Due to the pandemic, online classes have become the first choice for most students, either from primary school     1    colleges, to continue with their studies.

Same goes for learners at the guzheng class     2     (open) by the China Cultural Center in Wellington. Ling Jia, teacher of the class, said there are over a dozen students who took part. Learners aged 4 to 60. Kept     3     (practice) guzheng and stayed     4     contact with her via the internet during the three-month lockdown in Wellington. The classes     5     (great) helped students to face the pandemic when they had to stay at home.

A local learner, Anan said she felt lucky to learn guzheng,     6     encouraged her to keep positive. At first, she only intended    7    (she) daughter to learn. However, as she often accompanied her daughter during the study, she     8     (fall) in love with the instrument. The mother and daughter even performed together many times.

Guo Zongguang. director of the center, said the pandemic let the center find a new way to help local people learn Chinese culture. Although online teaching    9    (take) as a temporary method, feedback(反馈)from    10    (learner) was beyond their expectations.

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will     1     (probable) say that they go to learn languages, history, science and some other knowledge. That’s quite true, but do you know why they learn these     2     (thing)?

We send our children to school to prepare them    3     the future when they grow up and have to work for     4     (they). Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that     5     only reason why they go to school?

Actually, there is more in education than just    6     (learn) facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn, so that when we graduate we can continue to learn.     7     a man really knows how to learn, he will be     8     (success). Because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able     9     (do) it well himself, but he will also be able to teach others how to do it in the     10     (good) way. So the purpose of schools is not to teach languages, history, science, etc., but to teach students the way to learn.
