Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy, because they feel heavy pressures from
theirparents. Most students are always told to study hard so that they can live a wonderful life. However,
many of the students have tried very hard at school but have failed their exams. These students feel sad,
and they don"t want to go to school anymore. They easily become dropouts (辍学者). Such students
may join the groups of trouble-makers and turn to crime (犯罪).
Though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way.
Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers" job to help their
children. A lot of parents also send their children to other schools in evenings or on weekends, but these
only help the students to pass their exams and never teach the students how to understand life and the
world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything, from the students" hair to their clothes and
the things in their schoolbags. Many child psychologists now think that the rules are too strict and harmful (有伤害的) to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them
how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, or how to show love for others, even for their
parents.

This is an old English saying. Have you heard of it before? It means that we must go to bed early and
get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).
This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten
hours" sleep every night. Children who do not have enough sleep cannot do their work very well. They
will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!
The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing g ames are all
exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong. Exercise also helps the blood (血液) to move around inside
the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs
blood. Exercise helps us to think better!
