Recently five Chinese teachers were invited to teach a group of British teenagers, using Chinese teaching methods. It has caused a great discussion in China and in many countries of the West. What can educators learn from each other? Forum（论坛）readers share their opinions.
Ted M（UK）
Students in China are raised to study for long hours, with great expectations（期望）and demands. Yet they have little social life and there is no encouragement for joy of lifelong learning. In the West, students are taught to enjoy learning, questioning, active learning and problem solving. They have a broad and balanced education, including social learning.
Leonard Wong（Singapore）
The Chinese language requires rote（死记硬背）learning. It seems boring, but it trains the mind to focus（关注）on what is important and good study habits. These habits offer them a lot even at a later age. More could be done to encourage children to express their opinions about the things they meet.
Michael M（US）
My personal belief is that the biggest advantages of Chinese secondary education are:
1. Longer hours at school.
2. Full of challenges.
3. Students are expected higher.
4. More lecture-based lessons. This is great preparation for college.
TAL123（China）
If I had a child, I think I’d consider Chinese education for part of their learning. I think the middle school years are a good time for them to develop strong basic skills in math, reading and memory, etc, that the Chinese system teaches well. But children need the freedom to explore, express, inquire and understand. In my view, the chief weakness in China’s system is that students usually can’t do things by themselves. Students do not become good learners, they only become good test takers.
Different people have different opinions on what is right and wrong with teaching and learning. Each country has its own unique（独特的）educational culture that is a product of years, centuries of experiment and practice, and which reflects（反映）the traditional values of its society.

In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.
Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu（菜单）on the counter（柜台）. and say what you'd like to eat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip （小费）.
In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier （收银员）as you leave.
In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her your name. If you can't finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add fifteen per cent to the bill （账单）as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty per cent to it as a tip for the waiter.

Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but they aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.
Think more before you decide The decisions you make may go a long way towards stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian (素食的) diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies that have illegal (违法的) practices.
Help speak the word out Speaking the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important problems of animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice that you give to your friend.
Write a letter We’ve all heard of the saying, “The pen is more powerful than the sword.” Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company is harmful to animals, write a letter to the company to let them know you are angry with them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to local legislators (立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support the legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their action will have a great effect on your vote.
Be more loving If you’re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who look after poor animals.
Let your action set an example It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your action speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living animals with kindness. Care about your pets and look after them well. If they use animals to perform, don’t go to the theatres. Support laws that protect animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

Travelling on your own can be more interesting than travelling with someone else. It helps you learn more about yourself and it costs less. If you aren’t sure what places to go, read my list of best 4 places for solo(单独的)travel.
A big part Australian culture is solo travel. You can easily get around this country. The Australian cities are quite safe and there are many things to do, especially in Sydney. You can visit the opera house, take a boat across the harbor, climb the bridge or just relax on the beach.
Iceland has a great culture and beautiful landscapes. It's a perfect place for a single traveler. Try to plan your visit to see the northern lights for a really special experience and try out the geothermal(地热的) bath with natural hot water in the center of snow.
Costa Rica is one of the best places for the brave single travelers. There are rain forests for exploring, volcanoes(火山) to climb, and a few most wonderful beaches on Earth. You can also take a ride through the jungle(丛林), try out kayaking(划独木舟) on the wild rivers.
Amsterdam is a very walkable city and there is a fantastic biking culture. Tour the city’s wonderful canals (运河)and historic canal houses, and make sure to visit the Rijksmuseum. There are many more interesting places like the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum. The best time to go to Amsterdam is on Queen's Day, when the city becomes a big party.

Setting goals (设立目标)can help you do your best in life easily. The following can help you:
*Small goals work well. Remember a small goal is easier to reach than a bigger one. So you’d better make a small goal each time. That's helpful to you.
*Good habits help you much. It usually takes time for you to develop a habit—maybe a few months, for example, getting up half an hour earlier to exercise. Why? That’s because your brain needs enough time to get used to the habit.
*Repeat your goals. Say your goals out before a mirror loudly in the morning every day. In this way, you can remember what you want and what you are working for. Also, writing your goals down also works. It will train your brain to accept your goals.
*Make changes only for yourself. You have to reach a goal just because you want it, not because any others, like a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent or someone else, want you to do. It will be more difficult to keep active in reaching a goal for any others.
*Being always lazy will make you fail. It may take a few tries before you reach a goal. But that's OK—it's normal to give up a few times when trying to reach a goal. But you will fail if you are always lazy. Don't give up or you will lose a chance to change yourself in your life. And maybe it will be a great pity for you in your own life.
