Children’s mindsets (心态) have important implications (暗示) for their motivation and performance in school. Children with a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be increased with effort and good learning strategies. As a result, they are motivated to work hard and persist (坚持) when things get challenging, They are not afraid of failure because they view it as an opportunity to learn, a necessary step towards success.

It’s a different story for children with a fixed mindset. These children believe that intelligence is fixed (i.e, we’re either born smart or we’re not). They believe that learning should be easy, and effort

unnecessary, for those who are naturally smart. When children with a fixed mindset struggle to master something or experience failure they assume that they’re not smart and quickly give up.

Studies have shown that children with a growth mindset do better in school than those with a fixed mindset. For example, Lisa Blackwell and her colleagues found that 7th graders who believed that intelligence is malleable (可塑的) earned better grades in mathematics throughout junior high school than students who believed that intelligence is fixed. They also found that students who went through an intervention (干预) teaching malleable intelligence earned better grades than those in a control group. Many other studies show that mindsets can be changed, and a growth mindset is the key factor that determines whether children can make good grades at school or not.

Parents can have a huge impact on children’s mindsets. When children succeed, they may praise their intelligence or talent (“You’re so smart” or “You’re such a good gymnast”), but this type of praise leads to a fixed mindset. It sends the message that performance is due to ability (or lack of ability). Instead, they should praise children’s hard work, good learning strategies and perseverance (坚持不懈), etc.

More importantly, to develop a growth mindset in children, parents should have one themselves. When talking about others’ success, they should talk about the hard work and strategies needed to achieve success (“He must have trained for hours every single day”). Meanwhile, they should talk to children about the mistakes they’ve made and what they’ve learned from them, and then teach them that failure is nothing to be afraid of.

Every time people learn something new, the brain changes by forming new neural connections. The brain gets stronger with training, just like a muscle. Researchers have found that this simple but vivid analogy (类比) helps students learn the growth mindset and achieve better results at school.

With these proven ways, it’s completely possible to develop a growth mindset in children.

第五部分 书面表达 (满分25分)

A popular article that is widely spread online recently lists the cartoon series Chinese parents prefer for their children. At the bottom are domestic (国内的) ones such as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and Boonie Bears, while at the top are the English versions of cartoon series produced by countries like the US and South Korea, such as Bob s Burgers and Backkom.

The article further says that in kindergartens, kids watching the same cartoon series often make friends with each other. Parents whose children can understand English shows look down upon other parents, who only offer children domestic ones, and an invisible wall forms between their kids.

There is a Chinese saying, “don’t let your child lose at the starting line.” It's clear that competition between parents who don't wish their children to lose at the starting line has even started from what kind of cartoon their children watch. Those who choose to shrug off domestic cartoon shows have their reasons. They believe countries including the US, South Korea and Japan are more expert at making cartoon series than China. Children can not only enjoy humorous and imaginative cartoons but also enrich their language by watching them. 【写作内容】
