Father's Day is a special day for sons and daughters to show their deep love to their fathers． Maria doesn't think she is good at telling her feelings face to face， so she writes a letter to her father．
Dear Dad， Happy Father's Day! You're not a rich man or a famous person． But in my heart， you are one of the greatest men in the world． I'm proud of you． You have never been a famous man． You do ordinary things like paying phone bills （账单） on time and working as a worker in a factory． You take good care of our family． You help me with my schoolwork and do some shopping with Mom on weekends． The smile on your face shows you're glad with your life． In the past， I didn't care whether you were with me or not． Now I am sorry to say I didn't show you the respect before． But I am thankful for what you have done for me． And I feel happy that now I can let you know how much I love you． You are successful as a husband， a father and a friend． I hope you will be happy forever! Yours， Maria |

Recently，a very simple question became widely spread online：what China should be proud of？（61）
Lanlan，whose real name is Negar Kordi，is from Canada．She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University．Now she has 120，000fans on the Internet and the number is still growing．
Lanlan loves China and Chinese．（62） And that's why she is so well received among Chinese net friends．The following is china in her eyes．
"It is the easiest country in which to find a job．If you are not too lazy，it is really very simple to find a job in China．I believe there're more job chances here than in any other country in the wold．"
"（63） About 400million Chinese are studying English．If they can speak good English in the future，China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non﹣English speaking country．"
"The speed of Chinese trains is fast．From Ningbo to Beijing，the train runs 1，365kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595yuan．"
"Its public security is great．（64） I have travelled in many countries，and I think China really is very safe．"
"There are much more things China should be proud of．Many Chinese people often criticize（批评）China．At first，I believed that they didn't like china or that they loved western countries．But later，I realized that they just set a very high standard for China．（65） China must be much better than other countries．"
A．The foreign language level is surprising．
B．This country of 1.4billion people makes me feel safe．

D．They believe that it's not enough to be number one in the world．

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work．A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time．If he is corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use．Little by little，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．
In the same way，children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk，run，climb or ride a bicycle．They compare their performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself．We do it all for him．We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，to correct it unless he has made to．Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher．Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．
If it is a matter in math or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers． Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work ？Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn，how to measure（估量） their own understanding，how to know what they know or do not know．
Let them get on with this job in their ways．School teachers can offer help if they ask for it．Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world．Don't worry! If it is important，they will go out into the world and learn it．
