As a teacher, I don’t care how “fast” someone learns something. We process information differently. To use myself as an example, I tended to be comparatively slow in my advanced undergraduate mathematics classes. In retrospect, I’ve come to realize that one of the ways I learn is “error-based”. That is, I effectively learn by making mistakes. I seldom worried about “slow learners” when teaching medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn.

It never stops, and never should. 1、For what purpose did the author write the first paragraph? A. To share with readers one of his unforgettable childhood experiences. B.
