As the saying goes, “Time is money.” So as far as I’m concerned, time is even more precious than money. Time flies like a arrow before we realize it and when it goes by, it will never return. However, many people still don’t make full use to their time.

A number of students spend a lot of time in sleeping, chatting, playing computer games and another meaningless matters. Though they are always complaining that they can’t do good in their study, but they don’t accept the truth that it is wasting time on those things that leads to their failures in study. As students, we must be engaging in our studies so as to serve the society and our national in the future.

Once Chinese students in American schools were largely limited to graduate students. Gradually that trend shifted, with more students coming from China to earn bachelor' s degrees at American institutions. Now, the population is widening once again, with many Chinese students studying in the U, S. from ever - younger ages.

Bill Zhou, a resident of California, though born in Shenzhen, and his wife are currently housing just such a student: Hsu, also from Shenzhen, who is living with Zhou (a paid arrangement) while he attends a private, religious institution. .

Although Zhou is caring, he knows there are many people taking advantage of the trend

who lack conscience. In a Lost Angeles Times article, Zhou described his reservations about the current system.”They don't know if the school is good. They don't know if the home stay is good. But everyone else is doing it, so they do it, too," Zhou said, addressing the parents of so - called parachute(降落伞) children, who earn the nickname by "parachuting" into the U.S. by themselves, unaccompanied by family.

Based on statistics, Zhou has reason to be concerned. A recent article in Sixth Tone', stated that the number of Chinese students enrolled at U. S. secondary schools increased from just 647 in 2006 to more than 46,000 in 2016. Those numbers are reflected in Chinese society and even popular culture, where a new television drama titled " A Love for Separation" was released several months ago.

"It is a common misunderstanding that studying in a private American high school is easier than in China, a mother told. " My son is under enormous pressure to compete with accomplished peers. He was very lonely during his first year of high school, and found it hard to assimilate into an unfamiliar environment. "

Chinese parents send their teenagers abroad for varieties of reasons. For some students, it is to escape the strict Chinese education system; for others, it is a second chance to recover from bad grades or a low score on China's college entrance exam. For still others, it is simply a lifelong dream.
