1. What is the common problem for Chinese and American families
The common problem for Chinese and American families is that children have too many after-school activities which cause them to be stressed.
2. Who gives their opinions about the problem
Cathy Taylor (a mother with three children), Linda Miller (a mother with three children), and Dr. Alice Green (a doctor) give their opinions about the problem.
These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China.
