A
If you could add one compulsory(必修的) subject at school, what would it be? Why?
I would suggest adding sign language(手语). Not many people know how to
communicate with those who have hearing problems. It would be very helpful if we
Justin
could have a chance to learn sign language. This would teach us to treat those who
are less lucky with respect and stand in their shoes to understand them well.
A subject that gives students a better understanding of themselves. According
to some surveys, many middle school students don't have a dream. A person without
Willia a dream is like a ship sailing without a compass(指南针)．
m
Teaching students to understand themselves better can help them discover their
advantages and weaknesses.
It would be a timemanagement class. Nowadays, many students are crazy
Lucy
about their smartphones. For example, they sleep late because they can't balancetheir studies and games. It was so worrying.
A timemanagement class will help students learn that “First things come first.”
This will help them lead a healthy life.

Zhang Guimei, who founded a high school for girls to study for free in Lijiang, Yunnan province in 2008, has
helped about 1,200 girls go to college in the past 13 years.
She came up with the idea of setting up a high school especially for girls after she visited the homes of the
girls who gave up studying. She learned that most of the dropouts (辍学生) would get married. Poor families
couldn’t pay the tuition fees (学费). Some girls had to do chores at home.
Between 2003 and 2007, Zhang spent her vacations on the streets, asking people to give away money for hergirls’ school. Many people thought she might lie and cheat money from them. So she only raised about 10,000
yuan.
In 2007, after her dream was reported, the Yunnan government invested 60 million yuan in the project. The
Huaping High School for Girls was completed (完成) in 2008 with only one teaching building. In 2009, after
seeing no hope, nine teachers resigned, leaving just eight to teach there. In 2011, the first intake of students
graduated and all went to universities or vocational colleges. By 2015, construction (建设) of all the school’s
facilities (学校设备) was completed.
In 2019, she was diagnosed with many illnesses. But she is still fighting on. She hopes that girls can change
their fates (命运) by receiving education and influence their future children in a positive way.

CPoverty (贫困) is a big problem around the world. But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has

give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Ordinary people play a big role in the fight. Here are
two of them.
Zhang Guimei has been helping girls pursue (追求) education since she
traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17. As a teacher, Zhang was heartbroken when she
saw her students quit school after finishing senior high school. They couldn’t go
to college because their families couldn’t afford it. So in 2008, Zhang started a free
school for poor girls. Since then, Zhang has been busy asking for donations to provide money for the school. She
has convinced(说服) parents to send their daughters back to school.The school has sent more than 1,800 students to
universities and colleges.

was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online. By the end of 2019, 269
villagers had been lifted out of poverty. The per capita income (人均收入) reached 12,670 yuan, 40 times more
than in the 1990s.
Over the last eight years, 98.99 million rural people have been lifted out of poverty. The 832 counties (县) and
