Tape script:

TV reporter: Here I am in China, looking into a problem that is common among Chinese students today — the increasing number of Chinese students with short-sightedness.

According to the result of a national survey of students’ health the percentage of Chinese primary school, students who suffer from short-sightedness is twenty-two point eight per cent. Among junior high school students the number increases to fifty-five point two per cent, and as for senior high school students, seventy point three per cent of them need to wear glasses. These high figures worry both teachers and parents.

But first, what exactly is short-sightedness? Short-sightedness is caused when the eye is unable to focus on distant objects. This results in poor eyesight. Short-sightedness can usually be corrected with glasses.
