ChaiJing, who worked for China Central Television (CCTV) from 2001 to 2013 as a TV reporter made a documentary(纪录片) named under the Dome (穹顶之下)to educate the public about smog. It is released(发行)online on March 1st, 2015.
In the opening of the documentary, Chai tells the story of her daughter with a begin tumor (良性肿瘤)before her birth. “ I couldn't help worrying while seeing the polluted sky in Beijing,” she says. She only took her daughter outside when the air in Beijing was good. The rest of the time she had to keep her at home like a “prisoner(囚犯)”. And there were175 polluted days in 2014 in Beijing.
In the documentary, Chai had an interview with a six-year-old girl, WangHuiqin, who live in Shanxi Province, a heavily polluted area in China. The girl told Chai that she had never seen stars, blue skies or white clouds in her village.
Chai also went to London and Los Angeles, which had both suffered air pollution in the past, to learn how they had improved their environment.
Chai spent one year making this 103-minute film, which cost her over 1 million yuan. In the documentary, Chai tries to answer three questions. They are “ What is smog”, “ Where does it come from?” and “What should people do?” And she calls on everyone to get into the fight against smog.

①Gamaham: The most difficult thing about learning English is to remember new words. I study the words and remember them, but a week later I have forgotten most of them. When reading something in English, I always get into trouble when I come across a new word. There must be a better way to learn new words. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
②Viekers: I have been studying English for so long now, and I don't enjoy it any more. I used to like it, but now I feel as if I'm not making any progress. I wish there was something I could do to make me interested in studying English again. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
③Selina: I wish I could improve my spoken English. Every time I join in a group discussion or try to speak English to someone, I find it difficult to express myself. I don't know what to say and I can't think of the words I need. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
④Gina: I don't like English at all. Why do we have to study English? I'd rather spend more time on maths and science, because I think those subjects are more important. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
⑤Jim: I think it's easy to remember new grammar rules, but when writing something I always make a lot of mistakes. How can I learn to use the rules that I have learned? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Yu Minhong, president of New Oriental Education, shared his ideas with the young after the English speech competition of the 14th China Daily. Here is some of his advice to young people:
“One suggestion I'd like to give you is that it's important to do what you like without fear of failure. And the process(过程)of working toward your dreams matters more than the results. Young people should take chances to show off talents. Take competitions like this one as an example: If you are afraid to fail, you'll never get the chance to stand on the stage and make a speech. Above all, it's most important to take part.
Another suggestion I want to give you is to read books. It is not easy to keep reading every day. For me, it is much more difficult and challenging to keep reading and taking notes every day than it is to walk 10,000 steps.”
In his speech, Yu also shared his view on life. He chose a different life rather than a more successful one. He uses the famous lines of American poet Robert Frost (1874–1963) to make his point:“Two roads diverged (分叉) in a wood, and I … took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”Yu pointed out, “Your happiness should not be what others think you should run after, but instead you should decide what it is. It is you who should make choices for your own life.”
