　　教育类话题思路参考

　　1.关于教育的手段：教育的手段可以是多种多样的，纸质书、电子书、音频、视频甚至游戏都可以成为教育的形式（form），它们各自有其独特的优势，如一些古籍（ancient books）只存在纸质版本，而电子书会更方便储存、查找和携带。音频、视频、游戏等更能够吸引学生的注意力。

　　2.关于教育的内容：教育的内容需包含理论知识（theory）与实践技能（practice）两大板块，理论知识也就是客观规律（objective laws）的总结，而实践技能也就是如何将这些规律运用于改造世界，二者缺一不可（indispensable）。同时，教育的内容一定要是学生感兴趣的东西，因为只有这些才是他们愿意坚持（persist）的，才是对他们未来的职业发展（career development）有意义的。

　　3.关于教育的目的：教育的目的是培养优良的性格品质（characteristics）和出色的学术能力，前者比后者更为重要，学生只有具备了热爱知识的态度、坚韧不拔的精神、乐于奉献的性格，才能够成为一个推动社会进步的人。
