Recently I’ve had a discussion with my parents about whether I should join the second class or not. My parents think there will be less time for me to study if I join it. Also I might make a lot of friends during these activities and it will be bad for my grades. So they hope I will spend more time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.
However, I don’t really agree with them. I know my parents care about me. Joining the second class is my favorite. In fact, these classes are good for my future. More importantly, I can learn something new and become more confident. I believe I"ll try my best to balance my studies and activities.
