Topic:
Some people learn best when a classroom lesson is presented in an entertaining, enjoyable way. Other people learn best when a lesson is presented in a serious, formal way. Which of these two ways of learning do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer.

Sample:
Attending lectures is very essential for students whose ability of independent study is not fully established. Consequently their progress is often based on the process of classroom importation. The two different kinds of style, respectively speaking, the serious way and the entertaining way, assume to produce different results, which can sharply be discerned by comparing the two different educational systems of the Europe and of the USA. Personally I vote for the latter, even though I have been taught in the former system from the very beginning of my education.

The disadvantage of the serious way of learning is found mainly in that students frequently fail to participate in the class actively. The teacher dominated the 45-minute period and the students are refrained from airing their opinions no matter whether they agree or disagree with what the teacher says. In this case, standing up and ringing one’s view forward and therefore breaking the quiet atmosphere require a great deal of courage and, sometimes, along time premeditation. Even though he does stand up, all these will significantly weaken the effect, and for good reason: the extreme constraint prevents him from expressing his opinion. Furthermore, students are expected to learn only what the teacher tells them. They have little chance to take advantage of others’ ideas.

Such defects as mentioned above can be prevented by the other way of classroom learning. The class organized in an enjoyable atmosphere usually proved students more than what they have expected. A joke may inspire students’ interest and enthusiasm and then what they learn give them a deeper impression. A drastic debate among students will prompt them to learn from the others. In this kind of class they often find out that they have motivated by the pleasure of study. I have an American teacher in whose class I have gained so much. He differs from the image of teacher in my mind enormously in many aspects. What impressed me most is his humor. His satiric remarks are invariably infectious. For the first time I found the history is not at all boring. In laughter, not only do I learn the knowledge in books but I also gain some spiritual things brought about by his characteristics and personality.

A light heart is always helpful.
