Answer 1

In June, 2009, the Education Department of Hubei Province made a decision that giving lessons during the summer vacation and weekends should be banned.

I think it quite correct. This is an important measure for the quality-oriented education. As is well known to all, in order to raise the number of students to meet the required score in gaokao, almost all high schools gave lessons during the holidays. We students suffered a lot both physically and mentally.

However, my parents felt worried, and they complained, “Now that the present system of the college entrance exam hasn’t changed, can you cope with the fierce competition without extra lessons and enough exercise?”

Believe it or not, no summer vacation has been so meaningful to me as that of this year. Every day, I spent several hours going over my lessons. I also had time to relax and enjoy my hobbies. I went swimming, watched interesting programs on TV, did some reading and met my friends. In addition, I participated in community work and this has raised my awareness of public service. I really enjoyed my vacation.
