当我们对一件陌生的事物或者活动产生兴趣的时候，似乎总想去看、去闻、去触摸，并尝试与自己以往的经历结合。我曾经在课堂上给同学们开了一罐腊八蒜，所有的同学都跃跃欲试，想要一探究竟腊八蒜的味道到底有多上头。当然，有的同学很享受过程中的嗅觉体验，有的同学则避退三舍，恨不得跳出十里之外。

在这个过程中，大家都在主动分享各自的体验与经历，同时也对腊八蒜产生了各种好奇。腊八蒜为什么会变成绿色呢？从腊八蒜的名字就能看出其制作开始时间，那到什么时候才吃呢？这其中包含了哪些带有地区特色的习俗呢？这一系列的问题涉及到化学、历史、地理、社会文化等等学科。一个小小的活动，一旦激发兴趣我们就能带着好奇心去探索无限的知识。

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.

一个小小的举动，就能够激发同学们的好奇心。爱莎荔湾鼓励同学们主动的探究和建立与现实世界的联系，在课堂内外将学生培养成为全面发展的探究者。

当然，探索知识领域的过程，总归不会一帆风顺。如果没有兴趣作为我们探索道路上的助推力，势必会造成草草收场、无功而返的结局。而要想让自己有所突破，第一个客观需求就是你愿意花多少时间去跨越障碍，突破自己。当我们沉浸于自己的世界，做自己喜欢的事情，便很容易忽略时间的飞逝。而只要有足够的时间积累，我们也必然能在探索的道路上，找到自己的指路明灯。

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.

随着时间的积累，我们对自己兴趣领域的了解也会从略知一二变为深谙此道的业内专家。可能同学们会认为，既然都成为业内专家了，为什么还要学？举个简单的例子，我们一开始感兴趣的可能是整个800人演艺厅，而后慢慢探索发现原来灯光都集中在舞台，而一个小小舞台原来也有很多门道，很多讲究。此时，同学们可能会对其中一个微小的领域，产生更大的兴趣，然后周而复始，不断研究探索。最终你可能变成舞台服装设计师、视觉效果设计师、导演、编剧。当然，你也可能就是未来站在舞台中间闪闪发光的自己。

可见，每一个从兴趣入门，不断探索的过程，也是挑战自己，突破自己的过程。假以时日，也必将获得新的成就。恰如孔子所言，“知之者不如好之者，好之者不如乐之者。”

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.”
