   Topic1-The Culture of Tutoring in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Chinese Mainland


  They strike glamorous 1 poses in posters in shopping malls and on the sides of buses in Hong Kong. But they are not movie stars or supermodels: they are Hong Kong's A-list "tutor kings" and "tutor queens", offering pupils a chance to improve mediocre 2 grades. Hong Kong Special Administrative 3 Region has an established booming tutoring industry. How is that different from the tutor industry in the Chinese Mainland and other regions in Asia?
  While children in the Chinese mainland are complaining that they have to attend so many after-school tutoring sessions, the truth is, things were not exactly easy for kids in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Taiwan region, or even students from Asia in general. So, let’s compare the extra-curricular training course in these different places.
