This reply from my mate who was in Changsha.
"I think this is the famous test I told you about. But it actually
goes to the school. I was in the FOAs office grading other teacher's
compositions! And some of the answers were just made up by the FOA.
It is simply a tool schools can use to fire someone they don't like.
That is exactly how it was used in Hunan, until the school found out
that they were not having success recruiting new teachers. Then, one
English teacher had his test scores automatically fixed.
This is the one about whether teachers should use "The Force." I
honestly thought this referred to the star wars type of force, and I
answered I didn't believe in mysticism."
As it's a Chinese test, I'll let you decide if you should use The Force :-)
It was probly written by the people who wrote 'Go For It' textbooks..

ps probly is emergent grammar :-) as used by some NZ prof who lectured at
