An eight-hour video, posted in March, shows the self-study rooms of many top Chinese universities. These rooms have become a warm place for people who enjoy a good learning atmosphere.
“At first, I was just looking for a partner to prepare for the IELTS exam together. I never expected it to be so popular,” said Yue Yetu, who started an online steam. “It amazed me that over 150 people were online at the same time. The participants included teenagers and adults, most of whom were preparing for their examinations. Greatly motivated, Yue has passed her exam but she still keeps the virtual self-study room running.
“They don’t have to turn on the cameras in the room. However, many of them would prefer to fire up the webcam because it reminds them not to be distracted.” Yue said.
Yue also set up a chat group, where dozens of members shared their learning process and ups and downs in life. “I received a lot of support from it, and I was deeply moved,” said Chen Yihan, a participant. To Yue, her virtual self-study room has far-reaching meaning. On a winter day, a pair of siblings (姐妹) showed up in her room, wearing fingerless gloves and reading in the low light.

【推荐2】How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work together with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?
The program for International Student Assessment, PISA, made a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests are usually better at working with other people.
This finding was true for many countries, students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems.
But this was not the same for every country. Chinese students, who have high scores just had average cooperative skills (合作技巧).
“One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus (关注) too much on grades,” said a professor. “Students have a lot of exam stress and they regarded school as a place for competition.” “However, cooperative skills are very important for students in today’s society,” he added.
Another interesting finding was that girls are better than boys at working together, they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions. PISA also found that the classroom environment influence students’ cooperate. In class, a lot of activities need communication, such as class discussion, students have better cooperative skills.
