Why? Simply because going to school is so costly.The tuition has been almost tripled over the past decade and this presented serious financialpressure that some families cannot handle.So some of my classmates have to drop out just because their families ran short of money.Human tragedy!I ’ m lucky. My mom and dad are making enough money, so I can even go to college in Canada. ButI ’ m not taking this for granted, I’ ll be eternally grateful to them.4. Private training institutionWherever there’ s need, there’ s a solution. As more families realized the importance of makingeducation investment in their kids, training demands has been soaring over the past 10 years.Private training institutions such as New Oriental flourished.So as long as you want you willalways find a place to study and a class schedule that fits you. Opportunities for personalimprovement are many.将来 50 年教育会发生什么变化?Question:What change do you foresee in the next 50 years?如何答”将来”题目Wow. 50 years is such a long time.I don ’ t even know if I will still be around in half a centurytime. So this question is kind of challenging. Nobody knows for sure what’ s gonna happen in thefuture, right, because the future is unpredictable. But, let me try to answer this question.1. Education will be a social welfare without any charges.Maybe this is just a Utopian Dream. But I strongly believe, as our society moves forward,education will eventually become a social benefit. Families will not have to pay for education ofthe kids, because when the kids receive good education,the society will be benefited as itreceives a continual wave of talents. It is only fair that the society take out some of the taxrevenue and use it on education for young people. Since tuition is no longer a problem, more andmore people can finally all go to school. This is what I call“ educational equality” .2. Education will become less time-consuming.One day I suddenly realized that each and every one of us spend 20 years or so on education. 20years! That ’ s crazy. Those years are probably the best time in our lives. So if you ask me whatchange do I want to see happen in 50 years time, I ’liked to see education short. I believeeducation can become so efficient and well-designed that we can finish our education from ABCto master ’ s degree in just 10 years time. So by the time a person is 16, he or she will be ready tostart living.3. Education will become a technical evolution. 技术的进化Maybe I ’ veseen too many science fiction movies, but I believe science and technology will revolutionize the way we receive education. And this will happen during the next 50 years. Yousee! We can put all the knowledge of human kind into little computer chips, and we can open asocket to our, I don ’ t know, brain. So every time we want to use a particular knowledge, we just plug it in, you know, like a USB disk. Wouldn ’ t that be cool?4. Science and technology will make it possible for all countries to share education resources. We often say that the world is flat now. What makes it flat? Science and technology,tele- communication, especially internet. So I wouldn ’ t be crazy toinimaginethefuturethat50 years, with the help of internet video conferencing, we can bring the image of a professor of Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, you name it, into the classrooms in China. Therefore, internationally famous professors and ideas can be shared globally.必背口语作文：（一定要背诵，加油吧！）1法律规则的重要性：people tend to rebel against laws and regulations, because we want to have more freedom.However, we cannot deny the necessity of rules. Without laws, there will be no order in society.And I ’ m not an expert on laws since I’ m not a law student.But I found“ the prohibition of smoking in public places”an incredibly good law.I don’ t know exactly when it was put into practice,but I guess France is the first country in the whole wide world to make such a legislationthat smoking is banned in all public places all over the country.This is a great law for the individual and for the state.I mean, come on, think about it. Smoking is so harmful in so many ways.It causes lung cancer to millions of people every year,and it ’ s totally uncivilized to smoke in public places because other people will be affected by your smoking since your second-hand smoke is everywhere.After smoking, your clothes stink of cigarettes.And it’ s not polite and professional if you go to work covered in the smell of smoke.And smoking is the reason for many fire accidents and disasters every year.(这一段也可以直接用作“不良习惯话题”)Therefore, such is a good law.I don’ t know when such a law will be made in China.But once it is enforced, my country will be a much cleaner place.I know it ’naturals for people to hate any new law since the law brings to people limitation, confinement and restraints.Yet, hey, someone once said, “ Youcan only truly enjoy freedom after you have experienced discipline.”只有受过纪律约束的人才知道自由的真正乐趣. (283 words)2最喜爱的运动：My favorite sport is without a shadow of a doubt basketball.And, funny story, I met a NBA basketball player for the first time in my life at an airport when Iwasn’ t that familiar with NBA.I looked at him and did n’ t know who he wa. Now I think about it, it was Kobe Bryant.Wow! I had no idea! What a waste of opportunity! I mean, Icould i didn ’ t. Ooooh, I hate myself.’ ve asked for an autograph. ButI ’ m a huge fan of the L.A. Lakers. ThereTo start with, it ’dynasty in the forming.Some’ re too manythis. reasons forpeople say that Shaquille O’ nealand KobeBryant, THAT was a dynasty!But I’ m not a big fan of Shaq; I love Kobe.Being a guard, he’ s all around.He scored 81 points back in 2006 in a game against the Toronto Raptors.In 2007, around the same time of the year, he scored more than 50 for four consecutive games.And this year, he’ s taking the Lakers all the way to the Final after beating San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Final.And before that they beat Utah Jazz.We often say that there’ s no easy game in the West. And Kobe and his team came all the way. That could only mean one thing-- They ’ re unbelievably good.I play basketball whenever I can. And I even imitate some of Kobe’ s moves.I ’ m notthat tall, but still, I can jump shoot, do the lay-up, and if the hoop is low enough, doa slam dunk.Being a guard is like being a captain of a team.You initiate every attack, you decide the offense strategy. And when you give out assists, youhelping other teammates;when you ’ re hitting three-pointers, you’ re encouraging the whole team. When you do a-uplayina fast break, you’ re pissing off your opponents.The more you play basketball, the more you find theregame.’ s more to basketballphysicalthan just aIt has a mental state to it.How to be selfless, how to contribute to the team instead of just thinking for yourself, how towork with others--these are also questions we have face in real life.The NBA has a catch phrase "i love this game". It is more than i can say about it .And this yeari found it was changed,now it is where the amazing happens! Dave Stern is absolutely a genius!bas provides me more than the excercise, but more importantly the inspiration and encouragementin my life! I love it!!3最喜爱的老师：It ’ s about teachers in our lives.No doubt, teachers are important as they provide not only education but more critically, life guidance.We should always feel grateful to our teachers.Talking about my favorite teacher, there ’nos ne other than Mr. chen, our first mathematics teacherin senior high school.I remember back then, I was so young, so immature, and frankly, alittle bit stupid because I was so lazy at learning. I didn ’ t realize that learning was for my own future. And Mr. Chen totally changed that.His writing on the blackboard was so clean and beautiful that every time he wrote on the blackboardwe enjoyed looking at it so much. Naturally, that increased my interest in learning the subject. Histeaching methodology was so versatile that we never felt bored.It was so fun!He was very different from the other teachers, because he looked very thin,and if he wasany thinner, he wouldn't exist.And he was unbelievably responsible for us.She treated us as her own children.He impacted my life greatly since it was he who showed me that not working hard when you canis a crime.I remember he said to me one day“ We’ re not foolish, we’ re not stupid,and we need to fight for our own future with blood, sweat and tears.”Someone said,a mediocre teacher tells;a good teacher explains;a superior teacher demonstrates;and a great teacher inspires.To me he's the greatest teacher I’ ve ever known.(268words)4 音乐 Music：I love music. I love every last one kind of music.From Jazz to Classical, hip pop to blues, Rock and Roll to Country music.Different music genres create a variety of moods for you.Sometimes, a piece of music can complement a movie so well that you remember the movie andthe song all together.I can remember back then, when I f irst saw the movie“ Titanic” , I was deeply moved by the story.and the song sung by Celine Dion-- “ My heart will go on --made”a great impression to me.it won the Oscar for best original score for a motion picture that year and was played all over theworld.Every where you went you would hear it.Celine Dion sang it so well that you feel like it touched the soft-spot of your soul.Even today, almost 10 years later, it’ s still considered one of the most beautiful songs of all time.I think the song communicates a message that love is universal, and it transcends socialclasses and family backgrounds.And true love is worth dying for.The movie “ Titanic ” won many Oscars that year.And I think this song played a crucial role in themovie ’ s success.(200 words)5 电影（ A Movie: E.T）： .I go to the movies almost once every month, and I have an extensive DVD collection at home.So, it’ s safe to say I’ m a big movie buff.In a sense, movies educate us, inspire us, and provide more life experience to us.My favorite movies are many.And the one that I want to talk about here is E.T., the ExtraTerrestial by Steven Spielberg.I know this movie is very old, more than 20 years I think.But when I saw it last year, I was still quite moved by it.It is about an Alien, E.T. and his friendship with some kids on earth, how they tried very hard/everyeffort to get E.T. home ，how in the process they became very good friends,and how E.T. learned to speak English very fast.This unusual friendship between people of different planets is so unique and so pure.The warmth in that movie makes me feel great, even now the world is with a lot of problems.It ’ s a kind of movie that will put you in a very good mood.And I couldn ’ t help shedding tears when E.T. had to go back to the mother ship and when thelittle girl said goodbye.I was moved by the pureness of their friendship. It restores faith in people ’hearts about truefriendship.And it’ s definitely a movie to watch, a movie to collect and a movie to remember.6 奢侈品（ Luxury）：In many countries and cultures, owing something of luxury is considered a symbol of wealth andstatus.Such luxuries may include a private boat, posh villas, diamond watch and the list goes on.I like expensive things because I believe you get what you pay for, and higher price is usuallyaccompanied by superior quality.I ’ d like to think that one day I can have enough money to afford luxurious things in life.The first extravagant thing I’ d like to own is probably a car.A Lamborghini may be cool.Since I saw it f irst on the magazine and later in the movie“ Mission Impossible III” , I couldn loving it.The exterior and the interior are both of the world’ s highest class. It’ s one fast running m It ’ s born for speed.In addition to the excellent performance, it provides much convenience to the driver too，GPS, automatic air-conditioning, DVD system, hi-fi system,you name it.Another reason why I love it is the sturdy bodywork of the car.Lamborghini makes their cars really strong so when you st, you’restilldrivingfeelquitefa safe.I guess it won’ t surprise people when they discover the price of the car is unbelievably high.It will cost you an arm and a leg to buy it, about 4 million RMB. I don’ t think I will be able toit in a short time.However, I believe people are driven by dreams.’ ll be successful enough to own one.As long as it ’ s a dream for me, one day I (257words)7 电脑（ Computer）：Of all the things I have and had, computer is probably the most important thing in my life.As the world is changing fast, technology is getting more and more cutting edge.Computers are indispensable in everyone’ s life.And there ’ s no need to stress on the significance of computer skills. Computers make things easyand bring about increasingly new possibilities into our lives.Just look at what computers are capable of doing these days.I mean, Wow! Talking about state-of-the-art!Internet brings people closer ，and makes the world smaller than ever before.People can easily talk to each other through on-line chatting programs, no matter where theyare.With a webcam you can see each other’ s faces. And the good news is, it’ s almost free. Plus, internet- shopping is revolutionizing all people’ s lives.On-line shopping websites like E-bay and are getting popular among more andmore people.I got my first laptop back in high school as a prize for my good grades. It was a gray DELL.I used it to collect information about sports and entertainment, beautiful pictures and movieclips.I read English news on line, listen to English music and watch English movies both on and off line.So, if there’ s one thing I love the most, and one thing that benefits my study and life the most, itabsolutely my computer.8 理想住所（ Ideal Home）：My idea of an ideal house is a place with an excellent natural surrounding.I mean I don’ t want to live in the city, with all the hustle and bustle of the city life.I want to be able to enjoy some peace and quiet when I go home.So my ideal home should be in the country.You know, lots of trees, maybe a river, fresh air, clean water, fewer people⋯Make no mistake about it, I’ m not going to live a farmer’ s life.I want my interior dé cor to be posh, trend-setting, and full of technology.I want to have a fully-equipped study, desktop computer, laptop computer, hi-fi system, andmany more appliances.I want a big living room with windows all the way from the ceiling to the floor, all around.So there will be a lot of sunshine and beautiful things to look at.My master bedroom should be spacious, so it will reduce the pressure of mine.I move a lot in my sleep so I want a king-sized bed.I want my interior to be colorful. Just like my life.Full of passion, full of energy, and full of possibilities.I don’ t know when I can own it. But as longas I strive for it, one day it will be mine.(227 words)9 梦想 Dream：This is a very intriguing question.Dream is an excellent thing. It motivates you and keeps you going; it gives you courage and strength. And I believe whatever dream you have, one day it will come true.I saw a movie recently; the name is The American Dreamz.In that movie, everyone wants to become a hit singer through a talent show.Not everyone will win the ultimate title, but the struggle, the hard-work make the exciting.I was inspired by that movie, because I got power from it.Right now, in China, there are also many talent shows like that.And many young people have already made their dreams come true.It ’ s exciting to see their lives now. And I can’ t helpyselfwantingtoo. that for m My dreams are many.I want to own a worldwide company, and be a really good CEO,just like Steve Jobs of Apple Computer.And I love cars, I love driving.I hope one day, I can own my sports car, a Lamborghini, maybe.

She was 85.In my life, she played an irreplaceable role.When I was young, my parents were extremely busy.It was my grandma that took care of me all the time.She attended to all the details in my life.It wasn’ t easy looking after me, I’ ll tell you that.When I was 8 months old, an unfortunate accident happened to me.I was burnt by hot milk. Can you imagine?My grandma took good care of me.I got better so fast because of her care. I owe so much to her.From the time I was born until I became a grown-up, she had always been by my side, loving and caring.Her passing away made me felt great emptiness and loss.I ’ m still adjusting to life without her.I ’ m learning to be strong and learning to take care of myself.In a way, her passing away changed me, helped me to become more mature and responsible.Up until now, that has been the most important thing that happened in my life.I absolutely can’ t forget it, NOT for ever.11 学校My School：In the early part of our lives, we re gonna have’ to go through a number of schools to completeour education.Of all the schools that I’ ve been at, my college, liaoning University played a most important part in making me who I am todayFirst things first, it’ s a huge comprehensivetywithuniversimorethan 26,000 enrolled students.And you can find all majors here, environmental engineering, information technology, English,you name it.The campus is quite big, with more than 500 square kilometers.And it almost feels like a small city with all the infrastructure a person may need for daily life. Accommodation, food court, supermarket, sports ground ⋯The teachers that I had were all responsible for their students and conscientious about their job.There are many foreign teachers here who are willing to help us in and out of class.No doubt, my English improved because of them. My university is my second home.And the four years I studied in it were also the time during which I grew up to be a mature,and independent-thinking person.I found out who I was, who I am and who I want to be in my university.In this sense, the teachers I met, the information I was given to, and the environment I was living inat my university really influenced my life greatly.(227 words)12选课问题： chose the most difficult classes, even it means that you cannot get a very good score.first of all, grade is very important, but it is only part of the enjoyment and the achivement youcan get from the calss.The reason why we go to class, is we want to be infulence by the professor and the students,so to improve ourselves.the students that go to the most difficult class are usually the a s students. You will beputing yourself among the elicits.students of top intellegence, and be around them you will enhance your requirment of yourself. Sequencely and gradually, you will makesteady progress.And the professor teach the most difficult class has to be the best professor at the school.And because only the top students attend the such classes, the professor will not hold backin teaching.He will be more free in challenging the students intellengece.Being in this class, you will have the opportunity to dig up your potential,and you know what, you are much better than all the students that go to a less difficult class.As most people are intimidated by the most difficult class, so very often, you find very fewpeople in the class.What happen next, your professor become more avilible to you, you will get more personal。
