Describe your day in the school. What do you find distinctly different about the classes you attended compared to your classes in Singapore?
The duration of each period and how much more important they view exercise and culture, like Taiji, swordsmanship and etc. Much longer time spent in school though each lesson only lasts a period.
What did you learn today? Write down something you find most interesting and want to share with your friends when you get back.
The buddy of Wei Zhen is first in standard, of his whole school, which is the best school in this area of Beijing. But he is very honest in his secret of success: Hardwork. I competed against Wei Zhen and my buddy to see who could complete questions by Wei Zhen’s buddy and WOW! The china guy and Wei Zhen were fast! Wei Zhen depended more on his incredible writing speed, Me, technique, my buddy on both technique and writing speed. Probably the training from all those lessons till 4 pm, everyday, from 7. I can only say that these people are very smart people. Just feel quite guilty not working as hard as these people.
