A very constructive way to punish
There are many ways to punish students but the method my English teacher, Ms Chao, uses is the most constructive. Other teachers punish us by asking us to copy out text but Ms Chao gets us to write compositions.
Every time we forget to take our textbooks to class, she gives us a choice.
We can either get a written warning in our handbook or write a composition. Nearly all of us choose the composition. Why? Because it's for own good.
It's good because it helps improve our English. We learn to organise our ideas and sentences. We also practise using the phrases and vocabulary we have learned in class. In fact, we learn more vocabulary because we look for new ways of expressing ourselves.
I think other teachers should follow suit. Although we are being punished, most students are willing to be punished in this way. We hate written warnings and we feel better when we can do something to make up for our mistakes.
Some students do not know what to write in this free composition. You can write about something that happened to you recently or what you think and feel about different things in your life. It is also a way of letting your teachers know more about you.
