[00:00.00]CHAPTER FIVE [00:-1.00]Reading page 77 [00:-2.00]CHATBACK ON:TUTORIAL CENTRES [00:-3.00]Have you ever been to a tutorial centre? [00:-4.00]Do you think tutorial centres can help students? [00:-5.00]Write and tell us about your experiences and opinions. [00:-6.00]Send your letters to'Chatback'at the City Mirror. [00:-7.00]1.Helpful [00:-8.00]I have studied at a tutorial centre for two years. [00:-9.00]My command of English has improved considerably since I started this course. [00:10.00]At my centre the fees are reasonable. [00:11.00]My tutors are all qualified teachers. [00:12.00]I have been helped a lot by them. [00:13.00]They are sincere and kind. [00:14.00]One of my teachers was British. [00:15.00]At first I could not say anything to her. [00:16.00]But later I learned how to communicate in English with a westerner. [00:17.00]I think that the tutorial centre has given me a lot of confidence in using English [00:18.00]MANDY LUO [00:19.00]2.Waste of money [00:20.00]I have studied at a tutorial centre for one year. [00:21.00]However,I consider that I have been cheated. [00:22.00]These tutorial centres are only interested in making money. [00:23.00]The fees range from 70 yuan to 80 yuan an hour or even 100 yuan an hour. [00:24.00]The owners of the centres want to make a lot of money, [00:25.00]and so they accept many students for each class. [00:26.00]In my class,there were 54 students when the course started. [00:27.00]However,they don't want to pay for good teachers. [00:28.00]My English was a university student. [00:29.00]His major subject was physics,not English! [00:30.00]Very often,he could not answer our questions about the use of the language. [00:31.00]In my opinion,it is better to spend more time on your school work [00:32.00]than to waste money at a tutorial 'money-making' centre. [00:33.00]REX YANG [00:34.00]3.I go to sleep [00:35.00]I have been attending a tutorial centre for two months. [00:36.00]I have been forced to attend by my parents. [00:37.00]But I do not think it is useful for me. [00:38.00]I am always very tired after school. [00:39.00]Sometimes I even sleep during the classes in the evening. [00:40.00]Furthermore,the teachers are very boring. [00:41.00]They give us a lot of supplementary exercises but they teach us nothing. [00:42.00]I usually read comics. [00:43.00]Sometimes I go to a video arcade to play TV games instead. [00:44.00]Therefore,I think tutorial centres are useless. [00:45.00]SIMON LAN [00:46.00]4.Good and bad [00:47.00]I have experienced both good and bad tutorial centres. [00:48.00]In my first centre, I was in a very big class. [00:49.00]My teacher was an Australian. [00:50.00]He just talked about his life and his travels. [00:51.00]I could learn nothing from him. [00:52.00]I left within a month. [00:53.00]Then I asked all my friends for their advice. [00:54.00]As a result,their recommendations,I enrolled in classes at another centre. [00:55.00]In this centre the teachers are excellent [00:56.00]and there are only 12 students in a class. [00:57.00]We have been taught many good techniques for developing language skills [00:58.00]and passing our exams. [00:59.00]There are good and bad tutorial centres, [-1:00.00]and you must do some detective work before you enrol. [-1:-1.00]Finally,the most important thing is [-1:-2.00]whether you are willing to learn and to work hard. [-1:-3.00]The key factor is yourself. [-1:-4.00]GRACE LI [-1:-5.00]LISTENING Skills page 81 [-1:-6.00]Understanding directions [-1:-7.00]Exercise A [-1:-8.00]Locations on a map [-1:-9.00]Where are these places on the map?

[-3:00.00]Listening [-3:-1.00]Page 91 [-3:-2.00]Listen and supply the missing words. [-3:-3.00]I very much like studying at Neverfail Centre. [-3:-4.00]The teachers are very hard working. [-3:-5.00]Everyone in the class enjoys the lessons. [-3:-6.00]Neverfail Centre is located in a pleasant part of the city, [-3:-7.00]and it is very convenient to get to. [-3:-8.00]Since it is located on the first floor of an industrial building , [-3:-9.00]it is sometimes a little noisy in class, [-3:10.00]but this never distracts us from our studies. [-3:11.00]The Centre has excellent facilities and the fees are reasonable. [-3:12.00]I find that I am learning a lot, [-3:13.00]and so I am really pleased that I decided to study at the Centre. [-3:14.00]I would definitely recommend Neverfail Centre to all of my friends. [-3:15.00]Tutorial centres are now becoming popular in our city. [-3:16.00]Many people think that they are helping to educate our young people. [-3:17.00]In my opinion,however they are doing a lot of harm. [-3:18.00]There are three reasons why I object to tutorial centres. [-3:19.00]First,some students spend over ten hours a day in school and tutorial centres [-3:20.00]It is not healthy for them. [-3:21.00]Second,children cannot develop other interests if they are studying all day [-3:22.00]Third,the staff in some centres are not competent. [-3:23.00]Therefore,it is time to introduce proper regulations to control these centres
