It is sorrowful and true that children are increasingly reliant on technology nowadays. While advanced technology did bring huge convenience to our life, negative effects like undermining of creativity of the youngsters should be brought to the public’s attention. When confronting a puzzle in their study, children prefer to turn to electronic tools for help, rather than discussing with their classmates or teachers to eventually deduce the solution. The process of deducing an answer provides an opportunity for children to train their brain, nourish their creativity and logicality. On the contrary, excessively depending on electronic assistance is, at some degree, rendering them the victim of their own laziness. The youngsters in the past century exposed themself to the open air for most of their spare time, where they were able to explore the mysteries of nature and communicate with their friends face to face. Nevertheless, children in the modern world chat with their net friends on the phone, using emojis to express their emotions instead of using actual verbal words to convey their thoughts. Wore still, children may be indulged with all manners of games, some of which can be violent and misleading. With all their attention plunged into games, they are less likely to nourish a hobby like painting or writing, from which they can derive a sense of accomplishment and boost their capability of conveying ideas in an creative way.

Hello! I just started italki. I'm studying English at the university. I want to talk around the world so let's talk together.

I think that no matter you are a child or an adult, you would have both happiness and sadness. As for a child, he might fight with other kids just because he wants to share other's toys but be refused. As for an adult, nobody cares about their emotion all the time which is very different from a child who can easily attract their parents' attention. Compare to children, the word "easy" won't always appear in an adult's dictionary. on the other side, adults won't easily get angry with little things. Adultness is the symbol of experiencing many tough time , hardships or bad things, that which can help us understand the world and life better and can help us make correct goals too. But we might have many regrets for the past too. A child usually has many chances to correct their directions of their future until they get to be succeeded.

What he is missing is my Chinese cultural background. They were totally products of the ancient broader tradition absorbed from the classics; you, on the other hand, have absorbed Chinese culture from the actual lives of ordinary people. That is quite different. They had probably not systematically observed or experienced social life, whereas you have frequently encountered all the vivid realities, pondered them, identified issues, and proposed ideas. They were not able to do that. I have consciously placed myself in the shoes of the farmers. But in fact, this does not mean I completely identify with their mentality. After all, I am not a peasant but an intellectual within the larger culture. I come from the gentry class which has formed my social attributes, while my cultural ones are those of an intellectual formed and nurtured by the new learning. Later I went to Britain and came into closer contact with the West.

It’s sunny today. Everything is fine at school. By the way, I learned this tongue twister from Mr. Brain. It was like, Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better. I must admit, it initially stumped me, especially by its grammar. However, I eventually managed to figure out its meaning. It signifies that imitation leather is more resilient against wet weather compared to genuine leather which will probably get damaged in the same condition. Little did I know about such traits of leather until I stumbling upon this one. All readings count, they all contribute to our knowledge.
