　　1. Reduction of Students’ Study Load
　　Facing huge amount of homework, frequent exams and ambitious expectations of their parents, Chinese primary and middle school students now grow up under heavy pressures. This has time and again triggered (触发) the nationwide discussion on whether or not we should reduce the students’ study load.
　　Some people strongly advocate that we should reduce the students’ study load. They hold that, first, it deprives children of their free time and the golden, cheerful childhood which they deserve. As a result, everyday they rush to school with heavier and heavier bags and return home with endless homework. Sometimes they even have to burn the midnight oil. Moreover, all their weekends and vacations are occupied with make-up lessons. Second, heavy study load has seriously affected their physical and psychological health.(影响身心健康) To illustrate, more and more students are either wearing glassed or suffering from nervous disorder. Occasionally it even can lead to the occurrence of tragedies.
　　However, others hesitate about it and they prefer to stick to the old practice rather than to reduce students’ study load. They believe that only hard work can earn a bright future for children. They also believe only those who study hard under much study load can get rewarded by finding an ideal job in the cut-throat comPETition. Besides, they think it’s just a waste of time for students to idle around. The fact that more children were drowned this summer might result from the reduction of study load.
　　My suggestion is that we should moderately (适当) reduce students’ study load. What is more, as heavy study load is the by-product of the existing exam-oriented system,（应试教育） we should reform the exam assessment system. （考试评估系统）only in this way can we completely solve the problem
