With more and more farmers coming to the work in cities, their children follow them. However, problems appear, one of these problems is that it is difficult for these children to get education in cities.
Luckily, there are some free schools for them, but they are not enough. Ten-year-old Li Xin is one of the lucky girls who get a chance to study in one of these schools. Although she has to spend about two hours and change buses twice, she is very happy. As a child from a migrant worker’s (外来务工人员) family in the city, finally she has been given the chance to study. 1_________, these free schools are their best choice, because they can have free classes, textbooks, uniforms and meals in the school for two years,
But there is a long way to go, 2__________, because running a school is not easy and needs a lot of money. A school officer said that they needed at least one million yuan to run the school. “Luckily, some people and companies donate money, used books and a lot more other things to help us. Also some people work as teachers for free..” he added.
In a word, both the government and the people keep improving the whole country’s education either in countries or in cities. Don’t you think the children nowadays are luckier than their parents were? Anyhow, we must try to give them a equal chance to get better education so that we can make our society a harmonious (和谐) one.

A survey was made about teenagers’ studying abroad. Some think it has advantages, while others don’t think so. Usually, studying abroad may provide students with more choices on subjects. It’s really helpful for teenagers to improve their English. They will meet students from different parts of the world and learn more about foreign cultures though it may cost too much.
It’s usually difficult for teenagers to live alone in a quite different country. They don’t have enough money to live a better life and they have trouble understanding the teachers in class. In my opinion, teenagers should study at home because they are too young to take good care of themselves abroad.
