1、.;Topic 25Some people think schools should only teach students academic subjects. Others thinkschools should also teach students how to discriminate between right and wrong.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.The school has long been regarded as the place that improves peoples careerprospec

2、ts and generates personal wealth. This notion has been, however, beenrefuted by many people who believe that education should include and emphasizemoral education. In my opinion, students who have behavioral problems cannotachieve success easily, regardless of their academic performance.Many teacher

3、s believe that students should focus on core subjects, as these coursesdecide whether they can get into college later. The knowledge that is acquired in thesecountries can provide a flying start in students career development. If students needto spend time studying moral principles and behavioral no

4、rms, they feel timepressure.There is no denying that moral education can raise students awareness of someimportant virtues, such as honesty, integrity and altruism , which are crucial to socialprogress and social cohesion. If students recognize these virtues, they wouldunderstand how to get along wi

5、th other people and how to care about others benefits.In this way , they can apply their knowledge to make contribution to society , and willform meaningful relationships with others.Personally , I think that students understanding of morality determines their success.This not improves their behavio

6、r at school but also prevents some behavior problems,such as smoking, drinking and sexual behavior and so on. These problems will affecttheir students and cause irreparable(impossible to repair or make right again )damage to their career development. For example, if students do not realize theimpact

7、 of excessive drinking , this habit may influence their working performance andtheir home life after they reach adulthood.In view of the importance of moral education to social development and personalachievement, it should be included in schools curriculum. Without moral education ,the society is t

8、eeming with irresponsible behavior while young people are not likely tolead a meaning and fulfilling life.;Topic26Schools should concentrate on the academic subjects that will be useful for studentsfuture careers. Subjects such as music and sports are not useful. To what extent do youagree or disagr

9、ee?In recent years, there is a trend among schools toward removing subjects such asarts and physical education from the curriculum, because there subjects do not have adirect relation with students future occupations. It lies in the fact that education isvalued by people only when it improves studen

10、ts employability. Although musicand sport are not directly related to careers , these subjects have countless benefitsto studentssuccess in their careers.The idea that music is important childrens development has been widely accepted.First of all, music can enhance intelligence. The use of musical i

11、nstruments enablesstudents to gain an understanding of how to coordinate different parts of bodies,the advantage of that students who can use musical instruments proficiency cantackle different tasks in adulthood. It is also important to realize that music canbridge the gap among young people, regar

12、dless of race , nationally and gender.Music can foster the culture of cooperation among teenagers as they are required tocollaborate with each other in a band or an orchestra. Music is also considered as ahealthy way of reliving stress , because it can lighted ones mood and reduceanxiety.PE also has

13、 a beneficial effect on childs physical and mental health. Students whoengage in physical activity can constantly maintain a healthy weight and havestamina to handle their schoolwork. This is particularly important , consideringthat young people are increasingly addicted to the sedentary activity ,

14、such asplaying video games. Similar to music, sports , including team sports, placeemphasis on cooperation , so social bonding can be strengthened among players.Furthermore, students who exercise habitually normally have a positive attitude tolife, which enables them to cope with stress easily.In li

15、ght of these factors, we should acknowledge the implication of music andsports to students future career success. Music can develop students intellectualskills and social skills , while sports are able to improve students physical health andself esteem.;Topic 27Some people think that children should

16、 obey the rules set by their parents andteachers, but others think that less control will help children to deal with their futureadult life. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Rule-setting has long been a method adopted by teachers and parents todiscipline and educate children. Although th

17、is method is extensively used, itsadvantages and disadvantages are still a matter of debate. In my opinion, the ruleis a double-edged sword, which can help or hurt us, so what matters most is howto use it.The main function of rules is to hold children accountable for their behavior, so theywill foll

18、ow behavioral norms, rather than behave badly. Unlike adults, children arenot aware of the consequences of their behavior. By following rules, children willgradually develop in an idea of how to cat in a socially acceptable manner. Forexample, children will do their best to avoid aggressive behavior

19、 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 evaluatechoices and act responsibility.Sometimes rules may not have a positive influence on children, if those parents whoestabl

20、ish the strict rules overemphasis childrens obedience. Children rely on rulesto such a degree that they are not able to solve problems independently. Childreneither do not have confidence in their decision making abilities or have courage toput their ideas into practice. When facing problems, childr

21、en turn to parents for advice,fearing what they do can have dire consequences. They will be at a disadvantage ina highly competitive society, where they need to show the ability to tackle differentproblems.Considering these factors, I believe that rules are important, since rules can preparechildren

22、 for their adulthood. However, if the rules are excessively strict, manyproblems will appear.;Topic 28It is better for students to study at a boarding school than to live with parents. To whatextent do you agree or disagree？There seems to be endless debate about the advantages and disadvantages ofbo

23、arding schools. Some people think that parents have a great impact on childrenduring formative years, but it seems that many parents opt to send children toboarding school.Boarding schools benefit childrens development by providing a stable environmentin which children are monitored and supported by

24、 teachers. For those parents whofrequently relocate due to their work assignments, the boarding school can be an idealchoice. In the absence of parents company, children need to manage their daily lifeindependently. This offers an explanation of why students who study in boardingschools are more sel

25、f-reliant and disciplined than those in day schools. Besides,boarding schools have many extra-curricular activities (including sport)thatnurture childrens all-round development.The main objection to boarding schools is that childrens interaction with parentsdecline and their emotional bonds weaken.

26、Children will feel helpless andhomesick when they attempt to adjust to a new environment. The problem isparticularly serious in these schools with a high student-to teacher ratio as studentsemotional needs are ignored. It is also worth noting that students social exposure islimited , because they ar

27、e confined to schools. Children may not have social skills ,which means thatthey have no idea how to communicate or work with others infuture.When considering the influence of boarding schools on children , we can concludethat these schools are not suitable for young children , in view of these chil

28、drensdependence on parents. For middle school students, boarding schools not onlyimprove their adaptability but also enable their parents to concentrate on their jobs.;Topic 29Some people who have been successful in the society do not attribute their success tothe theoretical knowledge they learned

29、from their university. Do you agree thattheoretical knowledge is not as valuable as expected?People have long been doubtful/ uncertain about the contribution of theoreticalknowledge to career success. This is understandable due to the fact that aconsiderable number of people who do not have a univer

30、sity qualification have beensuccessful. Of those factors that determine ones success, theoretical knowledge isone of the most important.Theoretical knowledge is well-known for its ability to help people to gain a fullunderstanding of concepts and principles of different subjects, so people canbecome

31、 professional in these fields. For example, a psychiatrist can identify effectivetherapies, provided that he or she understands all therapies which account for humanbehavior. Many theories have developed on the basis of empirical knowledge, sothese theories have practical implications and those who

32、master these theories couldhave a better job prospect.Another advantage of learning theories is that it can improve peoples practicalabilities, and even the ability to solve problems creatively. Theoretical knowledgecould broaden peoples minds, and improve critical thinking skills , thusempowering p

33、eople to push forward the boundaries of knowledge with differenttheories. In contrast, those who do not have university qualifications can rely on rulesof thumb to solve some general problems but feel helpless when facing some unusualproblems.Meanwhile, we should recognize the fact that theoretical

34、knowledge is not the onlydeterminant of success and many successful people are found to have somepersonality traits in common. An optimistic, hardworking and sociable person isable to overcome difficulties and cooperate with others to achieve success. Anotherfactor might be the social network, by wh

35、ich people can receive information, drawupon ideas and gain access to resources. Other peoples knowledge is normallyverified in real life and may not be available in textbooks.The value of higher education has not yet been recognized correctly, although theoriesimprove peoples problem solving abilit

36、ies. On the other hand, we need to admit thatpersonality and social relationships are essential to success.;Topic 30University students always focus on one specific subject, but some people think thatuniversities should encourage students to study a wide range of subjects in addition totheir own sub

37、ject. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.Higher education affords many people an approach to improve skills and expandknowledge. One topic of discussion is whether it is necessary to study a number ofsubjects or one subject only. When deciding the number of subjects to learn

38、, oneshould consider both his/her personal interests and employersrequirements.Common senses tell that one is able to acquire more skills and knowledge if he/sheenrolls for a variety of courses. For example, is an accounting students is familiarwith marketing and human resource management, he/she is

39、 well-informed abouthow accounting affects these aspects of a companys operation and vice versa.Nowadays, it is increasingly evident that those who possess knowledge in differentfields have a competitive advantage over those who are conversant with one subjectonly. It is also worth emphasizing that

40、many university students are so young thatthey do not have a clear concept of their career paths. Therefore, the decision todabble in different subjects is reasonable, as it allows students to discover their careerinterests gradually.The main advantage of focusing on one area of specialty is that st

41、udents canconcentrate their efforts on a specific area of interest and seek to becomeprofessional. This point of view is particularly valuable in those subjects thatrequire learners commitment for many years, such as medicine, law andengineering. Because of time constraints, students need to accept

42、a compromisebetween width and depth of knowledge. If an employer have a vacancy for anaccounting clerk , whether or not job applicants studied art is not a matter ofimportance. Needless to say , students can pursue some subjects as their hobbies ,instead of studying them at university , unless they

43、have extra energy and time tospare.By discussing these factors, we can come to the conclusion that students can beencouraged to study different subjects so they can adapt to a competitive workplace.It is certain that students can decide on the number of subjects with their careerinterests and person

44、al needs taken into account.;Topic 31Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in groups while others thinkthat it is better to study alone. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Teamwork activities have been strongly advocated by some schools, possiblybecause it has been reco

45、gnized as one shared trait for successful enterprises.However, some people think that students should be given an environment where theystudy independently. These two ways learning have their respective advantagesand disadvantages and serve different purposes.One prominent advantages of group study

46、is that it enhances students social skillsand teamwork skills. In the team environment, members need to know how tocooperate and communicate with each other. This prepares students for the workplace ,where teamwork is frequently required. We are also convinced that members canshare their knowledge a

47、nd experience so as to improve learning outcomes. Moreover,students can detect their knowledge gaps when answering questions raised by otherclassmates.Thisbenefitisnotachievablefor thosestudentswhostudyindependently.Despite these benefits, group study cannot gain support from teachers whoemphasis st

48、udents individual achievement. Group study may induce students relyexcessively on their peers. It is important to bear in mind that in the real world,employers opt to employ extraordinary students , rather than recruiting a team. Inaddition, group study may demotivate whose students who are driven b

49、y personalachievement. In some cases, if work is not distributed fairly and membersroles areambiguous, the group fails to achieve its objectives and shakes members confidencein teamwork.In the discussion of pros and cons of group study , we can come to the conclusionthat it should be integrated with

50、 independent study. While improving studentssocial skills and helping them to acquire knowledge , group work is likely todiscourage independent study.;Topic 32Volunteer work organized by middle school brings more benefits than problems. Towhat extent do you agree or disagree?Volunteer work has been

51、widely promoted in many schools and even recognized as arequirement for graduation. Despite the fact that volunteer work has its downside, itis beneficial to the whole community and the people who participate in this service.It is clear that students can improve their skills and enrich their social experienceby participating community service. When providing community service, studentswill encounter numerous problems and challenges, which are rare at school, suchas how to introd
