Chinese education have been criticized all the time. During the last decades, more and more families chose to send their children to study abroad if they have enough money. There is no doubt that foreign education have many advantages, while the good sides of our education are always ignored.

中国教育一直饱受批评。在过去的几十年里，越来越多的家庭如果有足够的钱都会选择送他们的孩子出国留学。当然，外国教育有许多优点，但是我们国家教育好的方面却总是被忽略了。

Recently, I read an article about a girl who studied abroad during high school period. She made this choice because she believed that foreign education must be easy. When she got there, she found it was so hard to get used to the teaching method. Her math was her advantage subject, while the humanities frustrated her. The girl’s father mentored her to read all kinds of historical materials and she spent a lot of time to study. Finally, every teacher spoke highly of this girl.

最近，我读了一篇文章，关于一个女孩在国外读高中的故事。她做这个选择，是因为她认为外国教育会让她很轻松。当她到达那里时，她发现很难适应教学方法。数学是她的优势而人文学科则让她沮丧。女孩的父亲指导她去阅读各种史料。她花了很多时间去学习。最后，这个女孩的每一个老师都给予了她高度评价。

Many readers perceive the advantages of western education from this story, but the fact is that Chinese education lays the foundation of her foreign education. Her ability to write and her wisdom in math owing to home study. So both home study and foreign education have good sides.

许多读者从这个故事中察觉到西方教育的优点，但事实是，中国的教育给她在国外的教育奠定了基础。她的写作能力和在数学方面的聪慧得益于国内的学习。所以国内学习和国外教育都有其优势。
