Chen Weijun,13, is a Junior 2 student at Huaqiao Middle School in Haikou, Hainan.

  This week, he had the happiest time. On Tuesday, he went to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. He and nine other kids became the Top 10 Young Pioneers.

  “Now I am not only my dad’s good boy, I am China’s good boy. I must work harder,” he said.

  At school, Chen is a good student leader. He does many activities. He was in short plays. He worked as a host(主持人) for his school TV.

  “I’m self-assured. It’s good to try different things.” Chen said. “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

  Chen’s teacher, Xie Wei, said Chen is nice and helpful. “He doesn’t talk much but works very hard.”

  Young Chen always helps other people. One student at his school, Wu Deyi, had leukemia(白血病). Chen asked students and teachers to help him. From February to May, Chen raised more than 20,000 yuan for Wu.

  Chen also thinks about how to make his city cleaner. There were plastic bags in the Meishe River. Chen was sad. He wanted the river to be clean. So he wrote a letter to the head of the city. He asked him to spend more money, tell people not to throw rubbish into the river and have a wall to keep children safe. The head of the city listened to him. Now the river is cleaner.

  At home, Chen is a good boy. He washes his clothes and he also cooks meals for the family sometimes. Chen says his hero is Premier(总理) Wen Jiabao. “He is very brave. He is not afraid of difficulties and makes China stronger,” Chen said. Will Chen become a big leader of tomorrow?

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”
We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.
Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused.
He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
