Dear Editor,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am writing to voice my views towards the phenomenon that many students join tutorial centers in our city.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As we all know, the HKDSE is extremely crucial to secondary students because their results can determine their future.\u00a0 With good grades, they can win a ticket to university and a job with handsome salary.\u00a0 Some students are so worried about if they can ace the exam, so many of them flock to different tutorial centers in order to get as much preparation as they can.\u00a0 While the trend grows, some people lament the phenomenon for sever reasons.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are people claiming that the trend gives a blow to the education sector.\u00a0 They think that some students will pay no attention in class as they can also learn in the tutorial courses.\u00a0 They may solely depend on the star tutors and show no respect to the teachers in school, which is so frustrating. Some worry that students will get pressurized by joining too many tutorial classes.\u00a0 Their mental health can be adversely affected. Having the hectic schedules, many students may even find it hard to concentrate in school with a lack of rest.\u00a0 Their grades may drop and this certainly contradicts the purpose of going to the tutorials.\u00a0 However, I do not think that attending tutorial classes should be discouraged.\u00a0 It should be up to the teenagers, according to their needs in tackling the public exam.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First, tutors and teachers are complementary to each other. Why tutorial centers are getting so popular is that they provide students with practical exam skills and exam-oriented exercises.\u00a0 Students can obtain useful techniques for the challenging exam from tutorials. It, however, does not mean that schools are useless. Schools provide a place for students to get immersed in the academic ambience at a preliminary stage.\u00a0 Students can find their interested subjects and get prepared for university or even their future career.\u00a0 Actually teachers in schools can drill the students for exam too. Tutorials can yet help students reinforce and consolidate the knowledge they have obtained if they are not confident enough.\u00a0 As they have different functions, both can be beneficial to students\u2019 learning.\u00a0 Teachers can also incorporate more interactive activities in class so that students would enjoy learning at school more, and therefore, they will not be replaced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In fact, tutorials are not the culprit of the pressure inflicted on students. Some students joining excessive tutorials reveals that they are anxious about their academic results.\u00a0 They might find other ways to prepare themselves better like doing many supplementary exercises, even without the help from tutors. People should not point the finger of blame solely to the tutors, but understand that the pressure could be from the students themselves and their parents.\u00a0 Joining one class or two is definitely appropriate as the students can still have enough time for doing homework and sleeping.\u00a0 What really matters is how to use tutorials.\u00a0 Both parents and their children should understand that an appropriate timetable and optimistic mindset are the keys to getting \u2018stars\u2019 in the exam.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To conclude, tutorials can be a helping hand offered to students to deal with the public exam if they have a proper attitude.\u00a0 We should be open-minded, but not drawing a sweeping conclusion that the trend will simply cause a blow to the education sector and students\u2019 growth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yours faithfully,<\/p>\n
