Attacking the exam-based education system, the love and pain of youth, feeling lost and sad – at the time, I felt like I could write more than a few books myself.

嗯，这小姑娘是天才！不过在家里上学是挺好的。学校统一的应试教育把孩子的天性都扼杀了。

Yeah, that girl's a genius! Homeschooling is great, though. The school's unified examination system smothers a child's natural talent.

自己教肯定有好处，可以因材施教，不让孩子变成应试教育的牺牲品。说实话，我很痛恨应试教育！整天就是考考考，分分分！

There are definitely advantages to teaching your kids yourself; you can cater your teaching to your child's individual needs. There's no need to make your child a casualty of the examination system. To be honest, I really despise the examination system! It's just testing and scores all day long!

你才发现啊，这就叫做换汤不换药。这个试那个试，其实都是应试教育。个人的才能统统给埋没了。

Now you finally understand the meaning of, 'to change the soup, and not change the medicine'. The differences are only superficial. This exam and that exam, actually it's all a part of this examination-based approach to education. The individual's talents are completely overlooked.

但是，作为一个拥有那么多人口的国家，地区差异那么大，采用应试教育，也是没办法的事。

dànshì ，zuòwéi yī ge yōngyǒu nàme duō rénkǒu de guójiā ，dìqū chāyì nàme dà ，cǎiyòng yìngshì jiàoyù ，yě shì méi bànfǎ de shì 。

However, in a country that possesses such a large population and regional differences, this kind of examination-based approach to education is also something that cannot be avoided.

我们前面说中国孩子是应试教育的产物，所以都是考试能手。他们听课、做功课、和复习都是为考试而准备。国外孩子就不太一样了，注重享受学习的过程。我就有些学生平时发言特别积极，很有自己的观点，但是作业和考试都不怎么样。

是啊。首先他们对待学习的态度就不一样。中国学生更多地把学习看作任务。从小接受应试教育，题海战术，求知欲、自主性和兴趣都被磨灭了。
