Are you ready to discuss our presentation? 00:00:55,400 Yeah, sure. 00:00:56,720 So what are we going to say about teachers reading picture books with young children? 00:01:01,200 Hmm. I think we should start with the reasons why teachers use picture books. 00:01:05,760 The journal article we read mentioned several picture books and why they're popular with teachers. 00:01:11,160 Right. Like I Spy Friends, it's a lovely story. 00:01:14,940 Yeah. The children like to find the familiar faces from the fairy tales they know so well. 00:01:20,660 And they're all doing predictable things. The article said children find this familiarity very comforting. 00:01:26,320 Yes. Now, how about Good Night, Little Rabbit, which has those delightful pictures? I love the way the colors get darker as the book progresses, indicating how evening turns into night. 00:01:39,120 Me too. The article said that's why teachers like it. 00:01:42,640 Very cute, and a good example of visual subtext. Hard to believe that it came out over sixty years ago. It's still relevant. 00:01:51,580 I really liked what the article said about The Boat Party. There's a lot of repetition, which I think would be great for vocabulary development. 00:01:59,000 That's true. But apparently, it's the images that make it popular with children. The artist is really well-known, and children often ask for her books. 00:02:08,340 Oh, that's good to know. 00:02:10,539 And shall we also include Puppy and Friends? 00:02:13,760 Yes. It sounds like an innocent title, but the article warns that there's a bit of a fright. You know, the one on the last page when the puppy suddenly encounters the scary cat. Teachers like to use this to help children explore their emotions. 00:02:26,760 Sounds good. Hats and Socks is a good one. It doesn't really have a beginning and an end, does it? Which is unusual. 00:02:35,540 That's why teachers like this one, though. Because it's so different, it's good for children to hear a story that doesn't follow the usual pattern. 00:02:43,489 And the pages are so full of life and color. A good choice. 00:02:47,720 Mm-hmm. 00:02:48,720 Okay, and for our last one, how about A Family Adventure? 00:02:54,080 This one uses a lot of the same language throughout, which I think can help with letter and word recognition. Teachers say it has a really poetic feel to it. They often sing it to a simple tune. 00:03:06,440 Yes, and it's full of beautiful watercolors too. 00:03:13,140 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:03:23,640 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:03:45,920 In the next part of our presentation, shall we look at some of the other research? I really liked Smith's article about the history of picture books. Picture books haven't been around for that long, of course, and as we know from our reading lists, there's a lot of research on them already. Smith makes some interesting points. 00:04:04,480 Yes. One thing that shocked me was that some people don't consider picture books as proper writing because they don't have enough words in them. 00:04:11,800 Yes, that was unexpected for me as well. I think they should be just as respected as other works of fiction. Smith also mentioned that books from other countries are very popular here, even though they don't show our daily life. I think that's interesting. 00:04:27,860 But it's the same for adult fiction too. People want variety. What I didn't realize is how fixed the number of pages is. 00:04:35,710 Me neither. I wasn't expecting that they're so strictly limited to thirty-two pages. It's important, so let's include it. 00:04:44,020 All right. Now let's think about other aspects of picture books we want to include in our presentation. How about the characters? 00:04:52,040 Okay. Well, a lot of them feature animals or families, often in very traditional roles. But do you think we need to talk about that? For me, the main thing is that they are mostly printed as board books. The cardboard material makes it easy for young children to turn their pages. 00:05:09,940 I agree. And it's essential for children to hold books and learn how they open at the front, and that the text goes in a certain direction. 00:05:17,740 Good point. Why don't we also discuss how culture is important in picture books, like the importance of respecting the elderly? 00:05:26,060 Yes. It's probably different all over the world. 00:05:29,720 Would it be interesting to make a comparison between modern and historical picture books and consider future directions for the genre? 00:05:37,160 It sounds interesting, but I don't have any research on that, so we'd better leave it. 00:05:42,740 So what's next? We don't need- 00:05:46,900 That is the end of part three. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to Part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21.
