當別的孩子在玩耍的時候，很難想象一個學生能集中精力在課本上。

77. Moreover, children will have less time to play and communicate with their peers due to extra studies, consequently, it is difficult to develop and cultivate their character and interpersonal skills. They may become more solitary and even suffer from certain mental illness.

而且，由于要額外地學習，孩子們沒有多少時間和同齡的孩子玩耍和交流，很難培養他們的個性和交際能力。他們可能變得孤僻甚至產生某些心理疾病。

盡管父母能在他們孩子身上投入更多時間和精力，但是必須承認，與工作在幼兒園的專職教師相比，他們在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知識和經驗。

通過以上討論，我們可以得出如下結論：盡管家長想親自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是這樣做的缺點遠大于優點。

只要一提起藝術和文化項目，一些政府領導就會興奮不已，他們滔滔不絕地說著美麗的公園，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，還有滿是稀世珍寶的藝術展覽館。他們認為在經濟發展中，沒有什么比這些藝術項目更重要了。

87. But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think. In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.

這是真的嗎？這些年我收集的信息讓我相信這些文化、藝術項目并沒有許多政府想象的那么重要。事實上，基礎設施建設非常重要，應該放在首位。

然而，很少有證據表明大公司愿意把巨額的資金投到一個連水電這些基礎設施都不完善的地方去。

90. From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in people's life and economic growth.
