About education

1.

Some

students

prefer

to

have

classes

in the morning and do their part-time jobs

in the evening. Others prefer to have

classes in the evening and do their

part-time job in the morning. Which do you

prefer and why? Use specific reasons and

examples to support your response.

Personally,

I

prefer

to

have

classes

in

the morning and do their part-time jobs in

the evening

First

of

all,

it

is

because

of

the

peer

pressure. You know, everyone in my class

chooses to study in the morning and work at

night. I don’t wanna be a weird person and

isolated from them. Therefor

e I’d like to

do the same as them and involve with them.

Secondly,

I

can

gain

more

knowledge

and

collecting information during the whole

process. For example, I am about to have a

better

understanding

of

the

meaning

of

life

and

the

importance

of

dream

and

future,

when

I do the part-time job after the difficult

classes,

so

that

I’ll

pay

more

attention

to

my academic performance and work.

In addition, according to the Times

magazine, the people who do part-time jobs

after classes are more likely to achieve

success. I certainly wanna be a successful

person, so I’d like to choose that.

2.

Some

students

prefer

to

review

their

notes regularly; while others prefer to

review their notes just before test. Which

do you prefer and explain why?

Personally, I prefer to review notes

regularly, it is because

First of all, I can save tons of time.

Specifically,

it

only

takes

me

30

minutes

to

remember

what

I

learned

if

I

review

my

notes

frequently.

However,

if

I

review

just

before

the

test,

I

will

spend

5

hours

recalling

the

knowledge. I think spending the time saved

reading

history

books

is

the

better

way

for

me to learn.

Also, it

is

because

peer

pressure.

You

know,

everyone

in

my

class

chooses

to

review

their notes regularly. I don’t wanna be a

weird person and isolated from them.

Therefore, I’d like to do the same and

involve with them.

In addition, according to the Times

magazine,

the

students

who

review

the

notes

regularly are more likely to get a great

score.

So, I’d like to review notes

regularly.

3. Some university students would

prefer to study full-time; others would

prefer to study part time. Which do you

prefer and why?

Personally,

I

prefer

to

study

part-time.

It is because

First

of

all,

I

can

gain

more

knowledge

and information during the whole process.

For instance, I can have a better

understanding

of

the

meaning

of

life

and

the

importance of dream and future. So, I will

pay more attention to my work and academic

performance and also make great

contribution to our society in the future.

Also, I can make more friends in

different background. We could have

pleasant conversation not only about the

academic information such as history,

biology and economics, but also about the

international events.

In addition, according to the Times

magazine,

the

people

who

study

part-time

are

more

likely

to

achieve

success.

I

certainly

wanna be a successful person, so I’d like

to study part-time.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the

following

statement?

Students

should

always

study

in

quiet

places.

Use

specific

reasons

and examples to support your position.

Personally, I absolutely agree. It is

because

First

of

all,

it

is

relaxing

and

quite,

so I can concentrate on the books, and get

a better understanding of the knowledge I

have

learned,

such

as

the

history

of

America,

the ideas of Plato.

Also, I would be able to save tons of

time. Specifically, it takes me only 30

minutes to do my homework if I study in a

quiet place such as library. However, if

I’d like to study with loud music, I will

spend

at

least

2

hours.

I

think

spending

the

time saved on reading books on history or

chemistry

is

considered

to

be

the

better

way

for me to relax.

In addition, according to the Times

magazine, the people who study in a quiet

place

are

more

likely

to

get

great

scores

in

the

exam.

I

certainly wanna

be

a

successful

person, so I’d like to study in quiet

places.

8. Some college students prefer to

attend classes regularly because they

believe that only in the class atmosphere

can they focus on the reading. Others,

however, believe that the best reading can

only be done outside the classroom. Which

and

quite,

so I can concentrate on the books, and get

a better understanding of the knowledge I

have

learned,

such

as

the

history

of

America,

the ideas of Plato.

Also, I would be able to save tons of

time. Specifically, it takes me only 30

minutes to remember what I want to learn if

I

study in

classroom.

However,

if

I’d

like

to

study

in

other

places

such

as

cafe,

I

will

spend

at

least

2

hours.

I

think

spending

the

time

saved

on

doing

exercises

is

considered

to be the better way for me to relax.

In addition, it is because peer

discussions makes students learn more. Use

smaller classes with discussion. Others

prefer

to

attend

larger

class

with

lecture.

Which

do

you

prefer

and

why?

Include

details

and examples in your explanation.

Personally,

I

prefer

to

attend

smaller

classes with discussion. It is because

First of all, I can have an easier

access to a huge amount of knowledge and

information

ranging

from

history

to

biology.

For

instance,

it’ll

be

easy

for

me

to

polish

my speaking and listening skills by

discussion. This can render me a good

opportunity to practice my English, and

eventually

put

me

in

a

favorable

position

in

the upcoming competition.

Also, I can make more friends in

different background. We could have

pleasant conversation not only about the

academic information such as history,

biology and economics, but also about the

international events.

In addition, during the process of

discussion, and I can learn some useful

interpersonal

skills

or

personality

such

as

honesty and persistence from others. This

can help me cooperate with others more

effectively, and offer me more

opportunities to make new acquaintance.

With more partners, I could be likely to

succeed.

think that they should do more practical

exercises outside classrooms. Use specific

reasons

and

examples

to

your

answer.

15. It has been said “Not everything

that is learned is contained in books.”

Compare and contrast knowledge gained from

experience

with

knowledge

gained

from

books.

In your opinion which source is more

important? Why? Use specific reasons and

examples to support your answer.

Personally, I absolutely agree. It is

because

First of all, teachers tend to

concentrate more on students’

academic

performance while if students do some

part-time

jobs,

they

will

get

more

knowledge

and

practical

skills,

which

can

be

the

most

important

part

in

their

life.

For

instance,

last

year

I

did

a

job

as

a

waitress

in

a

small

restaurant for a month. After that I got a

better

understanding

of

the

meaning

of

life

and career and the importance of dream and

future. So I will pay more attention to my

work and make great contribution to our

society

in

the

future.

As

you

know,

I

won’t

learn that if I just study in classroom.

Also, According to the Times magazine

in 2008, the people who do some practical

exercises outside classrooms are more

likely to achieve success in their later

time. Coz they will make more friends in

different

background

and

learn

various

good

personalities such as honesty and

persistence which play a key role in their

life.

7. Some students like to take online

courses. Others like to take traditional

classroom

courses.

Which

do

you

prefer?

Use

specific reasons and examples to support

your answer.

Personally, I prefer to study online.

It is because

First of all, it’s cheap and

economical. It can help me save a lot of

money coz I don’t need to pay the high

tuition

fee.

Specifically,

it

only

costs

200

Yuan

to

take

online

courses

at

home.

However,

if I want to study at school, it will cost

me at least 2000 Yuan. I hate squandering,

so I think it is awesome.

Also, it is convenient and I would be

able

to

save

tons

of

time.

You

know,

if

I’d

like to take traditional courses, I will

spend at least 1 hour going to school. I

think spending the time saved on reading

books

on

history

or

chemistry

is

considered

to be the better way for me to relax.

In addition, it is more eco-friendly.

According

to

the

Times

magazine

in

2008,

if

there are 50% of students take online

courses,

9. Some students prefer to go to

universities

or

colleges

in

their

own

cities

or towns. Others students prefer to go to

universities or colleges in new cities or

towns.

Which

do

you

prefer

and

why?

Include

details and examples in your explanation.

Personally, I prefer to go to

universities in a new city. It is because

First of all, I can make more friends

from different cities such as Beijing,

Shanghai. We could have pleasant

conversation not only about the academic

information such as history, biology and

economics,

but

also

about

the

international

events. And I can also learn some useful

interpersonal

skills

or

personality

such

as

honesty and persistence

Also,

it

can

definitely

help

me

improve

the understanding of the culture, custom,

history and many interesting stuff about a

different city. The deeper insight into

culture

can

not

only

broaden

my

horizon

but

also

help

me

comprehend

the

living

style

and

thinking mode of the local people.

In addition, it is because of the peer

pressure. You know, everyone in my class

chooses to study in a new city. I don’t

wanna be isolated from them. Therefore I

choose

to

do

the

same

thing

and

involve

with

them.

11. Some students prefer to study in a

big city. Others prefer to study in a small

city. Which do you prefer and why? Include

details and examples in your explanation.

Personally,

I

prefer

to

study

in

the

big

city. It is because

First of all, I can make more friends

in different background. We could have

pleasant conversation not only about the

academic information such as history,

biology and economics, but also about the

international events even some gossip.

Also, It is convenient and I would be

able

to

save

tons

of

time.

Specifically,

it

takes me only 10 minutes to go shopping in

the

big

c

ity.

However,

if

I’d

like

to

study

in a small town, I will spend at least 2

hours.

In addition, According to the Times

magazine

in

2008,

the

people

who

study

in

big

cities are more likely to achieve success.

Coz there are more job opportunities and

most leading corporations such as IBM and

Microsoft are located there.

16. Some people believe that the best

way of learning about life is by listening

to the advice of family and friends. Other

people

believe

that

the

best

way

of

learning

about life is through personal experience.

Which do you think is preferable? Use

specific examples to support your

preference.

Personally, I think the best way of

learning about life is by listening to the

advice

of

family

and

friends.

It

is

because

First of all, I can gain more

information and practical skills. Parents

and friends always have more life

experiences

such

as

how

to

make

friends

with

others, how to make fortune, so that by

listening to their advice, I can have a

better

understanding

of

the

meaning

of

life

and the importance of dream and future.

Also,

I

can

make

more

friends

during

the

whole process in different background. We

can have a pleasant conversation not only

about academic information but also about

the

international

events

such

as

economy

and

policy.

In addition to that, I can also learn

some useful interpersonal skills or

personality from them such as honesty and

persistence,

which

can

be

the

most

important

part of one’s life.

17.

Some

people

think

that

playing

team

sports

may

teach

children

to

be

competitive.

Others think that playing team sports may

teach children

to be cooperative. What’s

your opinion? Explain why.

I think playing team sports can teach

children to cooperate with others. It is

because

First

of

all,

they

can

make

more

friends

with

the

same

interest.

After

the

game,

they

could have pleasant conversation not only

about the academic information such as

history, biology and economics, but also

about the international events.

Also, during

the

process

of

team

games

such as football and basketball, their

interpersonal skills will improve

considerably. This can help they cooperate

with

others

more

effectively,

teach

they

how

to

solve

the

problems

with

friends

and

offer

them more opportunities to make new

acquaintance. With more partners, they are

more likely to succeed in the future

In

addition, according

to

the

New

York

Times

in

2008,

the

children

who

like

to

play

with others are more likely to cooperate

with the partners successfully in their

later time.

So, I think……

19. Some students prefer to be taught

by experienced teachers who have more

teaching experience. Other students prefer

to be taught by newly trained teachers who

have just begun to teach a course. Which of

these two methods do you prefer and why?

Include details and examples in your

explanation.

I

prefer

to

be

taught

by

an

experienced

teacher. It is because

First of all, I can have an easier

access to a huge amount of knowledge and

information

ranging

from

history

to

biology.

For

instance,

it’ll

be

easy

for

me

to

polish

my speaking and listening skills if my

English teacher is experienced. This can

render

me

a

good

opportunity

to

practice

my

English, and eventually put me in a

favorable position in the upcoming

competition.

Also,

I

can

abroad

my

horizon

during

the

whole process. For instance, I can have a

better

understanding

of

the

meaning

of

life

and

the

importance

of

dream

and

future.

So,

I will pay more attention to my academic

performance and also make great

contribution to our society in the future.

In

addition, according

to

the

New

York

Times in 2008, the students who are taught

by experienced teachers are more likely to

achieve success in their later time. I

certainly wanna be a successful person. So

I’d like to choose a experienced teacher.

20. Some

people

prefer

to

keep

reading

a new book until it is finished. Others

prefer to stop reading whenever they lose

interest. Which method of reading do you

think is better and why?

Personally, I prefer to stop reading

whenever they lose interest. It is because

First of all, it is convenient and I

would be able to save tons of time.

Specifically, it takes me only minutes to

read a book I interest in. However, if I’d

like

to

keep

reading

a

book

until

it

finished,

I will spend at least 5 hours. I think

spending

the

time

saved

on

reading

books

on

history

or

chemistry

is

considered

to

be

the

better way for me to relax/learn more

knowledge.

Also,

I

can

abroad

my

horizon

during

the

whole

process.

For

instance,

if

I

read

more

books I like. I can have a better

understanding

of

the

meaning

of

life

and

the

importance of dream and future. So, I will

pay more attention to my academic

performance and also make great

contribution to our society in the future.

In addition, it is because of the peer

pressure. You know, everyone in my class

chooses to stop reading if they lost

interest. I don’t wanna be isolat

ed from

them.

Therefore

I

choose

to

do

the

same

thing

and involve with them.
