Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society's belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about maths, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and selfcontrol. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The wife started to get angry at her husband, HI always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me.

It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them." 注意：所续写短文的词数应为150左右；Paragraph 1 ： When the porter heard the angry wife asking,Paragraph 2： Upon hearing this,the husband had tears in his eyes, 【参考范文】Paragraph 1: When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back and rushed to the market.Seeing the porter escaping quickly, the rich couple ran after him while calling the police. The police nearby rushed. At last, the porter stopped at the market, out of breath. The police seized him fast, but at this moment, they saw the old man lying there near the porter. When the couple arrived, they recognized the old man was the porter who they asked for delivery for them. Therefore, the angry wife shouted, "A thief here." However, the police stopped the woman and asked the old man to tell what happened to them.Paragraph 2: Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, and the wife felt ashamed. However, they didn't say a word. Suddenly the wife went to the market and bought a meal for the old man. After the old man finished it, he struggled to his feet, saying sorry to the couple. Because he was badly ill, he couldn't finish the delivery to their home. And he had to ask his workmate to do that. After the police knew they had settled the problem, they were willing to deliver the goods for the couple."The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves.
