可以转化为激发人们进行某种活动的推动力。幼儿期的儿童，由于注意力等心理因素发展不够成熟，他们的学习在很大程度上带有明显的情绪化倾向，当儿童对学习有浓厚兴趣和好奇心时，便会产生情感上的需求。对孩子来说，英语学习是新的认知点，家长更应考虑孩子情感上的需求，采用生动活泼、有趣味的形式来吸引他们。孩子学习英语，重要的是创设一个轻松愉悦的环境。爸爸妈妈要有意识地把英语学习和游戏结合起来，如“Wolf，wolf，what time is it?”“It‘s five o’clock。”在游戏中，让孩子模仿小动物，边做动作边用英语回答，轻松自然地就学会了英语句型。在和孩子玩过家家的时候，问问孩子“What do you like?”让孩子试着用学过的单词说一说。平时，父母也可以利用一些日常活动，如给孩子洗脸时，一边洗一边教孩子念念英语儿歌“Wash your face, Wash your eyes, Wash your nose, Wash your„„”这样既让孩子觉得好玩，又学得有趣。带孩子去超市时问问孩子”What do you want?”鼓励孩子用单词或句型来回答。当孩子能正确说出单词时，妈妈的一个亲吻，一个拥抱，爸爸翘起的大拇指，奖励一张小小的粘纸都会使孩子产生自信的情感，激起学习的兴趣。因此爸爸妈妈在教孩子学英语时，要不断地变换形式，采用模仿小动物、敲榔头、敲门、开火车、击鼓传花、听故事、表演等来愉悦儿童学习的过程，使孩子学得兴趣盎然。

俗话说合则情生趣有，不合则情失趣无。教孩子学习英语对父母来说既是一种耐心的培养，更是智慧的挑战。

第二篇：TED英语演讲稿：如何让选择更容易

TED英语演讲稿：如何让选择更容易

简介：面对商场里五花八门的商品，你的选择恐惧症又犯了吗? 美国哥伦比亚大学商学教授sheena iyengar研究如何让你在做选择时更容易。为了让你的选择省时省力，商家又会有哪些诀窍呢?

do you know how many choices you make in a typical day? do you know how many choices you make in typical week? i recently did a survey with over 2,000 americans, and the average number of choices that the typical american reports making is about 70 in a typical day.there was also recently a study done with ceos in which they followed ceos around for a whole week.and these scientists simply documented all the various tasks that these ceos engaged in and how much time they spent engaging in making decisions related to these tasks.and they found that the average ceo engaged in about 139 tasks in a week.each task was made up of many, many, many sub-choices of course.50 percent of their decisions were made in nine minutes or less.only about 12 percent of the decisions did they make an hour or more of their time.think about your own choices.do you know how many choices make it into your nine minute category versus your one hour category? how well do you think you're doing at managing those choices?

today i want to talk about one of the biggest modern day choosing problems that we have, which is the choice overload problem.i want to talk about the problem and some potential solutions.now as i talk about this problem, i'm going to have some questions for you and i'm going to want to know your answers.so when i ask you a question, since i'm blind, only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories.(laughter)otherwise, when i ask you a question, and if your answer is yes, i'd like you to clap your hands.so for my first question for you today: are you guys ready to hear about the choice overload problem?(applause)thank you.so when i was a graduate student at stanford university, i used to go to this very, very upscale grocery store;at least at that time it was truly upscale.it was a store called draeger's.now this store, it was almost like going to an amusement park.they had 250 different kinds of mustards and vinegars and over 500 different kinds of fruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water--and this was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water.i used to love going to this store, but on one occasion i asked myself, well how come you never buy anything? here's their olive oil aisle.they had over 75 different kinds of olive oil, including those that were in a locked case that came from thousand-year-old olive trees.so i one day decided to pay a visit to the manager, and i asked the manager, “is this model of offering people all this choice really working?” and he pointed to the busloads of tourists that would show up everyday, with cameras ready usually.we decided to do a little experiment, and we picked jam for our experiment.here's their jam aisle.they had 348 different kinds of jam.we set up a little tasting booth right near the entrance of the store.we there put out six different flavors of jam or 24 different flavors of jam, and we looked at two things: first, in which case were people more likely to stop, sample some jam? more people stopped when there were 24, about 60 percent, than when there were six, about 40 percent.the next thing we looked at is in which case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam.now we see the opposite effect.of the people who stopped when there were 24, only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam.of the people who stopped when there were six, well now we saw that 30 percent of them actually bought a jar of jam.now if you do the math, people were at least six times more likely to buy a jar of jam if they encountered six than if they encountered 24.now choosing not to buy a jar of jam is probably good for us--at least it's good for our waistlines--but it turns out that this choice overload problem affects us even in very consequential decisions.we choose not to choose, even when it goes against our best self-interests.so now for the topic of today: financial savings.now i'm going to describe to you a study i did with gur huberman, emir kamenica, wei jang where we looked at the retirement savings decisions of nearly a million americans from about 650 plans all in the and what we looked at was whether the number of fund offerings available in a retirement savings plan, the 401(k)plan, does that affect people's likelihood to save more for tomorrow.and what we found was that indeed there was a correlation.so in these plans, we had about 657 plans that ranged from offering people anywhere from two to 59 different fund offerings.and what we found was that, the more funds offered, indeed, there was less participation rate.so if you look at the extremes, those plans that offered you two funds, participation rates were around in the mid-70s--still not as high as we want it to be.in those plans that offered nearly 60 funds, participation rates have now dropped to about the 60th percentile.now it turns out that even if you do choose to participate when there are more choices present, even then, it has negative consequences.so for those people who did choose to participate, the more choices available, the more likely people were to completely avoid stocks or equity funds.the more choices available, the more likely they were to put all their money in pure money market accounts.now neither of these extreme decisions are the kinds of decisions that any of us would recommend for people when you're considering their future financial well-being.well, over the past decade, we have observed three main negative consequences to offering people more and more choices.they're more likely to delay choosing--procrastinate even when it goes against their best self-interest.they're more likely to make worse choices--worse financial choices, medical choices.they're more likely to choose things that make them less satisfied, even when they do objectively better.the main reason for this is because, we might enjoy gazing at those giant walls of mayonnaises, mustards, vinegars, jams, but we can't actually do the math of comparing and contrasting and actually picking from that stunning display.so what i want to propose to you today are four simple techniques--techniques that we have tested in one way or another in different research venues--that you can easily apply in your businesses.the first: cut.you've heard it said before, but it's never been more true than today, that less is more.people are always upset when i say, “cut.” they're always worried they're going to lose shelf space.but in fact, what we're seeing more and more is that if you are willing to cut, get rid of those extraneous redundant options, well there's an increase in sales, there's a lowering of costs, there is an improvement of the choosing experience.when proctor & gamble went from 26 different kinds of head & shoulders to 15, they saw an increase in sales by 10 percent.when the golden cat corporation got rid of their 10 worst-selling cat litter products, they saw an increase in profits by 87 percent--a function of both increase in sales and lowering of costs.you know, the average grocery store today offers you 45,000 products.the typical walmart today offers you 100,000 products.but the ninth largest retailer, the ninth biggest retailer in the world today is aldi, and it offers you only 1,400 products--one kind of canned tomato sauce.now in the financial savings world, i think one of the best examples that has recently come out on how to best manage the choice offerings has actually been something that david laibson was heavily involved in designing, which was the program that they have at harvard.every single harvard employee is now automatically enrolled in a lifecycle fund.for those people who actually want to choose, they're given 20 funds, not 300 or more funds.you know, often, people say, “i don't know how to cut.they're all important choices.” and the first thing i do is i ask the employees, “tell me how these choices are different from one another.and if your employees can't tell them apart, neither can your consumers.”

now before we started our session this afternoon, i had a chat with gary.and gary said that he would be willing to offer people in this audience an all-expenses-paid free vacation to the most beautiful road in the world.here's a description of the road.and i'd like you to read it.and now i'll give you a few seconds to read it and then i want you to clap your hands if you're ready to take gary up on his offer.(light clapping)okay.anybody who's ready to take him up on his offer.is that all? all right, let me show you some more about this.(laughter)you guys knew there was a trick, didn't you.(honk)now who's ready to go on this trip.(applause)(laughter)i think i might have actually heard more hands.all right.now in fact, you had objectively more information the first time around than the second time around, but i would venture to guess that you felt that it was more real the second time around.because the pictures made it feel more real to you.which brings me to the second technique for handling the choice overload problem, which is concretization.that in order for people to understand the differences between the choices, they have to be able to understand the consequences associated with each choice, and that the consequences need to be felt in a vivid sort of way, in a very concrete way.why do people spend an average of 15 to 30 percent more when they use an atm card or a credit card as opposed to cash? because it doesn't feel like real money.and it turns out that making it feel more concrete can actually be a very positive tool to use in getting people to save more.so a study that i did with shlomo benartzi and alessandro previtero, we did a study with people at ing--employees that are all working at ing--and now these people were all in a session where they're doing enrollment for their 401(k)plan.and during that session, we kept the session exactly the way it used to be, but we added one little thing.the one little thing we added was we asked people to just think about all the positive things that would happen in your life if you saved more.by doing that simple thing, there was an increase in enrollment by 20 percent and there was an increase in the amount of people willing to save or the amount that they were willing to put down into their savings account by four percent.the third technique: categorization.we can handle more categories than we can handle choices.so for example, here's a study we did in a magazine aisle.it turns out that in wegmans grocery stores up and down the northeast corridor, the magazine aisles range anywhere from 331 different kinds of magazines all the way up to 664.but you know what? if i show you 600 magazines and i divide them up into 10 categories, versus i show you 400 magazines and divide them up into 20 categories, you believe that i have given you more choice and a better choosing experience if i gave you the 400 than if i gave you the 600.because the categories tell me how to tell them apart.here are two different jewelry displays.one is called “jazz” and the other one is called “swing.” if you think the display on the left is swing and the display on the right is jazz, clap your hands.(light clapping)okay, there's some.if you think the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing, clap your hands.okay, a bit more.now it turns out you're right.the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing, but you know what? this is a highly useless categorization scheme.(laughter)the categories need to say something to the chooser, not the choice-maker.and you often see that problem when it comes down to those long lists of all these funds.who are they actually supposed to be informing?

my fourth technique: condition for complexity.it turns out we can actually handle a lot more information than we think we can, we've just got to take it a little easier.we have to gradually increase the complexity.i'm going to show you one example of what i'm talking about.let's take a very, very complicated decision: buying a car.here's a german car manufacturer that gives you the opportunity to completely custom make your car.you've got to make 60 different decisions, completely make up your car.now these decisions vary in the number of choices that they offer per decision.car colors, exterior car colors--i've got 56 choices.engines, gearshift--four choices.so now what i'm going to do is i'm going to vary the order in which these decisions appear.so half of the customers are going to go from high choice, 56 car colors, to low choice, four gearshifts.the other half of the customers are going to go from low choice, four gearshifts, to 56 car colors, high choice.what am i going to look at? how engaged you are.if you keep hitting the default button per decision, that means you're getting overwhelmed, that means i'm losing you.what you find is the people who go from high choice to low choice, they're hitting that default button over and over and over again.we're losing them.they go from low choice to high choice, they're hanging in there.it's the same information.it's the same number of choices.the only thing that i have done is i have varied the order in which that information is presented.if i start you off easy, i learn how to choose.even though choosing gearshift doesn't tell me anything about my preferences for interior decor, it still prepares me for how to choose.it also gets me excited about this big product that i'm putting together, so i'm more willing to be motivated to be engaged.so let me recap.i have talked about four techniques for mitigating the problem of choice overload--cut--get rid of the extraneous alternatives;concretize--make it real;categorize--we can handle more categories, less choices;condition for complexity.all of these techniques that i'm describing to you today are designed to help you manage your choices--better for you, you can use them on yourself, better for the people that you are serving.because i believe that the key to getting the most from choice is to be choosy about choosing.and the more we're able to be choosy about choosing the better we will be able to practice the art of choosing.thank you very much.(applause)

第三篇：如何让孩子更爱学习

1、营造学习氛围

要让孩子爱学习，就要为了促进孩子的智力发展，家长应有意识加强自己的智力活动，有时不妨和孩子共同开展智力活动。比如，家长爱读书、看报，是一种很好的智力活动。其中的好处不言而喻，对于不爱读书的孩子，家长可以先为孩子做个示范，晚饭后把电视关掉，一家人各人读自己的书。在读书、看报过程中，不断把新的信息传达给家里人，有时要谈自己的认识。长久地熏陶，孩子也会喜欢读书、看报。当生活中有些知识不明白时，应该查资料、查工具书，获得正确答案。家长跟孩子一起做这些事情，有利于孩子增长知识，训练思维，培养能力。如果家长再适时教给孩子一些阅读方法，效果会更好。有的家长在读书、看报过程中，划重点、剪贴感兴趣的文章、记读书笔记，孩子就会学着大人的样子去做。反之，如果在孩子学习时，家长在一旁看电视或上网打游戏，不仅会影响孩子的注意力，还会造成他们心理的不平衡。为孩子营造一个良好的学习氛围，就会潜移默化地帮助他们养成良好的学习习惯，这就是所谓的“润物细无声”。

2、灌输责任意识

要让孩子爱学习，就要让孩子明白，学习知识，是为了将来在社会上更好地生存，现在认真学习是对自己的未来负责。一些家长滥用“物质刺激”，把孩子是否完成学习任务与物质奖励联系起来。过分重视物质奖励，对孩子学习习惯的培养，未必是好事。一些物质奖励仅仅是为了激发孩子的兴趣，但如果孩子只是做了一些分内的事情就要给出奖励的话，孩子很快就会学会讨价还价。

3、培养时间观念

要让孩子爱学习，就要给孩子限定时间可以帮助他们专心地做事情，提高效率。所以把学习任务和时间联系起来，可以提高学习效率。比如学习一个生字，给孩子10秒的时间盯住生字识记，然后再要求默写出来，这样一来，孩子有紧迫感，会很专心地来记。但这要注意张弛有度，不可事事都限时。比如用餐、沐浴，就不宜限定时间，该放松的时候就放松。让孩子明白工作的时候要讲效率，是我们的主要目的，生活的乐趣却不能因此而被磨灭。

4、磨练孩子意志

要让孩子爱学习，就要磨练孩子意志可以从练字开始。练字从学习角度讲，是让孩子把字写好，作业写工整。实际上，练字的另一个好处是可以磨练孩子的意志，让孩子能够平心静气。具体的做法是让他们把手洗净，书桌上的东西清理干净，让孩子端端正正，一笔一划地写上20分钟。日子长了，你会惊喜地发现，孩子的忍耐力会有所提升。

第四篇：职业规划让你更容易成功

职业规划让你更容易成功

每个人都渴望成功，通往成功的路也不止一条，正所谓条条大路通罗马，但总是有人取道捷径、直捣黄龙，也有人曲折迂回、堕人迷宫，而职业规划也许就是帮助我们到达罗马的最好工具。职业规划不仅可以帮助我们解决当前求职、就业、择业或者事业发展中遇到的困惑，更重要的是帮助我们明确未来的事业发展方向。

世界头号投资大师巴菲特，小时候是一个内向而敏感的孩子，无论是读书还是生活中的表现，巴菲特与一般孩子毫无区别，甚至还不如。许多人都嘲笑巴菲特行动、思维缓慢，但巴菲特却将这一弱点转化为自己最大的优点——耐心；同时，他还发现自己对数字有天生的敏感，并对其充满了兴趣。

在27岁之前，巴菲特尝试过无数的工作，做销售、充当法律顾问、管理一家小厂，但最终他结合自己的优点——耐心、对数字敏感，将自己的职业发展转向成为一名投资家。在明确的职业规划引导下，巴菲特拒绝许多外来的诱惑，也忍受住许多压力，坚定不移地按着自己的职业发展道路前进，最终成就一番惊人成就。

职业规划最大好处就在于，帮助我们将个人梦想、价值观、人生目标与我们的行动策略协调一致，去除其他不相关的旁枝末节，整合个人最大的优势与资源，从而向着终极目标快速前进，而这正是我们取得成功的重要保证。

无论你是即将步入职场的新人，还是已经身在职场数年，总会面临选择的迷茫：是就业还是择业；是寻求新的挑战还是继续稳定的工作。在初级人才过剩、高级人才奇缺的现实下，这类迷茫越发显著。实际上，这和缺乏明确的职业规划有很大的关系。而事实证明，拥有明确目标的人往往比缺乏目标的人更容易获得成功。

第五篇：英语演讲：父母和孩子谁更容易抑郁

父母和孩子谁更容易抑郁

Today our topic is which of them----teenager or adult----would be easier to depression?in my opinion,there is no doubt that the adults are more suffering from depression---or we can say melancholia[ˌmelənˌkəuljə].First,from the physiologic aspect:the age of our parents are most range from 40 to 50----a period we called climacterium[klaiˌmæktəriəm].in this period,the biological hormone of human goes wrong,.The main symptoms are metabolic disorder,wakefulness,easy to lose their temper,palpitate[ˌpælpɪˌteɪt]

etc.All of this may probably result in a depression.Secondly,from the social aspect: our parents are faced with high pressure.I admit that students are stressful too.But our stress are almost only from two parts:the study and the maybe love.Someone will say we are faced with high pressure of finding a job.In fact,if you can't find a job immediately,you can stay at home for a buffer,at least you will not starve to death the day after your out of work.But the same problem comes to our parents,the answer maybe yes.They are the main support of a family which include one,two,or more children and old men who can't make money.They need to consider how to educate their children,how to take good care of the old's health,how to get along with colleague,how to get a promoting or a better salary,how to pay the house loan,and even how defend their marriage by beating a third.A survey on the internet shows that the group suffer from depression most is the white-collar group.They are faced with high pressure--maybe beyond our imagination.Besides,from our habitual way of thinking,adults have stronger psychology bearing capacity and psychological adjustment ability than teenagers.but just because of this,people often ignore adults' states of mind.If a teenager keeps blue for several days,his parents,teachers and friends are easy to find some unusual,the teenager who has a tendency to depression will get immediate comfort,exhort or even treatment.But if an adult keeps silence,people will think maybe he is just thinking about a difficult problem.Even themselves will not attach so much importance to their psychology.In Chinese traditional ideas,only lunatics [ˈlu:nətɪk ] need a psychologist.Conclusions As a result,adults are easier to depression than teenagers.We should pay more attention to our parents' psychology.
