課時訓練 （P 72）
More and more middle students are going to all kinds of training classes or having family teachers at the weekend .There are two different viewpoints about it.
Some thinks it necessary .First of all ,it’s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves .Secondly ,it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Besides ,they can learn a lot more. Others think it unnecessary .For one thing ,students can easily form the habit of dependence .For another ,students need time to time. What’s more ,the purpose of many training classes and teachers is to make money.
In my opinion ,whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends .If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject ,maybe it’s OK for you .but be sure to choose a good sand suitable class or teacher .otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.

I think most of what we learn at school is useful. The problem is that we do not always know this from the start.
Take science ,for example. I hated chemistry lessons when I was younger .I I couldn’t see the point in doing boring experiments and learning tables. Now that I want to be a doctor ,I appreciate how important chemistry is .I realize that we have to learn the basics first .I used to think learning English was pointless too ,but now it really helps me a lot in communicating with foreign friends and gaining knowledge.
In conclusion ,I would say that most of what we learn at school is quite useful .I just wish all teachers would make it clear how the subjects we study can really help us later on in life.
