In Singapore (新加坡), many school students spend a lot of time on their studies. People always think that good schooling is the key to success. So many of these students try their best to get good results in their exams. They have a lot of homework every day and exams are usually a big problem for them. Sometimes a few even have to go to evening classes after school because of the pressure (压力) of exams.
Students have many after-school activities to do at school, such as sports games, dancing and swimming. On weekends, they have enough free time to do what they like. Most students like to listen to pop music. Some of them also spend their free time surfing the Internet, e-mailing their friends and playing computer and video games. They sometimes go to cafes, fast food restaurants, shopping centers and big bookshops. They also join in community service (社区服务).
Life for students in Singapore isn't easy but rich and colorful.
