[Commentary] "Born in SARS and tested for pneumonia". For many 2020 college entrance examination candidates, the buzzwords on the Internet intuitively expressed the "bumpy road" of this year's college entrance examination. Half of the year has passed in 2020, and finally, in the expectation of the senior three students, the 2020 college entrance examination will begin on July 7th and 8th. In order to provide candidates with a comfortable and convenient learning environment, the tight "high school entrance examination room" in previous years has also been popular this year.

　　On July 3, standard rooms and family suites were still the “preferred choice” for parents of candidates in the non-prosperity city hotel about 480 meters away from Chengdu Shude Middle School Guanghua Campus. At present, the reservation of family suites has all been sold out, most parents In addition to basic demands such as quietness and travel convenience, it also attaches great importance to epidemic prevention facilities such as room ventilation, air conditioning, and sanitation. Liu Hua, the hotel's director of operations, said that since the Dragon Boat Festival, the hotel has started to accept bookings from parents of candidates, but it is far less than last year's "hot". In addition, Liu Hua also said that in the past years, parents tended to place orders through the Internet when they booked "high school entrance exam rooms," and this year more parents have chosen to make on-site reservations after field trips.

　　As of today (July 3), the reservation volume is about 40%. Our total number of rooms is 109, which means that there are about 40 reservations for a college entrance examination room. To be honest, there were a lot of rooms reserved for the college entrance examination last year. This year does not have as many reservations as last year's college entrance examination. May only reach half of last year's level.

　　[Explanation] Liu Hua introduced that considering the hot weather and epidemic prevention and control, and the time requirements for the fragmentation of the college entrance examination, the hotel also launched a "lunch break room" to provide candidates and parents with a temporary "foothold". This type of room is also subject to Welcomed by many parents.
