Xinjiang lies in the northwest part of China. Its many cities are popular places for tourist such as Turpan, Kashi, Aksu and the provincial capital(省会) city Urumqi. As Xinjiang is a place with quite a lot of minority groups(少数民族), there are some local traditional festivals that we might not quite know of.
Grape Festival is one traditional festival in Turpan. It is the hometown of grapes. This world-known city welcomes the local people as well as international friends to celebrate the festival together. This festival is not just a celebration of Turpan's most important agricultural product(农产品), but a good chance to enjoy the local way of life. During the yearly Turpan Grape Festival, traditional singing and dancing activities are held. Besides, travelers may visit the grape, melon, and fruit streets.
Turpan Grape Festival is a special event to commemorate the Silk (丝绸) Road so that people will not forget about this road. Turpan is famous as an important point of the road.
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. |
