英文版介绍:Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag". In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard.

Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. The family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent.

Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. She taught herself enough mathematics and grammar to be admitted to Brigham Young University, where she studied history, learning for the first time about important world events like the Holocaust and the civil rights movement. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home.

Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty and of the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes and the will to change it.

    目前正在跟3个老师学习,每天25分钟,重要的是敢说了。学习英语还是说最重要的,通过说来积累词汇量和语法,以此提升综合英语能力。

    学英语但不能学成哑巴英语,所以给孩子选择教育机构的时候,我和宝爸咨询了很多家长。现在成效初见,孩子爱学敢说,英语成绩也进步很大。

    自从上次给我家熊孩子报了英语之后,我觉得我应该向英语的老师多学习一下了,我家那位熊孩子像是着迷一样喜欢他的英文老师,开始我以为他只是开始感兴趣而已,我渐渐地发现他是真的在好好的跟老师学习,我觉得在老师身上我学到了很多东西,在教育引导孩子方面我们真的需要这样的专业老师。

    孩子今年6岁了,会一些简单的英语问候和英语歌曲,平时都是我在家的时候会教一些英语,从来没有接受过专业系统的英语学习,孩子这个年龄是学习英语最好的时候,寻思着给孩子找一个英语培训班,看到网上好多人在推荐英语。

    给孩子找班是一个难题, 要考虑时间 距离 费用老师教的如何等等,在全部解决了,因为ABC是在线少儿英语培训机构,时间距离全都不用考虑,在家有台电脑就可以,而且老师的资质都很不错的!
