Answer 1

（ 1 ）

       I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only．As we all know, a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well．Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment．When English is the only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunities listening and speaking．Therefore, they will be able to learn more quickly．

       However, there are some problems with this teaching method．As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher．Slow learners may even lose interest in English．

       Practice makes perfect．To learn English well requires a lot of practice．Therefore, I like my English classes to be taught completely in English．

       I prefer my English classes to be taught in both Chinese and English．In my opinion, learning English is a step-by-step process．As middle school students, we only have a small vocabulary．If the teacher can use some Chinese in an English class, we will understand the lesson better．

       Of course, an English class taught in two languages has its shortcomings．Such a class cannot create a good atmosphere for English learning．Some students will speak Chinese all the time and cannot learn English well．

       If you want to learn a lesson well, you have to understand it first．To help students understand the lesson better, the teacher should use Chinese from time to time．Therefore, I like my teacher to use both English and Chinese in teaching．
