Topic Reading-Vol.1725-12/31/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Photos of Chinese students taking test in heavy smog draw outrage
Putting a pollution mask on is no new news in Beijing. But wearing one to take tests on the school playground is not a common practice even in this air-pollution-accustomed city in central part of China.
Staggering photos of students taking exams on the school playground with pollution masks on went viral and the school principal was suspended from his duty.
But why the students were taking exams on the playground in the first place? Is that a traditional practice in the region or a measure to prevent students from cheating?
Enjoy reading and thinking what it’s like to take on a task outside in polluted air.
