Sample Sentences

啊？自由？我怎么觉得中国的大学生没什么自由呢？大家几乎都要住校，而且在学业方面的选择性也不高。考大学前就要定专业，进了学校，就按部就班地读校方设置的科目。
ā ？zìyóu ？wǒ zěnme juéde Zhōngguó de dàxuéshēng méi shénme zìyóu ne ？dàjiā jīhū dōu yào zhùxiào ，érqiě zài xuéyè fāngmiàn de xuǎnzéxìng yě bù gāo 。kǎo dàxué qián jiù yào dìng zhuānyè ，jìn le xuéxiào ，jiù ànbùjiùbān de dú xiàofāng shèzhì de kēmù 。
Huh? Free? How come I feel like Chinese college students don't have much freedom? It seems like everyone has to live on-campus, and doesn't have a lot of choice over what to study.
