Dear Mr. Zhang,
We have held a discussion about whether it is good for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.
Some top students are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although slower students are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other and develop a friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons.
However, others don’t hold the same view. They think some slower students usually have certain bad habits like talking and sleeping in class, which may distract them. Besides, slower students may often ask them questions, which will waste their time.
In my opinion, I’d like to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.
Yours,
Li Hua
