Original 

I was a good student. I never fall in love, in China if the teacher find the boy and girl have a close relationship _ the teacher will talk with the and ask what happen between them. I think in China, it is the lack of knowledge of the sex. Now a days in Shanghai or Beijing, the school will have the sex class in school. But in a lot of the other cities, they don’t have the education.
