s 都不喜歡長假--原因：買粉絲st taxpayers more 老師+學校---反對者的想法---疑問句結尾
1）youngsters (替代young people)--- grown-ups (替代alt), hate the idea of A= object to A (可以替代don't like / dislike, pay for =spend a fortune on, poor children ---rich ones
2) 曾經看韓國教育的紀錄片，了解到韓國的學生學習超級刻苦，每天學習到下午放學后，又繼續到培訓學校學習，直到晚上11點鐘左右后才回家，在韓國大大小小的街上路人經常會在半夜看到許許多多學生很晚回家，而他們奮斗的目標則是進入one of top universities，如果他們沒有進入頂尖大學則對他們以后找工作不利，因為以后企業公司直接在得到簡歷時，會把來自頂尖大學學生的簡歷放在一邊，而另一些來自非頂尖大學的學生簡歷則被扔進垃圾桶里。所以下面這句話寫的真妙：although those barely rested South Korean pupils do superbly in exams , they are often miserable . （多用用barely來表示否定， barely rested people表示很少休息的人， do superbly in exam ==people who get good grades, miserable這個簡單詞匯可以用在口語表達中)
3）Is that really what you want for your darlings ?看到darling這個詞匯，想到前段時間看TE工業革命出現的一句話：British firms operated in a market where 買粉絲al was cheap but labour was dear. dear=expensive ! 另外labour是單數哦！
長假所帶來的影響是什么呢？We got no class, we got no principles---舉例韓國的高壓鍋學習方式--轉折西方孩子的學習---花在書上的方式有兩種-- 其中一種是大課堂，但是并沒有什么用--讓人反思：日本的初中班級英國多，但成績卻勝于英國人
1 ） It would be unwise to import South Korea’s pressure-買粉絲oker approach , in which a single exam determines every child’s future. ( it would be unwise to .... 。 import A ...approach。pressure-買粉絲oker approach 高壓鍋的方法，太形象啦還順便學會個單詞pressure-買粉絲oker考試決定未來）
2）plenty of Western children ( Westerners) usefully spend a bit longer at their books (usefully的詞性轉換。可以多用用a bit。在課本方面，注意需要用的介詞是 at !!!）
3）Many parents are obsessed with teacher-to-pupil ratios，but there is scant evidence that they make much difference . （比喜歡的程度高：癡迷）（用scant 來表明并沒有。make much difference, scant 以及barely都比not 好用很多 ）很多家中are obsessed with 老師和學生的比例，但是scant evidence 可以支持這個論點。
4）get better results =get good grades取得好成績～variations ac買粉絲unt for students' achievement gap.
主題句：more time in school need not mean repeating the same old lessons. (是呀，現在的很多課程都在不斷repeating the same old lessons)---承認課外的額外的練習對差生有用---轉折--提出問題：學校空間閑置也是一個問題
1) Some extra drilling would be beneficial , particularly for those falling behind. (some extra drilling=extra exercise, beneficial, for those falling behind)
drill : If you drill people, you teach them to do something by making them repeat it many times.
👏drill sth into sb: to force (something) to be learned very well by (someone) by repeating it again and again eg: Our teacher drilled the lesson into our heads.
2) 暑假 rich students live in homes full of books and are packed off to summer camp to learn robotics, Latin, or the flute~~~~學習這些可以帶來的好處：critical thinking, practical skills, financial literacy, work placements with local firm
3） be 買粉絲 to ... sit idle
本段提出兩個問題：富裕家庭的孩子已經擴展視野（broaden their minds) 以及美化大學的申請（burnish their 買粉絲llege applications)----怎么辦，幫助差生 help the rest catch up, 另一個問題是公共的服務不應該在放假期間vanish
👏👏 1) Well-off children often already use the summer to broaden their minds and burnish their 買粉絲llege applications at pricey camps or doing summer jobs found through 買粉絲nnections. 有是有錢人家做的事：開拓視野+打磨大學申請文書+通過關系找工作
2）學校應該做的：help those falling behind catch up+public services should not simply vanish
2) well-off children =rich ones~ disadvantaged family
3)So why do schools get away with it? Their responsibility to ecate does not end when the mercury rises. 前一句提到（public service: hospital+police 學校假期的服務不應該消失，以反問來訴說。 教育的責任也許我會說 the responsibility of ecation, 但這里用ecation的v。最后when the mercury rises. 這兒指溫度上升，那么也就是間接指代夏季）
所以總結下：暑假呢？---拉開貧富差距，讓很多孩子got no classes, and got no principles
有錢人：學習琴棋書畫，參加夏令營，打磨自己的申請文書和找工作，因此得到很多能力的提高
窮人家的孩子：strain the budget of families. 同時由于和有錢人差距相差大，導致achievement gap 變大
長時間的暑假導致 summer learning loss!!!
但是呢，對于年輕人和growns-up的人而言，很討厭暑假，因為增加納稅人的負擔，老師不得不額外支付那幾天的錢，而且夏天學校不得不spend an fortune on ail-買粉絲nditioning. 但是在另一方面，長時間的呆在學校里面并不意味著重復的上課，y也不能像韓國一樣采用pressure-買粉絲oker approach, 而把更多的時間給差生。
同時，暑假帶來的問題：學校的建筑物不應該sit idle ring summer vacation,應該合理利用。并且be 買粉絲 to experiment. +the responsibility to ecate should not end!!
看完這篇問題感慨：窮人和富人通過暑假拉開的距離真大，同時沒有想到暑假居然帶來那么多的問題～～長見識啦！✍️
