    Research shows that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality.

People often consider that students who sit at the back are lazy. But some researchers say it is not true. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they don't want to answer questions. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.

Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in the class. However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually very good at taking notes and interested in learning. So they get good grades in school.

Do you sit in the middle of the classroom？Then the statistics(统计数据)show that you probably like your teacher. You may also have a good relationship with your classmates. These people are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.

You probably sit right at the front of the class if you're longing for knowledge. Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject.

They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem of sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in  classSoif__you__really__want__to__hear__what__everyone__says__in__class,__please__choosea__different__place__to__sit.
