壹蘋派生活美語　補習優缺點

　　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.

　　在臺灣，學生在正常上課時間外去補習班是很常見的。補習班可以為學生提供額外的學習機會並幫助他們更好地理解某些科目。許多補習班也著重在考試的準備上，旨在幫助學生獲得更高的分數。然而，參加補習班讓學生承受更多的壓力，這使得其中一些人更不願意學習。例如，我的一個朋友曾經在數學上遇到困難。儘管她在學校付出了很多努力學習，但她發現她很難跟上別人。
