Describe a rule that you don’t like
其实这恰恰是中西方文化差异的体现。在西方人的思维中，对于规则进行自己观点的阐述， 进行批判性的思维，恰恰是规则进步， 体系完善的重要步骤。

那么， 假如真的在考场中被抽到了这道题目应该怎么做呢？
首先， 大家冷静下来想想， 自己在学校里，或者说在生活中，有没有什么地方的规则， 让你感到没有那么方便， 或者给你带来了一定的阻碍呢？相信，其实细想，或多或少，在自己的身边总会有什么规则让大家觉得不是那么完美的。
然后，接下去，这个规则，具体给你带来哪些不便呢？假如没有这个规则， 你的生活，本来又可以变成什么样子呢？
再然后，这个规则肯定也并非草率而为之， 也并非如同儿戏，那么， 在制定规则的时候，制定者又是出于什么考虑呢？制定者在定出这个规则的时候， 又是想要避免某些不利因素呢？
最后， 规则是死的，人是活的，我们可以怎么做， 可以如何改进这个规则，从而让其更好地为人们服务呢? 如何改善这个规则可以让人们既享受规则带来的秩序，又可以避免被规则所过度束缚呢？
讲述框架
按照上面的步骤，一个大体的讲述框架就浮现在眼前
what the rule is
if students want to renew the book, they have to renew them in person, with the books at the reception desk of the library.
要续借个书还得带着一大包书，跨越各种大楼， 在前台排长队续借。
why you do not like this rule
see the library of my university, teaching buildings and my dorm are at the separate section of campus. If I want to renew my books after class, I need to rush back to my dorm since I usually put my books there with a distance of 2km. Then I need to carry all those heavy books with me to the library for another 2 km. Then after waiting in the line and finishing the process, I need to carry the books back for another 2 km. So in total, if I want to renew my books I need to walk for 6km which is equal to a mini marathon.(with a heavy load). Not to mention on rainy days, the water may damage the books and I may got slipped.
why the rule was set
Initially, the rule was still set for some reasons. Firstly, cases are that some students have already damaged or even lost the book so they keep renewing them. Also, if the library allows students to renew the books online, then students will keep the books forever so those also need the books are not able to use them.
how we can improve the rule
When there is a will, there is a way. The rules can be modified in the following two ways. Firstly, the university should upgrade its library system and students will be allowed to renew the books online. But ,before renewing the books, students must upload the pictures of the books to show that they are all intact and available.
Secondly, the library should trace the condition the request of other students, if they request the same books that have already been borrowed, then, after this period, the first lender should return the book immediately to allow the second lender to use.
Last but not least, the university should assign a team to process with the digitalization of the library, so that all the popular books in the library will be available online, then, everyone will have the access to use them at the same time.
好啦， 本期，通过这几个步骤， 让大家对于如何描述一个你不喜欢的规则有所了解。期待下次与大家再见。
