Passing The Learning Experience

曲永华

家庭教育应该以培养孩子富有开拓精神、能够成为一个自食其力的人为出发点。在教育孩子的过程中，父母应把培养孩子的自理能力放在突出的地位，让他们离开父母的庇护也能独立生活，能够独立解决生活中遇到的问题。

I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was that when my mother got married， she didn’t know how to cook anything， not even an egg.① My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.

②My mother did not start to cook until she was twenty five years old. In the beginning， it was very hard for her. Therefore， she had to take cooking classes to prepare our meals. After having that experience she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn’t want me to have the same experience.

I remember when I was seven years old I started to learn cooking from my mother. Sometimes we prepared the meals that my mother already knew how to make， and sometimes we prepared meals from recipes. Thanks to that experience， now I don’t need any help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself or for a group of people， it doesn’t matter. I will do the same with my children because I don’t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them， I want to be sure that they can continue their life without me.

傳递学习经验

我从来没有上过烹饪课。我是通过向母亲学习才会做饭的，因为她是真的很感兴趣教我怎么做饭。主要原因是我的母亲结婚时，她不知道如何做饭，甚至都不会煮鸡蛋。我的外婆做饭的时候从不允许她留在厨房。

我的母亲直到25岁才开始做饭。最初，做饭对于她来说很难。因此，她不得不参加烹饪班来为我们准备饭菜。有了这些经验后，她决定教我怎么做饭，因为她不希望我有和她同样的经历。

记得我7岁那年，我开始从母亲那里学习烹饪。有时我们准备母亲已经会做的饭菜，有时我们按照食谱准备饭菜。多亏了那段经历，我现在不需要任何帮助就能做饭。我可以为自己或一帮人做饭，这都不要紧。我将对我的孩子做同样的事，因为我不希望他们有和我母亲相同的经历。如果有一天，我和孩子们不在一起了，我确保他们没有我也能够继续他们的生活。

难点解读：

1. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.

我的外婆做饭的时候从不允许她留在厨房。

allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事，例如：

The government will allow them to advertise on radio and television.

政府将准许他们在广播和电视上做广告。

2. My mother did not start to cook until she was twenty five years old.

我的母亲直到25岁才开始做饭。

not ...until...“直到……才……”，例如：

I didn’t understand the meaning of the word until the teacher explained

again.

直到老师再次解释，我才明白这个单词的意思。
