If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher“s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe“ . He will tend to write only words within his s

3、pelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That“s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

4、re are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat.“ It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil“s technical abilities in writing. But it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child“s deep feeli

5、ngs. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors.

10、 fight climate change, while buzzwords such as clean energy, green energy and renewable energy receive much publicity. New energy is a concept that is contrary to traditional fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal. In addition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass power

11、 new energy sources also include nuclear power. As a non-renewable energy source, nuclear energy almost produces no pollution. But it consumes uranium (铀) fuel and produces nuclear waste. The development of nuclear energy also requires big investment. Yet it is a good alternative to fossil fuels as

12、 the world is striving to curb carbon dioxide emissions. Clean energy, or green energy, refers to those energy sources that cause no pollution. As nuclear energy almost produces no pollution, some experts also classify it as a kind of clean energy source. A similar concept is renewable energy, which
