A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a stude

16、nt will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a long period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and

17、 another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show prospective employers.

18、, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.

24、e students' enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage 2 There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teac

25、h it, or how much priority (優(yōu)先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling? If spelling become the only focal point of
