give you an ideas on how parents make use of it!
I get some feedback from users, noted that it is not Ipad friendly and young users may have problems using it as the interface is not kid-friendly!

Sometime, it is not easy to understand the subtle meaning and the satirical expression of the columnist. To read the commentary on the page is a great challenge especially to reader who do not have background knowledge and good commands of Chinese.
Nevertheless, if the interest is aroused, one can always build up their current affair awareness and increase their Chinese vocabulary day by day!

Notes to learners:
If you know some Chinese and have some foundation (Like a primary school students who can read some Chinese words), you will benefit a lot from this web site.
If you are beginner and illiterate in Chinese, you may find it hard to understand some of the translation in English as the English translation is very much machine based translation.
The translation may contains grammatical error and some misuse of words. Hence, English speaking learner will experience lot of frustration if they are not guided by some one who are well versed in Chinese.
I try some of the pages, and discover that most of the links with sound files cannot be access yet. It will take time for a lot of functions to be refined. Check it up in a month's time if you cannot open the file now. If you cannot wait for a while, just write to the webmaster for assistance!
