Some students think her choice is wise, because they think the tour takes up too much time and energy causing her not to study heart and soul. Besides, it is clear that it is no good to her future development. On the other hand, the others think it is unwise for her to quit the tour, they think that the performances offer a wonderful stage for her to show her singing talents in public. Taking part in the tour can also make her gain more musical experience, which will contribute a lot to her future musical career, and, she should not let her fans disappointed. In my opinion, I think that if I were her, I would choose to quit the tour. Anyway, learning at school is more important to one's life experience. (责任编辑:admin) |
