I'm of the opinion that Taiwan's students are pathetic because they have too much pressure in their lives. Because they have to pass the Joint College Entrance Exam they must study hard To meet their teachers' and parents' expectations they have to study day and night.
But it's such a shame because most students don't know what they really want and what their goals in their future should be. So what should they strive towards? Should they only want to get the best grades and pass the JCEE? The answer is no. In my view all students should calm down for a few minutes and think earnestly about what they want.
