标题：Cram schools for kindergartners are the latest in South Korean college prep
Parents are increasingly preparing their 5-year olds to eventually sit for college entrance exams as competition for good universities grows ever more fierce.

正文：The South Korean kindergartners squirmed through their English-language writing class. They were not doing their ABCs. They were getting a head start on a defining moment more than a decade in the future: their college entrance exam. Write a paragraph of five to eight sentences using five synonyms for “large,” said Ms. Keri, their teacher. The kids began jotting down ideas in neat handwriting. But their minds wandered easily. “Make a stinky paragraph!” one girl yelled in English. The class erupted into uproarious giggles, echoing: “Stinky! Stinky!”

知识点：squirm through phr. /skwɜːrm θruː/
to struggle or move uncomfortably while doing something. 勉强应付；扭捏不安地完成
e.g. The shy student squirmed through her presentation. 这个害羞的学生勉强完成了她的演讲。
