Imagine that the ship was in trouble. What could you do to help yourselves? 我觉得首先应该确认遇到困难的轻重程度，看是哪个地方出了问题如果是船只故障，可以停船维修，如果是环境恶劣造成的，可以等待天气好转在航行，这期间大家应该团结一致，节省食物以备急用，也可稍作休整恢复精力等天气好转更好的出发航行，探险者可能会碰到比如食物短缺，船只损坏不能维修，与外界失去联络等等不利因素，也可能遭遇暴风雪等恶劣天气，这时候就是考验探险者们的勇气和精神的时候了。Ithinkfirstofallshouldrecognizethedifficultiesencounteredinseveritytoseewhichplaceisoutofthequestionifthevesselfails,youcanstopformaintenance,ifitiscausedbypoorconditions,theycanwaitfortheweatherimprovedduringthevoyage,duringwhichweshoulduniteandsavefoodforemergencies,butalsoalittlerestandrestoreenergyandotherweatherimprovesbetterstartingsailing,Explorersmayencounter,suchasfoodshortages,vesseldamagecannotberepaired,lostcontactwiththeoutsideworld,andsounfavorablefactors,mayalsobecaughtinablizzardandotherinclementweather,thisisthetestoftimeexplorerscourageandspiritofthetime.5.

What is different about how adults and children learn? The first difference is that children are not concerned with the time spent in class. They know they must be there for a certain amount of time, and they accept that fact. When it comes to the adult learner, their responsibilities often compete with their desire to learn. The adult learners responsibilities far exceed those of children. These learners must manage their time very well to accommodate their classroom and study time. The second difference is that older adolescents and adults are impatient learners. They have specific goals they are trying to achieve, and these goals are what drive their acquisition of classroom knowledge. Children, however, are not in a hurry to acquire knowledge in a particular amount of time. The next difference is children need a great deal of direction when it comes to the learning process. If their activities are not teacher directed, chaos and confusion are the result. Adult learners enjoy self direction. The teacher becomes a facilitator more than instructor. An additional difference between children and the adult learner is children are prone to learning information by rote or memory. The adult learners approach is acquisition of knowledge from practical everyday experiences and knowledge. They prefer to learn by doing rather than listening to lectures in a classroom environment. Finally, the adult learner may have auditory or vision discrimination problems. They might not be able to see images and words on computer screens as clearly as children. Unlike children, these learners may not have had a vision or hearing test for years. The glasses they wear may be an outdated prescription or belong to a friend. In conclusion, there are numerous other differences between adult learners and children. I have merely touched the surface with my comparisons. So, the next time you encounter an adult learner, remember they are no longer children sitting in the classrooms but older, wiser more experienced learners who are eager to make their contributions to our world.7.
