Question

At the start of his new term, Zhou Ziyu, a student from Heilongjiang, got some big news. Her school plans to delay (延迟) its start time to 8 a.m. She was quite happy.

Zhou used to get up at 6 a.m., but would study until 10 or 11 p.m. the night before. She worked very hard. Her school asked students to arrive at 6:30 a.m. in summer and 7 a.m. in winter. She didn't get enough sleep. “ I often felt sleepy in class. But if my school plans to delay the start time, I'll be very glad.” Zhou said.

In fact, all of the schools in Heilongjiang plan to change their start time. Primary and middle schools will expect students to arrive at 8 a.m. or later. The change will help more students get enough sleep. In general, most Chinese middle school students have to arrive at school at around 7 a.m. Students have to get up at 6 a.m. or even earlier if they live far from school. While they often say up late in the evening, they can get the nine hours of sleep that they need to stay healthy.

In the future, more places might carry out similar policies. However, some students still worry about the rule. They prefer to have some study time before class begins in the morning. They think this is the best time o study and remember things.
