Part2:
I interested in the education system different from China to America. In China, schools have strong competition from elementary schools to high schools. After school, students cannot have too much break time to play games. Teachers always give students a lot of homework. From teachers’ perspectives, they ask students to do much homework is good for their studies. More and more exercises can get better grade. However, teachers do not care the grade of homework. They only focus on the grade of tests and quizzes. So it has a problem： if someone fails one important test, it means that he fails the whole things. It is unfair for everyone. In America, teachers help students to develop their independent and creation during elementary schools. Students have a lot of time to do whatever they want
