壹苹派生活美语　补习优缺点

　　In Taiwan, it is common for students to go to cram schools outside regular school hours. Cram schools can provide students with additional learning opportunities and help them understand certain subjects better. Many cram schools also focus on exam preparation and aim to help students get higher scores. However, attending cram schools puts students under more pressure, which makes some of them less willing to study. For instance, a friend of mine used to struggle with math. Although she put a lot of effort into learning at school, she found it difficult to keep up with others.

　　在台湾，学生在正常上课时间外去补习班是很常见的。补习班可以为学生提供额外的学习机会并帮助他们更好地理解某些科目。许多补习班也著重在考试的准备上，旨在帮助学生获得更高的分数。然而，参加补习班让学生承受更多的压力，这使得其中一些人更不愿意学习。例如，我的一个朋友曾经在数学上遇到困难。尽管她在学校付出了很多努力学习，但她发现她很难跟上别人。
