Less Pressure, Better Life

Hello, boys and girls!

Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams。

I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of after-classes at weekends. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem。

That’s all. Thank you!

Since our learning burden was reduced, we have had much more time to enjoy ourselves and develop our own abilities.

Last Saturday, I, together with my friends Zhang Ming and Li Hua, went to the bookstore. We had intended to buy some books to be used as extra homework. But we found that there were so many wonderful books, such as Chicken Soup for the Soul, that we just could not bear to put them down. At last after much mental struggle, we each bought 5 books, including 3 different copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul, so that we could exchange after reading.

Of course I did not forget my academic study. After I finished my homework, I previewed what to be learned in the next week. I also went online to get some information about what I did not understand in my studies, from which I gained a lot of knowledge.

In a nutshell, reducing the learning burden not only gives us more time to have fun but also offers a freedom to develop on our own.

Senior middle school students were heavily burdenedwith all kinds of homework. Because of variesexaminations, they spend about six and half hours inthe class in a day. At home, about three and halfhours were spent on the homework and therefore,most of them got less than seven hours sleep anight. With only about three hours free time forother things. As a result, their health was badlydamaged. Now things are getting better, about five hours spending in class and an hour forhomework are shortened to about two. So they have two more hours sleep and also two morehours free time to do whatever they like.

高中学生课业繁重，他们容易产生压力。由于各种各样的考试，他们每天要花上6个半小时的时间学习。回到家后，他们也要花费3个半小时的时间写作业，所以许多学生的睡眠不足7个小时。学生的课余时间只有3个小时。所以，这严重影响了他们的健康问题。现在事情变好了，以前5个小时的上课时间，以及两个小时的作业时间缩减到了两个小时。这样，他们就有更多的睡眠时间，还有额外两个小时的休息时间。
