8、ool which is pronounced as “Lulu“ in Chinese to get water from the well.When I read this picture again, it occurs to me that online reading is replacing the traditional one. The young man who is doing the online reading shows us that nowadays more and more people, especially the young people, are ke

9、en on doing online reading. In fact, there are some disadvantages of reading online. For example, we fail to grasp the deep meaning or fail to gain profound understanding of what we read if we keep on reading online. For another example, online reading will do some harm to our eyes. But what alarms

10、us is that most of us neglect the values of our traditional book reading. We have lost the valuable reading habit, which is beneficial to our wisdom, appreciation and self-improvement. Take me for example, if I read a book, especially some traditional masterpieces instead of the e-books, I always se

11、nse a great pleasure not just a kind of fun.So, in my opinion, we must be wakened to the fact that we should never be restricted by the e-book or online reading.

12、ation or Quality-orientation? In China, it has been a long time that from primary school to college, students, teachers, even parentsall are struggling for high scores. This is because the current education system does not aim for students quality, but only for developing their ability to perform we

13、ll on the test. As a result, many students, even those with high scores, often do poorly and prove to be a moron when it comes to the practical application of the knowledge and theory they have learned.Compared with the examination-oriented education, quality-oriented education focuses more on stude

14、nts quality and ability. From my point of view, quality-oriented education should be adapted to the new education policy. Because it can cultivate students creativity. It can also reduce students load and return a more colorful life to students.From what has been discussed above, I may safely arrive

15、 at a conclusion that quality-oriented education is more suitable.

Childrens education has long been our concern since Plato once uttere

16、d, “Education is where a country should start at.“ However, it is still a controversial issue after all these years among people who are particularly concerned about it. Some people believe that it is parents responsibility to cultivate their kids to be fully aware of what a social being should look

17、 like; others, whereas, argue that schools should take over this for the ultimate goal. In this essay, I would put this issue in question and further analyze both sides before presenting my personal perspective.On the one and, parents, as the first touchers of their kids, should tell them how to dif

18、ferentiate right from wrong. Given the time parents spend with their kids, they can be more likely to observe everyday change of their children. As a result, they are accountable for how their children normally behave in reality. More importantly, considering the fact that people according to their

19、social being are usually placed into diverse norms, parents, as a family, as a part of community and as individuals in the society, should appropriately behave in action so as to deliver a message to their kids in which what should be respected and cherished in lives is highly highlighted.On the oth

20、er hand, academic institutions should take the responsibility for educating students to be entirely ready to enter the society. After leaving parents for schools, kids almost devote their most prime time at schools with their peels, their friends and their teachers; therefore, schools ought to put m

21、uch emphasis on their growth as a person. Consequently, students could learn what they cannot acquire from home, such as communicative skills, understanding of various cultures, etc.From what was previously well stated, my point of view can be generated that parental education should be highly coope

22、rated with formal education in the process of a child s growth. What contribute to a person to become an entity are interpersonal skills and intrapersonal qualities; however, as for the parental education and formal education, the ultimate goal of a person which is to be taught to be a proper member of society cannot be fulfilled without either one of these.【知识模块】 短文写作
