當我們對一件陌生的事物或者活動產生興趣的時候，似乎總想去看、去聞、去觸摸，并嘗試與自己以往的經歷結合。我曾經在課堂上給同學們開了一罐臘八蒜，所有的同學都躍躍欲試，想要一探究竟臘八蒜的味道到底有多上頭。當然，有的同學很享受過程中的嗅覺體驗，有的同學則避退三舍，恨不得跳出十里之外。

在這個過程中，大家都在主動分享各自的體驗與經歷，同時也對臘八蒜產生了各種好奇。臘八蒜為什么會變成綠色呢？從臘八蒜的名字就能看出其制作開始時間，那到什么時候才吃呢？這其中包含了哪些帶有地區特色的習俗呢？這一系列的問題涉及到化學、歷史、地理、社會文化等等學科。一個小小的活動，一旦激發興趣我們就能帶著好奇心去探索無限的知識。

When we become interested in an unfamiliar object or activity, we are always eager to see, smell, touch, and try to connect it to our previous experiences. This happened exactly when I opened a jar of Laba garlic in the class. All the students were eager to find out how good the taste of garlic was. Of course, some students enjoyed the smell, while others found it repulsive and couldn"t wait to jump ten miles away.

During this process, everyone was actively sharing their own experiences, and simultaneously it aroused their curiosity about Laba Garlic. Why does Laba garlic turn green? The name of the garlic can tell when it starts, but when can we eat it? What kind of local traditions are included? The series of questions involves chemistry, history, geography, culture studies and other disciplines. Starting with a small activity, once the interest gets ready, we can explore unlimited knowledge with curiosity.

A small action can raise students" curiosity. ISA Liwan cultivates and encourages students to explore in class and daily life and establish links with the real world as comprehensive inquirers.

一個小小的舉動，就能夠激發同學們的好奇心。愛莎荔灣鼓勵同學們主動的探究和建立與現實世界的聯系，在課堂內外將學生培養成為全面發展的探究者。

當然，探索知識領域的過程，總歸不會一帆風順。如果沒有興趣作為我們探索道路上的助推力，勢必會造成草草收場、無功而返的結局。而要想讓自己有所突破，第一個客觀需求就是你愿意花多少時間去跨越障礙，突破自己。當我們沉浸于自己的世界，做自己喜歡的事情，便很容易忽略時間的飛逝。而只要有足夠的時間積累，我們也必然能在探索的道路上，找到自己的指路明燈。

Of course, the process of exploring knowledge will not always be smooth. If the interest cannot act as a catalyst for our exploration, it will inevitably lead to a hasty and fruitless ending. In order to make a breakthrough, the first need is how much time you are willing to spend to overcome obstacles and excel yourself. When we immerse ourselves in our own world and do what we love, it"s easy to overlook the passage of time. As long as spend enough time, we will inevitably be able to find our own headlight on the way of exploration.

隨著時間的積累，我們對自己興趣領域的了解也會從略知一二變為深諳此道的業內專家。可能同學們會認為，既然都成為業內專家了，為什么還要學？舉個簡單的例子，我們一開始感興趣的可能是整個800人演藝廳，而后慢慢探索發現原來燈光都集中在舞臺，而一個小小舞臺原來也有很多門道，很多講究。此時，同學們可能會對其中一個微小的領域，產生更大的興趣，然后周而復始，不斷研究探索。最終你可能變成舞臺服裝設計師、視覺效果設計師、導演、編劇。當然，你也可能就是未來站在舞臺中間閃閃發光的自己。

可見，每一個從興趣入門，不斷探索的過程，也是挑戰自己，突破自己的過程。假以時日，也必將獲得新的成就。恰如孔子所言，“知之者不如好之者，好之者不如樂之者。”

As time passes by, we are able to gain a better understanding of the area we are interested in and become experts in the industry. Maybe some of us will ask if this is true, why are we still learning? For example, we may be interested in the entire auditorium at first, but later discover that the light rays are converging on the stage. In fact, this small stage might contain lots of knowledge. At this point, students may become more interested in a smaller area, keeping exploring it over and over again. You could end up being a costume designer, VA designer, director, or playwriter. Of course, you may also be in the middle of the stage.

This is also a process of challenging and excelling yourself. New achievements will surely be achieved if we seize the time. As Confucius said, "Those who know it are not as good as those who love it, and those who love it are not as good as those who engage it.”
