Some Popular High Schools in Foshan
Home study has been going on for a while, but the pace of moving forwards to the high school entrance examination is not slowing down. Middle school students might have changed the “battlefield”, but they dare not relax. After all, the dream is waving to them at the same time saying hello.
Some students may find studying boring. So what is the point in studying hard? A Taiwanese author once wrote in his book, “You study hard not because you want to compare your grades with others, but because you want to have the right to choose in the future. Choose a job that is meaningful to you and gives you time, rather than being forced to make a living. When your job means something in your heart, you have a sense of accomplishment. When your job gives you time and you are not deprived of your life, you have dignity. A sense of accomplishment and dignity give you happiness.” In China, every student knows the importance of Gaokao (the college entrance exam). In order to get into a good university, they need to do well in the college entrance exam. So how should students prepare for the college entrance exam? The teachers, the high schools, and their school system seem to have a great influence on students’ study performance. Now, why don’t we take a look at some of the popular high schools in Foshan?
