"The world belongs to you only after you stand up. Please choose your own angle and write about your thoughts on this sentence."

"In the old days, there were many old rules and codes of conduct, like speaking in a quiet and gentle voice, greeting elder people on sight, and standing or sitting up straight. Recently, some people online shared these "old rules" that parents used to require them to obey, a topic which became widely discussed among Chinese netizens. Plan and write your understanding on this phenomena.”

BOYS EXPERIMENT

There is a rising concern that men are losing their masculinity, especially in a society where the only son of the family is smothered with love rather than being given tough love. To solve this issue Shanghai No.8 High School recruited 60 boys for two-boys only class. The hope is that they will flourish in an all-male environment.

They are required to run 1,000 meters every morning and go to the gym once a week, and they are trained with more “manly” courses such as martial arts, Chinese chess and electronic music(?!).

This experiment received mixed reviews. A mother expresses her interest in this class as she expects this to help change her timid and shy son to be more masculine. While some still question this FODVV�ZRXOG�ORZHU�ER\V·�DELOLW\�to communicate with girls.

INTERVIEW FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

I am worried about Gaokao reform, there will be chaos, schools will no longer teach what will be tested. It will have its benefits in the long term, but I am worried of the UHIRUP·V�VKRUW�WHUP�LPSOLFDWLRQV�µ

I believe the benefit of Gaokao is that it is an equal and fair way to judge people based on their efforts. And is also a good way for universities to select the right talents that they need.

“There have been changes around Gaokao throughout the year. Students in the city have the right to choose not to take the Gaokao and study abroad. But for me, I insist to stay in China and take the Gaokao.
