Online classes offer a solution to ensuring students’ academic progress. They protect us with the risk of infection and broke the space limitation. Therefore, the negative aspects are also apparent. Lack face-to-face communication, students poor at self-discipline are easy to be absent-minded than before. Besides, being exposed to the Internet environment have a bad effect on students health. To cope with the problems, I set a schedule that I strictly stick to it. When in class, I concentrate on what teachers say and think actively in order not fall behind. During class breaks, I do indoor exercise and help with houseworks to keep fit.
