Introduction to Letters to Sam

Dear Reader,

Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book．When my 1, Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy．I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then, and I have been 2ill many times．So I wondered if I would have the 3to tell Sam what I had 4.

For years I have been hosting a program on the 5and writing articles for a magazine． Being 6to move freely, I have learned to sit still and keep my heart 7, exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and 8．So when Sam was born, I 9to tell him about school and friendship, romance and work, love and everything else．That’s how I started to write these 10．I hope that Sam would 11them sooner or later.

However, that expectation 12when Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two．He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs．He 13to communicate with others, even the family members．That was 14for me but didn’t stop me writing on．I realized that I had even 15now to tell him．I wanted him to 16what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 17as I myself, his grandfather, did．I just 18if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.

Now, 19the book has been published, I have been given the chance．Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam: some about my life, and all about what it means to be a 20.

The introduction of the iPad,with its touch screen technology,has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer.So what if all children in a school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them?

Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child,teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons.For her,the main advantage of everyone having an iPad had been the improvement in communication.Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting.Children submit their homework by email,or through the school’s learning environment.Teachers now take the register（点名）using their iPad,which means that there is a record of which children are in school,and which classroom they are in.

The use of iPad has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teacher.All communication with parents is now done by email.Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents.The whole class can look at one child’s work by attaching（连接）the iPad to the whiteboard.If a child has forgotten the textbook,the teacher can take a photograph of the relevant（相关的）page and send it to the student in class.

While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized（变革）the way children are taught ,it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching .Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact with paper.The children all have a textbook and exercise books.In Anne Laure’s school,parents feared that the iPads would replace exercise books and children would lose handwriting skills.Anne Laure says,” The teacher are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching.We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources available but we are not ready to let go of paper yet.The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for review.”

2.What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom?

When I was young, my family only moved 200 miles, but it seemed like we had been separated from friends and all things familiar by two continents and an ocean. Long distance phone calls were rare and expensive then, most often kept for emergencies 3. bad news. But people wrote. Both of my grandmothers, and two of my great-aunts wrote to 4. (I).

It was special that someone took an interest 5. a homesick kid. That someone would take the time to share their lives and inquire about mine really 6. (mean) a lot. My mother was a great letter writer. I looked forward to her letters when I left home, went to college and then traveled across the country 7. (work) newspaper jobs. When I married, had children and moved again, still far from home, she wrote 8. (faith). Letters were a way of closing the distance.

Back then, letter writers were storytellers because they were 9. (observe) of the world around them. As phone calls became 10. (afford), then cheap, the flow of letters slowed down and eventually stopped.
