They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a 1________ instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the 2____________ an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.

I also notice that many high school students in China are considering studying at universities abroad. Unfortunately, from what I’ve seen, the information provided by some websites and newspapers about studying abroad is very limited and sometimes even misleading.There was once a Chinese girl who hoped that she could go to Columbia University in the US because she wanted to major in journalism. Columbia University has a very famous graduate program in journalism. However, it has no journalism program at the undergraduate level! What’s more, in both Canada and the US, students are not expected to go into journalism right after high school. Schools say that students should take in more knowledge about the world and writing before entering that field.The University of Waterloo, a Canadian university famous for its engineering program, is another example.You can’t imagine how important the engineering in this university is. According to our teachers, this university spent millions of dollars building a library just forengineering students. The university’s computer science, mathematics and accounting are also great programs for students.But, to be honest, according to my friends who have visited this university, the campus and the food are not very nice. Maybe this is because the university pays much more attention to its academic strengths, then it pays little attention to personal comfort.Now you see, choosing a university is really not that easy. We need to do good research and consult as many people as possible before making a decision.NOTES:apply to 申请journalism 新闻学undergraduate 研究生academic 学术的consult 咨询1.
