Dear Daniel:
As a student, I show great respect for teacher’s grading and don’t want to change anything but just ask for a word.
Last semester, in total, I quit 2 class and sleep once and 4 times 5 mins late and never summitted the homework late.
The first day this semester, I’ve asked some of my classmates. The first is the one who took oral test with me, he got 3.3. I obviously performed better than him in the oral test, and after we checked the answer of the final exam, we shared quite similar answers. So we may not have great difference in the test scores. So the only distance occurred in my attendance. But as far as I know, attendance only occupy 20% of the study. In another case, another person who shared the same experience with me, which means that he also had 1 time off class and he got 3.7.
I don’t mean something else, I know my strength in English, and I know my attitude may hurt you. Actually, it’s an ideology shock caused by cultural difference. I don’t put punctuation as top priority. I know, every teacher favors students with good attitudes. But I may point out that those attitudes may be pseudo-good attitude. I’ve got bored of seeing people pretend to listen to you and playing games on their screen, and even the top girls had done while I was sleepy cuz my lack of sleep to tackle the study burden. I think I get this low score is just because my "outstanding" figures in your eyes.
Actually, this semester, I can apply the “no need to study “ policy because my TOEFL score has reached 95. But I didn’t do that, because I’m still seeking the better score, and in search of a method to practice my speaking and writing. (P.S. I didn’t realize that the teacher is still you) So let’s get rid of the preconceived ideas and witness my progress.
yours, sincerely.
Victor Yang
