It’s 7:40 in the morning. Li Yanming, a 13-year-old student in Beijing, is sitting in class. But many of the seats in the classroom are still empty.   
Beijing has eight rules to ease（减轻）students’ burdens（负担）this year. The rules ask schools to give students more free time.   Other places in China like Fujian and Shandong have similar rules.
What should students do with their new free time?    “Teachers asked us to read Chinese textbooks on Tuesday and Thursday, but now I can decide what to read by myself,” Li said. She gets up and goes to school as usual, but uses the whole week’s morning time to read English textbooks.
Zhang Zhaojie is a 14-year-old student from Xiamen. His school day ends at 5:00 pm.     So he has time to develop（发展）his interests. He plays basketball, watches English movies or draws pictures. “Now my life is not all about study. I can do what I like to make it rich and colorful,” Zhang said.
  But they say that students need to make good use of their time. “Freedom comes with responsibility（责任）. Students should learn to be masters of themselves,” said Liu Mingang, a teacher in Beijing.
