3. How could suitable people be attracted to the teaching professions?
Well, I think that people who want to become teachers feel like helping young people. They
believe they can make a difference in their students' lives. In addition, they know they will be
listened to and respected if they do a good job. It is a tough profession though; this is why teachers
should get a decent salary, as well as some holidays, in order to recharge their batteries.
4. What are the aims of education in your country?
Well, the Chinese educational system is definitely test-oriented. So the aims are quite simple. First
of all, teachers should make sure that every student acquires (= gain) some general knowledge.
Students should become smarter. As a result, students should successfully pass the tests in order to
get into university, and later on get a good job. On top of this, I think that teachers aim to make
good citizens of their students. They must teach them how to behave. Students should learn what
is acceptable from what's reprehensible (= wrong and punished) in society. I think that the Chinese
educational system is very special, and different from many foreign countries. I know that in the
U.S., teachers really focus on building up the child's individuality. They want students to be able
to think independently. In China, teachers usually put more emphasis on knowledge from the
books.
