Let's learn Chinese language and Chinese culture through Slow Chinese Podcast.

高考的全称是:普通高等学校招生全国统一考试。

高考是每年6月份举行,一般要考3天。

今年的高考有1000多万学生参加,竞争非常激烈。

考试的科目包括语文、数学、英语,

还有学生自己选择的理科科目或文科科目。

高考考得分数高,就可以去好的大学,毕业容易找到好的工作,

所以高中生都会为了这个考试拼命准备。

高考这么重要,很多明星都会在社交媒体平台为学生加油。

比如,去年,球星梅西在微博祝福学生“高考要加油,相信你最牛!”

考试当天,最紧张的可能不是学生,反而是他们的父母。

有的爸爸妈妈会一直在考场外面默默等待,

希望能给孩子精神支持;

有的妈妈在考试当天专门穿旗袍,因为旗袍意味着“旗开得胜”,

祝福孩子能够取得好成绩。

就在前几天,今年高考的成绩公布了,有人欢喜有人愁。

接下来学生们要面临一项更重要的任务:申请大学和选择专业。

你知道最受中国学生喜欢的大学专业是什么吗?

统计显示,在被录取的学生选择的专业中,前十名几乎都是理工科,

排名第一的是经济学专业,第二名是商务管理专业;

到了第11名才出现社会科学专业,比如新闻学。

看来,中国大学生都偏爱选择学习理工科专业。

中国以前还流行一句口号:“学好数理化,走遍天下都不怕。”

你们国家有类似高考的考试吗?留言告诉我吧!
