This exigence interests me because from young, I’ve always had to study and prepare for standardized tests. In China, tests represent whether we get into a good middle school, a good high school, and a good college. We can be the best in our class, but without scoring high on the placement tests, we’ll never get into a good school. The same was here, in high school, junior year was all about testing and studying for the ACTs or the SATs. There was too much pressure placed on just the standardized tests.…
The education in China and Australia has different kinds of system. They share many similarities in students studying, such as the system structure, the study atmosphere, and the educational policy. However, there are also a few differences between these two countries.…
Waist cinchers can be worn by men or women, although they are most often seen in women lingerie selections, often as part of a bra and panty ensemble. Some have suspenders, and they can close a number of ways, hook-and-eye closures to lace up closure in the back and zipper in the front. They are intended to provide a trim, sexy look to the silhouette. In women, this type of shapewear is designed to sculpt an hourglass shape, while in men, they are designed to minimize or erase the appearance of love handles and belly fat. Beyond looks, waist cinchers can be used to support the lower back and abdominal muscles. Choosing the right size has a lot to do with measuring your waist, regardless of gender.…
In Maotanchang, China, students call their standardized test, the Gaokao. An article, “Inside a Chinese Test-Prep Factory” by Brook Larmer, takes a closer look on a student's experience with the Gaokao. It explains Yang Wei's struggles and the consequences of the Gaokao in order to get into a good college. Although there are some similarities between Chinese students' experience with the Gaokao and American students' with the SAT, the two are very different. The Gaokao and the SAT both have one goal, to succeed.…

“First class honors” and “second class honors, upper division” students have chances to continue studying to get master degrees. In China some universities will use a final examination to assess students have the ability to get a degree or not. But sometimes even if these students pass the examination, they still can not continue studying, because the quota is full.…
What did young boys have to learn to take the exam? What effects did the exam have on the goals and values of the young people in China?…
The reason I decided to go to a university in American instead of my own country is because I don’t like the idea of education in China. I went to one of the best high schools in Beijing, which is famous for its extraordinarily high college enrollment rate. As a student who had studied in there for three years, what I saw in my high school is that students and teachers paid more attention on how to get a good grade, instead of genuine learning and teaching. Personally, I have never learned how to answer short essay questions about subjects such as history and politics. The one subject I have never understood is the philosophy of Marxism, which is a required course of every Chinese student. When an exam question said, ”explain dualism”, there ought to be more than one right answer, but we were told that we can only write down what Marx has to say about that matter, and other philosophers were all wrong. I cannot deny the importance of grades and high scores, since students depend on the college entrance examination to get admissions of their dream schools. And eventually I learned how to reply questions as teachers expected us to, even though I didn’t agree with some of the so-called right answer. However, grades should not be the only thing that matters - high schools suppose to provide students a simple academic environment, which enable students to broaden their horizon, instead of controlling students to study the same range of knowledge over and over again.…
Chinese education is focused on students academic performance, while Canadian education is pay more attention on students’ daily performance and group works. In China, high school students are constantly learning knowledge and doing homework, all of these hard work just for get good mark into the university. The college entrance examination is one of important in Chinese people’s life, This is an examination that can change the fate of students. Parents in China think if their children can not get in a good university, then the child's life is basically abandoned. But in Canada is different, Canadian high school is more focused on cultivating students' interests, so as to select the most suitable for their professional. And they are in accordance with the students' daily performance and homework to give students the final assessment, rather than China only look at the final results. China has implemented that kind of education model, but also because the population in China is too much, too competitive, they can not take care of each student at the same time. China and Canada should learn from each other, China should that students have more time to do group works, and Canada should that students pay more attention in academic…

For this assignment I choose to compare Chinese and Cubans educational views. In China education is very important. In fact they examinations are part of their selection process for officials. Building on that in the article by Chuansheng Chen he says, “Examinations remain the primary path of upward mobility in contemporary China. Because of the huge urban-rural economic differences and the strict control of migration, the only way the younger generation of farmers can move to the cities or towns is to pass the annual National College Entrance Examination.” Because competition for education is so competitive between students it serves as major motivation for Chinese students. In Chinese culture they are taught to better there self before worrying…
Great education leads to great lives; education is the extremely important reason to develop the countries. Improving the education system in countries is not easy and challenge. Therefore, some countries adopt a standardized test to evaluate education achievement. It is also applied to value what is taught in the national standard in order to measure goals and how students and schools are reaching educational country system. This test can be several forms of evaluation such as multiple choice, true or false, or open-end questions. If students pass the test they will receive their degree. Although some people argue that standardized test improves the education, standardized test is unreliable tests to measure student's and school's performance…
We all stress ourselves out over this test. Today in the world, this one test has caused rises in mental illness like stress, depression, also anxiety. They are teaching kids how to pass the test but they did not genuinely learn anything. Students do not learn critical along with creative thinking skills. Also, people are starting to feel the need to fit a standard, when surely each person is unique in their own way.…
Most teachers now teach to the test in an effort to receive merit pay, based on whether or not students have high test scores. Students esteems are affected in a negative way. The Obama Administration used the term "Nation at Risk" rather than stating the fact that more testing does not produce higher test scores. Yong Zhao’s Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon? Why China Has the Best (and Worst) Education System in the World, Zhoa tells us that "China has the best education system because it can produce the highest test scores. But, he says, it has the worst education system in the world because those test scores are purchased by sacrificing creativity, divergent thinking, originality, and individualism." Students deserve to be independent, critical thinkers and not merely robots that can pick the correct answers on a…
Every student, who will take this special test, is more or less feeling nervous. After all, after many years hard work, this test will decide your future. You should not have a little lapse. Only one point may lead you can not go to your idea university. The competition is so intense. One Chinese saying compares the exam to a stampede of “a thousand soldiers and ten horses across a single log bridge.” Actually, I do not think Gao Kao is reasonable, and that is so cruel to us. If you failed this year, you need to wait one year to take the test again. In addition, there are no enough good universities for such amount students.…
