PART I DICTATION

Think Positively and Feel Positively

Are you confident or insecure in a difficult situation? Do you react positively or negatively?

The answer may depend in part on whom you are around.

A study found that negative thinking can be contagious in some cases. For example, the

researchers studied 103 college roommates. They measured each roommate’s tendency towards negative thinking. It was found that thinking patterns can be contagious. Students with a negative

thinking roommate became more depressed themselves and students with more positive thinking

roommates were more likely to become more positive as well.

参考范文

When it comes to whether parents should take their children to spend holidays during

term-time, views on the issue vary from person to person. Parents claim that by doing so, they can

save a lot of money born of busy school holidays. Educational officials strongly oppose this

tendency on the ground that it encourages truancy, which in turn damages a child’s

education.

From my perspective, the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits.

To begin with, taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normal

teaching process, one of the key elements to guarantee kid’s academic performance. As we know,

currently, teachers have the discretion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each

child, which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays. By

definitely abolishing the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom, th teachers can rarely be pestered by parents who want to take children to go on a holiday just to save

money, which severe ly disrupts teaching process. What ‘s more, without strict penalties imposed

on the parents who lead to their kid’s playing truant, those parents can gradually view asking for

holiday leave as a right. Once this cultural expectation is formed, the level of truancy will

dramatically increase.

Accordingly, the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay. In this

way, teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving

money at the expense of sacrificing their kid’s education.
