One father said...
From the moment a young child carries his schoolbag and steps into the primary school campus, more than ten years of hard study and training are for the child to have a better future.
The editor believes that parents do not blame their children for failing the college entrance examination in their hearts, but just hope that their children can have a brighter future.
The editor has recently come into contact with many parents whose children have just finished the college entrance examination. The circle of friends of one parent left a deep impression on the editor and made him feel warm.
This is what the father said:
" Dear child, although you failed to do well in the college entrance examination, please don't be discouraged, and don't blame yourself. The college entrance examination is just a stage in life, not the only criterion for judgment.
As your parents, we will not blame you for this failure. On the contrary, we are more concerned about your feelings and future development. There are many paths in life, and we hope to accompany you to explore more possibilities and find the direction that suits you best.
Everyone has their own uniqueness and shining points. College entrance examination scores are only part of your ability and cannot fully define you. We believe that you have many potential talents and opportunities waiting to be discovered. Failure is not terrible. What is important is how to learn and grow from it. We are willing to face the challenges ahead with you and help you find the path that suits you best.
The road ahead may be a little bumpy, but please remember that we are always by your side, supporting and encouraging you. We hope you can let go of your burdens and face the future positively.

Children, please believe that the future you will definitely be better than the present... "
Parent Information War
The college entrance examination is not only an important challenge in a child’s life, but also an important choice for parents. Faced with a lot of school selection information, we must keep in mind one principle: choose a good university!
But how can we help our children choose the best one? 985? 211? Or.... the world's top 100 universities!
Don’t worry if your college entrance examination results are not ideal!
Because of the differences between the education systems of China and the UK, undergraduate studies in the UK only last three years , and most institutions of higher learning offer one year of preparatory courses. No domestic college entrance examination scores are required to apply for preparatory courses, and usually only specific requirements are made for students' English proficiency.
For example, you may get a certain score in the IELTS test, but your college entrance examination scores will have no effect on your application for the preparatory courses of a prestigious British university!
How to apply to a prestigious university?
What is a foundation course?
Preparatory courses are university basic courses or bridge courses. They are preparatory education before university. Generally, overseas high school graduates are required to study preparatory courses for about one year to adapt to the learning methods abroad. The British preparatory course system is usually one year (three semesters) or half a year (two semesters), and the school starts in September and January every year . Each major has corresponding admission score requirements. Students who successfully complete the preparatory course can enter the university to study undergraduate courses.
Advantages of Preparatory Courses
1. You can apply for high-quality British universities. Except for Oxford and Cambridge, most famous universities offer preparatory courses. If your academic and language scores meet the requirements, you will have a chance to be admitted.
2. Students in the second or third year of high school can apply. No college entrance examination scores are required . The IELTS scores are lower than the requirements for direct admission through the college entrance examination.
3. The start date of the school is flexible, either in September or January every year .
4. Mutual recognition between courses and universities, giving you the opportunity to enter better universities.
5. Help students better connect with undergraduate courses, adapt to the environment in advance, and adapt to the professional knowledge of English teaching in advance.
6. The total duration of preparatory course + undergraduate course is four years, which is the same as the undergraduate course in China . It will not make children fall behind the graduation time of their peers. Students with an undergraduate degree from a British university will have more advantages when applying for postgraduate studies .
7. Universities in the UK where you can apply for foundation courses:
UCL, University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, KCL, University of Bristol, University of Warwick, University of Glasgow, University of Birmingham, University of Southampton, University of Leeds, Durham University
(The above schools are ranked in the top 100 in the world)

(The above schools are ranked in the top 500 in the world, and the ranking order refers to the 2025 QS University Rankings)
What do I need to apply for a foundation degree?
You do not need the college entrance examination scores to apply for a preparatory course, as long as the IELTS scores meet the requirements.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) scores play an important role in applying to British universities, directly affecting international students' admission opportunities and learning experience. British universities generally require applicants to provide IELTS scores to assess their English language proficiency.
The IELTS test is held almost every month in China. The test time is very flexible. As long as they study English for a period of time, most candidates can achieve good results in a short period of time and have a greater chance of being admitted to world-renowned universities.
Since the policy stipulates that all Chinese IELTS examiners must not be Chinese nationals, the vast majority of examiners are foreigners . When choosing an IELTS tutor, courses taught by native British English teachers are more effective than those from general English tutoring institutions.
Because students can not only learn English knowledge, but also learn to imitate the teacher's standard pronunciation , British thinking in oral exams, article writing ideas , etc., which is more conducive to achieving higher scores in one-on-one interviews with examiners.
