What do you think of after-school activities
In my opinion, if the kids really like the activity such as basketball, they can go to these classes. There they may have some fun as well some skills.
I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities. Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves.
Discuss the questions with your partner.

4. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.
他们中很多人在学习考试技巧，这样他们就能进入好的高中学习，然后到好的大学。
so that & so… that…
1) so that引导目的状语从句，可与in order that 换用。从句位于句中常用情态动词may/might, can/could, should, would 连用，意为“以便，为了，使能够”。
e.g. They got up early so that they could catch the early bus.
为了能赶上早班车，他们早早就起床了。
2) so that也可以用来引导结果状语从句，意为“因此，结果”，这时其从句中的谓语动词不与情态动词连用。所表示的结果往往同主句有因果关系；
3) so…that…所表示的结果往往表明so后面形容词或副词的程度。
e.g.He didn’t plan his time well, so that he didn’t finish his work in time.
他没有把时间计划好，结果没有按时完成这项工作。
4)so…that…引导结果状语从句。so后面加形容词或副词，如此……以至于……。
e.g. This book is so interesting that everyone wants to read it.
这本书很有趣，人人都想看。
