We spoke to Zhong Tai, an eighteen-year-old student from Sichuan Province who started an
e-learning course last month.
“After I finished high school, I knew I wanted to continue to study,” Zhong Tai told us. “I
really wanted to study economics at university, but I felt bad about __76__ my parents. My father suffers from a severe illness. He needs help moving around. He also needs someone to cook his meals and give him his medicine at the right time each day. My mother is a teacher, so she cannot help him during the day. We didn’t want to hire(雇) someone to look after him. It had nothing to do with money I just didn’t feel right leaving my father with a __77__. My mum suggested I go to a university nearby and continue to live at home, but none of the universities close to my home town offer economics.

I started an economics course with them four weeks ago.”
Yet, though Zhong Tai is now a graduate at the University of London, he has never been to
Britain. In fact, he has never left Sichuan.
We asked Zhong Tai whether he felt bad about missing some __79__ enjoyed by students
studying on the campus, such as making new friends from different places.
“Not at all,” he replied. “I have made a lot of friends with people from my course online.
__80__, during the evenings and weekends, I go out with my friends from high school. Since most of them also use e-learning, we all still live close to one another.”
