What can teachers do to make students more enthusiastic about attending calsses? Use specific details and examples to support your answer?
The issue of what teachers can do to make students more enthusiastic about attending classes deserves careful sonsideration because it is such a complex one. Some people think teachers should try to use multimedia, like computers and television, in their classrooms while other people say that teachers should try to be friendlier. I think both of these are important ways to make students more enthusiastic.
The first way to make students more enthusiastic is to use multimedia. For example, I had a teacher in a biology calss. This teacher used many videotapes and computer programs to interest students. At first I thought biology ws only difficult and boring. The multimedia, however, made it exciting. It was my favorite class that semester.
The second way is to be friendly. Sometimes teachers are too strict. They are not like people but robots. I think teachers should be friendly to students. Communication might be easier and students might enjoy attending calss more. For exampl, my English teacher is very friendly and makes me feel comfortable about learning English.
Of course, there is also an argument to be made for other answers as well. I'm sure there are many things that I have failed to mention. Nevertheless, for the reasons that I have presented above, I believe that my opinion is the most valid.

In my opinion, her life has been very successful.
