Scenario Dialogue / 情景对话

Two parents exchange views on children's education. Read it aloud twice: once for meaning, once for fluency — the syllabus tests this task across listening and speaking.

A
你们家孩子周末上几个补习班?
Nǐmen jiā háizi zhōumò shàng jǐ gè bǔxíbān?
How many extra classes does your child take on weekends?
B
一个都没有。我觉得孩子需要时间玩儿,兴趣比分数更重要。
Yí gè dōu méiyǒu. Wǒ juéde háizi xūyào shíjiān wánr, xìngqù bǐ fēnshù gèng zhòngyào.
None at all. I think kids need time to play — interest matters more than scores.
A
可是别的孩子都在学,我担心他以后跟不上。
Kěshì bié de háizi dōu zài xué, wǒ dānxīn tā yǐhòu gēn bu shàng.
But all the other kids are studying — I worry mine will fall behind.
B
与其让孩子被动地学,不如培养他自己学习的习惯。
Yǔqí ràng háizi bèidòng de xué, bùrú péiyǎng tā zìjǐ xuéxí de xíguàn.
Rather than making them study passively, it is better to develop their habit of learning on their own.
A
你说的也有道理,教育确实不能只看成绩。
Nǐ shuō de yě yǒu dàolǐ, jiàoyù quèshí bù néng zhǐ kàn chéngjì.
You have a point — education really shouldn't be only about grades.
