As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months．The parents are 1 in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5．In exchange for room and board, I teach their son 2 ．
Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child．And though he has 3 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know 4 he has the time to play．When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes．On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes．He has one day off－Sunday．
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was 5 a waste of time．I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons．I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age．But he and lots of other children are learning English．Both his parents dream that he will have 6 jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses．
The boy seems to take no interest 7 learning English．He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate．He is, 8 , only 5．When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as 9 as he is．
In the evening, when his parents 10 him to speak with me in English, he gets 11 ．He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture．When he finally stops 12 , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese, 13 ．He speaks in his own language．
He 14 not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher．I just want to be his big brother 15 can speak in gibberish(胡言乱语)with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders．

Everybody wants a new start for a new school year．So, students often go back-to-school shopping．They buy school things and shoes．But, the story is not so easy．
"Mum, I want this pair of shoes!"
"Dear! Those are 900 yuan! That is too 1 !"
"But all the boys in my class wear this brand(牌子)!"
So the real story is：Kids 2 to catch up with school fashion．
Chinese students 3 uniforms at school．Parents think all the kids look the same, but kids know the differences．The "rich" kids wear amazing watches, ride good 4 and use cool pencil cases．They show off their expensive things to 5 kids．Then everyone else wants them too．For example, some "rich" kids use a pencil box that 6 1,000 yuan! It not only holds pencils, but also has a thermometer(温度计), a compass(指南针), a music box and even games in it! But think about it．Do you really need 7 a special pencil box? What can you do with a compass or a thermometer in class? They only distract(分散注意)you．
As for these "rich" kids, they are not rich at all． 8 parents buy them all their school things．They may have an advantage now, but it won't last forever．If you want to show off 9 money you have, you have to make it yourself first．So, study hard．You will get a great job in the future．
