  Hip hop or rap (说唱 ) music as it is also called,started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s.But today many countries have their own kind of hip hop music.This kind of music comes from reggae, disco and funk music.Rapping means speaking to the rhythm of the music, and it is an important part of the music.People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.

  Rapping in class.

  Would you like to rap in class ? Well actually,hip pop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA.Why ? There is a new school program called “ Flocabulary ”in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects.The words of the songs are just what students are studying.This makes learning easy and fun.Students and teachers are excited about the positive results it has had on exam marks.One teacher said, “ I've used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history ! You can't imagine how well they imagine how well they remember what I teach ! We even try to write our own songs.”

  Whose idea was Flocabulary?

  Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary.The word “ Flocabulary ” comes from the word “ flow ” and “ vocabulary ”.“ Flow ” is a rap word for “ style ”,or the way a rapper says the words of a song.“ Vocabulary ” means the words you have to learn in a language.How did he get the idea ? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily.So,why not make lessons into songs ? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for maths, science and literature (文学 ).They are now used in schools with great success.

  Last month when I was taking part in a US college interview, I was asked, “ what makes you special ? ” In fact I had answered questions likes this many times since I decided to go to college in the US.college paid special attention to different achievement.For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player.

  This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me.To be honest, it was not easy.However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself.If I took the College Entrance Examination,as we call it gaokao in China, it could never possibly do.

  When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons.However,as I grew older, I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons, but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life, like guitar―playing.Although I had no time for it, I will still get to it in the future.

  No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies.But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “ talent ” really is today.This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( 品质 )are needed for success, not just the high grade.

  Ken Robinson once said, “ the society depends on different kinds of talents.” However, gaokao pays too attention to a person's grades but little to his other qualities.And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun.

  As high school students, we can not change the present situation of eduction, but we are always free to think outside of the box.Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people.
