Without moral educa

8、tion , the society is teeming with irresponsible behavior while young people are not likely to lead a meaning and fulfilling lifeTopic26Schools should concentrate on the academic subjects that will be useful for students future careers Subjects such as music and sports are not useful. To what extent

9、 do you agree or disagreeIn recent years, there is a trend among schools toward removing subjects such as arts and physical education from the curriculum, because there subjects do not have a direct relation with students future occupations It lies in the fact that education is valued by people only

10、 when it improves students employability. Although music and sport are not directly related to careers , these subjects have countless benefits to students success in their careersThe idea that music is important childrens development has been widely accepted First of all, music can enhanee intellig

The use of musical instruments enables students to gain an understanding of how to coordinate different parts of bodies, the advantage of that students who can use musical instruments proficiency can tackle different tasks in adulthood It is also important to realize that music can bridge the

12、gap among you ng people, regardless of race , natio nally and gender.

16、 27Some people think that children should obey the rules set by their parents and teachers, but others think that less control will help children to deal with their future adult life. Discuss both views and give your own opinionRule-setting has long been a method adopted by teachers and parents to d

17、iscipline and educate children. Although this method is extensively used, its advantages and disadvantages are still a matter of debate. In my opinion, the rule is a double-edged sword, which can help or hurt us, so what matters most is how to use it.The main function of rules is to hold children ac

18、countable for their behavior, so they will follow behavioral norms, rather than behave badly. Unlike adults, children are not aware of the consequences of their behavior. By following rules, children will gradually develop in an idea of how to cat in a socially acceptable manner For example, childre

19、n will do their best to avoid aggressive behavior and foul language , once they realize that those actors are not likely to be acceptable by other people. Only after they grow up, will they have knowledge and experience to evaluate choices and act responsibility.Sometimes rules may not have a positi

20、ve influence on children, if those parents who establish the strict rules overemphasis childrens obedienee. Children rely on rules to such a degree that they are not able to solve problems independently. Children either do not have confidence in their decision making abilities or have courage to put

21、 their ideas into practice When facing problems, children turn to parents for advice, fearing what they do can have dire consequences They will be at a disadvantage in a highly competitive society, where they need to show the ability to tackle different problems.Considering these factors, I believe

22、that rules are important, since rules can prepare children for their adulthood However, if the rules are excessively strict, many problems will appear.Topic 28It is better for students to study at a boarding school than to live with parents To what extent do you agree or disagreeThere seems to be en

23、dless debate about the advantages and disadvantages of boarding schools Some people think that parents have a great impact on children during formative years, but it seems that many parents opt to send children to boarding school.Boardi ng schools ben efit childre ns developme nt by providing a stab

24、le environment in which children are monitored and supported by teachers For those parents who frequently relocate due to their work assignments, the boarding school can be an ideal choice In the absence of parents* company, children need to manage their daily life independently. This offers an expl

25、anation of why students who study in boarding schools are more self-reliant and disciplined than those in day schools. Besides, boarding schools have many extra-curricular activities (including sport)that nurture childrens all-round development.The main objection to boarding schools is that children

26、s interaction with parents decline and their emotional bonds weaken Children will feel helpless and homesick when they attempt to adjust to a new environment The problem is particularly serious in these schools with a high student-to -teacher ratio as students7 emotional needs are ignored It is also

27、 worth noting that students social exposure is limited , because they are confined to schools Children may not have social skills which means that they have no idea how to communicate or work with others in futureWhen considering the influence of boarding schools on children , we can conclude that t

28、hese schools are not suitable for you ng childre n , in view of these childrens dependenee on parents. For middle school students, boarding schools not only improve their adaptability but also enable their parents to concentrate on their jobsTopic 29Some people who have been successful in the societ

29、y do not attribute their success to the theoretical knowledge they learned from their university. Do you agree that theoretical knowledge is not as valuable as expectedPeople have long been doubtful/ uncertain about the contribution of theoretical knowledge to career success This is understandable d

30、ue to the fact that a considerable number of people who do not have a university qualification have been successful. Of those factors that determine ones success, theoretical knowledge is one of the most importantTheoretical knowledge is well-known for its ability to help people to gain a full under

31、standing of concepts and principles of different subjects, so people can become professional in these fields. For example, a psychiatrist can identify effective therapies, provided that he or she un d erst a nds all therapies which account for human behavior. Many theories have developed on the basi

32、s of empirical knowledge, so these theories have practical implications and those who master these theories could have a better job prospect.Another advantage of learning theories is that it can improve peoples practical abilities, and even the ability to solve problems creatively. Theoretical knowl

33、edge could broaden peoples minds, and improve critical thinking skills # thus empowering people to push forward the boundaries of knowledge with different theories In contrast, those who do not have university qualifications can rely on rules of thumb to solve some general problems but feel helpless

34、 when facing some unusual problemsMeanwhile, we should recognize the fact that theoretical knowledge is not the only determinant of success and many successful people are found to have some personality traits in comm on. An optimistic, hardworking and sociable pers on is able to overcome difficultie

35、s and cooperate with others to achieve success. Another factor might be the social network, by which people can receive information, draw upon ideas and gain access to resources. Other peoples knowledge is normally verified in real life and may not be available in textbooksThe value of higher educat

36、ion has not yet been recognized correctly, although theories improve peoples problem solving abilities On the other hand, we need to admit that personality and social relationships are essential to success.Topic 30University students always focus on one specific subject, but some people think that u

37、niversities should encourage students to study a wide range of subjects in addition to their own subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.Higher education affords many people an approach to improve skills and expand knowledge. One topic of discussion is whether it is nece

38、ssary to study a number of subjects or one subject only. When deciding the number of subjects to learn, one should consider both his/her personal interests and employers requirements.Common senses tell that one is able to acquire more skills and knowledge if he/she enrolls for a variety of courses F

39、or example, is an accounting students is familiar with marketing and human resource management, he/she is well-informed about how accounting affects these aspects of a companys operation and vice versa Nowadays, it is increasingly evident that those who possess knowledge in different fields have a c

40、ompetitive advantage over those who are con versa nt with one subject on ly. It is also worth emphasizing that many un iversity stude nts are so you ng that they do not have a clear concept of their career paths. Therefore, the decision to dabble in different subjects is reas on able, as it allows s

41、tudents to discover their career interests gradually.The main advantage of focusing on one area of specialty is that students can concentrate their efforts on a specific area of interest and seek to become professional. This point of view is particularly valuable in those subjects that require learn

42、ers commitment for many years, such as medicine, law and engineering. Because of time constraints, students need to accept a compromise between width and depth of knowledge If an employer have a vacancy for an accounting clerk , whether or not job applicants studied art is not a matter of importance

43、. Needless to say students can pursue some subjects as their hobbies , instead of studying them at university z unless they have extra energy and time to spare.By discussing these factors, we can come to the conclusion that students can be encouraged to study different subjects so they can adapt to

44、a competitive workplace. It is certain that students can decide on the number of subjects with their career interests and personal needs taken into account.Topic 31Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in groups while others think that it is better to study alone Discuss both vie

45、ws and give your own opinionTeamwork activities have been strongly advocated by some schools, possibly because it has been recognized as one shared trait for successful enterprises. However; some people think that students should be given an environment where they study independent!y. These two ways

46、 learning have their respective advantages and disadvantages and serve different purposes.One prominent advantages of group study is that it enhances students social skills and teamwork skills In the team environment, members need to know how to cooperate and communicate with each other. This prepar

47、es students for the workplace , where teamwork is frequently required We are also convinced that members can share their knowledge and experience so as to improve learning outcomes Moreover, students can detect their knowledge gaps when answering questions raised by other classmates This benefit is

48、not achievable for those students who study independently.Despite these benefits, group study cannot gain support from teachers who emphasis students individual achievement. Group study may induce students rely excessively on their peers. It is important to bear in mind that in the real world, emplo

49、yers opt to employ extraordinary students , rather than recruiting a team In addition, group study may demotivate whose students who are driven by personal achievement. In some cases, if work is not distributed fairly and members roles are ambiguous, the group fails to achieve its objectives and sha

50、kes members7 confidence in teamworkIn the discussion of pros and cons of group study , we can come to the conclusion that it should be integrated with independent study. While improving students social skills and helping them to acquire knowledge , group work is likely to discourage independent stud

51、yTopic 32Volunteer work organized by middle school brings more benefits than problems. To what extent do you agree or disagreeVolunteer work has been widely promoted in many schools and even recognized as a requirement for graduation. Despite the fact that volunteer work has its downside, it is bene

52、ficial to the whole community and the people who participate in this serviceIt is clear that students can improve their skills and enrich their social experience by participating community service When providing community service, students will encounter numerous problems and challenges, which are rare at school, such as how to introduce c
