真题例句

Researcher Joan Goodman (1994) suggested that hybrid forms of work and play are not a detriment to learning; rather, they can provide optimal contexts for learning. For example, a child may be engaged in a difficult, goal-directed activity set up by their teacher, but they may still be actively engaged and intrinsically motivated.

研究者Joan Goodman(1994)指出工作和游戏的混合形式并不会妨碍学习；相反，这种形式可以提供最佳的学习环境。例如，一名儿童可能会参与一项由老师设置的、困难的且目标导向的活动，但他们依然可能主动参与并且是出于内在动机的。
