    Summer schools Summer vacation means long days, sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun. It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year. But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge, so they send their children to summer schools. Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have learnt during the school year.

    In summer schools, students probably study in a more relaxing situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers. Usually, the number of students attending summer schools is smaller, so this gives them a good chance to connect with other students and teachers better. If a student has failed a course, summer schools may help him or her. Moreover, they are building their creativity （创造力）and imagination（想象力）as well as learning social skills.

    On the other hand, summer schools bring children problems at the same time. It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn without playing. That is too long. As a result, it may make them less interested in school during the coming year.

    For many students, taking summer classes can be a tiring experience. Teachers teach the subjects too quickly, which only harms the whole education of students. Summer schools are usually expensive. They usually offer only a few subject. So many students have to take classes that they don't like.

    A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it, but it can be difficult for students who need a rest. So you can decide whether a summer school is suitable for your children.

    Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed last month. According to the result of the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.

     Voice of the students:

         “Our parents hold too high expectations（期待）which put us under lots of pressure（压力. They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.

    “It's impolite that some students' parents read their children's diaries without permission!”one student said angrily.

    “Some of our teachers are so serious that we can't make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.

    Voice of the parents:

    One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. And I can't stand her clothes and hairstyle!”

    “I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn't realize I was being cheated (欺骗)by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.

    Voice of the teachers:

    An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students' brain. The power teachers have kept students away from them.”

    “Some parents pay too much attention to their children's grades. They never create a lively and colorful environment at home,” another teacher said.

    “In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. Today, only studies and grades are talked about,” said a teacher.

    Voice of scientists:

    Scientists say that a school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure bravely enough.

    A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom of life.

    "Excuse me! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Is it the day we were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?" the young man asked.

    "None. The most important day in our lives is today." the wise man replied calmly.

    "Why?" the young man was very surprised. "{#blank#}2{#/blank#}"

    "No. Nothing has happened today."

    "So is it because of my visit?"

    "Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; {#blank#}3{#/blank#}No matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands."

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, "When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

    'USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?' We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

    It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

    But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.    

    Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

    We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

    One of the easiest ways to keep healthy is to do jogging. Jogging is the name for very gentle (平和的) running-it is just a little faster than walking.

    First jog slowly 20 meters, and then walk 20 meters. Little by little if you are not feeling very tired, you may jog more and walk less. Finally, jog the whole way. It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week. Then slowly increase this to 20 ~ 30 minutes every day. The longer you join in jogging, the more you will enjoy it and the healthier you will become. Some people like jogging alone and others enjoy doing it with friends. Jogging in groups makes people keener (更热心的) because you just can't stay in bed while there is a group of friends waiting outside.

If you want to start jogging, prepare a pair of comfortable shoes and a determined(坚定的) mind.
