Communities around the world place 【小题2】 high value on educating people of all ages, 【小题3】 formally or informally. It is widely believed that constant exposure 【小题4】 new ideas and skills makes people better workers, thinkers, and societal contributors.

Reading, writing, and math are very common lessons for young learners. As students progress in 【小题9】 (they) schooling, they often come into contact with more challenging subjects like writing, history, and advanced sciences.
