There is a common belief among parents that school are ho longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range (范围). That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted (略过) to read me composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of me child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had entered on me child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with me presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement

A. the difficulties in teaching spelling
B. the role of spelling in general language development

D. me necessity of teaching spelling

69. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is____.
A. reasonable B. unfair C. foolish D. careless
70. The major point discussed in the passage is _______.
A. the importance of developing writing skills
B. me importance of spelling
C. me correct way of marking composition
