It becomes popular in class and has many good sides. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor. I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teacher asked us to discuss questions with each other. Because I was very shy (腼腆的), I could not do it like what he told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else. Then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some suggestions and I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. Finally, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was! Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics learning any more. With my classmates’ help, I get more confidence (自信). It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways.

He wrote, “Dear Maddy, thank you for the cookies and milk. As for your dad stopping smoking, that is something he has to do for himself.” I felt a bit sad that Santa couldn’t help my dad.

At first, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen’s hands with her fingers (手指) again and again. Helen was a very hard-working girl. She tried her best to remember words.

He tried to get a job as a government official (官员), but he failed. When he arrived home, his family looked down on him and didn’t want to speak to him. His sister-in-law (嫂子) treated him worst and even refused to offer any food to him. Su Qin felt very sad, but he didn’t give up on himself. He studied hard every day, and finally came up with the “Zong-heng principle (纵横之术)”. Later on, Su Qin traveled to many states and explained his idea to the kings. He told them that small states should unite together to fight against the strong state, Qin. Luckily, his idea was accepted by two states, Yan and Zhao. Then the kings of the two states asked him to persuade other states to use this idea. In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime minister (丞相) of them. One day, Su Qin passed by his hometown. His parents, brother, wife and sister-in-law came out to welcome him. When he saw his sister-in-law, he laughed.

However, there are also many bad sides. First, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being stars, so they spend less time on their studies. Second, some young people just imitate (模仿) their favorite stars. They may forget their own styles (风格). I think these shows are social (社会的) activities.
