We are investigating a problem—short-sightedness, which is very common among Chinese teenagers today . We have interviewed a doctor in out city about what parents and student can do to protect students’ eyesight .The doctor strongly suggests that every year students’ eyes should be tested to identify any problems , and they should not read in bed with poor lighting as well . Apart from this , we’ve also made a survey on the measures they take in No.1 and No.9 Secondary Schools .
They both have taken steps to protect students’ eyesight such as asking students to look out of the window at regular intervals , changing types of paper and advising them to eye exercises both at school and at home . I hope our investigation might bring your attention to the problem and be helpful for you .Thank you for listening .
