What we really esteem is his persistence .Only by this could Armstrong become the only person to win seven times.(可用之处:1.persistence 2.one's deep love to career 3.optimistic 4.是否经历苦难才能成功){2}Lance Armstrong ,an America former professional road racing cyclist ,won the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times. Unfortunately, in 2004 reporter Pierre Ballester published a book alleging Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs, which leads a heavy blow to his reputation .Facing with such a terrible situation, Armstrong immediately sued for libel according to legislation to prove his innocence. It is by this rapid response that enormously reduces the loss from not only his reputation but also his finance.(可用之处:1.quick response 2.面对批判该如何面对)2. Yao Ming{1} Yao Ming, the best-known basketball player in China, is the most outstanding Asia athlete along NBA history. While at the beginning of his NBA career, several commentators, including Bill Simmons and Dick Vitale, predicted that Yao would fail in the NBA. Also, famous basketball player Charles Barkley make fun on Yao, saying that he would kiss Kenny Smith's ass if Yao scored more than 19 points in one of his rookie-reason games .Under the mocking from medium, Yao is in a great calmness because he clears that if he pays more attention on arguing with them, he would have less time on training. It is by his attitude toward it that wins the respects from others.(可用之处:1.外界的干扰2.快速回应并不好3.付出汗水才会有回报)3. Iraq WarMistakes are easily taken if a proposition has been made just by ones own. For instance, the Iraq War, the war that began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by the United States under the administration of President George W Bush. However, about the administration had been argued for a long time. In fact, at the time when the invasion of Iraq first been put forward, most senators were indisagreement .Unfortunately, the President Bush willfully persisted doing that. As the result, such a great loss not only in large casualties but also in a depression of America economy testifies that the Iraq War at the beginning is incorrect. These great losses remind us of not being self-opinionated because usually mistakes can be taken without the help of others’.(可用之处:1.一意孤行会适得其反;2.做事应集合众人的建议)4. Challenger{1} In some cases, a tiny mistake may cause a huge catastrophe. For example, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred in 1986, when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean. Disintegration of entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff .The O-ring failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed, allowing pressurized hot gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB attachment hardware. It is this tiny mistake that broke up the orbiter. Therefore it is as vital to concern the situation as a whole as it is to emphasis details.(可用之处:1.细节决定成败;2.小的错误会酿成大错){2}Nothing will suspend the human exploration of the universe. For instance, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. However, after the accident, NASA continue their project on investigation, hearing , engineering redesign of the SRBs, and other behind-the-senses technical and management reviews ,changes and preparations. In 1988, Space Shuttle Discovery lifted of with a crew of five from Kennedy Space Center, which represented a test of the redesigned boosters, a shift to a more conservative stance on safety. As a matter of fact, not all progress can easily be made under whatever situations while nothing will stop our attempts to explore new knowledge.5. Frank YangFrank Yang, a renowned physicist who won the Nobel Prize in theoretical physical. Although he won the top achievement –Nobel Prize for his non-conservation of parity theory, he struggled with what kind of physics he would choose at the start. When he was a graduate student, his major was experimental physics. At MIT, there was a joke widespread disseminated. It said “you can find Frank wherever has an explosion.” He tried hardly to improve his procedures, and repeated his experiment over and over; he still couldn’t figure out how to solve the problems. After his professor had an access to what he had done, the professor was attracted by his summary talent and steady theoretical physics knowledge. The professor suggested Frank that he should re-choose his major, and switchexperimental physics to theoretical physics. Frank adopted his professor idea. Consequently, he devoted his life to the theoretical which is more suitable for him and acquired the remarkable achievements for science and human. If he had not taken the advice from his professor, he might never stand out or accomplish any valuable things for human.6. BusinessPersistence plays an essential role in determining one's success in business. For example, Chirrs Gardner, the main character in the movie named The Pursuit of Happiness, is trying to be a stockbroker at a company because of the financially breaking. Excellent calculating skills are necessary for a good stockbroker. However, he knows nothing about it. Untalented as he is, he never gives up, squeezing time to finish his work when other competitors take a rest .Also, he always busy working between officers and customers tireless .After 6 months training, it is his persistence in working that guarantees his great success. Therefore, what I want to emphasize is that the individuals without outstanding ability can be successful by being persistent.7. John NashBefore 1950, Adam Smith was respected as “the father of Game Theory”, he wrote a famous book named The Wealth of Nations and demonstrated “perfect competition” which was commonly accepted by people. There is a sentence from the book “Individual ambition serious the common good” which means when each individual pursue his own interests, the benefits of the group will be improved most effectively. However, John Nash, a normal mathematician in Princeton University, created a theory “Nash Equilibrium” whic h laid the foundation of Game Theory in 1950. He doubted the statement from Adam Smith, and he succeeded. John Nash wrote a 28 pages dissertation to argue a new theory. Due to the fact that personal benefits conflict each other, the interest of a group will be harmed. To ensure the interests of whole group, individuals should find equilibrium between the personal and group interests. Consequently, John Nash received the Nobel Prize in economics and fundamentally reformed the arena of economics.8. Henry FordHenry ford, one of the most influential inventors in the history, was always inattentive in school. Once, he and a friend took a watch apart to probe the principle behind it. Angry and upset, the teacher punished him both to stay after school. Their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. But the teacher did not know young ford’s genius, in ten minutes; this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home. It is imagination that invigorated Ford to make a through inquiry about things he did not know. He once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. Then he waited to see what would happen. The water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. Since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. The explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. Ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off, when he built his imagination of horseless carriage into reality, thehistory of transportation was changed forever.9.

He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death.

sat英语作文In the 21st century, technology has become an integral partof our daily lives, transforming the way we communicate, work, and learn. The field of education, in particular, has witnessed a significant shift in its approach and methodology due to the advent of various technological tools and platforms. This essay aims to explore the impact oftechnology on modern education, discussing both itsadvantages and challenges.Introduction:The traditional model of education, which primarily relied on the teacher-student interaction in a classroom setting, has evolved to include digital resources and online learning platforms. Technology has not only made education more accessible but also more interactive and personalized.Body Paragraph 1 - Advantages of Technology in Education:One of the most significant advantages of technology in education is the accessibility it provides. Students from remote areas can now attend virtual classes and access educational materials online, which was not possible a few decades ago. Moreover, technology has made learning more engaging through the use of multimedia content, such as videos, animations, and interactive simulations, which caterto different learning styles.Body Paragraph 2 - Personalized Learning:Another benefit of technological integration in education is the ability to provide personalized learning experiences. Adaptive learning software can tailor educational content to the individual needs of each student, ensuring that they learn at their own pace and focus on areas where they need improvement.Body Paragraph 3 - Challenges of Technology in Education: Despite the numerous benefits, the integration of technology in education also presents challenges. One of the primary concerns is the digital divide, where unequal access to technology can exacerbate educational inequalities. Additionally, there is the issue of information overload, where students struggle to discern credible sources from the vast amount of information available online.Body Paragraph 4 - The Role of Teachers in a Technological Era:The role of teachers in the age of technology has also transformed. They are no longer just imparters of knowledge but facilitators of learning, guiding students in navigating the digital landscape. Teachers must also be adept at using technology to enhance their teaching methods and engage students effectively.Conclusion:In conclusion, technology has revolutionized the field of education, offering unprecedented opportunities for learning and growth. While there are challenges to overcome, the potential benefits are immense. It is crucial for educational institutions to address the digital divide and equip bothstudents and teachers with the necessary skills to harness the power of technology effectively.

SAT作文真题+满分范文(高难度)
SAT作文真题+满分范文(高难度)请学生每天挑选一篇文章,翻译成中文然后第二天根据中文,翻译回英文然后找学习顾问检查Assignment: Should we admire heroes but not celebrities? (2007.10)There are people suggesting that we should admire heroes but not celebrities. Admittedly, heroes are famous because they are great people, while a certain number of people become celebrities only because of their undeserved fame. However, this does not mean that all celebrities are not worthy admiration. In fact, there are still a multitude of admirable celebrities who are also amazing people and can bring us enormous positive influence.An excellent example to prove this point is Nicholas James Vujicic, who is not a hero saving a country but a celebrity famous for his unusual experiences. He was born with a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs but now is a well-known motivational speaker helping thousands of people. While born with no limbs, Vujicic was not defeated by his disability. Instead, he learned to transcend his disability. With his optimism and persistence, he successfully mastered the daily tasks of life, like typing, shaving, brushing teeth and answering the phone, and he even learned to dive and throw tennis balls without limbs. Now he is a man grateful for life and a motivational speaker giving talks to share his stories and to encourage people to be confident and thankful. A tremendous amount of his fans have learned from him optimism, self-confidence, persistence and gratitude, and I am also one of them. Vujicic is now my idol. Whenever I encounter obstacles or failures, I think of him, and then I get courage to move on.Another example of the celebrities worthy of admiration is Steve Jobs, the former CEO of the present extremely successful Apple Inc. Though not a hero saving the whole world, Jobs is, undoubtedly, one of the most renowned and influential people in the human history. His innovation has transformed a variety of fields like computer, music, movie, phone and retailing. Today,people around the world are learning from him. Entrepreneurs learn from him leadership, management and inspiring. Designers learn from him how to create a product that is both functional and beautiful. Students learn from him how to pursue what they are truly passionate about. Ordinary people who are craving for success learn from him the secrets to spectacular achievement. As a world-known celebrity, Jobs is definitely worth admiring. His wisdom and legacy will benefit generations of people.Nicholas James Vujicic and Steve Jobs are only two of the countless examples of the celebrities that worth admiring. Worshiping these famous people is no less valuable than looking up to heroes.(2006.6) Do we tend to accept the opinions of others instead of developing our own independent ideas?It is rare to find an objective and independent viewpoint on style, literature, politics, or any other matter. Many people's opinions are formed through their associations with others. It is our nature to conform; conformity is a force that few can successfully resist. We give in to the human instinct to go along with the crowd and to have its approval.Truly, it is our nature to conform, and human’s long history has witnessed the prevalence of conformity among the general public. However, this does not indicate that we will give in to our nature all the time. In the modern age, with education available to most people and with competition heating up around the globe, people in mounting number are developing their own independent ideas instead of blindly conforming to others.In history, there are abundant examples revealing that most of the remarkable breakthroughs that humans have ever made are invariably attributable to a few individuals’ independent ideas instead of those of the majority. This indicates a significant fact about the majority of our ancestors, that is, a strong tendency to conform to conventional thoughts and wisdom with little independent questioning. For instance, one of the biggest revolution in the field of astronomy was sparked by an individual—Copernicus whosehel iocentric model transformed people’s understanding of the universe. Before Copernicus’ novel idea was popularized, the public at the time tended to conform to the widely held views, believing that Earth was the center of the universe. Had it not been for C opernicus’ novel theory, the public would have been fooled for longer time.However, fortunately, this is no longer the case with modern people who have more and easier accesses to public education. Since modern education highly values critical thinking and independent thinking, people receiving this education are all encouraged and trained to do independent thinking. Hence, now it is not uncommon to see children challenging their parents’ excessive controlling at home, students questioning their teachers in class, and people protesting against unjust laws or policies in the street. These are all the manifestations of modern people’s independent thinking.Another factor contributing to the strong tendency to independent thinking is the rigorous global competition facing the present world. To succeed in this highly competitive world, one has to resort to innovation, which entails independent thinking. Hence, the ability to think independently has become a key element of one’s success. The unprecedented success of Apple Company is the best illustration of this. Thanks to its exceptional creativity, Apple not only defeats all his rivals but also brings us such amazing products as iPad and iPhone. In a word, the pressure of living in the world rife with competition is forcing people to nurture their independent thinking ability so that they can innovate and then succeed.In the past, humans were subject to conformity, but it is not the case now. The widespread public education and the competition around the world are shaping the strong tendency for people to think independently rather than just blindly following others’ steps.Assignment: When some people win, must others lose, or are there situations in which everyone wins? (2009.6)It is often assumed that when someone wins, there must be people losing. Indeed, there are some people whose winning is at the cost of the happiness of others. However, this does not mean that there is no situation in which everyone wins. In fact, when we cooperate with others, there will be a win-win situation.An excellent example to illustrate this point is the international cooperation among countries around the world to deal with the deteriorating global warming. Scientists and environmentalists have warned us that our planet is facing a warming climate globally, which will cause a series of problems like ice melting in Antarctic areas, rising of sea levels, desertification and so on. These problems will severely threaten humans’survival in the near future. Cognizant of the possible catastrophic consequences of global warming, nations around the world are trying to reach an agreement to curb global warming. While the international cooperation concerning this issue is not going on smoothly, once the international agreement is settled down, every nation will benefit from this joint effort. Once our planet is exempt from the threat of global warming, each nation will be protected. In this case, every nation is a winner. In other words, this international cooperation creates a win-win situation.Apart from international cooperation, in business world, it is also not uncommon to see win-win situations. A typical example is the partnership between Apple Company and such top record companies as Time Warner. When Jobs unveiled iPod in 2001, he sensed that the music service provided by record companies at the time was far from satisfactory. Nor were the record companies themselves satisfied with the music service, for there was massive piracy hurting their profits. Hence, to improve music service, Jobs and his team created the iTunes Store and persuaded the top record companies at the time such as Warner Music and Universal Music Group to sell music in the iTunes Store. In this successful partnership, both Apple Company and the record companies were winners, for the rising popularity of the iTunes Store not only immensely sparked the sales of iPod, but also stimulated the sales of the music of those record companies, helping them sell a million songs in six days. Now the iTunes Store it has been the most popular music vendor in the world since 2010. The spectacular success of the iTunes Store is just another example of win-win situation.One’s winning does not have to occur at the expense of others’ success or happiness. As shown in the above two examples, when there is successful cooperation, there will be a win-win situation.Assignment: Can common sense be trusted and accepted, or should it be questioned? (2009.6)Common sense is the product of society’s norms during a certain time frame, prone to reinventing itself at the change of an opinion. Such “common sense” cannot be the natural basis of all decisions and must be questioned, as it is contingent upon fickle norms.Millennia ago, the Egyptians believed that thought and reasons were formed inside the heart, not the brain. Thus, during the process of embalmment, they threw away the brain while carefully preserving the heart in an assortment of herbs. It was common sense, they thought, that one’s center of knowledgeshould rest in the center of the body. We know now that what they believed to be “common sense” was in fact flawed and incorrect, yet at the time, Egypt was the most technologically advanced nation on the planet and its beliefs were thought to be the most correct. By ancient Egypt’s e xample, we can clearly see that one era’s common sense may become utter nonsense with the passing of time.Centuries ago, the Chinese believed that their emperor was divine, a son of the heavens who had to be respected and worshipped at all times. It seems ridiculous now, that any mere mortal could be seen as a divinity, yet religious common sense of the 10th century persuaded all citizens that it was noble and necessary to worship their ruler. Their common sense depended on the religious beliefs of their time – beliefs we now perceived to be incorrect and even somewhat silly. Common sense, it seems, does not always confer common sensibility.Decades ago, Americans believed that it was common sense to spread a certain pesticide in their fields – because who could want bugs preying on potentially profitable wheat, corn, or rice products? The pesticide they used was DDT, and years later, we now know that what Americans of the mid 1900s believed to be beneficial common sense translated into environmental harm and ecosystem destruction.From the scientific beliefs of ancient Egyptians to the religious and agricultural “common sense” of the Chinese and Americans, it is evident that common sense is quite common but not necessarily sensible.。

我给大家找了一篇满分作文,写的是失败到成功的故事,大家可以参考。
This past year, I was auditioning for the fall play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." To my detriment I thought it would be a good idea to watch the movie in order to prepare. For two hours I studied Elizabeth Taylor's mannerisms, attitude, and diction, hoping I could mimic her performance. (背景)I auditioned for the part of “Maggie” feeling perfectly confident in my portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor, however, I was unaware that my director saw exactly what I had been thinking. Unfortunately, I didn‘t get the part, and my director told me that he needed to see “Maggie” from my perspective, not Elizabeth Taylor’s.(失败的记忆)I learned from this experience, and promised myself I would not try to imitate another actress, in order to create my character. (从失败中经验教训)Persevering, I was anxious to audition for the winter play just two months later. The play was Neil Simon's "Rumors," and would get the opportunity to play "Chris,"a sarcastic yet witty role, which would be my final performance in high school. In order to develop my character, I planned out her life just as I thought it should be, gave her the voice I thought was right, and the rest of her character unfolded beautifully from there. (准备过程)My director told me after the first show that “Rumors” was the best work he‘d ever seen from me, and that he was amazed at ho w I’d developed such a believable character. (成功)实战演练:接下来我们来做一个工作,就着这个素材来写5月的题目。

conver sation作文
conver sation作文英文回答:Conversation is an essential part of human interaction. It allows us to express our thoughts, share ideas, and connect with others. Whether it's a casual chat withfriends or a formal discussion in a professional setting, conversation plays a crucial role in our daily lives.In my opinion, conversation is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps build relationships. When we engage in conversation with someone, we establish a connection and get to know them on a deeper level. For example, I recently had a conversation with a colleague at work about our shared love for travel. This conversation led to us planning a trip together and strengthened our friendship.Secondly, conversation is a valuable learning tool. Through conversation, we can exchange knowledge and gainnew insights. For instance, I often have conversations with my language exchange partner to improve my Mandarin skills. During these conversations, I not only learn new vocabulary and grammar structures but also gain a better understanding of Chinese culture and customs.Furthermore, conversation promotes effective communication. It allows us to express our thoughts, feelings, and opinions clearly and concisely. For example, when I had a disagreement with a friend, we sat down and had a conversation to discuss our perspectives. Throughthis conversation, we were able to understand each other better and find a resolution to our conflict.Lastly, conversation is a form of self-expression. It gives us a platform to share our ideas, dreams, and aspirations. For instance, I recently had a conversation with my family about my career goals. By expressing my ambitions and discussing them with my loved ones, I felt supported and motivated to pursue my dreams.中文回答:对我来说,对话是人类互动的重要组成部分。

新sat作文范文og新版satog作文有范文SAT写作真题:Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?SAT写作范文:Every person has his or her own idea of ethics and morality, regardless of objective truth. Authority figures, whether teachers, heads of nations, or other positions of power, may not always be in line with that morality. In order to determine whether an authority figure is doing what is just, individuals must speak out when they perceive injustice. Oftentimes, that means questioning authority.Despotic novels often portray systems of national leadership in which questioning governmental authority is explicitly forbidden. George Orwell’s novel 1984 is such a story. The government is known collectively as "Big Brother," who is a symbolic entity continually watching over every citizen. The language, Newspeak, is constantlybeing updated to control people’s expression and thereby control their thoughts. Anyone caught even thinking something other than Big Brother would want them to think are arrested by the Thought Police. Under this regime, there are virtually no independent thinkers. Every piece of information given to the people es through the government, which has the power to change facts and history with utter impunity. The main character, Winston, manages to catch on, but in the end, he is finally brainwashed by torture. In this society of obedient drones, truth is irrelevant because there are no lies.When a student goes through formal education, he must be on his guard when it es to what he absorbs. In the midst of objective facts, all too often a teacher may attempt to indoctrinate him with the teacher’s own ideology. One need only look at the majority of United States universities. There are thousands of easily-aessed articles exposing documented incidences of teachers boldly instilling intheir students the liberal ideology. Universities are cesspools of leftist professors who punish students who express differences of opinion. Yet without those fewquestioning students, the rest of the student body would be subjected to unadulterated liberal lectures, with nary an opposing view in earshot. In order to form proper opinions, students must be exposed to both sides of an issue, and both sides must be questioned so as to ascertain the truth of each.Leaders of other countries must also be questioned by nonresidents so as to discover precisely what is happening under their authority.哈, 我教过这篇. 楼主说的那篇文章是难借鉴, 但是它的优点还有可以学的, 如词汇的多样话, 句型等, 当然还有organization.楼主自己说的对, 如果没法从interest写到 change, 那就得换个理由, 嗯? 再说一个理由一般也不够. 其实那个interest可以扩展一下, 从interest写到desire and drive, 就可以联系到change. 可以举一些个人生活中的例子.我是美籍华人英语老师, 这里没法细说, 有问题的话在线找我, ___也可以, 但是百度留言我有可能看不到...But是连词,最好不这么用。

托福写作题型简介及备考策略——独立写作
托福写作题型简介及备考策略——独立写作托福写作有分为独立写作和综合写作两个部分今天小编就来和大家分享一下独立写作的题型简介以及备考策略,希望对大家有帮助!托福写作题型简介及备考策略——独立写作1 托福独立写作介绍1.1 典型问法托福独立写作部分(the Independent Writing Task)为新托福写作试题的第二个部分,要求考生针对某个问题提出自己的论点并展开,考试时间为30分钟。
这种题目的典型问法为:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?[A sentence or sentences that present an issue appear here]Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.1.2 评分原则和评分标准评分原则:从2010年1月开始,iBT写作评分系统做出重大改革。
由原来的两位阅卷者独立阅卷给分,两个分数的算术平均值为原始分,改为一个阅卷人和一个电脑评分系统(E-Rater)分别给分。
其中,E-Rater负责Linguistic feature(语言因素),即语法,句法和结构;人工负责文章内容和含义;两部分相加,即为考生的作文原始分。
而最终的分数则与原始分所占的百分比(Percentile)相关:比如30分对应97.9%,即只有2.1%的人得到了满分。
评分标准:Score 5: An essay as this level largely accomplishes all of the following:Effectively addresses the topic and task;Is well-organized and well-developed, using clearly appropriate explanation, exemplifications, and/or details;Display unity, progression and coherence;Display consistent facility in the use of language,demonstrating syntactic variety, appropriate word choice and idiomaticity, though it may have minor lexical or grammatical errors.评分标准解读:阅卷人会从考生是否切题,如何展开论点,如何组织文章结构和语言运用四个方面评估考生的文章。

SAT作文字数要求:
对于SAT作文题目,要求考生在45分钟内完成一篇约650字的作文。
虽然没有字数要求,但是实际上,考官会根据作文的字数、内容和表达能力来评判考生的表现。
因此,考
生应该在规定时间内尽可能地写出尽可能完整、精确和有条理的文章,文字数量维持在
650字左右即可。
在工作总结中,一般需要遵循以下的字体格式要求:
1. 字体:建议使用宋体、仿宋或楷体等比较常见且易于阅读的字体。
2. 字号:大部分正式文件的字号为小四号字,但也可以根据需要做出调整。
3. 行距:一般建议行距为1.5倍或两倍,这样更易于阅读。
4. 标题加粗:对于工作总结中的标题,建议使用加粗的字体以便突出重点。
5. 首行缩进:一般建议在每一段落第一行留白,以便于排版,在排版时更美观,同

6. 对齐:正文采用两端对齐或左对齐,标题和副标题采用居中对齐。
总的来说,工作总结的字体格式主要是要以简洁、规范和美观为主,不要在字体大小、颜色等方面过于花哨和突兀,以免影响读者的阅读体验。

托福TPO22独立写作题目+范文托福TPO22独立写作题目:Question:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Teachers should not make their social or political views known to students in the classroom.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福TPO22独立写作范文:It is indisputable that teachers play a pivotal role in teaching and guidance students in classes. They provide students a lot of precious knowledge which is very necessary for them in the future. However, should teacher show their social or political viewpoints to students? Each person has their own opinion toward this question. Some people approve it but others have the opposite one. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the latter that teachers should not make their social or political point of views in classes because it can reduce studying efficacy and influence viewpoints of students.First and foremost, those teachers express their social or political opinions on the classes could reduce students’ studying efficiencies. In the classes, it is better for both teachers and students to focus on lectures and related problems. Teachers should discuss with students aboutthe lectures, share their researching or working experiencesinstead of talking about their political viewpoints. It definitely will increase the studying efficacy in the classes. Moreover, it also provides students a lot of real and valuable experiences. They could use these if they face difficulties when they work in the real environment. Indeed, when teachers show their point of views on the classes, it should be considered to waste time of students Last but not least, when teachers make their social or political viewpoints known to students, they may influence students’ viewpoints. As a matter of fact, students usually do not have definite social or political standpoints. They are quite naive because they pay all their attention on studying and academic issues. Therefore, when teachers like showing their viewpoints, they may discuss or talk continuously about that issues. This really has an influence on the opinions of students, especially when their teachers’ opinions are biased. Additionally, this also prevents the free development of students. For instance, when my teacher usually express his disapproval about government, he makes us have the same opinions with him. Hence, most students of our class consider the policies or agreements of government are wrong or unsuitable without having any understanding about it. Obviously, the viewpoints of teachers have the potential to change the viewpoints of studentsAll in all, because when teachers manifest their social or political viewpoint on classes, it influences the studying effectiveness and students’ positions, I personally consider this is not a necessary work. I strongly recommend teachers concentrate on teaching and discussing academic-related issues on classes.托福写作具体字数内容的解析新托福独立写作的字数要求作为新托福写作考试的一大重点部分,独立写作要求考生在30分钟内完成一篇字数在300字左右的文章。
新SAT作文(Essay)详解:写作部分为选考
新SAT作文(Essay)详解:写作部分为选考作文部分(Essay)是新SAT所有内容中调整幅度最大的。
新旧SAT的作文部分具体有哪些不同?为什么会做出这样的改变?新SAT对考生有哪些新的要求?中国考生又会遇到什么样的挑战?以下的这篇文章是博图教育为您的详细解答。
现行SAT要求考生根据题干要求,在25分钟内写一篇大概400字的文章;新SAT的写作部分要求考生先读一篇的文章,然后对文章的内容和表达效果进行分析和评论,总时长是50分钟。
考试主要从文章了解、例证引用、行为逻辑、书面语言四个方面来评分。
现行SAT中,写作是必考,而在新SAT中,写作部分为选考。
College Board为什么会做这样的改变呢?首先,现行SAT的写作部分(Essay)主要依赖学生个人的自由表达,例证可以来自事实也可以来自学生个人经历。
由于不是每个人都有那么多素材可以挖掘,很多学生会瞎编乱造个人经历,严重违背了College Board一切以事实为准绳的严谨风格。
其次,多项研究表明加不加写作后的结果对学生大学表现的预测效果并无太大影响。
这直接导致了第三个影响因子:大学的招生官对于Essay部分的评价存在严重分歧。
作为上游机构的大学提出异议,College Board自然也无法强行要求。
(SAT写作<Essay>由必考变为选考并不意味着考生真的可以自由选择是否参考,因为只要考生申请的任何一所学校要求Essay分数,该考生就必须参加考试。
)新SAT写作(Essay)关键词读写结合新SAT要求考生先读一篇文章,然后再写一篇评论。
文章一般是议论文,650-750字,文章特点是难度适中,论证清晰。
从某种意义上说,新SAT作文是阅读部分的延伸。
阅读文章通常针对学生日常学习和生活中遇到的问题进行探讨,比如《细则》中的两篇文章,一篇是关于“文学和阅读的价值”的探讨,另一篇则是有关“黑夜的重要性”的分析。
在新SAT里,阅读文章是写作的基础,是写作中一切论据的来源,只有把文章读懂了才有写作的可能。
雅思写作之小作文(讲义1-2课)
机密雅思写作之小作文张家铭CHRISSelf-intro 张家铭Chris四级,考研,TOEFL ,SAT ,GRE ,IELTS ,GMAT.微博:@张家铭Chris微信:zjmxhxmm已接受雅思写作TASK 1TASK 2分数目标 6.5-7分范文分析The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. (C11T3W1)范文分析Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? (C13T1W2)It is clear that living in a foreign country has its own benefits and drawbacks to consider.I agree with this statement;however I think that anybody coming in another country should respect national culture.In this essay,I would like to outline the social and practical problems.The social problems would be language barrier,which means that a person coming from another country might not be able to speak and understand the language which might be a problem as far a person who is living in a country,and a person who came in the country.Another problem is linked to the language barrier,but it might influence the behaviour of others.An individual who come into the country might offend others with their behaviour or language.For example;some cultures like English people prefer to be very polite and say things differently from other cultures.Therefore,a person who doesn’t know how to behave in a particular culture might offend others around him.The practical problems would be misunderstanding of culture.That means that a person who visits other countries does not understand other culture and he behaves as he wants to.The second practical problem is finding a job.An individual who works in foreign country might not be appropriate for people who he serves.For example if an individual works in a restaurant,the people who live in a country and they were born in that country might not respect and not like the behaviour of a person who works in a restaurant,it might be because,the cultures are different.To summarise,it can be said that there are a lot of misconceptions which people have when they come in a foreign country,and in my opinion and from my personal experience people should educate themselves in order to know how to behave in different situations with different cultures.TASK 11.题型综述2.Task1的段落结构3.趋势的表达4.副词的写法5.常用短语的介绍Task 1 的六大题型题型考点与难点难度星级Pie chart Diversity of describing percentages **Bar chartCombination ****Line/curve chartTrends & classification ***TableHow to list statistics effectively ****diagramWriting sequence& imagination ****map Location/change *****Task1的段落结构1.Opening改写题目2.Body宏观描写:图标整体特征(main feature)微观描写:趋势,关键数值,对比等3.Ending/Conclusion明显特征:图中稳定的一些趋势、特征,极值隐藏特征:合理客观推理信息Opening一:换词:show:describe,illustrate,demonstrate proportion / percentageinformation / datanumber / figurecategories / kinds / types二.换句Opening 句型1As is shown / illustrated / demonstrated in the (1)图的类型,the (2)图的单位(number/amount/percentage/figure) of 图的主题(3)图的主要趋势(4)图的时间趋势:vary —动态图Differ —静态图(4)图的时间From...to...During...and...within...The graph below shows the difference modes of transport used to travel to and from work in one European city, in 1950,1970 and 1990.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.You should write at least 150 words.As is shown in the (1)图的类型, the (2)图的单位of 图的主题(3)图的主要趋势(4)图的时间As is demonstrated in the bar chart, the percentage of travellers to and from work by different modes of transport in one European city varied dramatically from 1950 to 1990.句型2The _____ chart(s) illustrate(s) a clearpicture/overview/information of the characteristics and trends(differentiation/contrast) of _____ .The table below shows the kilometers of route,date opened and passengers per year of the underground railway system in 6 cities.▪The table illustrates the differentiation concerning the length of route, launching year and the annual capacity of the metro system in6 metropolises.句型3▪两图题▪The ____ graph describes data(趋势) about ___ whilst the ____ chart illustrates information about ________.The line graph describes data about water use worldwide while thetable illustrates information about consumption in two different countries –Brazil and Congo.▪剑6 Test 1▪The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.Ending/Conclusion写1~2句结论:合理,客观即可1.明显特征:图中稳定的一些趋势、特征,极值2.隐藏特征:合理客观推理信息明显特征1.Overall, the graph shows how the consumption of chicken increased dramatically while the popularity of these other foods decreased over the period.2.what is worth mentioning is that before1989 beef was the most popular food and after that chicken became the most consumed meat.trend四种趋势:涨跌平波上涨下跌平稳波动increase decrease词语说明词语说明common words rise fallgrow declineclimb dropswell sinkPreferred words rocket90plummetsoar60slumpsurge45subsideboom30ebbascend20slidecreep up<10creep downSpecial words accrue小平涨abate小平跌leap大平涨plunge大平跌上升表达例1:意大利的工业产值增长了5%。
