This is a holiday week.
---By Chris
We swirl around , around the city.
Cause's this is a week for journey.
We turn around , around the city.
Cause's this is a week that lonely.
We walk in the street, not as lonely as cloud.
We run and creep, as fast as we could.
So, holiday is only lonely in a world there is no one happy.
There is question still not answered. But we are still happy to idle about.
There is question to be asked. If not happy, what else to be happy about.
We swirl around , around the city. Cause's this is a week for journey really lonely.
This poem is dedicated to all the students who've taken the national university entrance exam.

Our teachers for compulsory courses have all been sent to grade the students for their College Entrance Examination. Therefore, it is always a regularity for us English majors to have a lovely holiday right in the sizzler. This year, I have two little brothers form my mother side who have taken this exam. It came to me unsurprisingly that we, including the uncles , aunts and some merely-seen relatives of the two boys , all pay attention to them almost excessively. It is this distorted care from parents and teachers that lets us see more clearly defects within our existing education system. However, there will be no comments from me on the validity of the national university entrance exam because millions of you would present me with the unique educational situation in China. There is only one thing should be added here. That is, justification is no good for solving the problem. When millions of high-school graduates turn a puzzled eye to layers of choices——the universities and unfamiliar names for numerous majors——we should not assure ourselves of the feasibillity of this exam any more.
I cry for changes while crying for my crying for changes.
