参加课外活动Join Activity

 In China, students have to study all the time, they need to take all kinds of important exams, their parents want their kids take the first place, so students bury their heads in the books. When talking about Chinese kids and foreign kids, it has been admitted that Chinese kids are good at exams, while foreign kids are good at hand work. I think hand work is more important than the exam, students need to do some work to make themselves’ living. Chinese students need to join more activities, it can not only help them broaden¹ their vision², but also can improve their overall³ quality. Besides getting high scores, students also need to learn to do some hand work, or they will become bookworms. Parents should not care so much about the exams, they should give the children more freedom, exam is not everything.

在中国，学生不得不全天学习，他们需要参加各种各样的重要考试，他们的父母想要他们拿第一名，因此学生埋头苦读。当谈到中国的孩子和外国的孩子时候，人们承认，中国的孩子擅长考试，然而外国的孩子擅长手工活。我觉得手工活比考试更加重要，学生需要做一些活来自己适应生活。中国的学生需要多参加课外活动，这不仅能帮助他们开阔眼界，也能让他们提高整体素质。除了拿到高分，学生也要学着去做一些手工活，不然他们就成为了书呆子。家长不应该太在意分数，应该给孩子更多的自由，考试不是一切。
