It's the
end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School
in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their
micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last
hour.
Since last
year, the trend(潮流)of micro blogging
has swept the country. Recent survey shows that most students in middle schools
have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day.
"We
learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become
popular topics in class, "said Andy Liang. 14. "If you do not know
about them, you are out of the loop."
It is also
a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to
study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure." said
Simon Zhang, 15, "When I share these feelings on my micro blog. I get many
replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better. "
But
parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some
misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
Mr Shen, a
professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too
much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a
window for parents to understand their children.
"If
parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus
leading to better communication and solutions to problems, "he said, He
also gives some tips for kids.
