Our school regulation handbook says no. However, in my opinion, college students should have the right to do so.It is necessary here to s

2、tate the purpose of students attending classes. They do this to gain more knowledge and skills. In most cases, going to classes is a very good and irreplaceable way for students to obtain knowledge. In some cases, however, students can benefit more if they skip certain classes. Some do so because th

Of course, if they are

4、not very familiar with the content of the missed class, they should make up for it. There is another case, though not very common, that the whole course or part of it is improper or just too simple for some students or many. Then they should be able to skip some classes. Another important reason why

They know for what and for whom they are studying, and they can judge reasonably whether they should skip or

6、 not skip a particular class under particular circumstances. The world today has come to era时代 of “knowledge explosion”. Mountains of useful knowledge and information are waiting for young students to know or master. They cannot afford seeing their hours flowing away with nothing accomplished. If th

All in all college students should have the right to skip classes.2 A letter form my penpal-Qing 编辑: pan sh

9、iting homework, I am sure it is the result of your effort. As a student, I never offend the teacher personally .In GP lessons during the 2 years in junior college (JC), when we have to discuss an open-ended topic, I will be very responsive.

11、 to debate, sometimes I will speak out if I disagree with the teachers ideas, even if it means speaking against her.:-) cannot help it when my mouth sets me running around. However I think this is the purpose of holding a debate.which really helps in brainstorming.Talking about teachers. My junior c

12、ollege classmates often offend them because as a whole we are very distracted and always fool around in class. Once my Economics teacher actually stormed out of the class because of that. As an Economics Representative, I have to take up the responsibility of finding her (she deliberately hide away

13、somewhere during the next lesson, as though she is having a strike), eventually I found her in the student prohibited corner of the library instead of the staff room. She refused to forgive us at first but I wrote a letter of apology on behalf of the class before things are back to normal again. I t

17、 be graded on the spot. The teacher goes around and we just have to raise our hands to show that we are ready (there is a time limit though). For the first situation, the teacher looks at it and grades it without tasting. For the second situation, the teacher tastes it before grading. For mine, the

18、teacher used the first situation on me. After a few minutes or so when I was about to clear up, she came back to me and taste my fried noodles. Then she told me that the display of the noodles together with some decorative food is beautiful and look so attractive that she cannot resist but to taste

19、it. However after tasting it, she realized that it was far too selfish. There goes my grade.she actually lowered it. Fortunately, the theory exam helped me to pass better.There are so many festivals here but I shall not talk on Chinese festivals. I am sure you know them better than me, right? Let me
