When you see the girl for the first time, you may think she is a boy. She is very outgoing(外向). Who is she? Wang Meng, the Chinese top skater.

On the evening of February 26th, 2010, Wang Meng first got to the finishing line in 1 minute and 29.213 seconds in the women’s 1000 meters short track speed skating final (短道速滑决赛) at the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games (温哥华冬奥会). After she succeeded in the 500-meter and 3000-meter races, she won her third gold medal this time. With this one China won four gold medals in the women’s short track speed skating. That helped China first win the team gold medal in Winter Olympics history.

Just before the final race Wang Meng caught a bad cold and coughed terribly. With the words of “You can, you can do!” she won at last. She said, “I really feel these three gold medals belong to my team, to China. It was with the help of my team that I won the prize.”

Though Wang Meng is only twenty-four, she has been the most successful Chinese skater. Chinese are proud of her and her team. We hope she will be faster in Sochi Olympics in 2014.

One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.

However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming.
