慎小嶷范文部分总结
1、Life was better when technology was simpler. To what extent do you agree of disagree?
Modern technology has revolutionized life in three main fields: work, transport and communication. Although modern technology is often blamed for stress and alienation, I doubt that many people would want to turn back the clock to the pre-technological age.
Despite the fact that life was simpler in former times, I would prefer not to return to that lifestyle, because that simplicity was due to a lack of choice. Before large jet airliners came in in the 1960s, for example, air travel was beyond the reach of most people. Before electronic cash registers, people had to spend a lot of time on math calculations to carry out transactions. Furthermore, our knowledge of the world around us, especially foreign countries, was sketchy before television brought us the vivid images of documentaries. Modern technology has brought liberation from the exhausting and boring labor and has set us free to enjoy more interesting work and leisure.
It is nor even always true that modern technology is more complex to use than it was to perform household chores. Caring for a horse was a far more complicated and time-consuming matter than starting up a car and taking it to the petrol station for its 5,000-mile  household chores. Caring for a horse was a far more complicated and time-consuming matter than starting up a car and taking it to the petrol station for its 5,000-mile service. One has to read the novel from past times to realize the anxiety and frustration that result from transport systems limited to the speed of the horses.
The example I have given are just a few of that can illustrate the case that modern technology makes life more convenient. Probably what can may the people yearn for the good old past simple ways I forces us to speed up our pace of life. But sometimes this change can be resisted, when we set ourselves simple priorities and stick to them.
2、Some people think intelligent students should be educated together with other students. Do you agree or disagree?
It is not uncommon for talented students to get admitted to gift programs today.
Letting talented students take special courses make sense to some extent. They need a more challenging curriculum as they are fast learners and their learning process requires little repetition of the information that has been taught by the teacher. If they find the too easy form them to handle, these intelligent children will end up learning little or nothing ar all. As a matter of fact, many students who are inattentive in class are intelligent ones. Regular courses simply fail to attract their attention.
Then form a purely psychological point of view, intelligent students also feel more comfortable if there are separate classes for them. They would feel isolated and become oversensitive if they spent all their class time with their ordinary peers. This is often true because smart children not only have different learning pattern, their communication patterns tend to be different from those of the ordinary students as well.
Still, it should be pointed out that segregating intelligent student from their peers is nor without its own downside. Some educators believe such classes will be drained of student leaders and role models. Segregation on the basis of IQ may even send a message to thos
e who take regular courses that their work is not as valued as the intelligent students’, which will lower the average students’ self-esteem.
Overall, I would suggest that gifted students spend their class time with their peers. But in addition to that, they should be encouraged to take electives that challenge them mentally.
yearn3、Some people think citizens should be totally responsible for their own health costs. Others think it is better to have a health care system which provides free health services for all. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
A much debated issue these days is whether citizens should take out private health insurance of not. In this essay, I will argue that people who can afford it should be privately insured, but free medical care must be made available for those too poor to do so.
The most important reason for encouraging people to take out private health insurance is the cost to the government. Free health coverage for people who are able to pay for it is a waste of public money. Of course, people will only pay health insurance premiums if they k
now that they are getting good value for their money. If they get sick, they will pay little or nothing at all. In addition, the privately insured are entitled to special benefits such as having the choice of their own doctors, and being able to avoid long waiting lists for hospital beds.
