Topic1 Why Should We Listen to Classical MusicMany people like music. And we're living an age with an abundance of music genres 1. But it seems classical music no longer appeals to as wide an audience as before. Today we'll meet someone who has dedicated 2 herself to music education, esp. the revival 3 of classical music in the younger generation. We have Lynn J. Yen 4, Founder 5 and Executive Director of the NY-based Foundation for the Revival of Classical Culture.
Topic2 No detention 6 uniform for Jaycee ChanFormer Nanchang University President Zhou Wenbin refused to wear a detention uniform during trial, and when his request was turned down, he took the uniform off anyway.
This aroused heated discussion as Jaycee Chan, son of Chinese kung fu star Jackie Chan, didn't wear detention uniform on the court a few days ago.
Should famous stars wear detention uniform as ordinary suspects?
Topic3 10 things China does better than anywhere elseCNN has listed 10 things that China does best, in a semi-mocking semi-serious article. These include making delicious pork, indoor sports, pragmatism, calligraphy 7 and copying.
Do you agree?
Topic4 President Xi tells the young not to stay up lateAt a meeting with county government officials recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping advised people not to stay up, which aroused heated discussion.
President Xi recalled his early days when he used to stay up late and get ill often. He used his example to suggest people should not stay up all night.
Is there a problem? Are people staying up too late?
