How do you students spend your free time after finishing homework? Watch TV, play
computer games, or go outside to relax? Maybe the following story can bring you something
different.
Mei Siying and his classmates, from Shanming Middle School in Wuxi, Jiangsu, felt they
had nothing to do in their free time but play with electronic products. So they
designed some community activities like visiting science museums, watching movies, and
holding photo shows and basketball competitions for the students. These special activities now
have become popular in Wuxi communities. To motivate more students to work for the
community activities, the students also designed a virtual bank for students to get
some "gold coins". If you get a certain number of "gold coins", you will be able to get a free
ticket to watch a movie. "We feel excited to work together and hope to try more in the future. I
have a great time and learnt a lot of skills from the activities," Mei Siying said.
