This 15yearold boy always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. “What if my answer is wrong？” Wang asks himself.Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked. “I think it's a problem that may influence our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates，” he said.To know more about the situation, we interviewed Hu Wei, a teacher. When asked why the students didn't raise their hands, he said, “They lack(缺乏) confidence, they are afraid of showing off, or they're afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.”To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu put forward some ideas. He suggested that teachers should repeat the question, and then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers. Hu also advised students not to be shy, but to be brave enough to try. Some students can't understand why their classmates keep silent in class. Sun Pin, 16 from Fujian, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn't sure whether her answer is right or wrong.

Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children dont know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children.
