34、heir children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan who teach mathematics at more advanced level.

35、 cities. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, in

36、cluding the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.

40、poser. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another.

41、materials to create colorful patterns, and an expert carpenter has the skill of joining together different shapes and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture. These skills may be referred to as “workmanship“. Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies and rhythms and combines

42、 sounds to create harmony.
