17.The other day,BBC broadcast its documentary(紀(jì)錄片)"Are Our Kids Tough Enough?-Chinese School",in which the British and Chinese teaching styles competed against each other,with both sides tested after four weeks to see who comes out on top.
In this unique experiment,five Chinese teachers took over a British classroom with 50teenagers aged 13and 14in a British school for one month and taught them in a typical Chinese way:no talking,no questions and experiencing the severe classroom discipline within an extended school-hour from 7a.m.to 7p.m.In the meantime,another group of students were guided in the British teaching style:free talking,free questioning,thinking for themselves and relaxing learning atmosphere.
At the end of the documentary,all the pupils took part in the same exams in a few subjects.Next is the result.
| Mathematics | Chinese | Science |
Chinese style | 67.74 | 46.88 | 58.33 |
British style | 54.84 | 36.46 | 50 |
Faced with the result,many netizens in Britain made a strong suggestion to their Education Minister that Britain should learn from China and adopt China's educational style.

Dear Minister,
I hear that many people in your country are suggesting Britain's education system should follow China's after a BBC documentary,which reported a 4-week experiment ending up with Chinese teaching methods defeating British ones..It is said you are collecting opinions from Chinese students.The following is my view.
Personally,I strongly advise you forget Chinese style of education.On one hand,Chinese students wining in test scores is in fact at the cost of their creative abilities and autonomy in learning.As a matter of fact,many of my classmates could do nothing without teachers'and parents'help,let alone make great innovations in their later life.On the other hand,Chinese students are suffering from a severe lack of sleep and good health,all due to the pursuit of a high score in numerous tests.Without a healthy body,nothing is meaningful.Do you really want young Britons to spend 15 to 16 hours a day on study?
Therefore,dear Minister,you should think twice if you decide to follow that suggestion.
Your sincerely,
A Chinese senior student.
