Directions: Some people say that the best preparation for life is learning to be competitive. Others take the opposite view and say that learning to be cooperative is the best preparation. Tell which one you agree with and explain why. (120-150 words)

Some institutions traditionally place more emphasis on the competitive spirit; others use cooperative methods. If I were forced to agree with just one of the two methods, my choice would be for a competitive environment.

The main reason why I feel that competition is important for the learner is that I know adult life to be difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity. The potentially successful job applicant has to weigh up the competition from others. He then has to place himself in a stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience.

A further reason why I advocate an attitude of competition is that people often make great efforts in a contest, particularly if there is a prize or chance of recognition. Official contests can provide a goal and framework for learning.

What is more, the essence of open competition is that, although we cannot win at everything, most of us do well in something. By attempting to compete at different activities, the student learns to win and to lose. He learns his strengths and his weakness.

To conclude, competitive learning prepares the student for the tough things in life. Once he is strong, he can begin to help others in a way that does not do harm to himself.

e.g. should women be regarded as inferior to men?

(1)

I never think that women should be treated as the second-class citizens. observing objectively, you’ll find that women have succeeded in virtually any existing occupation you care to name: politicians, soldiers, doctors, university professors, lawyers, business executives, scientists and even presidents of countries. today’s intense competition in jobs is not only between men, but also between men and the ’weaker sex’, who have often put men to shame in almost every field. yet men refuse to acknowledge them and give women their due, and their attitude towards women BEComes even more hostile. the only sound explanation for this is that men shun (回避，躲避) real competition-they are afraid of being beaten at the games that they consider to be their own.

if there is anything that men are better than women, it is their physical strength. no other things that men claim to excel in are borne out by statistics. physical strength excluded, the fact is that men and women are basically equal in all kinds of a

bilities except when it comes to language art and negotiation skills, at which women are better. you can be sure that if negotiation tasks were left to women who are gentler, more graceful and levelheaded, they would succeed brilliantly, where men have failed for centuries, and therefore war has been a frequent scene on this planet. believe it or not, it is women who could turn those filthy and bloody battlefields into lands of joy. so some things are too important to be left to men! (252 words)

(2)

it sounds pretty ridiculous to claim that men and women are equal and have the same abilities. men have excelled in every field of work. plato, freud, beethoven, einstein, pavarotti and li ning are the names of great men in different fields, to name just a few. can you effortlessly think up a woman’s name that can match those brilliant names? you may argue that you can name a dozen of great women athletes. well, yes. however, they look great simply because they have never run or played against men. see what happens if you group men and women together in the same race. women are justifiably called the weaker sex not only because they are physically weak, they are mentally fragile as well. they depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition and instinct to arrive at decisions. sometimes they are not even capable of thinking clearly. that is why they often gossip and chatter and scream whenever they talk, which men seldom do, and that is also why there are eMBArrassingly few women politicians in any country you can think of. big decisions are always left for men to make, for they are more reliable, rational, and levelheaded.

many women complain that they look inferior because they have never been offered equal opportunities in jobs. this may have been true in the long past, but not now. the fact is that jobs are open to both sexes, but it is almost impossible for women to be wives, mothers and successful career women all at once. actually most women are glad to let men support their families. they know that bearing and rearing children are more important. and that is why men outnumber women in practically every kind of job. they are not excluded; they exclude themselves. (299 words)

Graduates’ pressure in finding jobs

Nowadays, more and more university graduates complain that graduation does not equate to employment. They experience great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs. What is the cause of this phenomenon

In my opinion, there are four causes:

First, graduates lack experience. They spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and lack relevant job training. Only after graduation do they realize it’s hard to find jobs.

Second, competition among graduates grows more bitter and more bitter and bitter. The supply of university graduates exceeds social demand. This results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.

Third, some students don’t study hard. Some of them skip classes just because they have no interest in certain subjects. Some play computer games or pursue other interests. Some sleep in class or in the library. Then they leave the sheltered environment of the university campus, to discover they don’t have adequate knowledge to apply for many positions, which makes them feel lost and frustrated.

Finally, some graduates are conceited. They lack experience but ask for a high salary, which is impractical.

So, university students should try their best to change this situation. When they are in school, they should make the most of their time and put their heart into their studies. They can hold part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant work experience. They should take part in some social activities and provide themselves with special training, if possible. When they graduate and apply for jobs, they should attach more importance to accumulating experience than to their starting salary.

On University Students’ Pressure in Finding Jobs

About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory and enviable jobs after their graduation. But now, things are different. Today's university students usually have much pressure in finding fairly good jobs. They always say disappointedly that graduation means joblessness. Why nowadays university students have so much pressure in finding jobs?

In my opinion, this kind of pressure is mainly caused by three reasons. Firstly, the government is enrolling more and more university students year by year. And the growth of the students' number has surpassed that of the need of the society. So, when so many students graduate at a time, the chance of finding jobs becomes tiny. Secondly, today's university students, most of them are the "only-child", who are more mentally frail. Since they are indulged greatly at home and haven't been trained to do things on their own, once it is their turn to go out of the campus and find jobs by themselves and decide what kind of jobs to choose, they feel bewildered and don't know what to do. If their first try fails, they will be frustrated and think that it is really hard to find jobs. Thirdly, some university students are not qualified for good and challenging jobs. After entering the university, they don't study as hard as they did in high schools. They begin to sleep during the class or even be absent for classes. Some are addicted to computer games or Jin Yong's novels, or step into the two-person-world too early. Because these things have taken up so much of their time and energy, their study is neglected. After four years of university life, they haven't gained the knowledge those fairly good jobs or certain positions require.
