A Kind Grandmother
Mrs. Wallace had two grandchildren. They lived near her house. They visited her house every day after school.
She was very good at making things. One day she made some beautiful
dolls and gave them to her grandchildren to play with.
The grandchildren wanted some pet rabbits, and Mrs. Wallace said she
could make a hutch to keep them in. The children went to ask their parents.
"Can we please have some pet rabbits?" they asked.
"Where will you keep them?" their father asked. "You need a hutch for them."
"Grandma will make a hutch for them," the children said.
The father and mother talked about it. They told the children they could have two rabbits. But they must put them in the hutch.
Mrs. Wallace went to a shop and bought wood, paint and nails (钉子). She worked all daywhen the children were at school. After school they came to watch and help.
The next day Mrs. Wallace finished (完成) the hutch and painted it. Then she thought about how to get it to the children. It was too big to put into her car.
"I know," she thought. "I'll put it on the wheelbarrow(手推车) and wheel it there. It's not far."
On the way to the children's house, aman saw her and said. "That's very nice. Did you make it yourself?"
"Yes," she said happily." I made it for my grandchildren." "Really?" he said. "I thought it was for rabbits!
China introduced the "double reduction (双减)" policy in July, 2022. According to the policy, it should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework. Several months have passed since the new term began. Here are the two students' points of view. | |
"Our homework is clearly less than before," said 15-year-old Xie Dong from Shijiazhuang. "We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more. The exercises are mainly from the textbook." Students have enough time to learn new knowledge now. "Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life," said Xie. Self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. "Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students," he said. "And we have few exams, I don't think it is a good thing." | |
For 15-year-old Zhang Jing from Langfang, the best thing about "double reduction" is the increased time in after-school activities. "We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called "leadership development" where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond schoolwork," said Zhang. There are fewer exams now. But it's not necessarily a good thing. "Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points," Zhang said. |
