I believe that large classes may be appropriate in some situations. First, in some places, there may be many students who want to study. To make sure that every student gets a chance to learn, a large class may be necessary. Second, for some kinds
of courses, large classes may be appropriate. For example, if students need to do a lot
group projects, a large class may be ideal. This is because there will be many students available to help work on the projects.

M: Hey, Jenny. How was your trip to the new zoo？
F: Hi， Mike. It was great. We saw a white tiger-it was so pretty. I’m thinking of starting a club about saving white tigers.
M: Uh… the white tiger isn’t an endangered species, you know.
F: What do you mean? I heard there are very few of them left in the world.
M: Well, what I mean is that tigers are endangered, but white gigers are actually just regular tigers that have a genetic condition---you know,
a mistake in the genes—which makes them white.
F: I see. But that doesn’t mean we can’t save white tigers. I read about some places where they’re try ing to breed more of them.
I already sent an email to one of them asking how we could help.
M: Why did you do that? White tigers have many health problems and they die early. We shouldn’t breed more of them. You know, some zoos and
circuses just want to make money from showing these poor animals.
F: Oh. Wow…. How do you know all that? So how do we help white tigers then?
M: The first thing is to educate people about them. We could put up flyers around school.
F: Good idea.

Dear Mayor,
I’m a resident of the city.I feel there are many taxi problems in our city.
First of all, there are still not enou gh stops in the streets so it’s not easy to take a taxi. Second, taxis often run very fast, which causes many traffic accidents. Also, some taxi drivers still refuse to pick up some passengers without any reason. What’s more, some taxi drivers are not clea r about the city and often get wrong way. Even worse, some drivers cheat passengers by taking a roundabout route. Once, a friend of mine came to visit me. It should be 15 minutes to get my home but it turned out it took her 50 minutes to get my home without any traffic.
I think we must take actions to tighten control over the taxi trade. Maybe the first thing to do is raise the taxi drivers’ professional morality. Then the government need to manage it and improve it.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua。
