【正确答案】 The Differences between American and Chinese Education
As all of us can see, our Chinese have numerous differences compared with Americans, especially in education. Here are the differences.
In the first place, Chinese universities admit students mainly by the grades they got in college entrance examination, which are expected to be fair, while the American universities take consideration of not only the GPA but also the extracurricular activities, recommendation, the interview performance and so on. Meanwhile, Chinese students are burdened with pressure from homework. As a consequence, almost all of us take persistent efforts to work hard to get a good grade. Differently, Americans take it for granted that the children should enjoy their happy childhood by playing instead of hard work before college. What's more, American students emphasize more on practice so they always take a crack at anything they want. But for the Chinese students, Practice is the thing they know but never try.
In a word, there are so many differences in education between the two countries that it is absolutely necessary for us to take measures to improve.

中美教育之间的差异
正如大家所见。我们中国和美国存在很多差异,尤其是在教育方面。这里给出不同差异。
第一,中国的大学主要通过高考分数来录取学生,这被认为是公平的,而美国的大学不仅看平均成绩还要看课外活动、推荐信、面试表现等。同时,中国学生承担着作业的压力。因此,我们几乎都要为取得一个好成绩付出艰辛的努力。不同的是,美国人天经地义地认为儿童在上大学前应该有一个快乐的儿童时代而不是刻苦学习。还有,美国学生强调实践,所以,他们对任何事情都想试一试,但对中国学生来说,他们仅仅知道实践而从未实践过。
总之,两个国家在教育方面存在许多不同点,因此,我们努力改善它是绝对必要的。
