Look at this picture. You will understand better “Too much work makes Jack a dull boy”. He has to go to so many training classes besides his school classes. Life is no fun at all for him. Holidays and weekends have become dull work-days. He is too tired to learn these lessons well with no interest.
In my opinion, spare-time training courses are a waste of time for many students. They might do better when they show interest in what they are learning. Please don’t force these students to do what they are not willing to, and when learning is fun, surely they will do better than we expect!

We Want Our Schoolbags Lighter
The picture shows that a girl is wearing a pair of glasses and
carrying a big heavy schoolbag, and a woman is doing some exercise.
The girl says to the woman, “If you carry the schoolbag for me, I’m sure
you will lose some weight.”
As is well-known, we Chinese students are overburdened with lessons and homework which our teachers have given us. All that we do every day is to listen to our teachers’lessons, to take notes and do our homework which seems endless.
