You might get into trouble for talking in class, but experts have found that talking to your classmates can be helpful. “Students should be encouraged to explain things to each other and to discuss things,” they say. What helps you to learn? Do you like working in groups or do you prefer working on your own? Are there times when it's good to talk in a lesson? |
Talking in class distracts (使分心) you from getting on with your work. Eliza |
At the end of the lesson, our teacher lets us talk about what we've learned in class. I think that's a good idea. It helps us to remember what we've done and we can ask questions. Danny |
Our teacher sometimes tells us off (责备) for talking in class. It's true that if you're talking too much, you won't hear what the teacher is saying, so you won't learn anything. Judy |
Sometimes I'm scared to ask the teacher a question, so I often ask a classmate instead of asking my teachers. Tara |
Sharing ideas with friends helps me to learn. And you can learn by comparing answers. Sam |
We are not allowed to talk during important subjects like science and math. That seems OK to me. You can't do experiments (实验) and talk at the same time. You need to do experiments carefully! Ted |
I often get into trouble for talking too much. That's why I like my Chinese lessons. You have to talk a lot because you need to practice speaking Chinese. Mario |
