Rice同学的课程学习报告

以下内容是按课堂已讲方向整理的课后复习改进版，保留本节课的主题、观点和老师课堂中示范过的表达。

Part 1 - Science

Yes, I like science. I think science is a fantastic subject. When I study science, I can learn many useful things and have many exciting experiences. My favorite science subject is Earth Science because I am a geography fan. Learning knowledge about geography is a relaxing process, and Earth Science is part of geography, so I really like it.

Part 1 - Reading

Actually, I am not very interested in reading because I find reading books boring. But I read in different ways in different situations. When I do a reading test, I need to read quickly because I only have limited time to finish all the questions. However, when I read for myself, I read more carefully because I have a lot of time.

Part 1 - Food

My favorite food is spaghetti, and I eat it almost every weekend. My favorite food has changed since childhood. When I was a child, I liked eating sweet food, such as candies and cake. But now I have a healthier lifestyle, so I hardly ever eat sweet food.

Part 1 - Parks

Yes, I liked going to the park when I was a child because I had many friends there, and I could play with them every afternoon. But I do not think my city needs too many new parks. Nowadays, fewer people go to parks to relax, so if we build too many parks, a lot of land may be wasted.

Part 2 - Describe a boring place

This is a really tough question because I haven't been to many boring places. I think most places I have been to are quite interesting, but today I want to talk about my high school, which is quite boring. It is called Weekham International School, and it is located in Hangzhou. It is far away from the city centre. It takes about forty-five minutes to get to the city centre, so we hardly ever go there. If we want to watch a movie or find a fun place, we have to spend a long time on the bus, which is very inconvenient. It is also a boarding school, so I stay there from Monday to Friday and spend most of my time on campus. The campus itself is quite small. For example, the library is small and the playground is small. The facilities are quite old, and there is no swimming pool or gym, so we cannot do many interesting sports at school. Also, most of the teachers are quite boring, except my geography teacher. To be honest, I sometimes fall asleep in some classes. However, it is not all bad. I have made many friends there, and I understand that a school is not an amusement park, a park, or a shopping mall. It is a place where we learn and study, so it is supposed to be quiet.

Part 3 - Why are some classes boring?

I think there are two main reasons. First, some teachers do not have enough passion in teaching. They just see teaching as a job, so they do not put much time and energy into preparing their classes. Some teachers make everything fun. They use interesting slides and sound energetic in class. However, other teachers just read from a book, and that can be boring. Second, children sometimes have too much to learn, and many things are too difficult. In China, children may take seven to eight hours of classes every day. When they cannot understand what they are learning, they get bored.

Part 3 - What can people do when they feel bored?

People do different things when they get bored. Some people like doing sports. When I am bored, I go outside to find my friends and play soccer, basketball, or tennis. Other people may not like doing sports. They might read books or just sleep all day.

Part 3 - How can boring classes be improved?

I think schools can do several things. First, they should not force teachers to teach too many students because when teachers get tired, they lose interest and motivation. Second, schools can pay teachers more. More money can make teachers happier and more energetic. Finally, schools can give teachers more training and teach them how to make interesting presentations.

Part 3 - Long-term goal

My long-term goal is to become a geologist. I first learned geography when I was seven years old in primary school. I met a great teacher named Mr. John, and I fell in love with geography. After that, becoming a great geologist became my dream. I study geography in many different ways, such as taking classes, reading geography magazines, and watching online videos about geography. This summer holiday, I am going on a field trip with my geography teacher. I think I will learn a lot of new knowledge about geography there.

Part 3 - Goals and ambition

I think children should have goals because goals help them keep working toward something. There are many interesting things in the world, but if we want to be good at something, we need to spend a lot of time on it. So we should have one goal and put our time and energy into one subject. Then we may become an expert in that field. Ambition can be good because it gives people direction, but it can also make life stressful. If people cannot achieve their goals, they may feel disappointed. In teamwork, ambition can also be useful. If a person has ambition and enough ability, he or she can become the leader of the team, and the productivity of the group may increase. On the other hand, a person without much ambition can still be a great team player if they finish the work given to them and deliver everything on time.
