After class, we first bought her some fresh fruits and beautiful flowers, and then went to her dormitory. When we opened the door, we found her asleep, so we just sat around her silently.

对此谈谈你的想法。
你的文章必须包括以下内容：●学校开了各种各样的选修课●学生出于各种原因选择不同的选修课●你的选择及原因There are many optional courses for students to choose from at my school, ranging from art to zoology. For instance, I took a course on the harmonica this semester.I think the elective courses give me a feeling that I can’t get from compulsory courses. For ex ample, when I’m bored with doing my homework, I take out the harmonica and play for a while, and immediately all my uncomfortable feelings will go away.One of my roommates chose to take French as an elective. She believes that this course will prove useful to her future overseas learning. After all, a good command of French can give her an advantage. But she is more practical than I am, and I’d say that the majority of students choose their electives out of personal interests.There’s no denying that elect ive courses can broaden our horizons.
