One thought on “GRE = God Read English

  1. Some people study a second language for the fun of it,but for many Chinese students,they have to study English in order to pass exams.As there are so many Chinese students,the competition is very fierce.In order to select the “best” student,the exams are usually very difficult but not practically.Sometimes Chinese students complain that they will never have chance to use some GRE words when they study in US because the words are seldom used by US local people.There is no doubt that there are some problems in the Chinese education system,but sometimes we have no choice because of the population,limited educational resources and so on.But I think things will get better as China moves forward.
