Today is a special day.....

Today is a special day for Chinese students, even may be for the whole of China.
This is the first day of college entrance examination,and the examination would lastsing for 2 days.
Maybe you can't won't understand why Chinese students are so crazy about this examination. But you should know,This is a rite of passage a number of for most students in China1 because they regard the this exam as a turning point in their lifes.  This is especially so for students whose family have a poor economic condition whose family are not in a well off economic status.

With China developing, people 's ideas have changed a lot but the college entrance examination is still very important for most people.I still remembered  the day two years ago on this day,when I was taking this examination it.  My parents felt were very nervous.They even spent two days to accompanying with me!

Now,my cousin is taking this exam too.Good luck to her!,girl!

Best wishes to you.
