They still party and have a good time, but students are working harder and more consistently, their parents believe. Partly, it is the move away from “big bang” finals to continuous assessment, they say, but also the pressure to get that all-important 2:1 or above degree classification.
(Bố mẹ họ tin rằng họ vẫn tổ chức tiệc tùng và có khoảng thời gian vui vẻ, nhưng các sinh viên này đang làm việc chăm chỉ hơn và kiên định hơn. Họ nói, một phần là vì những bài kiểm tra cuối kì đã được thay thế bằng các bài đánh giá liên tục, và cũng là áp lực phải đạt được sự phân loại bằng 2:1 hay các bằng cấp cao hơn).
=> Như vậy, “they” ở đây là bố mẹ các sinh viên.
