As an educator with more than 40 years of experience, I believe that family is the first school for children. Parents are the first teachers for their children, and family education is vital in terms of cultivating children's minds and adaptability¹. I suggest parents should devote more time to family education instead of too much time and money in choosing the best schools.

到今年，我做教育做了40年，集40年之经验，我可以非常负责任的跟大家说，家庭是孩子的第一所学校，父母是孩子的第一任老师。家庭教育在培养孩子的意识观念和适应能力上起着至关重要的作用。所以我建议家长把更多的时间花在家庭教育上，而不是花费时间和金钱选择最好的学校。

Many books are high-priced, which presents a heavy burden for many people, such as migrant workers and college students. I suggest the country levy² a high tax on luxury goods but a low tax on goods consumed by the general public. For example, badminton could be tax-free, and a high tax could be applied³ to golf.

现在书价高了，让不少群体买书产生了困难，比如进城务工人员、贫困大学生等。我建议，满足大众消费的中低档文化产品可以不征税或者少征税。就像买羽毛球的可以不收税，买高尔夫的收重税。
