Since September，many schools have increased the number of PE classes from three a week to five or even more according to China's new standard on physical education.The standard asks schools to make sure that PE classes take up 10 to 11 percent of all class time.
    Alongside basic exercises including running and long jump，the standard also encourages schools to provide other popular sports，such as water sports and traditional Chinese sports.For example，Gao Yuxiang from Yantai No.1 Middle School enjoys the Taichi competition at school.
    "At first，Taichi was only required during break time to learn about Chinese traditional culture，but students fell in love with it later，"said Gao.Grade 7 students all need to do it.And there's a Taichi competition every year for Grade 8 students.After the Taichi classes end，Gao keeps practicing by himself in his free time.
    Ren Jianing is a hip-hop dance fan，and her high school helps her develop this hobby. "There are many choices for PE class at the beginning of every term，and I always go for hip-hop dance，"
    Ren said. "The class doesn't require any experience，so anyone can sign up." Every class they play a new movement' skill. "Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter，" said Ren.
