Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries such as the US,
the UK, Australia and Japan.
"Chinese children hope very much to go 1 to get a wider view (视野) of the world," said Chen Yi,
a Chinese writer who has lived in America for 16 years. In a talk Chen told more than 300 parents and their
children that life in foreign countries can be 2 for young people." They have to meet a culture shock and
language problems."
However, these are not the most difficult things. To most children, looking after themselves when
studying alone in a foreign country is a big 3 .
Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student began to study in a high school in Sydney, Australia last October. To his
surprise, his teachers there 4 pushed students to study. And 5 there wasn"t homework. "With these
education systems (体制), we have more 6 time and more space for thinking," said Zhang." But if you
don"t know how to 7 your time and money, you will not have an easy time." Some of his friends spent
their whole year"s money in the first two months of the term, and they didn"t pass their exams.
"Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign language 8 and broaden (拓宽) their
minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges," Chen said. " 9 you want to study
abroad, try to talk to someone with 10 in foreign countries. Make sure that you are ready for it."

| "What would you do if you were the mayor (市长) of your city?" We asked some students from different cities in Anhui. Here"s what they said: Deng Chuan, 15, from Hefei With the development of modern industry, more and more waste water is being poured into the Fei River, It has caused serious pollution. The river is becoming so dirty that few living things can live in it. So, if I were the mayor, I would order all the factories that pour the waste water into the river to close down. As we all know, water is very important to our lives. So it is very important to protect water. Zhang Yan, 14, from Wuhu Our city is more and more beautiful. But sometimes it"s not convenient for the blind. There are not enough pavements (人行道) in our city. Some of the old ones are broken. They may not be safe to walk on! If I were the mayor of our city, I would build more pavements for the blind. Wang Lili, 16, from Chaohu There are more and more old people in our city. And there are not enough places for them to relax and enjoy themselves. So, if I were the mayor, I would build an activity center in each residential (住宅) area for the old. So old people can play cards or chess. This will make old people not feel lonely and spend remaining years comfortably. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can"t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road. How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn"t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人), it"s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It"s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down.
