People are now used to reading online newspaper on their smart phones, and no one has the patience of waiting for

14、the printed newspaper. Online newspaper is also environment-friendly, which is in accord with the trend of saving energy in todays world. The printed newspaper consumes a large number of natural resources, and will, in the long term, be gradually replaced. The multiple services, such as posting comm

Traditional newspaper can hardly compete in this sense. EXERCISE 2 . 10 NO There are still a large number of people in the world who have no access to the Int

EXERCISE 3 . 16 TermtimeholidayswillbeBanned Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, from taking their children out of school to save money on h

26、olidays. He is to abolish the right of head teachers to “authorise absence” from the classroom, which has been used to let families take term-time breaks, and will warn them they face fines for their children not being at school. “Any time out of school has the potential to damage a childs education

27、,” a senior source at the Department for Education said this weekend. “That is why the government will end the distinction between authorised and unauthorised absence.” . 17 “This is part of the governments wider commitment to bring down truancy levels in our schools. There will also be stricter pen

28、alties for parents and schools.” The tough measures on truancy are part of a wider attempt by Mr. Gove to make education more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture in the educational establishment which he believes has accepted “excuses for failure.” Russell Hobby, the general secretary of t

29、he National Association of Head Teachers, said the measure would discourage parents from trying to put pressure on heads to sanction term time holidays.“The high cost of holidays outside of term time is still an issue but ultimately a childs education is more important than a holiday,” he said. . 18

30、 WhichIsMoreImportant,Educationora CheaperHoliday? sample 1 New research has shown that almost four out of ten parents in the UK have taken their children out of school to go on holidays. Cost is the main reason given by parents for sacrificing their childrens education. Parents are to be banned, ho

31、wever, by UKs Education Authority, from taking their children out of school for holiday during term time. . 19 To begin with, taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normal teaching process, one of the key elements to guarantee kids academic performance. As we know, current

32、ly, teachers have the discretion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each child, which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays. By definitely abolishing the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom, those teachers can rare

33、ly be pestered by parents who want to take children to go on a holiday just to save money, which severely disrupts teaching process. What s more, without strict penalties imposed on the parents who lead to their kids playing truant, those parents can gradually view asking for holiday leave as a righ

34、t. Once this cultural expectation is formed, the level of truancy will dramatically increase. . 20 Accordingly, the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay. In this way, teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving money at the

35、 expense of sacrificing their kids education. . 21 Sample 2 When it comes to whether parents should take their children to spend holidays during term-time, views on the issue vary from person to person. Parents claim that by doing so, they can save a lot of money born of busy school holidays. Educational officials strongly oppose this tendency on the ground that it encourages truancy, which in turn damages a childs education. From my perspective, the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits. . 22 Should
