J+99 The PE lessons in Chinese middle school.


This topic deserves little article. The PE (Physical Education) lessons have turned out to be the most surprising thing in School for me...

I was expecting something very very hard, exhausting, taking account of the Chinese disciplined way of training... But NO.

In fact it is more like a break. In France, we had no choice, it was obligatory to run unless we wanted a terrible grade.

In my PE lesson, there are 3 classes. We all go up 6 floors, into a hall, with Badminton courts and ping pong tables. The teachers chat with some of the students, and people can do pretty much as they want! A lot of students even bring their homework ... with the hope this will allow them to get a little more sleep at night.

As far as I am concerned, this is always a great moment and opportunity to see my friends from the other classes. Besides, I do enjoy sports!

I am surprised by the extent to which teenagers here are in bad physical health. They are far from being fit, this includes most of the boys. The truth is, they simply don't have any time to exercise, so everybody thinks I am a exceptional runner here, I have more endurance than them.
