Last week, we held a discussion about whether Music and Art should enter the Entrance Examination for the High School. Students have different opinions. Some students support the idea. They think that it can help them pay more attention to studying art and learn more about the two subjects. Moreover, it's necessary for them to develop their skills and improve their ability to enjoy the beauty of their life. However, other students hold the opposite opinions. They insist that they'll feel more stressed when having too many exams. What's more, they have to put more effort into the two subjects. As a result, it's hard for them to achieve a balance between the subjects. In my opinion, I welcome this change because it will encourage us to find fun in our life and make our life full of joy.

Some students block their parents on WeChat Moments. I don't think it's proper because WeChat Moments can help our parents understand our ways of looking at many things. As for me, I do communicate with my parents. However, it is always about my study. I hope we can share more about our lives. In my opinion, for better communication with our parents, first of all, we should try to listen to them carefully and understand what they mean. What's more, we shouldn't be upset or angry when we have different ideas with them. We should just let them know how we feel. Only in this way can we improve our communication with our parents.
