Fly your imagination

Have you ever heard of big chessmen that were bigger than a girl? Have you ever heard of speaking gardens? These extraordinary things became true in Through the Looking-Glass. Let us go into it and fly our imagination.
Alice, a young girl, went into the world in the mirror accidentally. She met many strange things in this world, like huge chessmen and speaking gardens. She saw a big chessboard and the red queen. She was told to be a pawn. After a long journey, she became a queen. In her journey, she met the red king who was dreaming, a large egg called Humpty Dumpty, many speaking animals on the train, two active twins and so on. But eventually, she found it was only a dream of hers.
That is a fairy tale, and in this story, I found that the writer of this book is really fantastic. Well, in my opinion, this story tells us to keep our imagination. As we know, there’re many occupations in this society that need nice imagination. Architects need it to design the buildings, artists need it to draw fabulous paintings, authors need it to produce new articles and novels, inventors need it to try out new ideas, even farmers need it to grow crops in better manners. Thus, we need to keep a nice imagination. But now, many parents and teachers force their children to study and study , constraining their imagination, this is not the right way. I remember I have read an article about education. The summary of this article is as this: In 1980, several Chinese teachers went to America to see their class. To their surprise, American students were not as quiet as Chinese students in the class. They flew paper airplanes, draw pictures, and play mirrors. They didn’t have any homework as well. Also in 1980, many American teachers visited china. One of the teachers told the journalists: “Why do they have to do a strange thing called ‘homework’?” but many Americans gained the Nobel Prize so far, Chinese didn’t.
I always think about a question: “If we played paper planes often, then the first airplane would be made in china; if we played mirrors usually, the first light would be produced in china!” Clearly, doing much homework is not the best way to improve us. We need a free space to fly our imagination, for ourselves, for motherland and for the whole world. I am living in a warm family, with a free space that I can fly my imagination. I really like making small things such as paper-cut, model plane and so on. At the age of four, my grandfather told that a child who is not good at playing scissors wouldn’t be clever. I believed it deeply. Now I know what my grandfather meant.
Having a good imagination is not so hard, I think. Just like a little baby, watch everything in a curious sight, and think of nice everything, no matter if it is possible or impossible, attempt everything which is safe and good, just like Alice and the author of Through the Looking-Glass.
Let us fly our imagination and here’s a saying that I want to give to you, ‘imagination is the beginning of creation’.
