Reading Books

Nowadays fewer and fewer people like reading books. This tendency is rather disturbing, for one should know that books are no less necessary to one’s mental life than fresh air is to one’s physical life.

In fact, we can get many benefits from reading good books. First of all, a good book is our faithful friend. It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy, and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely. Besides, books can also offer us a wide range of experiences. For instance, few of us can travel far from home or live long over one hundred, but all of us can live many lives through the pages of books. Last but not least, reading books can increase our intellectual ability, broaden our minds and make us wise. In conclusion, though with the advent of TV, books are no longer read as widely as they once were, nothing can replace the role that books play in our lives. Therefore, we should read more books than what we have done in the past. (179 words)

1. 简述社会上大学生忙于报考各种证书的现象;

Certificate Mania

In the face of the mounting pressure nowadays, many university

students take various training courses and sit certificate exams, in order to gain a competitive edge on the job market. They usually spend weekends or vacations in training camps, polishing up on their current skills or acquiring a new one.

A chain of reasons lead to this certificate mania. At the heart of the

phenomenon, there is an increasing number of university graduates while that of job vacancies does not grow in proportion to it. As a result, employers

have bountiful options and would like to recruit the ones with more related experience and skills. Since exams and certificates in some way reflect one’s mastery of certain skills, many students would like to give them a try.

To be sure, it is a good thing to be spurred on to learn new things. However, “certificate mania” goes to extremes. It is not only misleading but also places a great burden on students. In my opinion, a certificate does not necessarily reflect one’s ability that really counts, and so we had better keep a skeptical eye on this mania and prevent vain and burdensome efforts. (194 words)

考证热

如今,面对日益增加的压力,许多大学学子们为了在人才市场上占

得竞争优势纷纷参加了各种培训课程和证件考试。他们通常会花几个周末 或假期的时间加入培训大军, 磨练自己当前的技能, 或者学习一项新技能。 这种考证热潮是由一系列原因所导致的。该现象的关键在于,大学

毕业生人数不断增加,而工作职位并没有相应地增加。因此,老板们拥 有大量的选择,而他们更愿意接收那些相关经验更丰富、技术更好的员 工。既然考试和证书在一定程度上能反映出一个人对某项技术的掌握, 那么许多学生都会愿意尝试一下。

6

这无疑是一件激励自己学习新事物的好事。然而,“考证热”正走

向极端。 这不仅仅误导了学生, 而且也让他们背上了沉重的包袱。 我认为, 一纸证书并不一定反映出一个人真正的水平,因此,我们应用怀疑的眼 光来审视这种热潮,避免徒劳无功。

participants has kept increasing from 1992 to 2007 in X city. In 1992 there were only 20 thousand people taking part in the continuing education, but

in 1995 the number grew to 60 thousand, and in 2000 140, and by 2007,

the number has reached 210 thousand. It can be seen easily that continuing education is gaining more and more popularity.

The following reasons are responsible for this boom in continuing

education. Firstly, during the work many people begin to realize what they have learned in schools is far from enough. So they turn to continuing

education to gain more knowledge and skills. Secondly, as the science and technology in China are developing very fast, adults after graduation have

to refresh themselves. Last but not least, in modern society, those without

bachelor’s degrees or above are less competitive.

As far as I am concerned, the boom in continuing education is a

necessity. It provides those on-the-job people with chances to get advanced degrees and gain more knowledge. In brief, as our society develops, more

and more people will receive continuing education in the future. (195 words)

继续教育的蓬勃发展

开始意识到自己在学校里学到的远远不够。因此,他们开始寻求继续教

育, 籍此获得更多知识和技能。 其次, 随着科学技术在神州大地迅猛发展, 人们在走出校园后也必须重新充电。最后但却很重要的一点是,在当今 社会,那些不具有学士及学士以上学位的人的竞争力也更弱。

我认为,继续教育的蓬勃发展是十分必要的。它为那些在岗职工提

供了攻读更高学位、获取更多知识的机会。简而言之,随着我们社会的 发展,将来越来越多的人将接受继续教育。

【经典范文】

The Pros and Cons of Dormitory Life

Dormitory life is a new experience for some university students who have never lived far away from their parents before. There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students must begin to be responsible for their own behavior. For example, they must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on time for class and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and relaxation.

Some people believe there are more advantages about dormitory life. In a dormitory, on the one hand, students have more chances to communicate with and learn from each other. On the other hand, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their

10

own will rather than to that of parents’. But some others disagree. They think dormitory rooms are often small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one’s privacy and make it difficult for students to be engaged in their studies. In general, there are both sunshine and shadow about life in student

dormitory. Whether they like it or not, most students have to face the reality of living with others. (193 words)

宿舍生活的利弊

宿舍生活对于那些从未远离父母的大学生而言, 是一种全新的体验。 家庭生活和宿舍生活具有明显的差异。学生们必须开始对自己的行为负 责。例如,他们必须自觉地按时早起去上课,还需合理安排学习与放松 的时间。

有些人认为宿舍生活利大于弊。一方面,在宿舍里学生们有更多的 机会去相互沟通、相互学习,另一方面,相对于在家中,他们则拥有更 多的自由。他们可以按照自己的意愿,而不是一味地遵从父母的意愿。 而一些人则持相反观点。他们认为寝室通常窄小而拥挤。这种空间上的 不足会限制学生的隐私,使学生们难以全身心地投入学习中。 一般来说,宿舍生活既有积极的一面也有消极的一面。不管他们喜 欢与否,大部分的学生必须面对与他人共同生活的现实。

Studying in Colleges or Through Internet?

When it comes to the choice between studying in traditional colleges

and self-studying through Internet, different people hold different views. Some argue that they can learn better in colleges, while others believe that there are more advantages to studying through Internet.

In the eyes of the first group of people, studying in colleges is beneficial to their study for the following reasons. In the first place, they feel more at home in colleges, because to them, it’s a more “natural” way of study. In the second place, they can communicate with the teachers and schoolmates easily, which will help them to develop their interpersonal skills.

In comparison, those who argue for self-study have their arguments as

follows. On one hand, they can save a lot of time of going to and from school. On the other hand, they can listen to the lectures of all the best teachers available on the Internet. Therefore, they have a wide range of choices of teachers and lessons.

As discussed above, it is obvious that each side has its distinctive

features. I think the best choice is to use the Internet as often as possible while staying on campus. (195 words)

【经典范文】

Book Knowledge and Experience

Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include reading books, classroom activities and practice, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to

learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in our daily life. First of all, we can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. Second, we can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Last but not least, we can shuttle between the past and the future by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others.

Practice, on the other hand, offers us more useful knowledge. In fact, as we all know failure is the mother of success. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations and inspiration do not only come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. (197 words)

另一方面,实践也为我们提供了更有用的知识。事实上,众所周知,

失败乃成功之母。 此外, 如果一个人想要取得新的进步, 就必须采取行动。 创新与灵感不仅仅来自阅读,还可以通过试验获得。最后,人们能够将 书本中学到的技能与洞察力运用到实践经验中,将原本有意义的经历变 得更有意义。

Every year, millions of college students attend the post-graduate entrance

First, it is the demand of the society. In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion, what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of society. Talents of high quality who are equipped

with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more. That is why many students will further their studies. Second, we all recognize that the more education you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Compared with those without a master degree, masters will enjoy more preferential treatment, for example, better salaries, more opportunities for promotion and training.

A post-graduate degree can guarantee a more promising career. Last but not least, with the graduation of a large number of college students, competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce.

In conclusion, one way to gain some advantages over others in our society is to have a higher degree. No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree. (199 words)

Third, with the development the science and technology, what has been learned at college is not enough to meet the need of the society. On the other hand, there are some possible consequences of this. For one thing, most people will be forced to pay more attention to the examination than to the improvement of their true ability.

Those people who agree with studying abroad believe that diverse culture backgrounds can broaden students’ horizon. They also claim that overseas study can shape students’ personality because they are forced to deal with all kinds of difficulties by themselves. Nevertheless, the other people who agree with domestic education argue that our educational programs have been greatly improved during the past decades. They also point out that domestic education is convenient and economical.

How to Prevent Cheating

Nowadays, people pay more attention to the children’s education. With

this great care, the students, especially the undergraduates, cheat in the exams, even in the undergraduate thesis. Thus, the loss of good faith results in a

great many problems in our society.

First of all, cheating will lead to an unfair competition, which will prevent the students from studying hard. They will think that the grades are gained so easily that they need not spending much time in learning. Second, cheating will endanger the students in the long run, for without learning students will

learn little things in the college and they are not able to meet the need of the society after they take up a job. Last but not least, cheating will pose a great threat to our society, because it is a kind of loss of good faith and definitely will slow down the progress of our society.

Therefore, we should take effective measures as soon as possible to

prevent cheating. On the one hand, the students should be educated to realize the danger of cheating in the exams or even the undergraduate thesis. On the other hand, strict punishment should be put into use. (198 words)

Is the Independent Enrollment of University a Good Thing?

Many colleges and universities have ploughed into enrolling students independently. Both students and parents are keen on shuttling between those famous universities for taking examinations.

Most of voices are on the side of the independent enrollment of

university. Because they regard it as another opportunity for high school students to enter into prestigious universities. College entrance examination is no longer the only approach to the university, especially for those students with special talents. However, some people object to it with their own

reasons. For one thing, they think those difficult examinations organized by universities for their independent enrollment are bound to make students bear greater burden. For another thing, it might bring about injustice if there is barely strict supervision, let alone whether the examination is authentic enough to select qualified students.

In spite of all this, I am still confident that the independent enrollment is of great benefit to our society and examinees. With the perfection of our educational system, the problem as mentioned above will be solved. We have the enough reason to believe that all roads lead to Rome. (191 words)

大学自主招生是件好事吗?

许多学院和大学都已干劲十足地投入到自主招生工作中。学生和家 长都热衷于穿梭在那些知名大学之间,参加考试。

大部分的观点都是支持大学自主招生的。因为他们认为这是高中生 进入知名学府的另一个机会。大学入学考试不再是进入大学的唯一方式 了,尤其是对于那些有特殊天赋的学生来说。但是,一些人反对,他们有 自己的理由。一方面,他们认为大学为自主招生组织的那些很难的考试必

然让学生承受更大的负担。另一方面,如果缺乏严格的监督,这有可能 会产生不公正,更不用说考试在选拔出合格的学生方面是否足够可靠了。 尽管有如上这些观点,但对于自主招生能为社会和应试者带来很大 的好处,我仍然很有信心。随着教育体系的不断完善,以上提到的问题 将会得以解决。我们有足够的理由相信条条大路通罗马。

【经典范文】

Online Examination

The pilot project of online examinations recently is under heatedly

discussed in the universities. Though online examinations have tried in

some foreign countries, they are still fresh for Chinese colleges. People hold unanimous views on them.

Online examinations have their own special advantages of creating

a just environment for tests, which is called green tests and permits no cheat because each student will have a different online paper. However, the popularization of online examination is unavoidably facing many challenges, such as the establishment of a complete performance criterion on online examination, principles of supervision and strict training of staff, but among them the most important one is the requirement for equipment. Due to the unbalanced development in education, many universities in some remote areas are incapable to purchase so many computers for testing and create an examination point.

In spite of so many challenges for online exams, as the reform of modern examinations I believe that they will be adopted in more examinations only if both government and universities could make full preparation. Every trial will be perfected in practice and there is no exception to online examinations. (190 words)

网考

网考的试行近期在大学中受到热烈的讨论。虽然国外一些国家已经 尝试过网考了,但对中国的大学来说,网考还是个新鲜事物。人们对网 考的看法一致。

创造公平的考试环境,即所谓的绿色考试,不允许作弊,在这方面 网考有它们独特的优势,因为每个学生都将有一份不同的在线考卷。但 是,网考的普及不可避免的会面临许多挑战,比如完善的网考成绩衡量 标准、监管制度和受过严格训练的人员,但是这其中最重要的一点是对 设备的要求。由于教育发展的不平衡,偏远地区的许多大学无法为了考 试而购买那么多的电脑,也无法设立考点。

尽管网考面对许多挑战,然而作为现代考试的一种改革,我相信它 将在更多的考试中被采用,只要政府和大学都能做好充分的准备。每一 次尝试都会在实践上得以完善,对于网考来说也不例外。

1. 远程教育在各高校蓬勃发展;

2. 试论述远程教育的优势和不足;

【经典范文】

Remote Education

When it comes to the choice between studying in traditional colleges

and self-studying through Internet, recently more people choose to receive remote education, especially for those white collars, college students and professionals.

In the eyes of those people studying through Internet, remote education has its own advantages which are beneficial to their study. In the first place,

24

studying through Internet is more efficient and flexible because learners will

not be bound up in the classroom at the required time. In the second place, they can listen to the lessons from the famous teachers who are uneasy to contact at campus.

But remote education is still far from perfection. On one hand, staying

before computers too long will make students neglect the importance of communication. On the other hand, different from the traditional teaching

methods, students find it more difficult to get feedback from their teachers on time. As discussed above, it is obvious that remote education is a new teaching model without offices, classrooms and paper, and in my opinion it represents the trend of educational development and the most effective way to realize the popularity and justice of educational resource. Of course, presently it is only a complement to the traditional education. (203 words)

远程教育

当面临这样的选择时:是在传统的大学学习,还是通过网络进行自 学,最近更多的人选择接受远程教育,尤其是对那些白领、大学生和从 业人员来说。

在那些通过网络进行学习的人眼中,远程教育在帮助他们学习方面 有其自己的优势。首先,网络学习更有效、更灵活,因为学习者不必在 规定的时间内紧紧地被束缚在教室。其次,他们可以听到一些在校园不 容易接触到的名师的课。

但是远程教育还远不算完善。一方面,在电脑前待时间太长会使学 生忽视沟通的重要性。另一方面,与传统的教学方法不同,学生发现从 老师那里及时得到反馈更加困难。

如上所述,显然远程教育是一种新颖的无办公室,无教室和无纸化 的教学模式,据我看来它代表着教育发展的趋势,是实现教育资源的普 及和公平的最有效途径。当然,目前这仅是对传统教育的一种补充。

1. 随着房价的逐年攀高,高校毕业生纷纷采取了租房和蜗居的不同态度;

2. 试分析租房和买房的利弊;

3. 简述你对此的态度。

【经典范文】

Should a College Graduate Rent or Purchase a House?

With the soaring of the house price, the dream of having a house becomes unattainable for most of the new graduates. They face a dilemma of

dwelling narrowly or renting a room.

People holding the idea of purchasing a house think that the advantages

of owning a house of their own outweigh another choice. On the one hand, according to the historical record, house price is expected to rise in the future. The possession of a house is expected to make profits in the long run. On the other hand, a house belonging to yourself makes you feel safety and comfort. Nevertheless, dissenters do not agree with the idea. In their view, the house price is too high to afford for graduates. If graduates decide to buy a house, they are certain to increase the burden of their family.

In my opinion, it is more advisable to rent a house during the first years

than to buy a house because it is unwise to buy a house at such a high price. It is reasonable to save money and purchase a house at a suitable time. Surely, graduates can decide when to buy a house in accordance with their family condition. (201 words)

大学毕业生应该买房还是租房?

随着房价的飙升,买房梦对于大部分刚刚毕业的学生来说变得遥不

可及。他们在蜗居和租房之间面临着两难的选择。

支持买房观点的人认为, 拥有自己的房子的好处要超过租房的好处。 一方面,根据以往的情况,房价预计将来还会上涨。从长远来看,拥有 房子有可能会获利。另一方面,拥有自己的房子会使你感到安全和舒适。 然而,持异议者不同意这种观点。在他们看来,房价太高了,毕业生不 能承受。如果毕业生决定买房,他们必定会增加家庭的负担。

26

我认为,毕业后第一年里租房比买房更合适,因为以如此高的价格

去买房很不明智。 理智的做法是先攒钱, 然后在合适的时间再买房。 当然, 毕业生可以根据他们的家庭情况来决定何时买房。

【经典范文】

Studying Alone or Studying in a Group

Studying habit is a very individual thing. Some people like to study

alone, while others prefer to study in a group. Both ways of study have their own advantageous. But personally I would rather study alone than study in a group. Firstly, studying alone can help one to digest knowledge that he or she

has learned better. One can review the part that he or she did not understand during the class according to their own conditions. Secondly, studying alone will help one to concentrate his or her attention. While, studying in a group can, more or less, disperse one’s attention. If one is studying with his

28

or her friends, they will be much easier to get their concentration wander and may talk, laugh and play. Thirdly, studying by oneself could cultivate student’s independent thinking ability. Through study alone, one has to tackle problems on his or her own which is an exercise for one’s thinking ability. Through the above analysis, we could find many advantages of study

alone. For example, it could help you absorb knowledge better, focus on your study and cultivate your independent thinking ability. Therefore, if you want to study more efficiently, study by yourself. (199 words)

自主学习还是集体学习?

学习习惯是个很个性化的东西。一些人喜欢自主学习,而另一些人

更喜欢集体学习。这两种学习方式都有各自的优点。就我个人观点而言, 相比集体学习来说,我更倾向于自主学习。

第一,自主学习能帮助一个人更好地吸收他或她学的知识。一个人 可以根据自己的情况,复习他(她)在上课时没有理解的部分。第二, 自主学习有助于一个人集中他(她)的精力。而集体学习或多或少会分 散一个人的注意力。如果一个人和他(她)的朋友们一起学习,他们会

更容易走神,可能会说话、大笑或玩。第三,自己学习能培养学生的独 立思考能力。通过自主学习,一个人必须自己解决问题,这就是一种对 思考能力的锻炼。

通过以上分析,我们能发现自主学习的许多好处。比如,它能帮助

你更好地吸收知识,把精力集中到学习上,以及培养你独立思考的能力。 因此,如果你想更有效率地学习,就自己学习吧。
