Who Should Pay the University's Tuition?1、大学学费不断上涨，有人认为大学学费应由学生自己赚取，有人认为应由父母供给。
2、作为大学生，谈谈你自己的观点，并给出理由。
University education play an important role in students' career since it offers them more opportunities.However,with the increase of the tuition in universities,hot discussion have arisen on whether the tuition should supplied by parents or pay it by students themselves.Some one think it is the duty of parents to meet their children the need of fund because the money is beyond students ability. In contract,other people disagree with it.They think that a university student is already an adult, they should pay the fees themselves.As far as I am concerned,I think parents should shoulder the responsibility for part of the tuition while students pay the rest part.It can't deny the fact that trying to make money will affect students studies.Meanwhile,doing a part-time job will help them cultivate their abilities and gain abundant experiences from society.What'smore,they w ill realize the importance of sav ing money,which help to lighten the burden of their parents.Some say students should pay fees by themselves as they pay for their own life. Some think that tuition fees should be paid by their parents because that am ount of money is beyond students’ ability.Nowadays,more and more people are admitted by university to have futher study and get self-promoted.butsomething trouble may bother us.With the rising of university’s tuition,many people come to argue that who should pay for the university tution. Some people hold the view that parents should shoulder theresponsibility.Weare at the age of achieving new knowledge,we’d better treasure time to explore.It’s undoubtble that earn money by ourselves can affect our regular learning.While others insist that it is the students’duty to pay for momey by themselves.we are at the age of aadult,the ability of self-sufficiency is highly valued. That prevent us from depending on our parentsovermuch.In my opinion,we can afford a part of tuition.Afterall,parents’burden can be relieved envidently,meanwhile,it’s right time to promote our workingability.keeping a better balance between working andlearning,we can lead a easy life.。
IELTS Topic
Topic:Music is played in every society and culture in the world today. Some people think that music brings only benefits to individuals and societies. Other, however, think that music can have a negative influence on both.Discuss both these views and give your own opinionGive reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 wordsSAMPLE ANSWER:Generally, music is considered to be one of the most popular and ancient modes of human expression. It features largely in all histories and all cultures and indeed has been one of the main ways of passing on cultural traditions to new generations. Because of this, many people view music as a positive influence for societies. They also believe that the influence on individuals is wholly beneficial as it is a long-established way of communicating and helping us to understand the whole range of human emotion and experience in a more spiritual language than words can represent.However, there are different kinds of music and the qualities of classical music traditions are not necessarily part of the music many people experience today. In the modern world there is a huge music industry that sells piped music to supermarkets and advertisers. We are also constantly exposed to loud, modern music from people's CD players, iPods or car radios. so the view of music today as a kind of noise pollution produced by selfish people, is also a common and negative one.But it is difficult to think of a world without music. Certainly there is bad music that may have negative influences, particularly on the young. But people's taste in music tends to change as they get older, and it would be difficult to find someone who had no positive musical associations at all.In conclusion, I think that music can have both positive and negative influences on people and society, but it is an integral part of human expression that wecannot really separate from our lives.(267 words)Topic:Young people in the modern world seem to have more power and influence than any previous young generation.Why is this case?What impact does this have on the relationship between old and young people? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 wordsSAMPLE ANSWER:I would agree that young people today play a bigger role in society than their parents' or grandparents' generation did. This is mainly due to the large social and technological changes that have increased the experience gap between the generations. For instance, young people today are generally better educated, and because they have been trained from a young age to use computer technology, they have internet access to information in a way that was unimaginable for earlier generations.This means that they are probably better informed than their parents or grandparents were at their age, and their hi-tech skills give them confidence in dealing with the very rapid changes in technology that are so uncomfortable for older people.In addition, younger people are often the most affected by globalization. They follow fashions in clothes, music and social habits that are common among young people throughout the world. So they have become powerful consumers who influence big global markets today.As a result of all these developments, relationships with older people are often difficult. Teachers and parents are no longer treated with respect, and experience is undervalued because young people think they know everything, or at least can learn about everything from the internet. In many cultures this has led to a lack of discipline in schools, family breakdowns and even serious social problems.However, the current generation gap is the responsibility of both younger and older generations. Both have to make efforts to understand each other and a good starting pointwould be for families to spend more time together than they normally do today.(264 words)Topic:Modern societies need specialists in certain fields, but not in others.Some people therefore thing that governments should pay university fees for students who study subjects that are needed by society. Those who choose to study less relevant subjects should not receive government funding.Would the advantages of such an educational policy outweigh the disadvantages.Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 wordsSAMPLE ANSWER:In every country there are fashions among students about which subjects are the best to study at university. Sometimes the popularity of a subjects is determined by how much more a graduate could subsequently earn in that field. Or subjects that are perceived as relatively "easy" may also become popular, in spite of later difficulties of finding appropriate employment. It is up to governments to give incentives to students to choose subjects that match the need of their society.Obviously one way to do this would be for the government to pay the fees of those choosing such subjects. The advantage would certainly be that higher numbers of students would enroll and would later fill the employment gaps.However, the disadvantages of such a policy would be considerable. For example, the students attracted by the funding may not have any real interest in or aptitude for that subject. Such students may drop out before graduation or after working only a short time in a related job. Furthermore, funding one group of students but not others would penalize those with a genuine interest and ability for another field. Such discrimination would certainly affect the whole of higher education of the country and students would develop very negative attitudes towards going to university altogether. This would be very counter-productive for any country.In conclusion I thing that there are many other incentives for students that could beconsidered, such as making courses more interesting to take, or the job rewards greater after graduation. The educational policy proposed above, however, would certainly have more long-term disadvantages than benefits for society.(267 words)Topic:The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home for work, education or shopping.To what extent do you agree or disagree?Sample Answer:It is certainly true that today traffic in cities throughout the world has become a major problem. This is obvious from the number of vehicles on our roads and the amount of pollution they cause. Probably the traffic problem is due to individuals traveling for work, study or shopping purpose and this is evident in the rush hours we experience every morning and evening.It is also true that today such daily commuting is not always necessary because people can do these things from home. We can see this in the options Information technology gives us today. For instance, on-line work, distance learning and shopping facilities are all available on the internet.However, even if everyone had access to the technology and the opportunity to work from home, it is unrealistic to think that everyone would want to. Even though the technology for working, studying or shopping on-line makes this option a possibility, nevertheless it would mean people had less freedom of choice and less social contact in their lives. This would have a large impact on society as a whole.So, in conclusion, I think that while this practice could reduce the traffic problems in our cities, it is most unlikely to be an acceptable solution. In terms of other solutions perhaps we need to think more carefully about facilitating public transport and limiting private cars in our city centre. The development of public transport that is not road-based, such as sky trains or subways, would probably be more acceptable alternative measure to reduce jams on the roads.Topic:Some people think men and women have different natural abilitiesthat make them suitable for different types of work. Others, however, believe that both men and women can be equally suited to do any type of work.Write at least 250 wordsSample Answer:It is understandable that some people believe that the physical and genetic differences between men and women equip them for different activities and skills. Because women have babies, they have traditionally worked in the home in most cultures. In addition, employed women have tended to dominate the so-called "caring professions" such as teaching, nursing or social work, and this has reinforced the idea that women are particularly suited to such jobs. However, it is very difficult to separate this notion from our cultural traditions and to arrive at any clear idea of what natural abilities belong to one or the other gender. As more and more women in different countries get jobs outside the home, it is clear that they are able to perform jobs that were traditionally only held by men. With high level of education, even the highest positions in science, politics or law, for example, can be held successfully by women. Therefore, those who claim that the sexes can do the same jobs equally seem to have a good point, especially in terms of intellectual work.There is also increasing scientific evidence that individual differences between people may be more important than gender differences. In other words, some women may be physically stronger than some men, while some male individuals may be more sensitive, or more caring than some women.In my opinion, only science will be able to identify what is "natural" to each gender. But in the meantime, I thing that in the modern world individual men and women can be trained to develop similar abilities. Differences in aptitude and talents are greater at the individual level than at the gender level. Topic:In recent years some countries have experienced very rapid economic development. This has resulted in much higher standards of living in urban areas but non in the countryside.This situation may bring some problems for the country as a whole.What are these problems?How might they be reduced?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 wordsSAMPLE ANSWER:From the evidence of developing countries all over the world it seems inevitable that economic growth is generated in the business and industrial centres of the major cities. As a result, urban citizens have access to jobs and facilities that improve their living standards considerably. However, it is usually the case that these are not equally enjoyed by people in the countryside and this generates several problems for the countries concerned.First of all, people from the countryside will try to move to the cities to get more employment opportunities and better access to the facilities available there. But this increase in the urban population puts great pressure on housing and services, and leads to the creates of massive slum areas where conditions may be lower than in the rural villages. These are often left under-populated and this can impact on food production and can have severe affects for people in both urban and rural areas.Finally, as a country's economy develops, there may be an increasing sense of inequality as the towns get richer and the villages get poorer, and this may lead to more crime and even civil unrest.The key to reducing these problems seems to lie in improving the standards of living and the facilities available in the countryside. Perhaps incentives can be offered to factories and companies to relocate; road and rail networks can be built to make such relocation possible; doctors and teachers could be required to spend part of their professional lives in rural areas, etc.In conclusion, however, improving rural living standards requires investment and political will that is sometimes not easy to generate.(272 words)Topic:The exploration and development of safe alternatives to fossil fuels should bethe most important global priority today.To what extent do you agree and disagree?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 wordsSAMPLE ANSWER:It is true to say that fossil fuels are still our main source of energy today, and as more countries develop their industries and their economies, the scale of their use continues to grow.However, we are now well aware of the consequences of relying on this energy source for our natural environment. Global warning and the damage to the protective ozone layer are caused by carbon dioxide and other by-products of fossil fuels. So I certainly agree that these problems are global rather than national ones. They threaten our whole planet and no action by a single country could solve them. Furthermore these problems are urgent as nobody know when our natural world will be so damaged that it will no longer be able to support us.While some countries already use safer alternative energy sources, such as wind, water or solar power, it seems that there has not been sufficient investment in developing the technology to make such alternatives viable for all. So it should definitely be a global priority to invest in such research and development.Of course there are other global priorities that we also need to address, such as poverty and disease. But while it may be the case that these problems are just as important as the energy problem, there is a sense that time is ticking away for our planet and any solutions to the energy issue will take some time to achieve.So in conclusion, I would agree that finding alternatives to fossil fuels is certainly the most pressing global priority, if not the most important one for our world today.(269 words)。
2012年四级英语作文预测
Unhealthy Lifestyles of University Students1．不少大学生的生活方式消极，不上课，不运动，不出去社交，而是宅在家里或宿舍，导致知识水平下降的同时身体素质也在下降。
2．你对此有什么看法和建议？【范文】In recent years, many university students would like to stay at home or dormitory rather than to attend compulsory courses, take exercises or join in social activities. This kind of unhealthy lifestyle will do harm to their physical conditions to some extend, and reduce their scope of knowledge.Unhealthy lifestyles of university students are caused by their reversed biological clock, addiction to computer games, irregular dietary structure, all kinds of competition pressures, and so on. To improve this way of life, joined efforts are needed. As to universities, they should hold the idea “health comes first” and educate students to conscientiously observe the rules of discipline and study hard. Parents should cooperate with universities by creating comfortable atmosphere at home. Most importantly, university students themselves should form good habits and healthy interests, take extracurricular activities positively and do exercises regularly.【点评】文章开门见上，指出大学生的不良生活方式，简单提及其危害。
governments should pay the course feess
Some people think that governments should pay the course fees for those who want to go to universities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?1、背景：存在读不起书现象—争议：是否政府付全部学费—立场：不可行、不实际2、原因一：超过政府支付能力（还有更过值得优先投资的项目如医疗，温饱）3、原因二：切实可行的方法：够入学资格的免学费，不够资格的自己交学费好处：培养竞争+确保优秀人才不失学+减轻政府负担4、总结抓紧建立一个有效可行的筛选人才的机制It is frequently reported by medias that some students who have passed the college entrance examinations are deprived the opportunities to get further educations because their family could not afford the funds needed for their children to complete studies in universities. And it has been a long-lasting controversy over whether government funds shall be available to all those want to go to universities. However, for most countries in the world, it is unworkable and impracticable for the proposal of having governments to cover the tuition fees for college students.First and foremost, it is safe to say, there are only few governments in today’s world which can afford the tuition fees for all their people to study in universities. Paying tuition fees for all academicians is just beyond the financial capability of many countries. Admittedly, education is a crucial undertaking for a country, yet there are many other issues of higher priority for governments to put in money. For many countries which even fail to make the very basic needs of food and clothing of their people to be met, it is not feasible for the governments to place the higher education prior to the basic living necessities.In many nowaday countries, the actual practice is that the governments pay tuition fees for the students who pass the certain grades cut-off points in entrance examinations. Whereas the rest who fail to meet the grade cut-off points, though they are also admitted by universities, would have to pay the tuition fees by themselves if they are to study in universities. Such practices have many advantages. Firstly, it creates a competition among university candidates as high academic achievements are encouraged. The university candidates would have to study hard to compete for the eligibility for free-free study in universities. On the other hand, it provides governments with an efficient instrument to attract talents to work in some less-attended but important subjects just by setting them free-fee. Besides, one another merit of such practices is that unbearable financial burdens could be avoided for the governments.In conclusion, there is no need and feasibility for governments to pay course fees for all university students. What is necessary is a rational and workable incentive mechanism for university candidates, which is supposed to well fit the conditions of a country.。

新视野大学英语第三版电子教案Book2-Unit-4
Unit 4Dance with loveUNDERSTANDING AND LEARNINGOverview:Unit 4 is designed to let students navigate their college romance. Text A tells a love story about two college sweethearts, while Text B presents an image of a college girl who is in love and wants to initiate the first step to date a boy. The two texts have the same theme, but the dating practices are somewhat different: One is more traditional and the other more modern. Though the rhetoric modes used in both texts are narrative, Text B, however, is also more like an exposition, with the girl’s opinion about dating being clearly stated: what kind of date is most beneficial, who should initiate , and who should pay. The teacher may want to expose students to the elaborated description of the girl’s inner struggle. To let students find out what kind of date they really want and how they can deal with it properly, the teacher may start with a class discussion, based on the pre-reading activities, and then proceed to a story-telling activity on the topic of “love just happens when you least expect it”. The activity contains two layers: from oral to writing. Section ACollege sweetheartsBackground informationCampus romance in the 1960s in the United StatesThe 1960s in the United States are often perceived today as a period of profound societal change. Attitudes to a variety of issues changed, sometimes radically, throughout the decade. The urge to “find oneself”, the activism of the 1960s, and the quest for autonomy were characterized by changes toward sexual attitudes and practices, particularly among the young. These changes to sexual attitudes and behavior during the period are often referred to as the “sexual revolution”. The sexual revolution was often seen to have been centered on the university campus, among students. While the term “revolution”implies radical and widespread change, this was not necessarily in the case. Even in the “liberal”1960s, conservative and traditional views were widely held. The love story in Text A coincides with what happened in that particular historical period of time in the United States. From the story students can see the main characters, college sweethearts back then, were actually following a more traditional pattern of dating, romantic but conservative, a clear stream on campus in the 1960s.Detailed study of the text1.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1(40 points)Text 1Reskilling is something that sounds like a buzzword but is actually a requirement if we plan to have a future where a lot of would-be workers do not get left behind.We know we are moving into a period where the jobs in demand will change rapidly, as will the requirements of the jobs that remain Research by the WEF detailed in the Harvard Business Review, finds that on average 42 per cent of the core skills within job roles will change by 2022. That is a very short timeline, so we can only imagine what the changes will be further in the future.The question of who should pay for reskilling is a thorny one For individual companies, the temptation is always to let go of workers whose skills are no longer demand and replace them with those whose skills are. That does not always happen. AT&T is often given as the gold standard of a company who decided to do a massive reskilling program rather than go with a fire-and-hire strategy.ultimately retraining 18,000 employees. Prepandemic, other companies including Amazon and Disney had also pledged to create their own plans. When the skills mismatch is in the broader economy though, the focus usually turns to government to handle. Efforts in Canada and elsewhere have been arguably languid at best, and have given us a situation where we frequently hear of employers begging for workers even at times and In regions where unemployment is high. With the pandemic, unemployment is very high indeed. In February.at 3.5 per cent and 5.5 per cent respectively, unemployment rates in Canada and the United States were at generational lows and worker shortages were everywhere. As of May, those rates had spiked up to 13.3 per cent and 13.7 per cent, and although many worker shortages had disappeared, not all had done so. In the medical field, to take an obvious example, the pandemic meant that there were still clear shortages of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel Of course, it is not like you can take an unemployed waiter anc train him to be a doctor in a few weeks, no matter who pays for it. But even if you cannot close that gap, maybe you can close others, ancdoing so would be to the benefit of all concerned That seems to be the case in Sweden, where the pandemic kick-started a retraining program where business as well as government had a role.Reskiling in this way would be challenging in a North American context. You can easily imagine a chorus of"you cant do that"because teachers or nurses or whoever have special skills, and using any support staff who has been quickly trained is bound to end in disaster. Maybe. Or maybe it is something that can work ' ell in Sweden, with its history of co-operation between business, labour and government, but not in North America where our history is very different. Then again, maybe it is akin to wartime, when extraordinary things take place, but it is business as usual after the fact. And yet, as in warthe pandemic is teaching us that many things, including rapid reskilling, can be done if there is a will to do them. In any case Swedens work force is now more skilled, in more things, and more flexible than it was before.Of course，reskilling programs，whether for pandemic needs or the postpandemic world，are expensive and at a time when everyones budgets are lean this may not be the time to implement them.Ther again，extending income support programs to get us through the next months is expensive，too，to say nothing of the cost of having a swath of long-term unemployed in the POST-COVID years Given that perhaps we should think hard about whether the pandemic can jump-start us to a place where reskilling becomes much more than a buzzword.21.Research by the World Economic Forum suggestsA.an increase in full-time employmentB.an urgent demand for new job skillsc stedy growh frio porunineD.a controversy about the"core skillsw22.AT&T is cited to showA.an alternative to the fire-and-hire strategyB.an immediate need for government support epetC.the importance of staff appraisal standardsD.the characteristics of reskilling program23.Efforts to resolve the skills mismatch in CanadaA.have driven up labour costsB.have proved to be inconsistentC have met wit fere opostinD.have appeared to be insufficient24.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that there wasA.a call for policy adjustment.B.a change in hiring praties.下C.a lack of medical workerseducnD.a sign of economic recovery.25.Scandinavian Airlines decided toA.Great job vacancies for the unemployed.B.Prepare their laid-off workers for other jobs.C.Retrain their cabin staff for better servicesD.finance their stf coclleg ediuantText 2（缺）Text 3When Microsoft bought task management app Wunderlist and mobile calendar Sunrise in 2015，it picked up two newcomers that were attracting considerable buzz in Silicon Valley.Microsoft's owr Office dominates the market for"productivity"software，but thestart-ups represented a new wave of technology designed from the ground up for the smartphone world.Both apps, however, were later scrapped, after Microsoft said it had used their best features in its own products. Their teams of engineers stayed on, making them two of the many "acqui-hires"that the biggest companies have used to feed their insatiable hunger for tech talent.To Microsoft' s critics, the fates of Wunderlist and Sunrise are examples of a remorseless drive by Big Tech to chew up any innovative companies that lie in their path. "They bought the seedlings and closed them down,"complained Paul Arnold, a partnerat San Francisco-based Switch Ventures, putting paid to businesses that might one day turn into competitors. Microsoft declined to comment.Like other start-up investors, Mr Arnold' s own business often depends on selling start-ups to larger tech companies, though he admits to mixed feelings about the result: "I think these things are good for me, if I put my selfish hat on. But are they good for the American economy? I don' t know."The US Federal Trade Commission says it wants to find the answer to that question. This week, it asked the five most valuable US tech companies for information about their many small acquisitions ovel the past decade. Although only a research project at this stage, the request has raised the prospect of regulators wading into early-stage tech markets that until now have been beyond their reach.Given their combined market value of more than $5.5tn, rifling through such small deals -many of them much less prominent than Wunderlist and Sunrise-might seem beside the point. Between them, the five companies (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Facebook) have spent an average of only $3.4bn a year on sub-$1bn acquisitions over the past five years a drop in the ocean compared with their massive financial reserves, and the more than$130bn of venture capital that was invested in the US last year.However, critics say that the big companies use such deals to buy their most threatening potential competitors before their businesseshave a chance to gain momentum，in some cases as part of a"buy and kill"tactic to simply close them down.31.What is true about Wuderlist and sunrise after their acquisitionsA.Their market values declined.B.Their tech features improvedC.Theirengines wer retainenD.Their products were re-priced.32.Microsoft's critics believe that the big tech companies tend toA.ignore public opinionsB.treat new tech talent unfairlyC.exagerate their product qualiD eltnte e teatie ceies33.Paul Arnold is concerned that small acquisitionsA.harm the national economyB.worsen maket competiontihC.discourage start-up investorsD.weaken big tech companies.34.The US Federal Trade Commission intend toA.examine small acquisitionsB.limit Big Tech's expansionC.supervise start-ups'operationsD.encourage research collaboration35.For the five biggest tech companies，their small acquisition haveA.brought little financial pressureB.raised few management challengesC.set an example for future dealsD.generated considerbl ontsnText4We' re fairly good at judging people based on first impressions thin slices of experience ranging from a glimpse of a photo to a five-minute interaction, and deliberation can be not only extraneous but intrusive. In one study of the ability she dubbed "thin slicing."the late psychologist Nalini Ambady asked participants to watch silent 10-second video clips of professors and to rate the instructor's overall effectiveness. Their ratings correlated strongly with students' end-of-semester ratings. Another set of participants had to count backward from 1,000 by nines as they watched the clips, occupying their conscious working memory. Their ratings were just as accurate, demonstrating the intuitive nature of the social processing.Critically, another group was asked to spend a minute writing downreasons for their judgment, before giving the rating. Accuracy dropped dramatically. Ambady suspected that deliberation focused them on vivid but misleading cues, such as certain gestures or utterances, rather than letting the complex interplay of subtle signals form a holistic impression. She found similar interference wher participants watched 15-second clips of pairs of people and judged whether they were strangers, friends, or dating partners.Other research shows we' re better at detecting deception and sexual orientation from thin slices when we rely on intuition instead of reflection. "It' s as if you' re driving a stick shift,"says Judith Hall, a psychologist at Northeastern University, "and if you start thinkingabout it too much, you can' t remember what you' re doing. But if you go on automatic pilot, you' re fine. Much of our social life is like that."Thinking too much can also harm our ability to form preferences College students' ratings of strawberry jams and college coursesaligned better with experts' opinions when the students weren' t asked to analyze their rationale. And people made car-buying decisions that were both objectively better and more personally satisfying when asked to focus on their feelings rather than on details but only if the decision was complex-when they had a lot of information to process. Intuition' s special powers are unleashed only in certain circumstances. In one study, participants completed a battery of eight tasks, including four that tapped reflective thinking (discerning rules, comprehending vocabulary) and four that tapped intuition and creativity (generating new products or figures of speech). Then they rated the degree to which they had used intuition ("gut feelings," "hunches,""my heart"). Use of their gut hurt their performance on the first four tasks, as expected, and helped them on the rest Sometimes the heart is smarter than the head.36.Nalini Ambaby s study deals withA.instructor studen tiraioB.the power of people's memoryC.the reliability of first impressionsD.People's ability to influence others37.In Ambaby s study，rating accuracy dropped when oarticipants，A.gave the rating in limited timeB.focused on specific detailsC.watched shorter video clipsD.discussed with on another38.Judith Hall mentions driving to mention thatA.memory can be selectiveB.reflection can be distractingC.social skills must be cultivatedD.deception is difficult to detect39.When you are making complex decisions，it is advisable toA.follow your feelingsB.list your preferencesC.seek expert adviceD.collect enough data40，（缺）Part B Directions：tedu.co In the following article，some sentences have been removed.Fon Questions 41-45，choose the most suitable one from the list A-G tc fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices which do not fit in any of the blanks.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.（10 points）A.Stay calmB.Stay humbleC.Don'tmake judgmentsD.Be realistic about the risksE.Decide whether to waitF.Ask permission to disagreeG.Identify a shared goalHow to Disagree with Someone More Powerful than You Your boss proposes a new initiative you think won' t work. Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you think is unrealistic.What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do? How do you decide whether it' s worth speaking up? And if you do, what exactly should you say? Here' s how to disagree with someone more powerful than you.41You may decide it' s best to hold off on voicing your opinion.Maybe you haven' t finished thinking the problem through, the whole discussion was a surprise to you, or you want to get a clearer sense of what the group thinks. If you think other people are going to disagree too, you might want to gather your army first. People can contributeexperience or information to your thinking-all the things that wouldmake the disagreement stronger or more valid. It' s also a good idea to delay the conversation if you' re in a meeting or other public space. Discussing the issue in private will make the powerful person feel less42Before you share your thoughts, think about what the powerful person cares about-it may be "the credibility of their team or getting a project done on time. You' re more likely to be heard if you can connect your disagreement to a higher purpose. When you do speak up, don' t assume the link will be clear. You' Il want to state it overtly, contextualizing your statements so that you' re seen not as a disagreeable underling but as a colleague who' strying to advance ashared goal. Thediscussion will then become more like a chess game than a boxing match.43This step may sound overly deferential, but it' s a smart way to give the powerful person psychological safety and control. You can say something like, "I know we seem to be moving toward a first-quarter commitment here. I have reasons to think that won' t work. I' d like tclay out my reasoning. Would that be OK?"This gives the person a choice, allowing them to verbally opt in. And, assuming they say yes, it will make you feel more confident about voicing your disagreement.44.You might feel your heart racing or your face turning red, but dc whatever you can to remain neutral in both your words and actions.When your body language communicates reluctance or anxiety, it undercuts the message. It sends a mixed message, and your counterpart gets to choose what to read. Deep breaths can help, ascan speaking more slowly and deliberately. When we feel panicky we tend to talk louder and faster. Simply slowing the pace and talking in an even tone helps the other person calm down and does the samefor you. It also makes you seem confident, even if you aren' t.45.Emphasize that you' re offering your opinion, not gospel truth. It may be a well-informed, well-researched opinion, but it' s still an opinion, my talk tentatively and slightly understate your confidence.Instead of saying something like, "If we set an end-of-quarter deadline, we' Il never make it,"say, "This is just my opinion, but 1don' t see how we will make that deadline."Having asserted your position (as a position, not as a fact) demonstrate equal curiosity about other views. Remind the person that this is your point of view, and then invite critique. Be open to hearing other opinions.Part CTranslate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.（10 points）We tend to think that friends and family members are our biggest source of connection，laughter and warmth.While that may well be true，researchers have also recently found that interacting with strangers actually brings a boost in mood and feelings of belonging that we didn't expect.In one series of studies，researchers instructed Chicago-area commuters using public transportation to strike up a conversation with someone near them.On average，participants who followed this instruction felt better than those who had been told to stand or sit in silence.The researchers also argued that when we shy away from casual interactions with strangers，It is often due to a misplaced anxiety that they might not want to talk to us.Much of the time，however，this belief is false.As it tums out，many people are actuallyperfectly wiling to talk-and may even be flattered to receive your attentionPart A Section m writing51.Directions:Suppose you are organising an online meeting.Write an email to Jack an international student o （1）invite him to participate，and（2）tell him the details a-You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the e"Li Ming"instead.

University studies 学生应承担大学的学习费用吗 英语作文
Students should pay the full cost of their own university studies, rather than have free higher education provided by the state.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.Model Answer 1:Free tertiary education has always sparks heated debates all over the world. I, personally, completely disagree that higher education cost should be born by students because that wouldprevent the waste of talent resource and also it is a form investment for the government in the long run.When higher education comes with a cost, it creates an inefficient allocation of the human resource. This is because when there is a financial constraint, some students from the less privileged background are forced to choose the courses that either is not too costly or have good employability prospects and not necessarily courses that the students want most or are best at. As a result, for example, instead of being an excellent artist, the student can only be amediocre accountant because he cannot utilise all his potential in his chosen field, causing a waste of talent; free higher education can prevent this problem.The second reason why tertiary education should be free is because if the government chooses not to spend money on free education, they will see rising expenditures in other areas. For example, a less educated workforce bears a higher risk of unemployment in the economic downturn, and thus the government’s coffers for unemployment aid would need to increase. Furthermore, unskilled labour earns much less than college-educated people do, and thus they contribute less income tax i.e. less revenue for the government. Not to mention, the highly skilled population is essential to any country’s economic growth in the long run.In conclusion, because free education allows students to learn what they enjoy most and are best at, it can ensure better allocation of the human resource. Furthermore, free education can reduce unemployment cost in the economic downturn, increase government’s tax revenue, and increase economic growth in the long run.Thus, I completely disagree that students should pay for their higher education.Model Answer 2:Education is a possession which makes a person stand tall and high. It adds to the overall physical personality of the person and makes him stand apart and outshines others who don’t possess it.Education is an eternal rock which never withers, not even during the wild waves of evil. It is only education which makes people bow in front of the educated and is one of the moral fabrics ofany country which binds the whole society into one nation. It is due to this high pedestal which the education occupies that higher education must be provided by the State, albeit to those subjects of the state who are economically weak. There are, however, two schools of thought.One school of thought is of the view that the cost of higher studies should be borne by the students themselves. However, in such a scenario, all those meritorious students who are unable to continue their education for want of money (read economic resources) would be left with no option but to get themselves tagged as‘drop outs’ by the society, due to no fault of theirs. ‘No student should be left deprived of education’ must be one of the objectives (read fundamental duty) of every Nation/State.On the other hand, a student who thrives for education must be wholeheartedly supported by the Nation/State. No stone must be left unturned to make available the most precious of the stones, i.e. the education, to the student. It is so because education is something which is dearer than the fine opals, more precious than emeralds! There’ve been quite a lot instances in the recent past, and even now, wherein theentire cost of higher studies of a student is sponsored by the State. The recent example which supports this is the educational sponsorship which was provided by the state government of ABC (a country) to the son of a widower who earns her livelihood by cleaning utensils at a roadside restaurant. It can thus be candidly concluded that education does elevate the horizon and encourages the mankind to labour at present for accruing enjoyment at a later stage in life.Consequently, the state must take responsibility, to a certain extent and for a certain set ofindividuals based on economic criteria to provide them with free higher education opportunities. This, in return, would only help the State/Nation to become independent and economically stable.。

How tough should a parent be to galvanize them in these financially fraught times?今年夏天，超过65万名学生离开了大学，很多人都不知道如何找到工作。
在这个经济困难的时期，父母应该怎样严厉地激励他们呢?In July, you looked on as your handsome 21-year-old son, dressed in gown and mortarboard, proudly clutched his honors degree for his graduation photo. Those memories of forking out thousands of pounds a year so that he could eat well and go to the odd party, began to fade. Until now.7月，你看着你21岁的儿子，穿着学士服，戴着学位帽，骄傲地拿着他的荣誉学位拍毕业照。
那些为了吃得好、参加不定期的聚会而每年掏出几千英镑的记忆开始消失了。
直到现在。
As the summer break comes to a close and students across the country prepare for the start of a new term, you find that your graduate son is still spending his days slumped in front of the television, broken only by texting, Facebook and visits to the pub. This former scion of Generation Y has morphed overnight into a member of Generation Grunt. Will he ever get a job?当暑假即将结束，全国各地的学生都在为新学期的开始做准备时，你会发现，你毕业的儿子仍然整天窝在电视机前，只有发短信、上Facebook和泡酒吧。
雅思作文教育类作文
教育类202X年6月19日雅思写作范文〔教育话题〕题目：Some people think adults should learn practical skills by themselves, while others think they should learn with teachers in the classroom. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.There is no doubt that adults should keep learning new skills to remain competitive in the workplace. Whether they should learn these skills by themselves or with teachers is a topic to debate.Self-learning means that learners would have a flexible schedule without the limit of time and space. Most adults have a family to support and their work may keep them busy every day. It is difficult for them to allocate a fixed time slot to take part in a training course. Unlike children, adults have more self-contro l and discipline, which makes it possible for them to learn by themselves in their spare time. Besides, some people prefer self-learning rather than classroom learning, because the latter tends to place an emphasis on theoretical knowledge.On the other hand, some people advocate learning with teachers in formal training classes. Qualified teachers would help students learn in a fast and systematic way. When people learn practical skills, experience isparticular important. The teacher’s guidance would help students avoid making mistakes and wasting time. In a training class, the students would know some classmates and wasting time. In a training class, the students would know some classmates, who would become their personal resources in their future careers.In my opinion, when an adult decides to learn a certain skill, he or she should take various factors into consideration. Self-learning is more suitable for people whose time and finance is limited, but more discipline is required in this pattern. For those who can afford the time and money, attending a training class would be a more effective way to learn practical skills, particularly complicated skills which are difficult to learn by students themselves.解析：这个题是202X年7月15号的原题，属于教育话题中比较少见的成人教育。

Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.【1】The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to.A．taxpayers B．pressing callsC．college graduates D．government resources【2】The author thinks that with full government funding.A．teachers are less satisfied.B．students are more demanding.C．students will become more competent.D．teachers will spend less time on teaching【3】The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to.A．argue against free university educationB．call on them to finance students' studiesC．encourage graduates to go into businessD．show their contribution to higher education2.There was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。

Who Should Pay the University’s Tuition？
谁将支付你的大学学费？
1．大学学费不断上涨，有人认为大学学费应由学生自己赚取，有人认为应由父母供给。
2．作为大学生，谈谈你自己的观点，并给出理由。
【范文】
University education plays an important role in a person’s career since it offers people more opportunities. With the rising of university’s tuition, hot discussions have arisen about who should pay the university’s tuition. Some say students should pay fees by themselves as they pay for their own life. Some think that tuition fees should be paid by their parents because that amount of money is beyond students’ability.
大学教育在一个人的职业生涯中扮演着原来越重要的角色，也为人们提供更多的机遇。
随着大学学费的上涨，谁将支付大学学费成为了热门讨论的问题。
一些人认为学生应当自己支付费用作为他们独立的象征。
一些人认为学费应当由父母支付，因为所需要的金额超出了学生的经济能力。
As far as I am concerned, I think parents should pay part of the fees while university students bear the rest part. It is true that trying to make money will affect university students’ studies. But doing part-time jobs will help them gain working experience, learn。
