作品簡介：瀏覽作品說明書競賽日誌心得報告 Children always play an important role in the future. We chose the familiar story “Chinese Zodiac” and combined it with English proverbs, so that children can not only understand the meaning behind the Chinese zodiac, but also learn English proverbs. The integration of Chinese and Western cultures should be launched worldwide. Hopefully, our children will command both the fluency of English and the knowledge of different cultures. In the future, they will become the multi-cultured citizens of the global village. Therefore, we devoted ourselves to making children read in a creative and interactive way, and we tried making use of the Chinese zodiac story to learn English proverbs. There are some reasons why we made this interactive book. First, we’d like to spread Chinese culture to the world through English as a tool. Second, we hoped to enhance children’s language skills, among which reading is a key role. Third, we wanted to motivate children to read and learn some English without pressure. Finally, interaction is important, which can not only catch children’s attention but also inspire their brain-storming. Therefore, we decided to make an interactive book for the children.
