场景：小华和小红在看到高考作文题后，两眼泪汪汪，回忆当年高考时候的勇猛，更加着迷地研究起了今年的语文高考作文题。
Xiaohua: Xiaohong, ~~ Check out the essay topics of this year's Gaokao.
小华：小红，小红，小红。快来看今年高考语文作文题。
Xiaohong：Wow, the essay topic about the famous Chinese classical novel The Dream of the Red Chamber is quite challenging.
小红：哇！中国古典小说《红楼梦》的这个题最有挑战性。
Xiaohua：Yes. It's for Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and Tibetan Gaokao takers. Do you think it's fair?
小华：是啊。这是云南，贵州，四川，广西和西藏的考题。你觉得公平吗？
Xiaohong: Well, it's hard to say.
小红：嗯，难说。
Xiaohua：The essay required gaokao takers to decide the theme on the basis of their understanding of the reading material, a plot from The Dream of the Red Chamber.
小华：作文要求考生在阅读《红楼梦》中的情节后，自选主题。
Xiaohong: What's the plot about?
小红：什么情节？
Xiaohua：The plot is about the different names of a pavilion. One person directly quoted the words from the ancient text. Another person made up the name based on the antique prose but added his own idea. A third one created the name completely based on his understanding of the pavilion.
小华：是关于阁楼取名的情节。第一个人直接引用古文。第二个人用了古文并加上自己的想法给阁楼取名。第三个人完全凭自己的理解取名。
Xiaohong：So, it sounds hard for those who never read the Chinese Classical novels.
小红：所以，对于那些不读古文的人来说听起来好难。

场景：小红的名字绝对不是小红书的缩写，小红之所以这么有自信，是因为她从小就喜欢阅读古文，小学的时候，她从《三海经》入手，还阅读了《聊斋志异》《古文观止》《资治通鉴》，然后把四大名著全部啃完了，到了初中和高中，她发现她的语言理解能力的确比同龄人强很多，因为她小时候在古文上下足了功夫。于是，小红解释道：
Well, from this essay topic, we come to realize how important it is to read Chinese classics from young age. It's all about the accumulation of reading. 好吧，从这篇文章的主题，我们意识到，从小阅读中国古典（文学）是多么重要。这都是关于阅读的积累。
First, students are required to understand the meaning of the three names of the pavilion, which were all written in classical Chinese language, and then choose the theme from the reading material which gives no clear preference among the three names.
首先，要求学生理解三个阁楼的名字的意思，这三个阁楼名都是用文言文写的，然后考生从阅读材料中选择三个阁楼名进行写作，这三个阁楼名之前没有明显偏好。
So, this is very creative and makes it difficult for students to find a writing approach. I think future Chinese education should encourage students to think about what they read rather than roughly knowing what it is about. And this can inspire students to observe and consider things from different perspectives with an open mind.
所以，这是非常有创造性的，这也使得学生很难找到一个写作切入点或者路径。我认为未来的语文教育应该鼓励学生思考他们读到的东西，而不是粗略地知道它是什么。这可以启发学生以开放的心态从不同的角度观察和考虑事情。
