Today is my high school's 104th birthday. I didn't know actually(,) until I saw some posts from my school mates. "Happy Bday my mother school!" hahaha.
I don't know (whether) I love my high school or not...I would say it is very complicated. But there is no doubt that I like most of my teachers and friends,(it is) just not the same thing to(about) the school. (Because=delete because you are starting a new sentence. you could say: it is just not the same thing about the school because I had some extreme thoughts and experienced very high pressure when I was there) I had some extreme thoughts and experienced very big(high) pressure when I was at (the=delete) high school.I was(had) a bit (of a) bad temper and easy to lose (easily lost) control at that time. I cried because of my grades. I wasn't happy at all, comparing(compared) to now:) (think about all your sentences starting with I - try to turn around some of them, like "my grades made me unhappy. Compared to now, I was not happy back then, etc. etc.)
But that should not be the reason (why) I hate it. Because such a problem(the problem of) big(high) pressure to(on) students) doesn't exist only in my school but (is) very common in China. I would't be less stressed if I was in another school. Something needs to be changed. But I did learn something during the time in high school, mostly from my teacher (and) awesome friends but not from the text books, assignments and exams.
The whole environment of the society is to encourage competition. This should not be a long-term strategy for education. But my high school is too weak compare(d) to the power of (the=delete) society, it cannot just escape out of the environment and claim that "we think about students' life long development", even though this is truly the mission of the school. I know she is trying her best, but still a lot of things need to be fixed out of(about) school education in (the=delete) society. (the "she" and "her" is a bit weird here, but if you are referring back to your "mother school in the beginning, it makes sense in a way :-))
There are definitely some problems with a school system based on competition and high pressure, but like we talked about the other day it is hard to make it any different when there is still a lack of educated people to teach. How many students are there at your high school? I think it is impressive that it has existed for 104 years!!
ReplyDeleteA tip for you - if you are doubting which preposition or article to use, try to type the sentence in google and see which solution gets more hits. I just tried "big pressure on" vs. "high pressure on" to make sure I was right, and "high pressure on" got 17,400,000 vs. the 470,000 of the other one, so this gave me a hint ;-)
嘿嘿！ja google is our best friend telling everything!!:D 拜谢~！！！
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many students are there, but I guess at least 3500..
