The Necessity of Examination
As
regards examination, there has been a heated
discussion among the general public in
our society. People who believe in its
necessity may have some arguments as follows. To
begin
with, examination helps to tell
the better-behaved from the worse-behaved
students. What
’
s
more, examination may stimulate the
students to work harder. Take Xiao Wang as an
example, a
student
from
Hebei
Normal
University,
he
used
to
have
poor
command
of
English.
However,
under the pressure of College English
Test Band 4, he made great progress and can now
speak
fluent English.
By
contrast,
some
people
think
that
examination
may
give
rise
to
a
series
of
negative
effects. They
maintain that examination cannot always faithfully
reflect one
’
s study
performance.
It is believed that too
many students may be misled and neglect the
improvement of practical
ability.
Examples of
“
High marks but
poor competence
”
are often cited on different media.
Just as any coin has two sides;
it
’
s no exception with the
issue of examination. Students
should
develop
a
right
attitude
towards
it
and
strike
a
balance
between
examination
and
practical ability achievement.

Integrate Chinese Culture
into College Education
As a result of globalization and
convenient interaction among different nations, a
variety
of native cultures are being or
have been lost. It
’
s true of
Chinese culture as well. We may easily
recognize all sorts of English courses
in college education curriculum but few of Chinese
culture.
And these indicate that
Chinese traditional culture has been ignored in
college education.
As we all know, traditional
culture represents the accumulated wisdom of our
ancestors
down through the ages and is
a rich heritage to every Chinese. For college
students, successors of
modernization
construction, mastering of Chinese culture is
particularly of significance. Besides,
traditional culture education can
promote the cultural awareness and patriotism
among college
students.
Therefore,
it
’
s
necessary
and
beneficial
to
integrate
Chinese
culture
into
college
education.
To
achieve this, colleges and universities should
take effective measures to preserve the
native
culture.
Culture
awareness
should
be
promoted
both
through
the
courses
and
extracurricular
activities.
As
for
college
students,
we
should
actively
be
involved
in
the
culture
education.

University Club
College
life
is
a
brand-new
period
for
the
freshmen
who
have
just
gone
through
the
“
torturing
”
high school and a
fate-changing college entrance examination. Among
all the new
things,
one
is
the
clubs
and
societies
on
campus,
such
as
football
club,
speech
club,
debate
society,
astronomy
club,
movie
association,
etc.
These
associations
take
the
chance
of
every
September to recruit
new blood.
However, students hold different
opinions about on-campus clubs and societies. Some
students think that to join in some
club is a good opportunity to develop their
comprehensive
ability, especially when
they can be leaders. Some students disagree and
believe there exist more
disadvantages,
since
it
will
take
students
a
lot
of
time
that
they
should
spend
on
study,
and
especially when they
immerse themselves in more than one club. Still
some other students are
indifferent to
on-campus clubs, or even completely ignore them.
For
me, I think it
’
s foolish to
be totally involved into some clubs or to be an
outsider
completely, and the best way
is to make sure about your own interest, make the
correct choice,
and fight for a balance
between club activities and study.

Relationship Between Major and Future
Job
It
’
s
a striking fact that there
isn
’
t necessary relationship
between one
’
s major and
specific
job
duties
for
majority
of
people.
Many
people
condemn
this
on
outdated
education
system and some
even complain that textbooks are useless.
This phenomenon exists for a number of
reasons. First of all, it
’
s
a common sense that
there
always
exists
a
gap
between
theory
and
practice.
This
gap
needs
to
be
bridged
by
continuous exploration of similarities
and differences between these two factors and
accordingly
corresponding
modification.
Secondly,
due
to
the
rapid
development
of
technology,
the
knowledge from textbooks
becomes behind the times soon. And it will lead to
the disassociation
between what one has
acquired in college education and what he does at
work.
From my point of view, when faced with
the disassociation, one should adapt himself to
working environment as soon as possible
by adjusting his own information system.
What
’
s more
important,
life-long
learning
is
essential
to
one
’
s
career
success.
Even
after
one
reached
the
required levels from college education
curriculum, pursuit of knowledge should never be
ceased.
Last but not the least, we
should bear this firmly in mind that
one
’
s ability is valued much
more
than one
’
s
academic degree.
