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.

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 (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability.
