10 mars Issue 2"Instead of requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines—that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences—colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields. Such concentration is necessary in today's increasingly work-oriented society."
Desipite of the popular main stream of contemporary society that lead students to focus their attention on the techological subject, as the importance of humanity and arts is long ignored by people, we should be more concerned with the arts field. As a result, concentration of the arts and humanities should be equelly promoting by both the educational system and the society.
With the celerity develpoment of society, people are totally lost in the main stream of the overemphasis on the science and techology. Inevitably, work orientation is highlighted as the vital element for a choose of subject by the student. Not only the parents but also the whole society overpower them and drive them to choose a applying techological major, no matter whether they like it, just in that it’s useful. Pragmatism becomes master and predominate the perferrence of people, which directly brings about the ignorance of humanities and arts. Compared with the 18th century, we can figure out the alienation of human nature, which in the danger of disappearing. In an apparent example of the ignorance that’s occurred since television was invented, people no longer appreciat the joy of reading book. If we don’t take action immediately, we will subject to the disaster of being controled by artificial intellegence.
Moreover, it is impossible for us to predicated the future, basing on the present. Popular jobs list, that guides students to chose their field, often changes like fashion. We can never imagine the situation ten years later, as well foretelling the future steam. Let’s suggest a possibility that ten years later no painters exists, therefore being a painter will be the most valuable career that is perferred over the techological job. Of key importance is overall knowledge, that provides people with wide mind and capability to dabble in every field. Though surfaces may be changing, the underlying principle is lasting that all kinds of societies need the person who know multitude of information and special in one field. Considering this, humanities and arts courses, which has long been despised by educators, may be emphasized again to make our offspring more entitled to win the future success.
Followed above, a more cogent conclusion may be drawn out basing on the more reasonable analysis. Indefutably, those courses that teach students practical techique should be enrolled by most of students. Additional, the course that cultures the students with aethetis and humanity such as history and art lessons should be promoted to a more important position as to contribute an equal foot with the science courses. Only in this way can our youth receive an overall education that can qualify them to compete in the intense society. Issue 1“The pressure to achieve high grades in school seriously limits the quality of learning. An educational enviorment without grades would promote more genuine intellectual development.”
As the human civilization proceeding graduately, education become a vital element of the further development of society, which propose a controversial topic for all the educators and citizens to contemplate: is it the pressure of achieve high grade limit the quaility of learning. In my eyes, the most comprehensive fashion to promote the intellctual development is taking advantage of the grade while abating the impact of pressure of high grade.
First of all, the word “quality of learning” must be defined for a further analysis. With the develpoment of technology, we emphasize the science knowledge over the human nature. Even technology is viewed as the solo useful tool for living in some people’s mind, which leads to a distort of learning. Thus, quality of learning is misunderstood by people in the atmosphere of overemphasizing science, errantly be considered equal to the quantity of technological knowledge. However, the real quality of learning lays on the ways of thinking, the view of critising and the ability of achieving. Though the pressure inevitably limit the students to search their own style of thinking, critising and achieving, but without the grade, they can never get sufficient fundamental knowledge for the further development of intellecture. Irresistibly, it is the only responding to the present society regulation, that elite group control the stream of world and competetion determine the allocation of the sourses.
Secondly, having defined the word, the assumption-that pressure to achieve high grades in school seriously limits the quality of learning-must be challanging. In a more comprehensive analysis, pressure has distinct affect to every person. To some it’s a motivation and to some, a threaten. Assertion that pressure irrefutably diminsh our interest in learing is incogitant, given that proper pressure can promote the protantial of a person to create greater achievement. Hence, grade isn’t an evil of killing the promotion of intellctual development, instead, it maybe play an active role in the self-devlopmnet.
Thirdy, an educational enviroment without grades perhaps will bring us to a more grave situation. If no grades at all, let’s assum that, what will be confronted by us? We will lose the capability to evaluate our learning and the method to allocate the limit educational resourses to so massive of students. Not only producing a impact on the students, but also influencing the whole society, the no grades enviroment can’t be real though its attempt to shift the students from pressure is considerable.
Summrarizing based on the analysis above, we are able to draw the conclusion that grades are still essential for educatinal enviroment, for its indubitable effect to the students and society. Thus, the solo way of speculating on the problem is to overpower the grades correctly, to drive it to serve for us until the alternative method is found. Argument 2 “In an attempt to Improve highway safty, Prunty County recently lowed its speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 on all major county roed. But 55 mph limit should be restored, because this safty efford has failed. Most drivers are exceeding the new speed limit and the accident rate throughout Prunty County has decresed only slightly. If we want to improve the safty of our road, we should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago: increasing lane width and resurfacing rough road. Today, major Butler County roads still have a 55 mph speed limit, yet there were 25percent fewer reported accidents in Butler County this year than past five years ago.”
As the argument presents it, the writer’s standpoint is that lane widths should be increased and rough road should be resurfaced instead of speed limit. Following on from the statistic and comparison, it is tempting to see the solution proposed by the writer as only responding directly to the traffic problem. Whereas, I am describing my doubtful view of this argument
Firstly, the comparison between Prunty County and Butler County as used in the argument serves to demonstrate the same predicted consequent. Whereas similarity exists between two places, ignoring the uniqueness of each other will dramatise a failure to completely capture the complexity of the situaition. Let me suggest a weird possibility that the road in Prunty County is already double width as those in Butler County, so increasing the road width becomes nonsense to the Prunty County. Moreover, while the Bulter County limit the speed, its punishiment may be much more efficient and contribute most to the success of the accident decrease. No such rigorous punishment, maybe, the Prunty County fail to control the accident number, even if the road is wide and smooth enough. What the Prunty County needs perhaps are more strict traffic rules, which can make an effort economically.
Secondly, the road improvement project the writer mentions about was undertaken five years ago, nevertheless, not suitable for present. The very situstion is changing with the developing of time, so as the problem discussed in the argument. Five years has been past which prevents us from analysing the problem with the same view. Perhaps at that time people in Butler County were well educated with the traffic rules, as a result, few drivers break the rules or subject to an accident. Contributing just a little, the road improvement project probably was useless in the eyes of local people. Hence, we can’t stage the causal relationship between undertaking the project and reducing the traffic accidents. More details should be offered for the comparison between the two places. Thus, according to the similarities and differences, a comprehensive conclusion can be drawn to solve the problem confronted by the Prunty County. Finnaly, in order to assert his conclusion in a convincing fashion directly primary towars the point, the writer of the argument disputably presents an assumption that the descent of the reported accidents affirm the success of the road improvement project, which supports his argument. However, some factors such as the casualty and the bad impact should be taken into account. If the number of accidents decreases while the damage aggravates, it can’t be view as a progress of the highway safty. On the other hand, the impact on the victim family may be more profound, therefore, the project is even a failure instead of a significant sample. Therefore, to draw out the relationship between the road improvement project and limitation of traffic accidents based on the above assumption is incogitant to accept the writer’s view.
Basing on the statistic and assumption, the argument highlights the role of the road improvement project. What he doesn’t stress is that such plausibility is theoritical and takes place only at condictional situation, and hence can not be extended to provide a perfect solution. To get a further cogent analysis, the writer should consider to base on more reliable evidences and overall assumptions.
Argument 1Hospital statistics regarding people who go to the emergency room after rollerskating accidents indicate the need for more protective equipment. Within this group of people, 75 percent of those who had accidents in streets or parking lots were not wearing any protective clothing(helmets, knee pads, etc.) or any light-refecting material(clip-on light, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads, etc.). Clearly, these statistics indicate that by investing in high-quality protective gear and reflective equipment, rollerskater will greatly reduce their risk of being severrly injured in an accident.
As the argument presents it, the writer’s standpoint is that more protective equipment should be prepared for roller-skater. He uses a survey to stage a causal relationship between not wearing protective gear or light-reflective material and getting hurt in roller-skating accidents. Whereas, I am describing my own doubtful view of this argument.
First of all, some factors are essential for continued analysis that attempt to acquire detailed information of the survey, such as sample size, selection procedure, which isn’t mentioned by the writer. Sample size is disregarded, which is the foundation and determination of the reliability for the survey. Without it, the proportion of 75% can prove itself as a strong data and has to struggle against suspicion and weakening. What’s more, the selection procedure, which contributes on an equal foot with the sample size, fails to be concerned, too. Let me suggest one weird possibility that some roller-skaters who have been subjected to the accidents refuse the hospital treatment\. In these cases, the probability exists that other causes of roller-skating accidents are excluded, which also reduces the reliability of the survey.
Moreover, the writer draws a conclusion that investing in high-quality protective equipment will greatly reduce the risk of being injured. However, everything can rarely if ever be attributed to a single factor. We should nevertheless intuitively believe that there must be a connection between the ignorance of protective equipment and a roller-skating accident. Nonetheless, the writer doesn’t capture the complexity of the causes of an accident. Firstly, it’s worth noting that, the situation of the road the roller-skater practices on, accurately describes an element of an accident. If someone disobeys the traffic rule and hits a roller-skater well equipped by the protective material, it equally brings about an accident and inevitable injury. Secondly, there is convincing evident that in some cases, equipment fails to provide an overall protection. That is to say, even if you have worn all the gear, you still expose yourself in danger, leave alone reducing the risk of being injured.
Finally, the argument emphasizes the investment of high-quality protective equipment, in the sense that it has a consequence on the promise of safety. But without a correct using method, it will perform like bedeck not protection. For the roller-skaters safety, they must pay attention to the usage of the protective gear and reflective material.
The argument highlights the role of protective material based on the statistics and some assumption. It’s obviously of key importance that we should equip ourselves when roller-skating. Meanwhile, the writer should offer several vital information of the survey. By laying the foundation for that and combining all the factors, the writer is able to draw a new comprehensive conclusion whose points are stronger and more reliable. 17 novembre About what?Long time no see~ It is just such long time that I can't let my blog to become out of date... So I come and write something~ But for what? I haven't thought of it. Because I have written my sadness in my Chinese blog, so I don't want to repeat it and cry once more...
Recently my days are peace. Working, eating, sleeping... Sometime playing~ Am I so boring? Or just the life is the very life that I am experienting? In this week, two students in my school suicide~ sigh~ Why don't they love their life and the people who are always accompany with them? Just feel sorry about them. Even when I was very sad, I haven't think of death. Maybe I will relax and just do nothing.
The topic is so serious~ Talk something happier~ In Wednesday the PE class~ I have make my record! The first of a group for the 800-meter-running test! I was so excited and I believe at that moment I think I am the best in the world! Because PE is a weakness of mine and I never won a price before~
Then I learn something: If you think nothing can be changed, you can never change something~ If you convince that everything can be change, you are sure to change something! 4 novembre No time for love...Yesterday when I got to the QQ and chated with my friend, I saw one of my friend's intruduction, which reads" coming 30". It is the saying that when you have had your 20 birthday, you are coming 30~ Oh, no. next year when I at home, I will have my 20 birthday! I am horrify and worry about myself.
Day and day past, I have so many thing to do but no time for love... I don't know whether it's good or not. My classmate is 17 years old and always tells me that she wants to have a early love. But I think I have missed the time and nothing can change. No time for love... No one to love... No one love me...
Many times I wish I don't have to take so many responsibility. But how can I change this? There is no chance for me to choose. My duty is accepcting and acomplishing...
Wish I can get a good mark in the exam~ 20 octobre Try,try,and try~Actually I always feel uncertain about myself , about my future. Recently, I am thinking about what is confidence? Is it the convince that you will be sucessful at last? Or just think that you are able to do everything? I have seen so many people that are considered to be confident, but most of them, in fact, neither sucessful nor capable. So I wonder where their confidence come from? I don't know.....
Just try to be that kond of person, I feel tired and ... Because I am not so capable, because I am worry about my future. I am losing my confidence...I feel... try try and try 15 octobre Still dispirited……When weekend comes,I always have no mood to study~ Yesterday I got up at 9 o'clock, so early,ur... to attend a meeting. And then my movie time was on. I had fininshed 3 movies when I realized I had to go supper. So a brief supper took me 15minutes, movie time went on. I couldn't stop until I finish all(Totally 5). Then I kept on low spirit for study and chatted with my friend till 2o'clock.
Today the dispirited time goes on. After getting up at 10, I prepared the chicken soap and had a happy time with Lisa. Now I am sitting in front of my computer to download the movie again. I even know that I will have the maths test on Wednesday and physics next week. But I still keep on wasting my time. Am I mad? I just want to calm down and have a quite time to study, but actually I find that it's impossible to achive on weekend. God... I begin to worry my test. And my GRE,too. I haven't read the book for couples of days. Can I finish it before the winter vacation?? I wonder... Oh! What can I do to change the situation??? Hope tomorow is a new day. So my spirit will come again and hope I can do well in my study... 13 octobre Black FridayAfter having a 3 hours' class,I went back to my domistry,tired. I can't even have a rest because I have to finish my PE task. Ok,800-meter-running isn't an easy task,but I actually finished it. Tired,tired,tired,I still have to have a meeting. Though I didn't want to attent this boring meeting, it's the Party's order.
Very unluckyly, the planned tennis match was cancled because of the dam match. I couldn't see the handsome boy... Wuwuwu...... Then, the most unlucky thing happened. When I was riding in the campus, a bike suddenly hit my bike and totally ruin my bike! When I was taking my bike to the repairing place, I felt that I was so lonely that I even haven't a person who can help me when I was in a trouble. Sometimes I think that my life is lack of something. I don't know how I can change the situation. I want but I can't. I have talked to my roommate, they did advice that I should try once again. But I really can't accept anyone. I don't know what is the proplem with me. Opps...
When so many bad things happened, I suddenly remember that today is Friday...... 12 octobre About my classmatesWhen I change my major into physics,I really didn't think about the present situation. In my mind,my classmates will be a group of people who love physics and discuss every problem they meet together. I don't mean that the present isn't like that,but it just surprise me that there are so many cracy people here~One guy claim that he will win the Nobel Price before his thirty years birthday.And what he is doing is standing in front of the door and think of the physics problem.Another guy is a fat boy with huge confidence.He really brings a lot of fun to us.Beacuse he is named"luoxi" and like to smile with awe. So we all call the smlie "The smile of Meng luo xi niu". If you think this is just a funny people, you are totally wrong. He will express his life with all the physical theories. For example, in our conclution, if he is in love with a gilr,he will talk to the girl with the theory of relativity;if he want to propose marriage,he will tell you the theory of unition. You can never know how cracy he is. There are so many cracy guys that I can show all to you. Actually, this class is a group of cracy people.But just like what I have pictured, they all cracy about physics and want to contribute themselves to the physics world.
Maybe in other people's eyes,we are all abnormal. Because we are thinking about the problem that seems far from us.But it is our choise.I don't doubt that in every physics people' heart, there is pure love of physics.Though some guys say they will do the other jobs that are not related physics. I like this class more even there are so many odd men. 10 octobre A cracy roomI am getting more and more firmly to believe that my roommates,of course including me, are all girls full of curiousity.We often talk about each other's love story.And after I discuss the problem with them,I always have many new ideas.Also I know that I am not the only one pure paper. (We call the people who haven't experiented puppy love pure paper) I don't think our girl are not good enough or not pretty enough.They are all excellant and easygoing. The only thing is that we are all searching and waiting a pure love,without the consideration of money,background or something like taht. Maybe some people just want to find a people to company with,but we don't.A 17-year-old girl is loving a boy secretly.Another is in love with her good frient but can't receive any response.Is this life?I just wonder...I can talk with them but can't help them.This is the very thing they must experient by themselves.I hope all of them can find their ture love and happiness at last.They are so good girls that should get the bless of God. Now I am in my cracy room,wishing all of us can leave this room and one day,this room will be their treasure memory~ 9 octobre About GRENow I am hard working in my GRE test.I learn multitudes of new words,even some of which aren't used by local people.I just can't figure out that why I have to do so.But I do know that if I don't, I will lose my chance.So I still work hard to remember all the new words.But it's really a difficult job.If I can finish it,I will appreciate myself as the greatest people in the world~haha I have decided to be the greatest people~~~Competition is fierce,we all know who will win at last.As a result,we must qualify ourselves. Maybe some people think that it's a little early to prepare for the test,but I have no time.I must finish the test as soon as possible to save time for my lab work.I don't think I have ability to get a very high mark.If I want to be special,I must own something special.Lab work experience is a good promise.And I like to go to the lab to see how research is going.It can open my mind and help with my future work. Oh,I am getting tired.Sleep for a while... 8 octobre Still freshmanAfter I went through my first year in Fudan,I really feel that I have changed a lot.Beside the appearent,I think I will prefer to talk about my ideas about my future,my life.If you ask me what can we learn in the university,I will tell you two words: arrangement and independance.
Before I went to university,I don't think I had really planed something for myself.I just listen to my parents,my teachers and made the decision.Though the decision seemed to be in my hands,it dosen't.Before I made it,there had been so many suggestion that made me to that point.But now,I can make my real own decition.They,my parents and my teachers,just give some advices and the power is on me.I can plan my future and my life now.And more important I know how to picture my life.From many people I learn a lots things that I can't learn in the books.I will talk to my parents and say my idea to them.Of course they will give me advice,but they won't control me any more.They explained that they did that before because they didn't think I have qualifyed myself to make the important decition.Now they admit my ability and allow me to do it.
Though I think sometimes I depend on somebody,I begin to suit the life alone.I will care myself,arrangr my time,or even be an advicer of other people~about love,strange_isn't it~I can do lots of things that I can't do in the past.I think this is called independance.
I really have got lots in my first year.But now I am still a freshman.I must keep learning~trying and seeking.I have a clear goal and have courage to achive it.So guys,A ZA A ZA Fighting! 7 octobre My mid-autumn dayYesterday is the second mid-autumn day which I couldn't spend in my home.I really have a great fun because all of our Shanghai Guys get together and visit the Chenghuangmiao and see the exhibtion of the super design.Actually,I just walked around but didn't figure out most of the design.Some of them are pretty amazing.So a day end up with a big meal in Sazairiya.After 45minutes' waiting,we can have a seat and enjor the delicious food.Ok,night came and we back to Fudan have our night Party.We played and talked for almost 3 hours.The moon is ignored
But what I really want to say is that I still miss my home my family very much.I miss my cousins,my aunt and uncle......I think they miss me,too.I wish them to be healthy and happy.Though without me they will feel some sad,especially my parents,they still have their life.Oh,again I miss them......That was my mid-autumn day. |
