The weekend is usually a period(一段) of time for resting. But today’s Chinese students can hardly rest during the weekend.

According to(根据) a survey, 25% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend.

After that, she is free to go shopping or watch TV. Zhang Qian said her mother once wanted her to try extra classes. “But my teacher said it was unnecessary. I didn’t need to push myself too much.
