問題: Is it good to reward children too often? Why?
思路 1
No, it’s not good to reward children too often
不,經常獎勵孩子並不好。
考官答案
I don’t think it’s good to reward children too often. If kids get a prize every time they do something, they will start to expect it and might not want to do anything unless there’s a reward. This can make rewards less special and children might not learn to be responsible or work hard on their own. For example, if a child always gets candy for finishing homework, they might refuse to study if there’s no candy.
我認為不應該太常獎勵孩子。如果孩子每次做了什麼事情都能得到獎品,他們會開始期待獎勵,可能除非有獎勵,否則不想做任何事。這會使獎勵變得不那麼特別,孩子也可能學不到負責任或自主努力的重要性。例如,如果孩子每次完成作業都能得到糖果,沒有糖果時他們可能會拒絕學習。
思路 2
Sometimes, but with limits
有時候,但有一定限制
考官答案
I think it’s okay to reward children sometimes, but not all the time. Giving a reward once in a while can make kids feel happy and encourage them to do better. But if they get rewards for everything, it’s not special anymore. It’s better to give rewards for big achievements, like getting good grades or helping someone, instead of for everyday things.
我認為有時候獎勵孩子是可以的,但不應該一直都給。偶爾給予獎勵可以讓孩子感到快樂,並激勵他們做得更好。但如果事事都有獎勵,獎勵就不再特別了。最好是對於重大成就給予獎勵,比如取得好成績或幫助別人,而不是日常的事情。
思路 3
Yes, but use non-material rewards
是的,但使用非物質獎勵
考官答案
Yes, but I think it’s better to use non-material rewards. Saying “good job” or giving extra playtime can make children feel proud and happy. These kinds of rewards help kids learn to value effort and good behavior, not just things like toys or candy. For example, a sticker or a compliment can be enough for young children.
是的,但我認為使用非物質獎勵更好。說「good job」或給予額外的遊戲時間可以讓孩子感到自豪和快樂。這些獎勵有助於孩子學會重視努力和良好行為,而不僅僅是玩具或糖果之類的東西。例如,一張貼紙或一句讚美對年幼的孩子來說就足夠了。
