In the future, we won’t use paper books. Sometimes, we can watch educational programs(教育节目) on TV or the internet. Children don’t have to go to school on days when there is bad weather. They can stay in bed or eat snacks while listening to their teachers.

【推荐3】Usually, most junior 3 students would be running, doing sit-ups or push-ups on the playground at the end of April. They would be preparing for their upcoming physical education(PE)test. The test is important because it's worth 30 to 40 points on the senior high school entrance exam(中考).
But due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, many places like Shanghai, Shandong and Zhejiang have canceled the test this year. Many students and parents have been discussing this change.
"I feel so relieved that I don't need to run an 800-meter race or skip rope in hot weather," said Zhao Jiawen, 15, a student from Shanghai. Since she has been stuck at home, Zhao's mom has been making delicious snacks. And she's always sitting in front of the computer taking her online classes and watching TV on the sofa. "Honestly, I haven't run even once and have gained(增加)some weight. It would drive me crazy to review my lessons and spend time exercising at the same time," Zhao added.
But for Deng Zirui, a student from Qingdao, Shandong, his efforts might be wasted. He has been running in the morning and doing 50 push-ups at his home every day. He has also been climbing stairs to build his leg strength. "It's not fair for students who have prepared carefully for the PE test when it's canceled. My son really worked hard and wanted to gain some advantages in the coming test," Deng's father said.
Many students are still waiting for the Ministy of Education's specific(具体的)instructions regarding the PE test. "This year, we can make some changes to meet different needs, such as canceling long-distance running to keep students safe," said Wang Zhihe, a professor at the Zhejiang University of Science and Technology." But for Chinese teenagers, the test is a really good way to boost(增强)their immunity(免疫力), build their confidence and keep healthy habits."
