The Language Journey

The 80/20 Rule Language Learning Hack

迁: 迁移，搬家。
        战国的时候，有一个很伟大的大学问家孟子。孟子小的时候非常调皮,他的妈妈为了让他受好的教育. 花了很多心血。当他们住在墓地旁边时，孟子就邻居的小孩一起学着大人跪拜、哭嚎的样子,玩起办理丧事的游戏。妈妈看到了，就皱起眉头说:"不行!我不能让我的孩子住在这里了。”于是带看孟子搬到市集旁边去住。
        到了市集,孟子又和邻居的小孩,学起商人做生意的样子。一会儿鞠躬欢迎客人、一会儿招待客人、 一会儿和客人讨价还价，表演得像极了! 妈妈知道了，又皱起眉头说：“这个地方也不适合我的孩子住。”
        他们又搬家了，这一次搬到了学校附近。孟子开始变得守秩序、懂礼貌、喜欢读书。这个时候，孟子的妈妈很满意地点着头说 :“这才是我儿子应该住的地方呀!”
