Four students were invited to an interview by the local English newspaper to share their opinions on after-class activities. The following is what they said in the interview. |
Mary: In our school, after-class activities are very popular. Students in our school enjoy many different kinds of after-class activities, such as the English corner, swimming, playing the piano and singing. I take part in the chess club. I play with other club members after class every day. |
Erin: I'm a member of the music club in our school. I can learn different kinds of music instruments, including the violin, the piano, the guitar and so on. I like playing the piano best. It's very interesting. |
John: I take part in the poem club after class. I have learned a lot from the activities which are held by the club. I can not only improve my skills of poem writing, but also make a lot of new friends who have the same hobbies. |
Peter: Some teachers think after-class activities take up too much time. In their opinions, we are already under great pressure with so much homework to do. But I think it's necessary for schools to provide us with a chance to develop our other skills besides what we are taught in class. What's more, after-class activities help us relax. |
