Z: I suppose the class size is bigger?

Z: In what way?
M: Well, some of m lessons are like in America: Mr. Dong asks a question or gives us a problem, then we
     talk about it and t   4    to discover an answer ourselves...
Z: Mm, that's student-centred learning, r   5   ?
M: Yeah, and another lesson are quite d   6    more. Well, for example, in some classes the teacher o   7    
     us the information and goes through the question step by step. Then we do a similar exercise by o   8    
     for homework.
Z: How do you feel about that?
M: A   9    I like those lessons because I can make sure I really understand everything.
Z: Yes, providing learners with a strong b  10   is one of the strengths of Chinese education.
