Lateral thinking, first described by Edward de Bono in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward’s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bono name was so famous, Caspar’s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, "Where do you get that idea from"
"We had to be careful and not overdo it," Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford—which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic. In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. "So then we did several thinking sessions," his father says, "using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well." Soon after, Edward de Bono decided to write his latest book, "Teach Your Child How to Think", in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.
Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children aren’t very logical. So isn’t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think "You know," Edward de Bono says, "if you examine people’s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view."
"Teach Your Child How to Think" offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.

Carl studied in our high school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in a new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.
Last Friday Carl came to our city again. He hoped to stay with his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He’s taller and stronger than before. We swam in the river outside the city together or had a picnic on the island. It surprised me that he has learned to cook when we were travelling in the wild forest. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after himself.
"How do you like your school" I asked.
"Wonderful," said the young man. "It has a tall building and there’re two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And our library is big and there’re plenty of books in it."
"I can see you are happy with it."
"Yes," answered he. "But our geography teacher often says to himself in class."
"So does our new history teacher," I said. "But he doesn’t notice it. He often talks on’ and on, but none of us listens to him!/

A:he often visits me B:I often telephone him C:he writes to me now and then D:I live not far from him
