Hi Professor Anderson,
The idea of a virtual class is great! I like it very much, and I think other students will like it too
I love the idea because it is really convenient We can meet online anytime to discuss things related to our study We can also ask for help from our friends without having to travel far When we post a problem online, we will receive a lot of comments and solutions from different students Based on these, we can work out the best solution
I hope this idea will be applied quickly
Hope to see you soon!
