阅读回答问题（2022·重庆·八中校考一模）
Did you have an experience of going from one after-school class to another on weekends?
Chinese students used to be busier on weekends than weekdays because they had to take so many
after-school classes. Many of them spent much time on these classes to learn exam skills.
But this year, Ma Xiaohua, a student from Grade 8 in Zhengzhou spent a winter holiday that
was quite different. “I felt more relaxed this holiday, because the homework is clearly much less
and more enjoyable,” said Ma. Things like doing some housework, making an English video to
introduce a Chinese custom, and reading aloud Home Letters by Fu Lei were part of her winter
holiday homework. Ma found herself doing more practice-based (基于实践的) learning instead of
always having her nose in workbooks. Another big difference for her was that she didn’t have
after-school classes anymore. “This gives me more time to play badminton and gradually get
healthier,” she said.
Like Ma, many junior high school students welcomed the changes, as they feel less stressed
than before. However, it doesn’t mean schoolwork isn’t important anymore. For some students,
they feel worried about the changes. “I used to take many after-school classes, but now I’ve lost
their instruction (指导) and need to depend on myself,” said ninth-grader Zhou Xiuwei from
Nanjing. “I felt more stressed this holiday.”
