Dear editor,

Under China’s current (现在的) educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.

But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奋的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically.

Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.

When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.

“ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”

The moral (教训) of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (学术) grades.

Yours,

Zhang Zishu
