Writing exercise

I was naughty in my teenager, my dad would punish me if I did something wrong. I remember that I was playing computer games while my dad came back home, he found out I hadn’t finished my homework yet and my room was totally messy which made him angry, so he turned off the screen and hit me on the hand and butt. I had to finish my homework and tidy my room immediately, otherwise I couldn’t play video games on that weekend.

Speaking exercise

I prefer studying in big class because i can make friends in class and we can help each other which is very helpful and effective for doing homework or discuss some question. Our class in my high school had about 30 student in there. I think it’s not a small class but not big either. I think boys and girls are studying together is better. A good teacher i thought is very kind and patient. They should have knowledgable because children will always ask some strange question, so teacher need to tell them and solve their confusing. Teaching adults, patience and they have a lot experience to explain some question to their student.
