The 13-year-old girl saw that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make six bigger desks.The change of the desks was part of a reform(改革) at Fan’s school. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitti ng in groups.“This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study a nd more chances for discussion,” said Liu Xu, a school head teacher. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities for self-study as well as teamwork.”The new ar rangement took some time for students to get used to. “I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days,” said Fan. But soon she and her classmates got used to it. “Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),” said Fan. “What’s more, we can speak out our own ideas and learn others’ through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”Many students liked the change. They said, “Group members first discuss, and then explain the ways or answers to difficult questi ons in front of the whole class.”The reform has asked for more from teachers. They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class. “In the past, a lesson can be taught in 45 minutes. But now we need to teach the lessons in a short time ,” English teacher Wang Jing said. “We have to improve methods to teach better. We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them.” “The reform hasa long way to go, but I believe it will succeed(成功),” Wang added.66.

Everything is so vivid (生动的), including the grass, sand and sea.This is not a scene from a movie, but it’s Wang Yaoli’s Gundam model (高达模型) work called Island Raid (《荒岛奇袭》). She is a 14-year-old girl from Chongqing Furen High School. This model work won her the Gunpla Builders World Cup 2014 (China Division), a top Gundam model competition. This year, her model work, called Hug (《拥抱》), won third place at the competition.She is a super Gundam models and cartoon fan. In elementary school(小学), a Gundam model gift from her painting teacher made her fall in love with the models. “It was so cool. I couldn’t help but try it for myself,” she said. Now, her room is full of cartoon books and models.In her eyes, a model is a kind of art rather than just a toy. “It ta kes patience (耐心), skills and creative ideas,” she said. “It is not simply putting the parts of robots together. You can add elements (部件) to show your own creativity.” In her work Hug, she added an antenna (天线) onto the backpack of the robot.But she makes models only during summer vacation. “It’s a big project. There are many things to do like assembling (组装) and painting. It takes me one month to make one robot.
