As the saying goes, "Read 300 Tang poems by heart, even if you can't write, you will recite them." Everything is the same. In areas you don't know, as long as you have more contact, you will naturally understand them. Will you get three points if you don't understand? Therefore, in the face of ethnic minority students who don't know Chinese at all, we educators should expose them to Chinese and read them more texts, even articles outside the texts. They are not required to read, let alone understand, but to listen carefully and try to understand.
