With more Chinese children coming to study in Singapore, a unique community of women known

as "pei du ma ma", which, loosely translated means "study mamas", has emerged here. 【C1】______ are there to keep their children company. Singaporeans have responded 【C2】______ their presence with mixed reactions. What is more important is 【C3】______ their experiences say about the education industry here. Singapore no doubt presents unique advantages as a choice for Chinese students who are 【C4】______ to study overseas. It is a Garden City 【C5】______ has an efficient judicial system and an orderly society. It has a bilingual policy and Chinese are the majority. Life here is easy to get 【C6】______ to and, what' s more, their mothers are 【C7】______ to come here to be with them. Most Chinese students who wish to come to Singapore 【C8】______ to recruitment agencies in China to make the arrangements. For sure, the agencies will 【C9】______ make all kinds of promises to attract the students' attention. They claim they would find the right school for the kids and that it would be 【C10】______ too for the mothers to find jobs here. Not only would they earn enough to pay for school fees of their children, but they would probably also be able to 【C11】______ their own living expenses.

They soon run out of money and find themselves in a dilemma—they have neither the means to return to China 【C16】______ the funds to continue living here. As a 【C17】______ , some "study mamas" are driven by circumstances to become masseuses. People began to look down 【C18】______ the entire "study mamas" community, making life 【C19】______ for these women. Personally, I think the root cause 【C20】______ in the agencies which provide misleading information.
