First, lets play a game. Read the ppt.Today my topic is about examinations. As the final exams are coming, I think everyone has some ideas about it. Whether it is good or bad, lets put our prejudice away and enjoy it. First, lets take a view of our ancestors examinations. Story maybe like this:One day, the Emperor wanted to hire some people to work for him, so he asked his courtiers to find a way to select the best persons for him. The courtiers advised him to issue the examinations. So the Imperial examination started.In history, the Imperial examination was established by Emperor of Dynasty Sui in AD605. It was developed and completed in Dynasty Tang. Since then, it became a universal system in Imperial China to select officials for the state. General ProcessWe can see it in the PPT that there are four steps for the examination. Finishing the exam need at least 5 years. So our ancestors need to spend a lot of time preparing for the exams.The top three of the last exam are what we call “状元、榜眼、探花”. The list of winnersThis is the picture of the Imperial examination in Qing Dynasty. Let us just enjoy it.About the Imperial examinationThis system had a huge influence on both economy and culture to Imperial China.Neighboring Asian countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Korea also had similar systems, which were learned from China.But its disadvantages are obvious.

Even when some times we feel depressed, we tell ourselves “A fig for this! Just a few months on this”.SharingIn fact, when I now look back on those days, the feelings are complex, just as an old saying goes, if a person did not experience the college entrance examination, his life can not say completed. Recalling those days, with a faint hint of sadness and endless aftertaste, I really feel happy and proud.The Independent RecruitmentI think many of us may take part in last years Independent Recruitment.But have you heard the news about this years Independent Recruitment?There are three big groups this year. They are Tsinghua University Union, Peking University Union and Tongji University Union. However, it doesnt seem to be warmly welcomed this year.Our clever Chinese netizens created two interesting names for those groups, “huayue and beiyue ”, to show their attitude to it. Whats more, there are some experts criticizing the three groups for their malicious competition.About The Independent RecruitmentThe original intention of the independent recruitment is to create more opportunities for students who have special ability but cant be admitted to university in normal ways. But it now has become a game for some colleges to vie the outstanding students.In the U.S. Ivy League universities, candidates can enjoy the unlimited choices; they can apply for any college as they like.
