Task 1

My IdealTeacher

My ideal teacher must meet thefollowing requirements. First and foremost, that

teacher must becool, whether male or female matters not a bit. He doesn’t need tobe very handsome because a stunningly attractive male standing inthe front of the classroom may keep me from concentrating on whathe talks about. In other words, his appearance, if too handsome,would make him a distraction rather than an attraction. Secondly,he is capable of witty remarks which not only elicit heartfeltsmile, laughter, applause or even screams from his students butalso send them thinking deep. Last but not the least, he

isknowledgeable. He serves as a beacon which guides his students indarkness on the voyage of the pursuit of truth. His lectures are areflection of his extensive reading, his profound research and hisindependent thinking. Unfortunately, my ideal teacher has not yetcome in the flesh to all the schools I attended.(153ws)

Task 2

The Importance of Independent Thinking

Independent thinking and originality characterize the evolution of the human history. Without them, humans would have remained uncivilized, struggling for survival or the

worst of all, human beings would have vanished from this planetas a result of the loss of creativity. It has become more truetoday that independent thinking is essential to the academicresearch which definitely contributes to the humandevelopment.

Independent thinking is the sourceof vitality. To stay alive and ahead in a field of

research, onemust keep moving towards new developments and breakthroughs. Heneeds to come up with new ways to solve problems. Take teachers asan example. Those who create a new approach to imparting a certainsort of knowledge are capable of keeping the classroom atmospherealive, involving more students in the class activities andeventually arousing the students’ interest in exploring thesubjects they teach. With the new

methodology, they are able to tapthe potentials in the students and bring the best out ofthem.

Independent thinking promotesproductivity and enhances efficiency. Thanks to his inventiveness,Yuan Longping, an agricultural scientist, known as the Father ofPaddy Rice, helps feed the biggest population in the world andboost an immense number of people out of poverty. The new strain ofpaddy Yuan invented is just the result of creativity. It’s hard toimagine what the world would be like without thisinvention.

Independent thinking adds tovariety. It yields a new perspective of the subject

underdiscussion. In other words, originality can lead to constructionand offer more alternatives. For instance. Liu Xinwu’s approach tothe study of The Dream of the

Providing Physical Exercises Should Not Be The Schools Responsibility?

While physical exercise is important, I do not believe that it is the school?s responsibility to provide physical training for its students.

That is something that everyone can take care of on his or her own.

Many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. A student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. A good physical education program must take a student?s outside activity into consideration. Otherwise, some students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise.

If a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. The range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming, weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga, skiing, horseback riding, and golf are just a few. However, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. Some students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. This seems unfair. Research suggests that participation, not excellence, in these activities determines the physical benefits the body will get.

Another issue is economic. Many schools do not have the money to provide gry facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. Other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is not available. A few schools would rather keep money for academic purposes.

Schools can certainly encourage physical activity. They can provide space for activities, events, and classes for physical activities. They can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise. However, I think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility.

Living In University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community?

I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Student?s needs change over four years, so their housing should too.

Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy.

Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.

Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord?s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.

Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education.

Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel.

I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students. Children should begin their formal schooling at an early age

Children Should Begin Their Formal Schooling at an Early Age

People have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both views are based on respective ground.

Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young children can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so. But we can arrange classes for shorter periods, can?t we? And we can shift teaching subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learning but not with playing.

Those who argue for children?s early commencement for formal education believe that being put to studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children?s mental abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do simple calculation. Children?s habit of studying and love for learning are of great importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound foundation for their future studies.

Having children start formal education at a very early age benefits young children much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habits needs a long time to develop to become a second nature. More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, the love for learning should take toots for before the love for playing is established.

Should A Person Make An Important Decision Alone?

A person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out. People who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience.

When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, I talked to my teachers and advisors, they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses.

In collage, I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. The day of the audition, a friend of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked, she was able to provide me with another perspective on myself and my talents. I rethought my decision and tried out….and got a lead in the play.

Last year when I was trying to decide whether or not I should study overseas, I talked to my friend. This was the best thing I could have done. This was a big decision for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it. She had studied overseas the precious year. She told me about the challenges and opportunities I might encounter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing.

Whenever I am faced with an important decision, I seek advice from others so that I am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspective and experience

My Opinion on Advertisement

Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. There are many way to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Advertising is a big industry and many agencies are set up for furnish a variety of services for it.

However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that advertisements of one type of things are often shown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you should choose. What?s more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers exaggerate the benefits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumer falls victim to such advertising.

Although there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well. Secondly, a wide range of activities and institutions receive financial support through advertising. Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspapers and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements even provide entertainment. A considerable amount of effort goes into their production. So in most cases the photography is truly artistic, the slogans are genuinely witty,

and the situations are decidedly funny.

Generally speaking, advertisements have become one of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today. Let us make our life easier by learning to choose proper ads, and be the master of advertisements, not their salve.:At the beginning of the new millennium, there are wider social concerns about increasingly conspicuous splits in society between those who are computer literate, employable and well paid, and those who are not, -----Such split is termed "Digital Divide". What do you think is ONE of the major problems that may result from this trend? Write an essay of about 400 words on the topic given below:

A Major Problem Resulted From Digital Divide(数字鸿沟,数码鸿沟)

In recent years, although the majority of all countries especially the post-industrial societies, have achieved preeminent(卓越的) progress thanks to the widespread of personal computer and Internet, this trend also resulted in large groups of poor, underprivileged(被剥夺基本权力的,穷困的,下层社会的) and disadvantaged(贫穷的,处于不利地位的) people who lack in computer skills. Such groups have limited access to the information age and are identified below the Digital Divide. These people find it difficult to find a decent job, and many of them are likely to turn to drugs and crimes. In a word, this tendency has created many social problems, namely unemployment, cime, drug abuse, disparity(不一致, 不同, 不等) between the rich and the poor, and so on. I think the most important element among them is crime.

The Digital Divide functions on two levels, namely the domestic level and the international level. On the domestic level, when it comes to other negative effects accompanied by the emergence of Digital Divide such as unemployment and drug abuse, some people may adopt an inappropriate perspective that they are not affected by these problems and show no interest in solving them. Regardless of the political correctness of such opinions, the devastating effects of crimes closely associate with all those in the society and allow of no neglect. If we don't put this issue under scrutiny, our lives and properties will naturally suffer great loss as a result and this issue virtually serves the function of a trigger of dissatisfaction among the people. Furthermore, since the computer skills are necessary in our routine jobs, those computer illiterate will be disappointed to find they are not qualified to have an upper hand in the job market. They have no choice but to commit crimes as a means of earning their bread as well as revenging(报仇, 复仇,替...报仇, 复仇)on the society.

On the international level, people in underdeveloped countries will lament that their situation is worse than before since the advent of the personal computer and Internet, whose original purpose is , ironically, to provide convenience as well as efficiency to all human beings instead of causing social and economical gaps between rich and poor countries. To make it worse, radicals from some underdeveloped countries will attribute their plight to the exploitation and oppression inflicted by developed countries aided by advanced technology. Consequently, they are entitled to take an extreme form of crime, namely terrorist attacks launched against Western contries, as they deserve the punishment.

If the digital technology continues to develop at the expense of those beneath the Digital Divide and the underdeveloped countries do not take an active approach to the problems, even well educated computer literates in developed countries will not enjoy their lives devoid of a sense of security. To eliminate all crimes caused by the Digital Divide, all governments should provide the underclass with educational and financial provision, which in turn generates possible job opportunities. Meanwhile, developed countries should provide

unconditional economic, financial, technological aids for poor countries to help them build infrastructure and purchase equipment so that they can take advantage of current technology.

Should Household Chores Be Required as Part of the Daily Routine of School

Children?

Some people think that household chores家务杂事 should be required part of the daily routine of school children. Other people believe that young children should spend more time on their academic studies. Which viewpoint do you agree to? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:

Should Household Chores Be Required as part of the Daily Routine of School Children?

Some parents prefer to do all the household chores by themselves for fear that the daily job will infringe on their children's valuable time on learning. In fact, it is advisable to provide household chores as a daily responsibility to young children.

Since great progress has been made recently in terms of(根据, 按照, 用...的话, 在...方面) living conditions thanks to the material prosperity in our country, school children generally enjoy a more comfortable life under cozy(舒适的, 安逸的, 惬意的) circumstances and have greater chance to receive first-rate education. On the other hand, however, some of them are spoiled and unwilling to take on their own responsibility. With the introduction of home economics(家政学), young students will respect physical labor and develop their work ethic, which may contribute tremendously to the development of their characters. With numerous shackles(桎梏) and obstacles waiting for them in the long journey of life, the students should become aware of the urgent need to practice chores as an essential form of tempering(回火) their willpower. When they take up the chores industriously(勤勉的, 刻苦的) on the own with parents' guidance instead of interference, they will gradually acquire such qualities as diligence, perseverance, and patience.

Another reason why I preach the importance of household economics for children lies in the fact that it is a convenient method to learn useful skills after class. During the course of cooking, house cleaning, baby-sitting, fence repairing, car washing, grass mowing, and wall painting, the young children may obtain certain techniques and then use their imagination to foster a sense of creativity and achievement, which combine to pave the way for their future career.

The last but not least factor is economic. If their children dawdle(偷懒,闲逛) over the work or even refuse to fulfill their obligations, an incentive payment is a good proposal to encourage them to earn them own pocket money. The truth is that the children will find themselves overtaken(突然降临,压倒) with joy upon receiving their deserved salary, which in turn helps them realize the virtue of self-reliance(自恃, 倚靠自己) and self-struggle.

Some people may concern that the housework will occupy a large amount of their children's time, which will bring about terrible school reports, cause physical and mental fatigue, or even result in unpredictable negative effects. Obviously, appropriate amount of chores in children's leisure time is the last one to threaten their academic achievements and health because of advantages such as relaxation, stress relieving, and weight maintenance.

If parent entrust(委托) appropriate housework to their children with necessary guidance, they will be amazed at these young people's abilities to tackle a good many problems, which help to cultivate(培养,栽培)

a sense of responsibility and pride. As an effective complementary form of school education in modern society, it should no doubt become a productive part of school children's life.

University Education is Essential to One's success

It is said that nowadays one cannot acquire the qualifications and qualities essential to success through university education or study in some institutions of similar nature. You are going to argue for or against it and support your view with details.

University Education is Essential to One's success

It is not an uncommon phenomenon that many people become successful without a formal college education, some typical examples of which are Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft; Li Jiacheng, a Hong Kong billionaire and Hua Luogeng, a world-class mathematician. This leads some people to believe that a person can achieve great success without a formal education and that the qualifications a successful person needs cannot be acquired through the study in university or other institutions of similar nature. It cannot be denied that there do exist such examples in every country; however, I can hardly share the above point of view for several reasons In the first place, a college or university is a specialized institution of higher learning where people can receive systematic and scientific training in a certain field, which paves the way for(为...铺平道路) their future career. With the advent of the era of knowledge-based economy, a man without a sound academic background can hardly accomplish anything. Only in universities and other institutions of higher learning can he/she master the professional knowledge and relevant skills essential to his/her career.

Secondly, it is wise to learn at another man's cost. We can benifit much from the invaluable experience and knowledge handed down from our ancestors and draw a lesson from the failure of our predecessors so as to avoid detour.

Thirdly, when in university, one also has to learn to communicate and cooperate with teachers and fellow students, during which one cultivates friendship and acquires the interpersonal skills, both of which are conductive to one's future career and success. University is said to be a miniature society.

Last of all, there are innumerable successful people who attribute their achievements to a formal university education. It is no wonder that so many parents spare no efforts to send their children to colleges and universities.

From what I have mentioned above, it is obvious that we can acquire the qualifications and qualities essential to our future career and success through university education. The systematic knowledge and solid academic foundation will make it easy for us to understand and absorb new-developed theories based on previous research efforts; with the social skills we acquire in such a miniature society as university, we will not have to waste much time learning how to handle human relationship. Compared with those without formal university education, university graduates have already gained an upper hand(优势,上风,有利地位) at the very beginning of building their own career.

Travel Helps Promote Communication Between Countries

Tourism has already become a multibillion-dollar industry that supports economic development. You are going to write an article entitled: Travel Helps Promote Communication Between Countries

Travel Helps Promote Communication between Countries

With the steady growth in the world's economy as well as the people's living standard, nowadays more and more people are able to afford to go to travel abroad. Thus people of different races and colors have more chances to meet each other and understand each other. Such activities among people help promote the understanding and communication between countries, which helps to make this world a better and more harmonious place.

Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages. Firstly, beautiful scenery, attractive tourist spots and splendid culture allure tourists with different parts of the world, which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from different backgrounds. For example, since the reform and opening-up, China, a country which has rich tourist resources, receives millions of foreign tourists every year. The frequent contacts between foreign tourists and Chinese people promote the exchanges of culture and science, creating international friendship and promoting deeper understanding and strengthening ties. Meanwhile this has accelerated the development of these countries. Secondly, travel enriches one's knowledge, widens one's vision and enhances mutual understanding. In the past, Chinese people knew little of the outside world. Since the reform and opening-up, with people's living standard greatly improved, more and more people have the chances to go abroad for sightseeing. Through traveling, we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge, and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our own country better. Thirdly, tourism boosts推进 local economy and promotes commercial exchanges. Singapore is such a good example. It is a small country with scarce natural resources. But owing to the prosperous tourism, the country's economy develops very well and it is named one of the four economic "tigers" in northeastern Asia.

But some people say that tourism cannot work so well as people expect. They argue that the purpose of the tourists is just to enjoy sightseeing and in fact tourism has its disadventages. Firstly, tourism does great harm to the tranquility宁静 and sanitation卫生, 卫生设施 of the local place, and sometimes it even causes pollution to the naturel environment. Secondly, many tourists cannot even speak a word of the language of the country they are visiting. There is little possibility that they will have a deep understanding of the country in such a short period of time. Thirdly, during the trip, poor service and language barrier语言障碍 may even give rise to unwanted不必要的 misunderstanding. Also the tourists' wealth may make the local people more aware of their own poverty and lead to jealousy and psychological imbalance.

As the proverb goes, " No garden is without weeds." In my opinion, compared with the advantages, disadvantages of tourism have become trivial things. It is important for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to remove prejudice and bias. We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful and attract more foreign friends.

In recent years, some people raise doubts about the practice of co-education. They think it is not a good idea for the overall development of our younger generation. They think all-boy or all-girl schools may be a better choice. You are going to write a composition on the following topic :Co-education or Single-sex Schools

Co-education or Single-sex Schools

Nowadays, we can often hear people complain that it is much more difficult to teach students of today. They create a lot of problems, which make adults very worried. Some people even raise doubts about the practice of co-education男女同校. They think that the problem may lie in our educational system. A girl school or a boy school may be a better choice. There are also people who firmly advocate提倡, 鼓吹 the practice of co-education. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of赞同, 有利于 the latter opinion.

Co-education has a number of advantages. Above everything else, as we all know, the adult world is made up of male and female, so should the school be. Co-education helps one better know his/her social role so that one can easily adapt himself/herselp to the outside world. Secondly, co-education offers a good chance for male and female students to better understand one another, thus removing illusions and wrong impression of the opposite sex. The fact is that the more they are segregated from the opposite sex异性, the more curious they become about the opposite sex. Thirdly, co-education helps refrain students from忍住, 制止 indecent下流的, 猥亵的, <口>不象样的, 不妥当的 behaviors because of the presence of the opposite sex. According to an investigation conducted by some psychologists, students, both male and female, will pay more attention to their own speech and action with the opposite sex. They will be well-behaved行为端正的, 彬彬有礼的 and well-adjusted.

On the other hand, those who are against co-education have their own reasons. First of all, they maintain that there is a possibility of puppy love 早年初恋. Some teenagers are precocious早熟的 and they easily fall in love. Second, female students may suffer from discrimination and inequality. Thirdly, the co-education system cannot cater to the individual needs of students of both sexes. While in segregated schools, boys and girls can fully develop themselves to their own interest and abilities. In boy schools, boys can enjoy many courses specially designed for them while it is the same with girls in girl schools.

When advantages and disadvantages are put together, we can see that the advantages of co-education far outweigh its disadvantages. What we should do is to change our methods of teaching children when time changes so that we can keep up with the trend and let our children develop in a healthy way.

Social Activities----a Necessary Complement to College Life

Many university students are taking an active part in all kinds of club activities or sports on the campus, but quite a few other students dismiss拒绝接受 these activities as time-consuming耗时的 and useless. This phenomenon results from their different understanding of college life.

The 'pro-club' students regard participation of some social activities such as activities in clubs or societies as an important part of their college life while the 'anti-club' students focus their attention on studies rather than, as they put it, on recreation消遣, 娱乐 or entertainment.

In fact, clubs or sports mean much more than recreations or entertainment. They are a necessary complement补足 to college life, enriching the students life by engaging them in certain interesting activities. Furthemore, to take part in an art club, or say, a Project Hope Association will prevent the students from becoming book worms极爱读书的人,书呆子 and help them improve their skills in communicating with people, planning an activity or leading an organization.

It is reported that students who have engaged themselves in certain club activities or sports can easily adapt themselves to a new environment after they graduate from their universities. But it is a hard nut to crack棘手的问题 for those who have all the time been burying themselves in books.

Someone may argue by raising a problem of time. As a matter of fact事实上, time is not a problem so long as只要 we arrange it in a proper way .The key is how to improve the efficiency of study so as to使得, 以致 spare aome time for appropriate social activities.

However, it is safer to say that priority should be given to academic courses普通课程; 学术课程. Only on the premise that both energy and time are available, can we engage ourselves in certain club activities or sports.

What Do We Need: Physical Recreation or Intellectual Activities

Many people enjoy very active physical recreation like sports, camping and fishing. Other people prefer to spend their leisure time participating in more intellectual activities like reading, listening to music, collecting stamps or watching films. Write an essay, comparing physical pastimes with intellectual ones and explain why you think physical or intellectual activities are better to a person of your age.

What Do We Need: Physical Recreation or Intellectual Activities

Many people are inclined to倾向于 take active physical recreation, like sports, camping and fishing in their leisure time, while others would rather participate in more intellectual activities, like reading, listening to music, watching films and so on. Although it is unreasonable and impossible to tell which one is absolutely better than the other, in my opinion, it seems more advisable for the young people about 20~25 years old to take the latter which is in accordance with与...一致 their unique characteristics.

First, compared with physical activities, intellectual ones become more urgent and important. Since the young generation full of energy are at their highest points to learn and explore, there is no doubt that they should make full use of their golden age to enrich knowledge, cultivate their mind, broaden their vision, and develop their tastes. Thus, they will be more creative and contributive to the society as they set out to开始 their own careers.

Second, intellectual activities are more helpful for the young people to contact with their surroundings, of both the past and the present. For example, through reading one can learn about the wisdom and philosophy held by great figures in history, which may guide him to lead a more intelligent way of life. Watching films or listeniing to music can help a person grasp the contemporary当代的 cultural tendency and accordingly因此, 从而 keep pace with the fast-developing world. It is obvious that simple physical exercises cannot achieve all of these.

Of course, I want to make it clear that I don't mean physical activities are less helpful to life than intellectual ones. People should have their own choices on the basis of their different life styles, characters, hobbies and health. Yet, for the young people of my age, I suppose the latter will be more practical and meaningful.

Take more intellectual activities when you are young, which will benefit you for your whole life.

Is Originality Important in Language Learning

In my opinion, originality创意, 新奇is not important in language learning. The reason why I think so is that language learning does not need originality as a vital condition条件.

Originality is less important to an English learner. A case in point恰当的例子 is in pronunciation. Every English learner has to spend a long and boring period of time on a large amount of大量 training of pronunciation. During those days, what students do is to try their best to imitate teacher's pronunciations about English words and make the sound of them, and then repeat them time by time. To an English learner, the experience is of great use很有用 to improve his pronunciation. From this case we can see clearly the great importance of imitation or repetition rather than originality or creativity in the beginning of language learning. Originality refers to creativity which amounts to changes, but there are many formed rules which cannot be changed in language, such as grammatical rules. We cannot create a new grammatical rule. It is the same that we cannot speak or write a language at will随意, 任意. If one who speaks English wants to make the other peopler understand him, he must speak it according to English grammar; otherwise nobody would understand him. Therefore, there is no originality in grammar learning of language.

I do not think originality is important in language learning. It does not follow that originality is useless. It is when one masters a language and learns to use it that originality could give him a great beneficial help.

Universality or Diversity

. At present many people think that one language should be used as the universal language世界语, but others think that by doing so the cultures of different nations will be lost.

Universality or Diversity

With the development of globalization, there are an increasing number of scholars these days who hold the opinion that we need a common language共同语 to be spoken by all the people in the world. However, other scholars are afraid that this will weaken other languages and cultures at the same time. As for me, I am not in favor of the viewpoint that one language should replace others as the universal one.

Nowadays it is universally acknowledged公认的 that language is not only a tool of communication but also a kind of art. Each language, no matter what kind of language it is, has its unique pronunciation, grammar and expressions, which contribute to the diversity多样性 of the world. Therefore, if the diverse languages are diminished, our world will become less colorful.

We can say that language is part of culture, and plays a considerably相当地 important role in culture. Indeed, some social scientists consider it the keystone重点, 要旨 of culture. Without language, so the argument goes, culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture; it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises包含, 由...组成 their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking. Cultures differ from one another, and each culture is unique. There is no denying that it will be a disaster for us to see the world's diverse cultures disappear one by one.

When all the factors are examined, we may safely确实地 come to the conclusion that although we are convinced that确信,承认, no matter what our career choice职业选择 is, a command of foreign languages is an important skill to acquire, yet we should protect our own language, the carrier of our culture.

Old People Should Not be Forced by Law to Retire

There has long been a debate about whether old people should be forced to retire from work at the age of 55 or 60, regardless of不管, 不顾 their own wishes. People in favor of this say that old people, having worked for over thirty years, should not go on working, because physically they are not as strong, healthy and energetic as they used to be, and mentally they are not able to endure the same pressure of having to work to earn a living as young people are. Personally, I do not agree with this point of view for the following reasons:

First, it seems to me that no one should be forced to change his/her lifestyle unless he/she has committed a crime犯罪. People, whether they are old or young, should have the right to decide their own way of life. Just as young people can choose to stop working and enjoy their leisure time as long as they can make ends meet, old people should also be allowed to continue working, provided that they are still qualified for their jobs.

Second, there are many jobs that are especially suitable for old people, such as jobs that call for more experience and wisdom than physical power. With their rich experience in both work and life, many old people would make good consultants, instructors, coaches, doctors and psychologists, to mention only a few.

Last but not least, some old people do not go on working simply for economic reasons. It seems to them that there is more to work than just making money. They simply enjoy working as an indispensable不可缺少的 part of their lives. Some of them even develop various mental and physical problems after retiring from work, and it seems that the best way to keep them in good health and high spirits is to allow them to keep working. All in all总而言之, I believe that not only should old people's physical conditions be taken into consideration but also their psychological needs should be respected. Therefore, letting them do whatever they are fond and capable of doing will make them much happier than forcing them to stay isolated from society and endure loneliness in their twilight 黄昏的 years.

What Is the Most Appealing Feature of a Job?

What is the most appealing吸引人的 feature of a job? Some people claim that it is a high salary that makes a job appealing. Others believe that job satisfaction or being useful to society is more important. In my opinion, although a high wage is by no means决不 unimportant, job satisfaction has priority.

For a start, compared with sheer money, the satisfaction and pleasure one derives from得自, 由来 his or her work are much more fulfilling and long lasting. Almost every kind of job can provide people with money to sustain维持 their daily lives, that is, to meet their physical needs. However, only a few careers can supply people with a sense of satisfaction and satiate their psychological demands. It is this very sense of gratification满意, not the money, that makes people feel confident, happy and optimistic. To lead a quality life, a person should attach more emphasis to job satisfaction than the salary of the job brings.

At the same time, focusing too much on the salary will jeopardize危害 a person's career prospects. Taking a high salary as a career goal can restrain抑制 one's initiative主动, suffocate使窒息 one's creativity and hamper妨碍 one's future development, because all that is involved is earning a living. However, a person who resolves决心 to seek pleasure and satisfaction in his or her work will go all out全力以赴 to tap his or her potential for career advancement with the utmost enthusiasm. In this sense, job satisfaction is a more powerful driving force驱动力 for a person than money.

Lastly, a high salary leads only to the gratification of one's personal needs, while being useful to society coincides with与...相符 the public interests. If a person regards contributing to the common good as the most important feature of a job, that person will make the utmost efforts to provide the best service for society, benefiting both the public and the individual.

Therefore, from the above analysis we can conclude that although a high salary is a very important feature of an appealing job, job satisfaction is of far more significance for an employee.

Personal Appearance: Looks Really Count

There is a heated discussion on whether or not one's personal appearance should count in our daily life. Some will say looks are not everything, and beauty is but skin deep; others will not agree. They hold the opinion that good personal appearance will leave good impression on people, and beauty will make people pleasant. On this issue, my opinion is that personal appearance should count in our daily life.

In job-hunting求职 personal appearance is especially important. A good personal appearance will make the interviewer feel pleasant and have a good impression of the interviewee. To some jobs such as public relation associator, model, movie star, a beaufiful face is essential. In those jobs, homely faces不好看的:缺乏吸引力的 will make people sick.

Personal appearance is also important in looking for a partner in marriage. When a girl in introduced to a boy by a go-between, the girl's beautiful face will to a great extent make the boy a prospective seeker; on the other hand, the boy will leave the girl alone after the meeting if the girl is ugly. Perhaps, this is the reason why boys and girls will try their best to make themselves have a good appearance before this kind of meeting.

Personal appearance also plays an active role in many other aspects. From these we can conclude that in our daily life, personal appearance really counts.

Sending Teenagers to Study Abroad: Good or Bad?

Nowadays more and more parents send their teenage children to study abroad. This has drawn public attention. Some people believe it is good for the children while others are worried about the development of these teenagers.

Sending Teenagers to Study Abroad: Good Or Bad?

Over the past few years, more and more Chinese parents have been sending their children abroad, believing the experience of studying abroad will pave the way for their children's future success. Even now, this rush continues and has become very widespread. This phenomenon has drawn public attention, with people standing on both sides. It is my contention论点 that sending teenagers abroad without proper preparation may do more harm than good to their development.

First of all, these teenagers may have difficulty adapting to the new environment which might be totally different from the homeland they are used to living in. Therefore, they will probably experience the so-called "culture shock". They may dislike the food, be unable to follow the teachers? teaching method, or have problems dealing with people around them. As a result, they may find nothing goes well at the beginning and feel lonely and frustrated. If these teenagers are not well prepared psychologically, their character will probably be severely affected.

Moreover, for these youngsters'年青人, 少年 language can be a great barrier, which may cause difficulty in both their daily life and their studies. As most of them have just graduated from middle schools when going abroad, their command of the foreign language is usually inadequate for living and studying in a foreign country. Consequently, they may find it hard to follow the teacher's instructions and feel at a loss困惑 as to how to use the library and how to rent an apartment. The pressure of study and stress of life may make them feel anxious and upset, which may in turn affect their academic development(学生)知识的发展, 学术水准的提高.

In conclusion, teenagers studying abroad will probably have an extremely difficult time and their perspective of academic success will be far from their parents? expectation. Sending teenagers abroad may be an unwise decision. Parents should be careful when making such a choice.

Many parents believe that early childhood education is extremely important for children's development. How far do you agree or disagree with them?

Early Childhood Education

It is a tradition in China that parents have a high expectation of their children. As education is considered the most important way to success, young couples today are paying more and more attention to their children's early education. Many parents send their children to classes of English, drawing, music, dancing and so on. On the other hand, many people are strongly against this phenomenon. In my opinion, early childhood education can be benificial to children's future when it is conducted properly.

First of all, good early education can be a lifetime benefit to children. As we know, cildren are generally quick to grasp new knowledge and master a new skill. So childhood is usually believed to be the golden time to learn. Many people share the experience that what they have learnt in their childhood helps lay a solid foundation for their future success. Many well-known musicians, sports stars, and scientists owe their success to early childhood learning experiences.

However, early childhood education should not be conducted by force. Many young couples, with high expection of their children, often force their children to learn when the children are reluctant不情愿的 to or fail to meet their requirement. This often results in children's loss of interest in learning and confidence in themselves. Therefore, if parents really believe it is important or necessary for their children to learn some knowledge or a certain skill, they should first try to arouse their children's interest in it. When the cildren do have the desire and the potential, parents can provide them with good conditions, which will not be too late.

In conclusion, early childhood education is important for children's development. It, however, should not be carried out only according to parents? will. Children's interest should also be taken into consideration.

In Support Of Disabled Students' Access To Higher Education

Things are getting much better since the introduction of the anti-discrimination law in 1991. According to Beijing Daily, more than 300 high school graduates with physical disabilities残障 attended universities in Beijing between 1996 and 2001. Suppose you believe disabled students should have access to higher education……

IN SUPPORT OF DISABLED STUDENTS' ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION

Since the introduction of the anti-discrimination law in 1991, there has been a heated dispute on disabled students' access to higher education. In my point of view, disabled students should have access to higher education.

Firstly, it is immoral and cruel to deprive disabled students of the right for higher education. It is a great misfortune for disabled students to lose certain physical functions. Deprivation of their right for higher education would undoubtedly无庸置疑地, 的确地 worsen(使)变得更坏, 恶化 their situation and make their future life even harder since education is one of the most important means to achieve a happy life. Some of them, having overcome countless great difficulties caused by their physical problems, manage to achieve good academic results. It is definitely inhuman野蛮的 to neglect the great efforts they make for success and smash their hope for a good life. Besides, higher education can help disabled students to obtain greater achievements. Disabled people can be as intelligent as any other citizens, many of them have made remarkable contribution to the world. Some of the well-known examples include Franklin Roosevelt, Helen Keller, etc. Going over their life experieces, we can easily draw a conclusion that they owed their great success to the good education they had received. Therefore, discrimination against disabled students may lead to a great loss of many talents.

In conclusion, we have the obligation to help these people in misfortune to live a happy life, instead of pushing them to an even worse situation. As disabled students with good schooling学校教育 can contribute on a larger scale to the development of our country, shutting the door of higher education to them is not only unethical but also unwise.

Human Cloning or Not?

With the development of cloning technology, the debate over human cloning has been intensified加强. Proponents建议者, 支持者 of human cloning believe that this technology will benefit those couples who cannot have children. However, I insist that human cloning should be banned for the following reasons.

First of all, biological problems underlying cloning are so complex that human cloning is unsafe. It is well known that animal cloning has a high rate of failure. Many animals are born dead or deformed残废的. Even if some survive, they may have defects from which they will die of later on. It was reported that the cloned mice that appeared normal showed evidence of证明, 说明, 表明 genetic mutation(生物物种的)突变. This is because the regulatory mechanisms调节机制, which occur normally during development, are disturbed during the process of cloning. We simply do not have enough knowledge about cloning and the technology at this stage. If we clone humans, we may produce many abnormal反常的, 变态的 kindred, which will be nothing but a disaster to our human kind.

Moreover, human cloning will bring some social and moral problems. For example, those couples who are unable to have children might choose to have a copy of one of them(e.g. a copy of the husband). However, how should the wife react to a physical copy of her husband who she is in love with? In addition, when the copy meets friends or relatives of the original, these people will confuse the original with the copy. How they should treat the copy would be another problem. Besides identity身份, his social status would be a great headache to the society.

In conclusion, human cloning should be prohibited in the world because it is scientifically unsafe and will trigger引发, 引起 social and moral crises. Any attempt to clone humans is an irresponsible action to human life and should be severely punished.

Will Teachers Be Replaced By Computers In The Future?

With the development of society, the computer has pervaded遍及 almost all areas of life. Some work which used to be done by human beings can be completed by computers. Therefore, some people assume that teachers will be replaced by computers in the future. To what extent do you agree of disagree with this opinion?

WILL TEACHERS BE REPLACED BY COMPUTERS IN THE FUTURE?

In education, the computer is playing an increasingly important role, so some people assume that teachers will be replaced by computers one day. However, I believe that computers will never be able to replace teachers. Firstly, the computer can never fulfill teachers? role in nourishing the human mind and spirit. Education is more a process of instruction students emotionally and psychologically than passing on knowledge mechanically. It is widely acknowledged that successful education is always based on a large amount of investment of love and concern. Students need teachers' love while in difficulty, for teachers' encouragement can help them gain confidence. No wonder the famous blind educator and writer Helen Keller once said, "My teacher's love illuminates my dark life and enables me to find my direction." But how could students get all of these from an inanimate死气沉沉的, 没生命的 machine even if all the information of the world could be stored in it?

Another demanding task computers cannot perform is that they cannot teach students according to their individual gifts. A competent有能力的, 胜任的 teacher is always good at finding out students' shining points. For example, when Gauss高斯 was a child, his teacher realized he had a special talent in mathematics and helped him exploit his potential and thus set him to the way of tremendous success in mathematics. This work, of course, is beyond any computer's ability. Besides, teachers can adjust their teaching to different students of different characteristic. Students' characteristics are so diversified 形形色色的 that computers can hardly be programmed to meet this requirement.

In conclusion, no matter how advanced computers will be in future, education still has to be fulfilled by teachers. The teacher is able to be fully aware of students' needs and offer them what they really want accordingly while the computer is merely a tool manipulated(熟练地)操作 by human beings to assist the fulfillment of such tasks.

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

In China, many grandparents undertake担任 the responsibility of raising their grandchildren when the young parents are too busy with their paid jobs. This phenomenon has been the subject for dispute for some time. In my opinion, young parents should take care of their children by themselves because there are many disadvantages in grandparents taking care of grandchildren.

First, children who are left to grandparents at an early age may be educationally disadvantaged later in life because they may miss important early learning opportunities that occur in parent-child interaction. It is widely acknowledged that childhood is the golden time to learn. As most young parents receive better education than the grandparents, they can better assist children in their early learning. Scientific investigation has also shown that intimate parent-child contact accelerates children's language acquisition语言习得[掌握] and intellectual development.

Moreover, children brought up by grandparents can develop emotional defects. All children are most attached to使依恋 their parents by nature生来. When unwillingly living apart from their parents and seeing other children enjoying parents' love and attention, these children may have a feeling of abandonment, which may develop into an incurable trauma伤口 in their later life.

Last but not least, children's psychological development can be severely affected. These children, deprived of direct care from their parents, are usually spoiled by their grandparents. Consequently, these children are more likely to develop such psychological problems as egoism自我主义, 利己主义 and egotism自我中心, 自尊自大.

In conclusion, grandparents raising grandchildren may cause negative effects on children's intellectual, emotional and psychological development. Therefore, the best place for children is always at their own parents's side.

Psychological Education in Schools

Some people suggest that schools, including primary schools, middle schools and colleges, should carry out psychological education. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

PSYCHOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

It is reported that nowadays the number of students with psychological problems in middle schools and universities is growing rapidly. Therefore, many people propose that schools should carry out psychological education. Personally, I entirely agree with this proposal.

First of all, students are the social group most likely to incur psychological problems. Currently, Chinese students are under growing pressure: society puts high demands on them; parents have great expectations of them; and they also set themselves exacting强求 challenges. But the fierce competition of various exams forces them to spend almost all their time on study, which deprives them of the chance to know themselves, or to grasp and apply practical social skills. Moreover, most students are brought up in uneventful circumstances, so they are psychologically immature and fragile易碎的, and consequently lack adaptability. When encountered with frustration or adversity不幸, 灾祸, 逆境, they may retreat or react with excessive过多的, 过分的 "countermeasures对策".

On the other hand, students cannot get the psychological guidance they need. Currently, few Chinese educational institutions have established a psychological health system, and psychological education within primary and middle schools remains nil零. In most cases, students are left to kill the time in their psychological class. Besides, there is not enough communication between parents, teachers and students. As a matter of fact, parents and teachers attach so much attention to young people's study that they often neglect their mental health. All these factors contribute to the increasing psychological problems in students.

In a word, psychological education is imperative 必要的 for Chinese students. All schools should offer psychological education so as to achieve the ultimate goal of education----to foster培养 students' capacity for survival, good inter-personal skill, and the means of advancing human civilization.

Married Women's Choice: Housewives or Career Women

Today, a great deal of people hold that a man should devote himself to building up a career while a woman's role should be at home. Some even propose that married working women should quit their jobs to be full-time housewives, bt some strongly oppose it.

MARRIED WOMEN'S CHOICE: HOUSEWIVES OR CAREER WOMEN

As many families become rich enough to spare wives from having to work, the centuries-old悠久的Chinese value that a woman's position is at home revives复兴. The question of whether to be a housewife or a career woman puzzles many Chinese married women. In my opinion, women should never quit their career.

In the first place, when a woman leaves her job and becomes a full-time housewife, family and husband will be the centre of all her life, and she will gradually lose her self-esteem自尊 and become spiritually dependent on her husband. However, if the husband is too busy to spare as much time for her as she has expected, she will feel empty and frustrated.

Moreover, great differences in the living environment between husband and wife may result in a tremendous gap, which may ruin the harmonious family relationship. When a woman gives up her paid job, she will be isolated from the society, and thus ignorant of不知道 the latest happenings in the world while her husband who fully participates in various social activities will be well-informed消息灵通的, 熟悉的, 博识的, 见闻广博的 and upgraded concerning taste and knowledge. Consequently, the couple will have difficulties communicating with each other. Ths may lead to serious family crisis.

Last but not least, a married woman, when quitting from the job, will lose economic independence, which is most important in case of divorce. As the divorce rate is growing higher and higher in today's society, women need to have a career so that they will have a means to support themselves and their children when marriage breaks up分裂.

In conclusion, a career enables women to live a fuller and safer life. They should have their own career for the well-being康乐, 安宁, 福利 of themselves and their families.

Should College Students be allowed to Change Their Majors Midway?

For a long time, universities in China adopt a rigid policy on students' selected major. Students can apply for several majors at a number of colleges or universities before they are enrolled into the university. Once this process has been completed, it is very difficult for students to alter their choices. Now many universities start to reduce restraint on major shift. ……

Should College Students be Allowed to Change Their Majors Midway?

Most Chinese college students know how difficult it can be to change their majors midway through their studies. Now, some universities have adopted a more flexible policy which allows students to change their majors without restraint自由地, 无拘束地, 无节制地, providing they can meet the entrance requirements入学标准 of the course they wish to take. This has aroused a heated discussion. In my opinion, this alternation in major policy is good for students' development and should be practiced in all universities.

Firstly, reducing the limitations previously imposed on changing majors gives students another chance to select their careers with a mature outlook. It is well known that the majors many college students take are not what they are really interested in. As a result, some students have no zest 热情 in their major at all. In the past, students had to either struggle with their original choices or kill their time in desperation无可奈何地 and wait for the second choice in their postgraduate 研究生 studies. Therefore, restriction on changing major is in fact an artificial barrier for students' development and should be lifted.

Moreover, allowing students to shift to the major they are good at means better exploitation of their potential talent. Every student has his/her own passion and talent. Universities, as an important education institution, should try their best to help students to achieve their potential instead of suppressing镇压, 抑制 it. There are numerous outstanding figures in history that gave up their original major and achieved great success in the new major. For example, Yang Zhenning would not have won the Nobel Prize if he has stuck to experimental physics实验物理学.

In conclusion, we should provide students an opportunity to take a more decisive role in choosing their individual destiny. A flexible major policy can produce a win-win situation.

Is A College Degree Necessary In Today's World?

With the rapid increase in the cost of college, many people say that the costs of the 4-year college are not worth the return of the investment, and that many jobs do not require a college degree. Is a college degree necessary in today's world?

IS A COLLEGE DEGREE NECESSARY IN TODAY'S WORLD?

Because a 4-year college education requires a large commitment of time, effort, and money, many high school graduates decide not to go to college. They enter the work force immediately, or decide to go to a vocational职业的 or trade school instead of college. Is a college degree really necessary these days? Despite the expense and delay in entering the work force, I strongly believe that a 4-year college education is necessary and desirable in today's world.

One major reason to go to college is that college provides necessary academic background for a career. Durng four or more years in college, students have time and resources to explore many different areas in the humanities人文学科, social sciences, science, and professional fields such as business and engineering, and to take a variety of academic courses that will provide important background for particular careers.

A second important argument for the value of college is that people with college degrees have better job opportunities and higher income level than people who have only a high school or vocational school education, so college means a better quality of life. Job opportunities and starting salaries are generally excellent for people with college degrees while the employment outlook may not be so cheerful for those with only a high school diploma.

Also, college tends to provide a labor force with a certain knowledge and skill, which is beneficial to the advancement of our society. Students who exercise their minds and develop strategies to deal with hard problems over four years of college are likely to graduate with many skills and strategies that can be transferred to dealing with tasks later in life, both on the job and in their personal life. This will surely contribute to the progress of the world.

In summary, there are many good arguments in support of the value of a 4-year college education. All in all, the benefits far outweigh the problems and expense. I firmly believe that everyone who wants to have a bright future should go to college.

Why Do I Attend University?

Every summer hundreds of thousands of young students attend the college entrance examination, fighting hard to be among the lucky ones to enter universities. But have this large crowd asked themselves such a question: why do you want to go to university? It is dangerous if so many people try so hard to do something without clear purposes. For me, going to university can fulfill three important purposes.

The most direct motive for going to university is to secure a good job in the future. With the largest population in the world, China is certainly to be a gathering place of labor force. When there is more than enough labor force, one has to be extraordinary in order to succeed in the job market. As not all young people can go to university now, an education experience in university is sure to guarantee some advantages. If you open a classified advertisement, you may find that most of the well-paying jobs require a university degree or higher. Therefore, without university education, I cannot possibly find a decent job to support myself and my family.

Besides good job and income, a more important motive for going to university is to acquire knowledge. Since high school I have become increasingly interested in learning knowledge. I was usually fascinated by what teachers taught in various classes, and this curiosity drives me to know more. I have found that things taught in high school are just on very basic level. If I want to dig deeper, the best place is here at university. With the help of professors and books, I can learn the knowledge more thoroughly and systematically. I won't be satisfied with my life unless I can satisfy my curiosity for knowledge in university.

The most profound motive for going to university is to make some contributions. Due to the influence of my parents, I do not just want to just support myself in the society; I also want to do something for the society. Of course I don't have to go to university in order to make this contribution, but I find that more education can surely help me do it better. History reveals that those who have made more contributions are invariably better educated. Great figures like Newton, Einstein are all well educated. How can I make more contributions without university education?

Therefore, three motives drive me into the gate of my university. I come here for a good job, for more knowledge, and most importantly, for better contributions. I am sure with the knowledge I learn here, I will achieve the three purposes. And I am also sure that other people will also find university education rewarding to their life.

What Has Turned Us Into Cheaters?

"The writing topic for this year's CET-6 was revealed again before the day of testing." "A student has been expelled due to misbehavior in a final examination." This kind of titles has been very popular these days, and all these have revealed a public secret: cheating on exams. This behavior, which was denounced by almost all, is spreading at a high rate, and this has puzzles not only teachers but also the whole society. Then why do students cheat on exams? In my understanding, there are mainly three reasons,(namely unscientific testing, competition for scholarship, and pressure from future job hunting).

Some students cheat on exams to protest against the improper testing format. The purpose of university education should be teaching students to use knowledge to solve problems, therefore, exams and tests should test students' ability to use certain knowledge to solve some problems. But most tests in China just test understanding instead of application, and some exams are even worse because they only test students' memory. Some students think it unnecessary to spend time and effort to prepare for such exams, so the just cheat in order to get a decent score, which in their mind, means nothing. Dr. Wang who specializes in education assessment supported this view in one paper, and he said that teachers should blame themselves because they forced students to cheat.

More students cheat on exams in order to struggle for scholarship. As universities are collecting tuition from students, they also increase the amount of scholarship. This money of course is very attractive to students, who have virtually no income. As scholarship is mostly decided by examination scores, students willing to get the money will try every means possible. In a recent survey, some good students admitted that they cheat on exams because "if most students are cheating, it is unfair when you choose not to". This probably represents a breach of traditional ethics, and is a more important reason than conscientious protest against improper tests.

The most important reason, in my mind, should be the pressure from job hunting. In the past few years the situation in the job market is deteriorating, and this forces students to prepare as early as possible. Due to its importance, students naturally want to make their reports more attractive, and one way to realize it is cheating. As a student said in a news report, students are aware of the cost of being caught, but the profit of not being caught is too much, so many of them just "go ahead". Maybe it is not unreasonable to say that it is the society that makes students cheaters.

To sum up, the desires to get a good job and a high scholarship, or simply to signal a protest in current education, have forced us students to copy in exams. It is undeniable that some suffer from weak moral principles, but it is wrong to blame them only. Only when the society and the university find the real source of the problem and deal with it can we restore the traditional criticism against cheating.

Although still much lower than in foreign countries, the percentage of university students taking part-time jobs in China is on the increase. Some people criticize these students on the ground that part-time jobs distract转移 students' attention and expose students too early to the issue of money. However, I firmly believe that working during university education can be very beneficial to students.

First of all, taking part-time jobs can help reduce the financial burden of the students' families. Generally speaking, the income of most parents is not very high. As many universities are increasing their tuition, the education of their children is becoming an increasingly heavy burden for many parents. Some parents in the cities find it hard to pay this cost, not to mention those parents in the countryside. But if students can take some part-time jobs, their income can cover part of the expenditure, thus lowering the burden of their parents. One of my classmates pay for daily expenses completely from his own earnings, and both his parents and he are very proud of it.

Furthermore, taking part-time jobs can teach students much about hardship. Chinese students are mostly the only child at home, and their requests are usually met at any cost. This advantage actually deprives these children of the opportunity to experience hardship, which can teach them a lot about the society. By taking some part-time jobs, students can not only learn that it is hard to earn even a little money, but also learn to cultivate a correct viewpoint about life.

Most importantly, doing part-time jobs can sharpen students' awareness of the society. If students spend all their time on study, they will not have sufficient understanding of the society, and this insufficient knowledge may be dangerous when these students leave university for the society. But through part-time work, students will not only get a good understanding of the society and prepare themselves psychologically for the future career and life, but gain much experience in dealing with realities and people of different kinds.

It is true that taking part-time jobs will take away some time that can be spent on study and that it is not good for students to focus their mind on money. But it is equally true that taking part-time jobs can bring students the benefits of less financial burden, more experience of hardship as well as more awareness of the society. They definitely surpass the harms of the work. What we should do is to teach students to arrange their time well and not to focus too much on money, and then encourage them to take part-time jobs.

Is Home The Best?

Whether university students, who are already adults, should be allowed to live in rented flats out of campus has been debated for some time. Recently the Ministry of Education has issued a formal document in which it expressed its approval. This naturally intensifies the debate. In my opinion, living on campus is much better than living away from universities because it helps students with their study, their life as well as their understanding of the society.

First of all, living on campus can help students study better. Those who prefer to live off campus usually say that living in a rented flat means that they can manage their own time without interruption from others, and this can help their study. These may be true; but by living on campus, students can stay closer to study facilities such as the library and language lab, thus getting more information and training. Besides, they can have more discussion and group activities, and this is very important to put knowledge to use.

Secondly, living on campus can help students live a richer life. Students who live off campus say that they can stay closer to shopping centers or cinemas, so they can enjoy a colorful life rather than the boring life at school. But this is wrong. Shopping or seeing movies is not the lifestyle suitable to students because they are distractive, time-consuming and expensive. On the other hand, there are a lot of facilities on campus which promise a colorful life. For example, on most campuses students can find cinemas, swimming pools, tennis courts, etc. These facilities are less expensive or even free. Besides, there are usually some clubs on campus where students can learn from each other, but students can seldom do so if they live off campus.

Lastly, living on campus can help create real friendship. Students who prefer to live away from school argue that they can stay closer to society, meeting different kinds of people, and become more mature. But this again is a misconception. On the one hand, they cannot spend enough time on these people, therefore cannot really know them well enough. On the other hand, as university students are young, they should first learn to stay with people of similar age. By living in the same place for four years, students can learn to observe, understand, and deal with different kinds of contemporaries, and build real friendship with some of them. This is more important than staying with various residents in the same building.

There is no denying that university students are adults, and their freedom and rights should be respected. The recent decision of the Ministry of Education is exactly a case to the point. But considering the benefits on students' study, life and understanding of the society, I strongly suggest those who plan to live off campus to think before they leap. Anyway, for university students, university is their home, and as the saying goes,” East or west, home is the best".

Interview---A Chance to View the Outer Part, But Not the Core

As a senior student in university, I have gone through many interviews---interview to recruit new club members, interview for internship实习医师, 实习医师期 and so on. In my opinion, the procedure of recruitment is like choosing apples---viewing resumes is liking picking up apples, you can only decide the appearances, or in other words, whether there are obvious flaws. Interview is like the first bite, by which you know the real taste of an apple. But only by eating all the apple can you see the core. That is to say, only by working with a person for some time, can you judge a person. So to me, interview can help us to get a basic knowledge about a person and is indispensable in recruitment but it has its limitations.

Interview is most helpful in the aspect that it provides interviewer a chance to observe something that resumes can not tell, for example, How the interviewee behaves? Is he/she nervous under pressure? Does he/she has excellent communication skills like eye contact? These things might be very important. Because some job might ask more than one's academic knowledge it might also require the ability of dealing with people and so on. Another important function of interview is that it can help interviewer to decide whether the interviewee lied in his/her resume. As we all know, under hot completion, in order to get more chances, some people tend to lie in their resumes about their experiences and so on. But in an interview, interviewer could ask questions related with interviewee's experiences. If the experiences are made-up, it's easy to detect. The last advantage of interview I want to list here is that it can be carried out in different forms for different purposes for example, pressure interview--- to see how a person react under harsh conditions, group interview--- to see how a person act in a team and so on. Thus, by arranging an interview in a particular form, a company can find out the person most suitable for the job.

But interviews have their limitations. You can not find out all about a person in only a few hours like that some apple might appear good and taste sweet but bad in the core.

In summary I want to point out that interview is an efficient way for companies to choose their employs but only by observing the long term performance, can you judge an employee.

英语写作中常见错误与分析及技巧

一.不一致(Disagreements)

所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致时态不一致及代词不一致等.

例1. When one have money ,he can do what he want to .(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么.)

剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has ;同理,want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致.

改为:Once one has money ,he can do what he wants (to do)

二.修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)

英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化.对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解.例1. I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.

剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末.

三.句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)

在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解.可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生. 例1. There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .

剖析:本句后半部分"for example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句.

改为:There are many ways to know society ,for example ,by TV ,radio ,and newspaper.

四.悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)

所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清.例如:At the age of ten, my grandfather died.这句中"at the age of ten"只点出十岁时,但没有说明”谁”十岁时.按一般推理不可能是my grandfather,如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了.

改为:When I was ten, my grandfather died.

例1. To do well in college, good grades are essential.

剖析:句中不定式短语“to do well in college”的逻辑主语不清楚.

改为:To do well in college, a student needs good grades.

五.词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)

“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等.

例1. None can negative the importance of money.

剖析:negative系形容词,误作动词。

改为:None can deny the importance of money.

六.指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)

指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。

看下面这一句:

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.

(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)

读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:

37

专八作文范文及写作套路

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.

例1. And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.

剖析:句中人称代词we和反身代词yourself指代不一致。

改为:We can also know society by serving it ourselves.

七.不间断句子(Run-on Sentences)

什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。

例1. There are many ways we get to know the outside world.

剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“There are many ways.”以及“We get to know the outside world.”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。

改为:There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world.或:

There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world

八.措词毛病(Troubles in Diction)

Diction是指在特定的句子中如何适当地选用词语的问题,囿于教学时间紧迫,教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限,影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲,斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲,拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。

例1. The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.

(农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。)

剖析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing use (不断增加的使用)”应改为“abusive use (滥用)”。

改为:The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.

九.累赘(Redundancy)

言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词;写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组;能用词组的不用从句或句子。如:

In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.

本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:In spite of his laziness, I like him.

例1. For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need. 剖析:整个句子可以大大简化。

改为:Diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need.

十.不连贯(Incoherence)

不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通。这也是考生常犯的毛病。

例1. The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.

剖析:The fresh water与逗号后的it不连贯。It与things在数方面不一致。

改为:Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.

十一.综合性语言错误(Comprehensive Misusage)

所谓“综合性语言错误”,是指除了上述十种错误以外,还有诸如时态,语态,标点符号,大小写等方面的错误。

例1.Today, Money to everybody is very importance, our?s eat, cloth, live, go etc.(magaworld)

一 开头万能公式:1. 开头万能公式一:名人名言有人问了,“我没有记住名言,怎么办?尤其是英语名言?”,很好办:编!原理:我们看到的东西很多都是创造出来的,包括我们欣赏的文章也是,所以尽管编,但是一定要听起来很有道理呦!而且没准将来我们就是名人呢!对吧?经典句型:A proverb says, “ You are only young once.” (适用于已记住的名言)It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever. (适用于自编名言)更多经典句型:As everyone knows, No one can deny that…

2。开头万能公式二:数字统计原理:要想更有说服力,就应该用实际的数字来说明。原则上在议论文当中不应该出现虚假数字的,可是在考试的时候哪管那三七二十一,但编无妨,只要我有东西写就万事大吉了。所以不妨试用下面的句型:According to a recent survey, about 78.9% of the college students wanted to further their study after their graduation.

看起来这个数字文邹邹的,其实都是编造出来的,下面随便几个题目我们都可以这样编造:Honesty 根据最近的一项统计调查显示,大学生向老师请假的理由当中78%都是假的。Travel by Bike

根据最近的一项统计调查显示,85%的人在近距离旅行的时候首选的交通工具是自行车。Youth

根据最近的一项统计调查显示,在某个大学,学生的课余时间的70%都是在休闲娱乐。Five-day Work Week Better than Six-day Work?

根据最近的一项统计调查显示,98%的人同意每周五天工作日。更多句型:A recent statistics shows that …

二 结尾万能公式:

1. 结尾万能公式一:如此结论

说完了,毕竟要归纳一番,相信各位都有这样的经历,领导长篇大论,到最后终于冒出个“总而言之”之类的话,我们马上停止开小差,等待领导说结束语。也就是说,开头很好,也必然要有一个精彩的结尾,让读者眼前一亮,这样,你就可以拿高分了!比如下面的例子:

Obviously(此为过渡短语), we can draw the conclusion that good manners arise from politeness and respect for others.

如果读者很难“显而见之”,但说无妨,就当读者的眼光太浅罢了!

更多过渡短语:

to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, on account of this, thus

更多句型:

Thus, it can be concluded that…, Therefore, we can find that…2. 结尾万能公式二:如此建议

如果说“如此结论”是结尾最没用的废话,那么“如此建议”应该是最有价值的废话了,因为这里虽然也是废话,但是却用了一个很经典的虚拟语气的句型。拽!

Obviously, it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.

这里的虚拟语气用得很经典,因为考官本来经常考这个句型,而如果我们自己写出来,你说考官会怎么想呢?更多句型:

Accordingly, I recommend that some measures be taken.

Consequently, to solve the problem, some measures should be taken.

写作绝招二(写作的七项基本原则)

一、 长短句原则

工作还得一张一驰呢,老让读者读长句,累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子,相反,却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主题:

As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

如此可见,长短句结合,抑扬顿挫,岂不爽哉?牢记!

强烈建议:在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短,且先长后短;在文章主体部分,要先用一个短句解释主要意思,然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式,定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、 主题句原则

国有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学,故意把主体隐藏在文章之内,结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾,让读者一目了然,必会平安无事!

特别提示:隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、 一 二 三原则

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。破解方法很简单,只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推荐,原因:俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐,原因:俗)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐,原因:俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐,原因:俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)8)most important of all, moreover, finally

9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

建议:不仅仅在写作中注意,平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

四、 短语优先原则

写作时,尤其是在考试时,如果使用短语,有两个好处:其一、用短语会使文章增加亮点,如果老师们看到你的文章太简单,看不到一个自己不认识的短语,必然会看你低一等。相反,如果发现亮点—精彩的短语,那么你的文章定会得高分了。其二、关键时刻思维短路,只有凑字数,怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如:

I cannot bear it.

可以用短语表达:I cannot put up with it.

I want it.

45

可以用短语表达:I am looking forward to it.

这样字数明显增加,表达也更准确。

五、 多实少虚原则

原因很简单,写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西,不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词,少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。比如我们说一个很好的时候,不应该之说nice这样空洞的词,应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之类的形象词。再比如:

走出房间,general的词是:walk out of the room

但是小偷走出房间应该说:slip out of the room

小姐走出房间应该说:sail out of the room

小孩走出房间应该说:dance out of the room

老人走出房间应该说:stagger out of the room

所以多用实词,少用虚词,文章将会大放异彩!

六、 多变句式原则

1)加法(串联)

都希望写下很长的句子,像个老外似的,可就是怕写错,怎么办,最保险的写长句的方法就是这些,可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。比如说:

I enjoy music and he is fond of playing guitar.

如果是二者并列的,我们可以用一个超级句式:

Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.

其它的短语可以用:

besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2)转折(拐弯抹角)

批评某人缺点的时候,我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点,然后转入正题,再说缺点,这种方式虽然阴险了点,可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢,我们说话的时候,只要在要点之前先来点废话,注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.

The coat was thin, but it was warm.

更多的短语:

despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding

3)因果(so, so, so)

昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩,然后我主动搭讪,然后我们去咖啡厅,然后我们认识了,然后我们成为了朋友…可见,讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序,先什么,后什么,所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系!

The snow began to fall, so we went home.

更多短语:

then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4)失衡句(头重脚轻,或者头轻脚重)

有些人脑袋大,身体小,或者有些人脑袋小,身体大,虽然我们不希望长成这个样子,可如果真的是这

46

样了,也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这样的句子,就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。其实就是主语从句,表语从句,宾语从句的变形。

举例:This is what I can do.

Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.

同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分:

When to go, Why he goes away…

5)附加(多此一举)

如果有了老婆,总会遇到这样的情况,当你再讲某个人的时候,她会插一句说,我昨天见过他;或者说,就是某某某,如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面,那就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。 The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.

I don?t enjoy that book you are reading.

Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

其实很简单,同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句—借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中,但是whom or that 关键词必须要紧跟在先行词之前。

6)排比(排山倒海句)

文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此,如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话,那么我希望你引用一个个的排比句,一个个得对偶句,一个个的不定式,一个个地词,一个个的短语,如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.

We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (气势恢宏)

要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!

七、 挑战极限原则

既然十挑战极限,必然是比较难的,但是并非不可攀!

原理:在学生的文章中,很少发现诸如独立主格的句子,其实也很简单,只要花上5分钟的时间看看就可以领会,它就是分词的一种特殊形式,分词要求主语一致,而独立主格则不然。比如:

The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.

如果您可一些出这样的句子,不得高分才怪!

写作绝招三(文章主体段落三大杀手锏)

一、举实例

思维短路,举实例!提出一个观点,举实例!提出一个方案,举实例!而且者也是我们揭示一个观点最好的方式,任何情况下,只要我们无法继续文章,不管三七二十一,尽管举例子!

In order to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted every possible simulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light, colours, cartoon films and human performance. For instance, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress to sit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fime him or her.更多句型:

To take … as an example, One example is…, Another example is…, for example

二、做比较方法:写完一个要点,比较与之相似的;又写完一个要点,再比较与之相反的;

世界上没有同样的指纹,没有相同的树叶,文章亦同,只有通过比较,你才会发现二者的相同点(through comparison)和不同点(through contrast)。下面是一些短语:

相似的比较:

in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner

相反的比较:

on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with …, …

三、换言之没话说了,可以换一句话再说,让你的文章在多一些字,或者文邹邹地说,是让读者更充分的理解你的观点。实际就是重复重复再重复!下面的句子实际上就三个字 I love you!

I am enthusiastic about you. That is to say, I love you.

I am wild about you. In other words, I have fallen in love with you.

或者上面我们举过的例子:I cannot bear it.

可以用短语表达:I cannot put up with it.

因此可以这样说:I cannot bear it. That is to say, I cannot put up with it or I am fed up with it.

更多短语:

in more difficult language, in simpler words, put it more simply
