問題詳情：

I teach clay classes to children and adults. One cold afternoon a family came in to    41    a clay class together. It was a one-hour class that was meant to allow the family some fun at    42    their own artistic creations.

Three children aged nine, seven and three sat in their seats      43    to begin their little artistic creations. The warm clay and various tools made their eyes full of     44    . They were so excited to begin. Every word I said made them feel    45    in the clay class and so they began to create. The young artists enjoyed their      46     to touch, feel and express themselves until their parents     47     and controlled their every moment. They were told to do this, do that, use this, not that ... I      48    watched as the little blooms of creations were taken from their small hands.

The children were    49   by their parents who felt if they need to be told and how to create   50    their pieces of art looked good.

The three-year-old who rebelled was told she was    51  . I want to ask how the parents would feel if they were enjoying themselves creating a piece of art and I    52   it from them and totally controlled the    53   of its creation. I asked the controlling father if he would like to have a cup of coffee and let the three-year-old just   54  , explaining she would have fun and stop   55  him. He did and she continued focusing on her work with the most beautiful smile.

The other children looked more    56    and finished their pieces. Mom gave some words of    57    to each of them and their faces lit up with joy.

In today’s world, with a faster and faster pace of life,  I    58  that some parents and teachers are not letting children   59  as they want. It is better to let children create works of art in their own way    60   tell them to do in ways that please us as adults.
