There is a big change in Emma's classroom.The desks are no longer in rows，but pushed together to make eight bigger desks.Let us listen to what students and teachers think of it.
   Emma：I was so excited about it for the first two days that I couldn't listen to the teachers carefully.But soon my classmates and I got used to this new classroom arrangement（安排）.Now our class is quieter.What's more，we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion.It's a better way to study.
   David：I like it，too.Group members first discuss，and then show to the whole class.It encourages us greatly.
   Linda，an English teacher：This is part of a reform（改革） in our school.The school made this reform because we want to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss.Our school hopes to improve students' abilities to study by themselves and work in examples.
   Steven，the school master：The reform has demanded（要求） more from teachers.Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 40 minutes before.It is difficult to teach in such a short time.The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively（有效地）.The reform demands more，but I'm sure it is helpful.
