孩子英语不好，怎么办？
孩子英语不好，我觉得就是下的功夫不到！
我家孩子在英国读硕士，结合她学英语的方法简单说说，看看对你们有帮助没有。
外国人学英语和中国人学中文是一样的，就是要多听，多读，多写，多看。
如果是小学生就应该多听英语故事，多背英语单词，可以课外看些英语动画片，学唱一些简单的英文歌。
如果是初中阶段就要多背单词，语法，多练，背课文。我家孩子初中阶段，他们的英语老师是非常有经验的老师，每天早自习就是考单词，英语书写老师要求全班统一格式和大小，日积月累，他们班孩子的英语作业本就像印刷体的课本一样，中考全班都考上了省重点高中，除了孩子们的努力有关之外，也和每个老师的付出有很大关系。
高中阶段还是要多背单词，学语言词汇量是关键，背整篇的课文，各种时态语态要牢记，答题技巧要掌握，小作文要写好，有时间看看好莱坞全英文大片，看看像梅姨她们那个级别的讲演。
其实学语言最重要的是语言环境，有条件的话多和老外对话可以很快提高你的口语。
零零碎碎说了一些，有不对的地方请各位批评指正。

Snake-like Reflection of a Bo in the Cup
Nearly 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty, there as a county magistrate called Ying Chen. One summer day, he invited his secretary Du Xuan to his house and treated him ith ine.

“杯弓蛇影”这则成语的意思是误把映入酒杯中的弓影当成蛇。比喻因错觉而疑神疑鬼，自已惊扰自已。
这个成语来源于东汉.应劭《风俗通义》，时北壁上有悬赤弩，照于杯，形如蛇。宣畏恶之，然不敢不饮。
有一年夏天，县令应郴请主簿（办理文书事务的官员）杜宣来饮酒。酒席设在厅堂里，北墙上悬挂着一张红色的弓。由于光线折射，酒杯中映入了弓的影子。杜宣看了，以为是一条蛇在酒杯中蠕动，顿时冷汗涔涔。但县令是他的上司，又是特地请他来饮酒的，不敢不饮，所以硬着头皮喝了几口。仆人再斟时，他借故推却，起身告辞走了。
回到家里，杜宣越来越疑心刚才饮下的是有蛇的酒，又感到随酒入口的蛇在肚中蠕动，觉得胸腹部疼痛异常，难以忍受，吃饭、喝水都非常困难。
家里人赶紧请大夫来诊治。但他服了许多药，病情还是不见好转。
过了几天，应郴有事到杜宣家中，问他怎么会闹病的，杜宣便讲了那天饮酒时酒杯中有蛇的事。应郴安慰他几句，就回家了。他坐在厅堂里反复回忆和思考，弄不明白杜宣酒杯里怎么会有蛇的。
突然，北墙上的那张红色的弓引起了他的注意。他立即坐在那天杜宣坐的位置上，取来一杯酒，也放在原来的位置上。结果发现，酒杯中有弓的影子，不细细观看，确实像是一条蛇在蠕动。
应郴马上命人用马车把杜宣接来，让他坐在原位上，叫他仔细观看酒杯里的影子，并说“你说的杯中的蛇，不过是墙上那张弓的倒影罢了，没有其他什么怪东西。现在你可以放心了！”
杜宣弄清原委后，疑虑立即消失，病也很快痊愈了。
To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Gro
Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he ent to the field to atch the seedlings gro. He sa the young shoots break through the soil and gro taller each day. But still, he thought they ere groing too sloly. He got impatient ith the young plants. Ho could the plants gro faster? He tossed in bed during the night and could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not ait for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the moonlight, he began orking on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it as already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, What a onderful idea! Look, ho much taller the plants have gron one night! With great satisfaction, he ent back home. He told his son hat he had done in a triumphant tone. His son as shocked. No the sun had risen. The young man as heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
People no use Ba Miao Zhu Zhang to describe the behavior of those ho are too eager to get something done only to make it orse. The idiom is a bit like the English proverb Haste makes aste ------to spoil things by excessive enthusiasm.
拨苗助长
从前，有个农夫，种了稻苗后，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田时，发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。
他等得不耐烦，心想“怎么样才能使稻苗长得高，长很快呢?
想了又想，他终了想到一个“最佳方法”，就是将稻苗拨高几分。
经过一番辛劳后，他满意地扛锄头回家休息。心想明天稻苗长得一定更高了。
隔天早晨．一早起身，他迫不及待地起去稻田看他的“成果”。
哪知，他跑到稻田时，却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。
相传在战国时代宋国，有一个农民，日出而作，日入而息．遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖；一遇灾荒，可就要忍饥挨饿了．他想改善生活，但他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕，总想碰到送上门来的意外之财。
奇迹终于发生了。深秋的一天，他正在田里耕地，周围有人在打猎。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小野兽没命的奔跑。突然， 有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
当天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此，他便不再种地。一天到晚，守着那神奇的树根，等着奇迹的出现。
成语“守株待兔”，比喻亡想不劳而得，或死守狭隘的经验，不知变通。
