Should Grant-aided Students Own Mobile Phones?In todays information era, being accessible to cell phones is of great significance for students to communicate effectively with others. For instance, through mobile phones they ca

10、n exchange useful information with each other, ask questions concerning lectures or seminars, reach professors or tutors for consultation and help themselves and others in an emergency. B. Should Government Launch Serious Campaigns against Smoking?Smoking gives rise to many deadly diseases and poses

11、 real threats to peoples health. One single cigarette contains more than 20 kinds of poisonous chemicals, which can seriously hurt the organs of human body such as lung, heart and liver. Statistics prove that each year as many as 3.5 million people die from smoking-related diseases. Smoking affects

12、the productivity of a society. According to a survey, smoking leads to a direct loss of $200 billion annually around the world, more than half of which comes fro developing countries.C.What Has Happened to Chinese Etiquette?We shall all take others feelings into consideration before we decide to do

13、something in public. Smoking in nonsmoking zones impinges the right and choice of other visitors for a smoke-free space. Putting shoes up and dirtying visitors chairs are not only unsightly but also blind to others feelings. Littering is disgusting and should be banned for the sake of a clean enviro

14、nment. No one ought to behave like that if they do not want others to do the same to them.2) Comparison & ContrastA. Some people hold the view that a students success in university study follows the same pattern as that of farming, which is characterized by sowing the seeds, nurturing the growth and

15、 harvesting the rewards process. SOWING THE SEEDS, NURTURING GROWTH AND HARVESTING THE REWARDS1) What does the metaphor mean to a college student?2) What might be the effects of (not) following the process?To start with, just as the farmers need to sow the seeds in the soil, college students need to

16、 absorb knowledge into their mind. A languid apple grower who ignores the process of sowing the seeds will find no apples at all when the harvest season comes. Likewise, a college student who has abandoned any attempt to absorb knowledge will be likely to find himself ignorant when he graduates from

17、 the college. By contrast, a successful student acts in an opposite way. He soaks up a variety of resources, such as reading extensively and gaining experience by doing some part-time jobs. He will never loaf around and waste time for nothing.Second, just as the farmers need to nurture their crops e

18、very now and then, university students need to consolidate what they have acquired in class. A lazy farmer who neglects fertilizing the soil will probably find his crops in bad conditions and have poor harvests in the end. A college student who is not diligent or not serious about learning will fail

19、 in his study. As a matter of fact, learning does not happen once and for all. It has been proved that those successful college students constantly review their lessons, seldom hesitate to turn to their teachers for answers to their puzzles and do a lot of reading related to what they have learned I

20、 order to solidify and update their knowledge. Finally, learning is also analogous to farming in that the more work you do, the greater reward you might gain. A hardworking farmer who has carefully sowed the seeds and nurtured the crops will undoubtedly have a good harvest at last. Equally, an indus

21、trious college student who is serious about learning and acquiring immense knowledge will surely get ahead in his future career.B.What Has Happened to Chinese Etiquette?In our society rules governing public behavior are often general and advocative and no clear-cut severe punishment is included. Tha

22、t is why some of our compatriots do not care a damn for improper behavior in public. In this sense Singapore sets us a good example as indicated in the pun “Singapore is a fine city”.3) Cause & EffectA.Should the Academic Honesty Contract Be Adopted?Honesty contract, being an administrative measure

23、of an institution, does not have any legal effect. Although the experience of signing such a contract will be engraved in the examinees memory, few students take it seriously because the practice seems to have taken some characteristics of a political campaign and because it has little legal effect.

24、 In consequence, examinees feel little weight of the so-called promise or vow as we cannot deprive their right to take examinations if students refuse to sign the contract. B.Should Interview Be Taken as a Policy to Reform College Admission?Despite the rampant complaints concerning college entrance

25、examination, reforming measures remain cautious for the simple reason that such a nation-wide matriculation seems to be the only way to ensure a fair process. With the new policy, who can assure people that there will be no under-the-counter deals? When the new policy is duplicated, a large team of

26、professors would have to be involved in the procedure. However, more interviewers mean there will be greater chances for corruption. Consequently it is very hard to convince the public of the fairness in college enrollment, a highly sensitive issue for Chinese today.4) CombinationShould Teachers Be

27、Replaced by Multimedia?A flexible and individualized way of imparting knowledge or skill is called for in the process of education, which is beyond the intelligence of computers and other modern technology. Take a problem in mathematics for example. Some students may understand it after teachers dem

28、onstration for the first time; but for those who appear relatively slow in mathematic intelligence, the teacher had better try to detect students problem and work out another way to drive it home to them. However, technically speaking, it is very hard to achieve the same result for pre-designed educational software.
