Nowadays reference books have become a problem of great concern for both
teachers and students. There are many kinds of reference books
available in the book market. A smarter use of these books is certainly
beneficial.But the misuse and over-use of them may cause a lot of
problems.
First of all,teaching reference books might make the students less
attentive in class. Armed with reference books,many students may think
that they know what the teacher is going to talk about. So they may not
listen to the teacher in class at all. Secondly,some students rely on
the reference books too much, which is unfavorable to the improvement of
their ability to work out the solutions for themselves. Thirdly,there
are some reference books with many mistakes, which might mislead the
students.
Considering the above mentioned, we should be careful in selecting
and using reference books. Firstly,we should check the contents of the
book carefully,but not only pay attention to the brand of the publishing
house. In addition we can turn to the recommendation of teachers and
students around us. Besides,reference books are just an assistant, so we
shouldn't rely on them too much. Only in this way can we make full use
of reference books.
