Topic1 "Optional Class System" in High School, is it necessary or not?
The
Ministry1 of Education said it would introduce a new student
assessment2 system to supplement the national college entrance exam, as a way to reform the country's test-centric approach to education. Education experts indicate that high schools in China may adopt a "Class-selection-system" to
coordinate3 with the reform.
Do we need such a system in high school?
Topic2 An open letter from a teacher at Sichuan UniversityOn Dec 23, an open letter from Zhou Ding, a history teacher at Sichuan University, aroused heated discussion on the Internet, which makes him controversial online. In the letter, Zhou criticized the current higher education system in China and
pointed4 out the problems Chinese universities are facing.
Did the complaint in the open letter make sense?
Topic3
Weird5 TranslationsMany public
venues6 in China put up signs in both Chinese and English, with the
influx7 of millions of overseas tourists and an increasing number of expats living in China.
But some of these venues should have been more thoughtful and
dedicated8 in providing the information in English.
The latest translation
mishap9 was
spotted10 in Xi'an North Railway Station (wait, according to regulations it should be translated as Xi'an Bei Station), in which the sign "Please wait behind the yellow line" becomes "Please wait outside a noodle". The actual Chinese is "请在一米线外等候".
Is there a serious problem of bad English translations in China?
Topic4 Gome Cancels Orders for Cars with Wrong PricingA well-known e-commerce website in China has unilaterally canceled orders for cars sold on its websites after it found a mistake on the price tag.
Hong Kong-listed home appliance
retailer11' Gome mistakenly set the prices for a BMW car worth at 1.7 million yuan, at 170,000 yuan on its e-commerce unit.
The pricing mistake was taken as a special deal by customers who placed a dozen or so orders within just several hours of the trading.
What went wrong? Who has more reason?
Topic5 A High School in Xi'an Banns X'mas in CampusA high school in Xi'an issued a Christmas ban to its students on Dec. 24, prohibiting them from celebrating Christmas Eve but requiring them to watch a video about Confucius instead. The management said that it was a measure to ask the students to value traditional Chinese culture. Does it make sense?
