《2025年通城学典课时作业本八年级英语下册译林版苏州专版》

One day I will write a big book about the Lilliput. I will not describe all the customs here, but I do want to say something about this interesting country.
The Lilliputians are well - educated people, but their way of writing is strange. They do not write from left to right like the Europeans or from the top of the page downwards, like the Chinese. They write from one corner of the paper to the opposite corner!
Their ideas about children are very different from ours. They do not believe that parents should choose their children's education. All children are taken away from their parents when they are young, and are sent to nursery schools(幼儿园). When they are older, children go to different schools. Some children go to schools where they learn about equality, honor and bravery. Some others go to schools where they learn different job skills.
Their teachers are always with them. Their parents are allowed to visit them twice a year and kiss them on greeting and leaving, but they may not whisper to their children, use loving words, or bring them presents or sweets.
Girls also go to schools, where they learn the same things as boys. They are also taught about family life. But they never hear about the stories of silly women. As a result, the women of Lilliput are smart and wise.
