Topic2 Many office workers haven't taken their annul leave The Chinese way of dealing with holidays has always caused a lot of discussions. Last week, an online survey done by Chongqing Morning Post and a local research company finds that 75% office workers among 939 respondents haven't finished taking their annual leave. 32% among them used part of the annual leave, while 34% didn't use any. 9% even said that they don't have annual leave.

Is this a problem?

Topic3 Assist Traffic Police Before Getting Driver's License For drivers-to-be in Liuzhou city of Guangxi, they are required to serve as assistants to traffic police before they get their license.

Does it make sense?

Topic4 Chinese Style Christmas Although a majority of Chinese people do not have a Christmas break, the country's youth have been increasingly getting into the holiday spirit.

Is it unexpected that Christmas is celebrated in China?
