Kids, do you think Charlie’s method is good?
小朋友，你覺得Charlie的辦法好不好呢？
But if you can't fly high, how can you be big quickly?
可是，你不能飛高高，你怎麼馬上長大呢？
I can teach you the best way - which is to watch more, listen more, read more, and learn more. You will find that even though your body has not been big yet, you can see farther, you are braver, and have a clearer understanding of your direction.
Bear老師教你一個最棒的辦法，那就是多看、多聽、多閱讀、多學習，你將發現，即使你的身體還沒長大，卻更勇敢，看得更遠，更清楚自己的方向了。
That's because the more you know, the better you are able to handle things, and of course the more powerful and bigger you become.
那是因為，當你知道得越多，你處理事情的能力就越好，當然就更有力量，更強大了。
“Knowledge is power.”意思是「知識就是力量」。請跟Bear老師再說一次。
“Knowledge is power.”
Kids, learning more will help you see farther and make you bigger and more powerful!
小朋友，多學習，讓你看得更遠，讓你更有力量更強大！
See you next time!
我們下次見嘍！
