答案 P09

【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了四个人对劳动教育的看法。
1. I hope we can choose whatever courses we like. 题目中句子表示“我希望我们能有机会选择我们喜欢的课程”。根据文中“I hope we can choose whatever courses we like.”可知，两句意思相近。
2. Children. 根据“They need to learn new things, solve problems and grow from their experiences.”及上文中的“Parents won't always help their children with every problem they'll meet in their life.”可知，此处的They指代的是孩子们。
3. master; importance; value 根据“It is necessary for children to know how to master these important life skills as early as possible.”及“I hope these cooking classes will really make the students realise that labour is important and valuable.”可知，劳动教育不仅教学生掌握生活技能，而且教育他们认识到劳动的重要性和价值。master“掌握”是动词，第一个空前有动词不定式符号to，动词用原形；第二个空和第三个空前有the修饰，应填名词，important的名词为importance，valuable的名词为value。
4. I think labour education is very important for every student. Because as students, we need to develop in an all-round way. 开放性试题，言之有理即可。
