In China, it is not easy for college graduates to find a satisfying job because there are too many graduates. As a result, many college students choose to continue postgraduate studies. Well, they have to pass the postgraduate exams before continuing ther postgraduate studies.

Every summer, those college students who plan to continue their postgraduate studies join the training organizations, hoping they can earn high scores in the exams.

Here in Jinan, a training organization opens the class in a stadium because they have too many students. Can you imagine how many students are in the stadium? About 3500. Every day, they consume about 100 buckets purified water. Durin the break, there will be a long queue in front of the toilets.

Wish them all good luck!

What are they learn from this training? I will be absent and distracted if I were there. Maybe I will be affected by heat outside either. Good luck Chinese students!

They learn how to solve the problems in the exams. To some extent, it helps them earn better scores.

Sometimes, the training teahers give you some questions and answers. They require you to remember the questions and answers because they think these questions might appear in your exams.

What do they learn from the training classes? Techniques to answer questions and the questions and answers might appear in their exams.

Too many exams in China. We believe in education provided by the college or university so for postgraduate study we don't have to sit for any exams anymore (except for English proficiency) but the students should have their CGPA not less than 3.5. For those doing their master, CGPA should not be less than 3.0 or they won't graduate.

Wan,

That's why many Chinese students can get high marks in the exams but they can not apply what they have learnt into practice. By the way, it has been proved many times that people who fail to earn high marks are more successful than those who do exams very well.

Those students have undergone their basic tertiary education, and yet for their would-be postgraduate study, still have the mentality of how to answer to what questions thus thronged the stadium for the tips from the organiser whom is profit oriented.

Wan,

Tertiary education can benefit those students but they have to live. A Chinese farmer regretted sending his son to study in college. His son earns less than him after graduation.

Some people go for education for better career and salary, while some view education as acquiring knowledge. Mr Lim Goh Tong, who was a school dropout from Anxi, Fujian created a name in Malaysia, who owned a Genting Highlands resort, once used to be the richest man in Malaysia but he never regretted sending his children to universities.

Wan, have you heard of "science and technology are a primary productive force"? This is what we have learnt from Politics books in middle school. Once you acquire knowledge, you'd better put them into practice.
