70、rning methods. Li Ming listens to his teachers attentively, tries to catch everything that the teachers say in class and consults his teachers as often as possible if he has some problems. Because of this, he spends less time doing her homework. Therefore it is certain that he can go to bed earlier
71、and he always keeps energetic in the day.However, Wang Hai has quite a different way of learning. He likes staying up late at night doing his homework, so he often feels sleepy in class. As a result, he misses lots of key points and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework, which makes it difficult for him to concentrate on what he is doing.In my opinion, Li Ming learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy himself, so I prefer his learning method.
