However,WangYinghasquiteadifferentwayoflearning.Shelistensattentivelyandtriestocatcheverythingthattheteachersaysinclass.Becauseofthis,shespendslesstimedoingherhomework,whichmakesitpossibleforhertogotobedearly.
Inmyopinion,WangYinglearnsmoreeffectivelyinclassandhasmorefreetimetoenjoyherself,soIpreferherlearningmethod.
