原题：Great. Some people believe that the current education system needs significant changes to better prepare children for the future, focusing more on skills like problem-solving and teamwork instead of mainly teaching facts. Do you agree or disagree with this viewpoint? Why?

我的表达：

I strongly support this argument. The first reason is that we are now living in the AI era, which is developing very fast. As technology develops rapidly, new problems also come very fast. In order to solve these new problems, children need to be very resilient, smart, and prepared for these changes. We shouldn’t fear these changes. These skills should be cultivated even when they are still primary school students.

替换后的表达

I am a firm believer in this argument. We are currently living in an era of artificial intelligence, where scientific breakthroughs are speeding up the pace of social change. As technology breaks new ground at an incredible rate, recurring problems emerge, often making adaptation an arduous process.

To effectively tackle these challenges, tomorrow’s students must learn to use lateral thinking and enhance their problem-solving ability. Rather than being shrouded in secrecy or fear, children should be encouraged to welcome these advancements with open arms. Therefore, fostering these qualities should be one of the primary aims of education, and such training must be integrated into the core curriculum from as early as primary school to ensure they grow into well-rounded and well-adjusted adults.

原题：Thank you for agreeing to participate. I’d like to ask you some questions about childhood education. First, did you enjoy your school experience as a child?

我的表达：

I enjoyed my education experience as a child very much. First of all, the teachers in my primary school and kindergarten were very kind and really took care of me; I felt a lot of love and care from them. Secondly, I also learned many life skills that a child needs from them. I believe they prepared me very well to be a better student in junior high school.

替换后

I look back on my early education as a very rewarding experience. During my time in kindergarten and primary school, I was fortunate enough to have teachers who were true mentors. They effectively took me under their wing, providing a level of care that fostered a strong sense of belonging.

Beyond basic academics, they helped me acquire knowledge and essential problem-solving abilities that every child needs. I am a firm believer that their guidance formed the basis of my future academic attainment, ensuring I was well-prepared to become a well-rounded student in junior high school.

原题： Tell me about a school project or activity you participated in. What made that project or activity special?

我的表达：

I took part in a Go club when I was in primary school. I found a lot of interest in it. By playing Go, I also learned how to compete with others using my brain. It is a good activity to exercise children’s minds and is beneficial for their future studies. Also, I met many new friends while playing Go because it is interesting to play with others.

替换后：

During my time in primary school, I chose to participate fully in an extra-curricular activity—the Go club. This experience kindled my interest in strategy and logical thinking from a young age. Playing Go was more than just a game; it was intense mental work that forced me to use lateral thinking to outsmart my opponents.

I am a firm believer that such activities form the basis of a child’s problem-solving ability, which significantly enhances their future academic performance. Furthermore, it provided a wonderful platform to socialise with others and get along with like-minded peers, making the whole experience very rewarding

原题：Interesting. Tell me a little about the technology you used during your childhood education. Do you feel like that technology prepared you for life after school? Why or why not?

我的表达：

Since I am twenty years old now, the technology back when I was a child was not very avant-garde; it was actually a little bit outdated. The main technology I encountered as a child involved watching TV and DVDs, including some educational series on DVD. By listening to and watching them, I formed a basic knowledge of the world.

替换后

As a twenty-year-old, I recall that today’s scientific breakthroughs had not yet become widely available during my early years. Back then, technology was somewhat outdated compared to the current information highway. Instead of artificial intelligence, the primary multimedia tools I used were televisions and DVDs.

Engaging with educational serials on these platforms kindled my interest in various subjects and formed the basis of my understanding of the world. I am a firm believer that this process allowed me to acquire knowledge effectively. Even though it wasn’t as advanced as modern systems, the experience was very rewarding and ensured I was well-prepared for my future academic attainment.
