Kimmy and Amin are talking about going for tuition classes.Amin says that going for tuition is better but Kimmy disagrees with him.Who do you agree with?
I agree with Amin that going for tuition is a better way to achieve success.There are many advantages we can get from attending tuition classes.As Amin said we will study more seriously in tuition classes because we are paying for it.Moreover we have to show appreciation to our parents by giving full attention to the teachers in tuition classes because our parents are willing to pay for the tuition classes and all other expenses just to make sure we have a brighter future.
My reason for attending the tuition classes is because of my very own weakness.I really have problems with my History subject.This is when tuition classes are really needed. I realized that I have to pay extra attention on the subjects that I am weak in and score 8As by hook or by crook. Since the examination is just around the corner I have to take another initiative which is going for tuition.Moreover at the tuition centre we can choose to study the subjects that we are weak in.Some tuition centres also provide us with subject packages which will help us to save a great deal of money.
Tuition centres also have better facilities than most schools. The classrooms are usually air-conditioned. This will help me to study in comfort and thus enhance my concentration in the tuition classes. At my tuition centre , the teachers use microphone when conducting their lessons but my teachers in school do not. This special technique will ensure that the students can listen clearly what are being taught and at same time clearing any doubt.
The smaller number of students per session in tuition classes gives both the students and teachers benefits.As a student ,I am given more personal attention and guidance by my tuition teachers. The tuition teachers can easily spot the weakness of each student due to the small number per session hence come up with many enrichment exercises to help their students. The environment at the tuition centre is quieter too so it contributes to making the class more condusive.
The system of teaching and learning is also different. At tuition classes we are exposed to the system which is more exam-oriented. Most of the classes focus mainly on answering examination questions. Drilling exercises and practices are abundant to prepare the students on how to tackle examination questions.
Going for tuition is good because my free time will be even better full-filled.This can automatically prevent me and other students from doing meaningless things or activities such as watching television,playing computer games,loitering in town or chatting with my friends through the phone.
Meeting new friends from other parts of town or schools is also one of the advantages when attending tuition classes. We can use this chance to exchange opinions,notes or the latest news from our neighbourhood. For me , I love to have new and many friends so I can take the golden opportunity to find new friends from other schools.
I have to confess that behind all of these great advantages come some disadvantages.I realized that I sometime do not have enough time to relax and help my beloved mother to do the house-chores at home. However, I do not mind because all these sacrifices are for a brighter future.
