It
was
recently
reported
in
a
newspaper
that
six
students
who
shared
a
dorm
at
a
local
university hired a
cleaned to do laundry and cleaning once a week.
And each of them paid her 60
yuan a
month. This has led to heated debate as to whether
college students should hire cleaners.
The following are the
supporters
’
and
opponents
’
opinions. Read
carefully the opinions from both
sides
and write your response in about 200 words, in
which you should first summarize briefly the
opinions from both sides and give your
view on the issue.
Marks
will be awarded for content relevance, content
sufficiency, organization, language
quality. Failure to follow the above
instructions may result in a loss of
marks.
YES
College students
’
first priority should be given
to
academic
pursuit
and other
social
activities.
Hiring
cleaners
can
free
themselves
from
chores
and
spare
more
time
for
them
to
improve
themselves.
A
clean
and
tidy
room
always
brings
a
good
mood,
which
in
turn,
leads
to
efficiency
in
study.
A
professional
cleaner
can
surely
offer
students
a
better
living
environment
at
a
reasonable
price.
NO
Without
a
steady
financial
source,
college
students
will
put
an
even
greater
burden
on
their
parents
by
hiring
cleaners
to
do
laundry
and cleaning.
It
is
an
excuse
for
students
not
to
do
laundry
and
cleaning themselves for academic pressure
and
extracurricular
activities.
Laundry
and
cleaning
job,
if
done
routinely,
just
takes
a
fraction
of time.

Recently
government
agencies
in
some
big
cities
have
been
studying
the
possibility
of
putting a
“
pollution
tax
”
on private cars. The
amount of tax private car owners would have to pay
would
depend
on
the
emission
levels,
i.e.
engine
or
vehicle
size.
This
has
caused
quite
a
stir
among the public. The
following are the supporter
’
and opponents
’
opinions.
Read them carefully
and
write
your
response
in
about
200words,
in
which
you
should
first
summarize
briefly
the
opinions from both sides and give your
view on the issue.
Marks
will be awarded for content relevance, content
sufficiency, organization, language
quality. Failure to follow the above
instructions may result in a loss of marks.
YES
It
turns
out
to
be
a
fact
that
the
emissions
of
cars
increase the pollution. If the amount of tax
private car owners have to pay depends
on the
emission level, people would
drive less or buy
low-emission cars in
order to save money.
Vehicle
emission
will
do
great
harm
to
our
body
’
s
respiratory
system(
呼吸系统
).
So
it
would be a
blessing fro us to put pollution tax
on
private cars.
In
a
long
term,
taxing
private
car
owners
promotes
sustainable
development
and
environment protection by warning car-
users to
reduce emissions.
NO
It will be very difficult to implement
the policy
of
“
pollution
tax
”
.
How
to
measure
the
exact
amount
of emission? How to avoid bribery for
escaping from fine and punishment?
Taxing
private
car
owners
doesn
’
t
reduce
pollution,
which
is
mainly
caused
by
heavy
industry.
Car-
making
industry
at
home
will
be
heavily
weakened
by
introducing
pollution
taxes.
For
the
rise
of
tax,
customers
will
pay
much
more
to own a car, thus
delaying their plan of buying
cars.

?
Summarize the
main message of the excerpt, and then

Do Parents Want to Go
Private?
The
latest
Ipsos
Mori
poll
for
the
Independent
Schools
Council
shows
that
57%
of
parents
would choose private
education if they could afford to do so. That is
the highest figure since these
polls
began in 1997.
The first thought, is why so many
parents would choose private education? What is
motivating
them to do so?
We have smaller classes in
private schools than a decade ago, better-paid
teachers, fewer staff
shortages,
far
more
computers,
and
many
more
new
school
buildings.
In
terms
of
investment,
education
has
done
pretty
well
over
the
past
decade:
education
spending
now
absorbs
a
higher
proportion of the
nation
’
s wealth than 10
years ago.
Some
of
the
figures
show
dramatic
improvements.
There
is
now
one
computer
for
every
six
private
school pupils compared with one for every 23 in
1994. In 1997, around one quarter of all
primary classes contained over 31
pupils. Now it is one in 10.
There has been no shortage
of intervention strategies to tackle under-
achievement: measures to
close
failing
schools,
the
creation
of
expensive
new
academies,
and
schemes
to
target
children
who fall behind
with their reading and maths.
