Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.]
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn’t think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
| A．Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother. |
| B．Because he did something wrong. |
| C．Because the teacher was happy with his progress. |
| D．Because the teacher thought he was too lazy. |

China has decided to take actions to stop the use of free plastic bags. Supermarkets and shops in China aren’t allowed to offer free plastic bags.
Every year, people use too many plastic bags and fail to deal with them in a right way. While we offer quick and useful service to customers, the plastic bags cause serious pollution as well. For example, people will throw away plastic bags after they use them. The waste plastic bags may fly with the wind and make the environment ugly. Worse still, animals may eat them by mistake and die. Besides, It’s difficult to find new land to put the waste plastic bags in, so plastic bags are burned. The burning plastic bags give out harmful gas.
So the government encourages people to go back to carry cloth bags and use baskets for their shopping things.
