  1. Yu, I want you to work on this topic, but the outline needs to be changed before you start to write. Since grading is kind of too narrow to write a full paper, I'd like you to choose more general topic such as different education systems between the USA and China. Also, there's no thesis statement yet for the outline above, so don't forget to have a clear thesis in the introduction. I'm looking forward to seeing your improvement. Good luck!
