Jul 14 2012: hi Sarah, i am in favor of your point. as we all know, the rapid development of technology like the Internet seems make people get closer to each other than before.for example, people from all over the worldl like us are able to interact with each other easily at any time, which is totally beyond our imagenation in the past. but at the same time we intend to ignore the people just around us, our neighours and even our family. i believe the friendly communications with the guys in our daily life will make us feel more comfortable and more happy. so pay more attention to community spirit is really a good way to help us deal with the increasingly pressure we face.
Jun 28 2012: hi Matthieu，i totally agree with your method to settding a goal for yourself ,cause it can serve as a reminder to help us squeeze time do something meaningful such as reading. i will have a try in the coming days.
Jun 28 2012: hi Linfeng, i do understand what you meant, cause many students in China includig me face such kind of problems. we are under pretty pressure from school and must spend most of our time on homework or something like that. but i still believe there will be some little spare time you could find in your daily life anyway. if you can take well advantage of them , you will definitely make a big difference about reading. According to my experience, most of books which i have read were just finished during the scattered time in my life. i even treat it as a way to relax and flee from the boring schoolwork for the moment. if you really want to do something you can always find methods and save the time to do it, right？good luck
Jun 27 2012: Maria, i totally agree what you said. in my country ,the goverment has been investing much fund to the high education system in the past decades, which made more and more young people get the opportunity to go to colleges. however most of them face the same prolem now , they can't find the expected job after graduation.some reasons contribute to such situation, the main reason is that many students think they should deserve a well-paid job in the big city and don't want to acted as the skilled workers, thus led to the conflicton between different industries. at the same time many students begin to wonder whether it is neccessary to achieve high education.
