More and more middle school students are taking all kinds of private classes at the weekend. There are two different viewpoi

62、nts about it. Some think it necessary. First of all, its more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class.

But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise, it would be a waste of time and money.
