ally be recalled, namely, once upon a time a donkey was crossing a river with a bag of salt on its back, and when it arrived at the bank of the river, it slipped into the river by accident. At this moment, the salt on its back was dissolving and became lighter and lighter, when the donkey stood up it felt relaxed and happy for gaining such experience. Therefore, the following time when it crossed the river with a bag of cotton on its back, it recalled its last experience, so it slipped intentionally, but this time it did not fell relaxed but lost its life for the cotton absorbed a great deal of water and became heavier and heavier, and finally the donkey was drowned.
Another goes like this, long long ago there was a man who sold hat, and everyday he tried his best to sell his hats. One day he peddled exhaustedly, so when he passed along a big tree, he decided to have a rest under the tree. Thus, he put his hats beside him and dozed. But after several minutes he woke up, he found all his hats disappeared. To his surprise, there were many monkeys on the tree and each monkey with a hat on its head. The man was anxious for he would not support his family if he lost these hats. Suddenly, a good idea came into his mind that monkey likes to imitate, so he tried to lift his left hand, and all these monkeys raised their left paws, too. Then he clapped, and all the monkeys followed suit. The man felt excited, thus he discarded his hats on the ground, and so did the monkeys. Then the man picked up all hats and went home happily. When he got home, he told his son and grandson about his peculiar experience. As time went on his grandson inherited his family property. One day when his grandson was on his way of selling hats, he also napped under a big tree and all hats were taken away by monkeys, too, but he wasn’t worried for he remembered what his grandpa had told him. Thus, he raised his left hand, as expected the monkeys raised their left paws, and then he clapped, so did the monkeys. After that, he thought his grandfather’s way was really effective, so he discarded his hats on the ground, but to his disappointment, this time these monkeys did not followed suit but stared at him. He felt puzzled, but suddenly the king of these monkeys turned up and picked up the hat. It patted his head heavily and spoke out a line:“You must be joking! Do you think only you have grandpa?”
Why was the donkey drowned? And why could not the grandson take back his hats like his grandfather? Everyone can recognize the crucial reason for that is that they did not deal with the experience properly, they just used experience mechanically and did not remodel their old experience. It is clear that in the changing world, usually the successful experience of past directly causes present failure. That reminds people of Chinese traditional teaching method, which has many malpractices or defects. Especially, the traditional English teaching attracts more attention, which is teacher-centered, and the students just receive knowledge passively. It lacks various skillful and focal methods, which was given a vivid name“cramming”. So it is hard to muster the students’ enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, also hard to attract the students’ interest.
