He doesnt even care whether we

39、 can understand at all. What a bad teacher!Wang: How come you can think like that?Tian: Why not? Most of the students say that.Tang: Its not our fault. It is the teacher to be blamed. His teaching method is terrible. Tian, dont you think so? Tian: I could not agree more. I think we should drop the n

40、ext class.Zhang: Good idea. It is really a waste of time here. Personally, I think we college students should not be required to attend classes.Tang: Yes, you are right.Tian: How ridiculous it is to hear a college student attending classes every day. Say goodbye to classes. Lets go back and playing

41、computer games.Wang: NO NO NO! You can not do that. As a student, your main task is to attend classes.

44、ith you, Tang? You are always working very hard.Tang: Er. I am not interested in this class and the class is useless. Besides, I just can not understand the teacher. His teaching method is really terrible. If I stay here, its still a waste of time.Zhang: I totally agree. This class has nothing to do

45、 with our major and useless in our daily life. I just wonder the reason our school arrange so many useless curriculums.Wang: As to curriculums arrangement, I agree with you. I think we should not be required to attend classes. Going to classes should be optional thing for students.Gao: To some exten

46、t, you are right. Although most of the curriculums seem useless for the moment, it is very useful in the future, especially when we are working. Besides, if we make going to classes optional to everyone, some students will not go to school at all, just like Tian.Tian: Dont talk about me, I know I am

47、 lazy.Wang: Maybe we can set some limitations, such as scores and ranking.G ao: It may works. But it can hurt some students selfesteem. So it has two sides. Since we can not change the current situation, what we can do is to adapt to it.Tang: I know it is useful. But the teachers teaching method is

48、terrible. Although we listen very carefully, we can not understand. The teacher just cant explain clearly.Zhang: I totally agree. Its the teachers fault. You should understand us.Gao: Maybe we can talk to the teacher and give him some advice. You know, professors are always modest and easygoing. But
