英語角-圓桌會議 RoundTable - 如何做一個相夫教子的傳統(tǒng)媳婦兒

Topic 1: China Telecom lost 4 million subscribers in 5 months
China's third largest mobile phone player has seen a sharp decrease in users as its two competitors record consistent growth.

China Telecom has reported a subscriber loss of 950,000 in May, while China Mobile added 3.3 million 4G users and 4.3 million 3G users, and China Unicom gained another 2.7 million subscribers to its services during the same month.

What should China Telecom do?

Topic 2: Set-top box regulation
Starting from this April, the Chinese government has commenced a campaign called "clean up the Internet". Now, this campaign has reached our TVs.

China's top media supervisor recently ordered two Internet television set-top box providers to cut off downloading channels for some streaming videos which are suspected to contain forbidden content.

What is the regulation?

Topic 3:Chinese college students spending habits
A report on the consumption patterns of Chinese college students shows half of the students surveyed spend 1,000 to 2,500 yuan per month and they spend most of their discretionary income on food.

The report was released by the Shanghai Jiaotong University. It also indicates that students of liberal arts majors spend more than their science and engineering peers.

How much are they spending every month?

Topic 4: How to be a good traditional wife
As China's economy progresses apace, more and more people are looking back to ancient China for advice on relationships. This trend has even gone so far that now classes are being offered to women on how to be a good, traditional wife. However, many are questioning how these patriarchal ideas square with modern society.

Do we need these types of classes?

Topic 5: Girls who like boy-love fantasies
Fujoshi, literally rotten or helpless girl in Japanese, has come from the fringes of Chinese culture and just recently officially entered into mainstream online culture. Users on weibo have issued a standard by which a girl can be considered fujoshi, or in Chinese funv. This, of course, has gathered quite a bit of attention.

But, for people like myself, totally out of loop, this raises the question, what in the heck is funv?
