I approve of autonomous learning in Chinese education. According to the definition of autonomous learning， which is a school of education and sees learners as individuals who can and should be autonomous； in other words， they should be responsible for their own learning. The learners are the main part in the autonomous learning， not teachers， not parents.

Autonomous learning helps students develop their self-consciousness， vision， practicality and freedom of discussion. These characters serve to aid students in his or her independent learning. We live in a learning society， which is not far more from enough for us to acquiring knowledge only from the books and teachers. In the past， when we were kids， we had been told to respect teachers and could not do anything bad. We should honor the teacher and respect his teaching. We should be diligent at our lessons and the teachers force us to learn， and we have to accept everything eventually. Burying ourselves in books trains many excellent students， who are good at math， who are good at literature and who are good at geography.

Dear Uncle Tom，

In your last letter， you asked me about whether I have made progress in study. Now， Im writing to you， wanting to get some suggestions from you. It is well-known that basketball is becoming more and more popular in China， especially among teenagers. I am the only one of teenagers who is fond of playing basketball and I have been spending a lot of time doing many things related to it， like watching NBA or CBA， buying magazines， reading newspapers and books， and even surfing the internet for more information about basketball， which， of course， has disturbed my normal study. Although I know that being a basketball fan is just my hobby and my goal is to acquire more knowledge in school so as to be admitted by a key university， I cant focus my attention on my study. Therefore， now， I am fed up with study. As you know， I am a senior three student and I am faced with the most important exam --the Collage Entrance Examination. Therefore， it is impossible for me to engage in a job linked with basketball. Now， I am at a loss ， please give me some advice.

Hope to hear from you soon！ Thank you！

Yours sincerely，

Li Hua
