Examination-oriented education can be seen everywhere, but objectively speaking, that’s much less in America than in China.

About Education (a translation exercise)

Such The behavior of some/many(?) Chinese teachers is a great hindrance to students' creativity. (if students is a plural, the possessive apostraphe needs to be at the end. If it is singular, you need to say "a student's) Now, t There is a well-known question; how many uses can you think of for a paper clip? Most students can figure out think of 10 to 15 uses in this test, whilst someone can get think of more.

The test shows that the divergent thinking is different to each person. (These both say each person's thinking is different - a better way of phrasing this sentence would be "The test shows that each individual person's thinking is different") The research group also separated the answerers into different groups by their age. They found that the younger the answerers were (past tense), there will be the less limits of their answers the less limited their answers will be. Additionally, in the aspect of the when assessing adults who have been educated for many years, they found that they have pretty comparatively fewer answers to this question.

People can’t help to think This raises a question; how can the well-educated people not compared to preschoolers why do well-educated adults compare so poorly to preschoolers?  Long time ago, people had to walk to the/a banks to deposit and withdraw money. Nowadays These days ATMs have been are located in every corner all around the world.

Science and technology are always continuously progressing, whilst the education is not. (Avoid contractions in formal writing) From Since the beginning of public education in the 19th century, the education system has continued not changed to today. Students enroll in the lowest grade and graduated in the highest grade. (I did not correct enroll as it appears you are using American English. For reference, British spelling only allows the spelling of "enrol") That This seems just like an assembly line. Schools just “produce” students to meet the demands of society. Then, a lot of gifted students of genius lose their potential.
People (who finds this? Do not just say "people", say who finds this e.g. "The institute of... finds", or "... study finds", etc. If unknown, just write, "Researchers find") find that some students make different performance in perform differently at different times and on during different classes. Some students like to study in groups, whilst some like to study alone and quietly. However, schools won’t will not make changes to respond to such situations differences/individuality.

Many people are very angry concerned to find that the syllabuses (another plural is "syllabi", but both can be used) are made from last year’s the same as the previous year's. People are educated under a uniform standard. If everyone can were to be estimated considered respectively/individually(?), maybe the results will may well be different. Examination-oriented education can be seen everywhere but, objectively speaking, that’s there is much less of this orientation in America than in China. Maybe Perhaps this is the reason why there are much so many more American Nobel laureates than Chinese ones.
