Mister Panda(France)
I come from France where swimming lessons in school are compulsory(dating back to Charlemagne).I even got my life-saving certificate in school.
Boilermaker(Expert in China)
There are swimming lessons in my city,but I was very disappointed in how they were taught.The kids spent 45 minutes of the one-hour lesson practicing strokes on dryland.They only spent 15 minutes in the water.All of the children panicked and sank immediately to the bottom.Then all of the parents scolded the children,telling them they weren’t paying attention to the teacher and that they were failures.
Yunzhang(China)
It is a pity that many Chinese athletes have won world championships in swimming while most schools don’t have the swimming facilities.Swimming is an essential life-saving skill that everyone should have access to.The earlier,the better.The government needs to put money into the popularity of the sport.

8 . Childhood memories of climbing trees or making daisy chains (雏菊花环) are becoming increasingly rare, according to a new survey, as the younger generation are robbed of outdoor experiences.
The survey of 1,000 people found that the current generation of 15 to 34-year-olds have fewer memories of 12 key countryside activities, such as swimming in rivers or digging holes at the beach.
The research found that three quarters of the older generation remember playing games or climbing trees, compared to two thirds of younger adults. The 55-plus generation also have more memories of collecting fossils (化石), visiting farms, or pond dipping. Altogether, two thirds of older people have memories of playing outdoors, compared to just over half of the younger generation.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing concern that children are not getting outdoors enough. The study found that 82% of people think that schools should provide more outdoor education, and most believe nature is still important to children today.
Dr. Mike Clarke, Chief Executive of the RSPB, says children who are kept indoors suffer from “nature deficit disorder (自然缺失症)”. He says public funding (资金) should be used by the government to take children on day trips to nature reserves.
“To many people, it seems obvious that an important part of childhood is exploring the world. Unfortunately, this is far from the case, and the amount of time and contact children are having with nature is on the decrease,” he says. “The RSPB has more than 40 years of history in getting children outdoors, and is committed to continuing to play its part. We now need the government and schools to recognize the important role the public believes they should play, in enabling all children to experience, enjoy and benefit from contact with the natural environment.”
