11、ance Should Not Be MandatoryChecking attendance is a common practice in Chinese colleges and universities. As is known to many university students, however, one of the criteria of a good course is whether or not the instructor checks attendance. Nothing can be more annoying and upsetting than a roll
12、-call enthusiast. It is thus my belief that university students shall have the freedom of choice when it comes to attending classes. To start with, the majority of university students are grownups; grownups should be intellectually and mentally capable of taking responsibility of their own decisions
13、. Ever since a kid enters kindergarten, school attendance has been compulsory for all. Roll-call is a necessary method to regulate the behaviors of students who are intellectually immature. Nonetheless, attending classes in universities should be a matter of self-discipline. When a university studen
14、t selects a course, he or she takes on the duty of completing the course and earning the credits. Therefore, instructors should not take the burden to oblige everyone to show up. Secondly, poor class attendance is not so much the fault of students as is the problem of the teacher. For example, when
15、our faculty offered the course of Roman Mythology, one professor gave such passionate and inspiring lectures that the classroom was filled with drop-ins. In comparison, another professor had to check attendance to nail everyone to the spot. If a course fails to attract attendants, it could be inferr
16、ed that something is problematic either in the content of the course or the way in which lectures are delivered. Imposing mandatory attendance and punishing those who skip classes are to lay the blame of a faulty educating method on students. Last but not least, full attendance does not necessarily
17、mean good academic performance. Many students who never miss a single class tend to remain silent throughout the whole time without interacting with the teacher. On the contrary, some talented students play truant occasionally but surprisingly finish the course with an A grade. It is evident that co
18、mpulsory class attendance is a rigid rule inapplicable to suit different needs of students. Simply showing up for class is no longer adequate. I believe that as long as a student is able to complete the course work and pass prescribed examinations, class attendance should not be forced. To conclude,
19、 the principal task of education is to impart knowledge, share ideas and inspire thinking. Rather than going all out to keep everyone in the classroom, universities should spend more time in improving the quality of teaching. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“校园学习”。该题要求考生就“应不应该强制大学生出勤”提出个人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开
20、头：由学生评判课程规则入题，然后引出个人观点不应该强制大学生出勤。 主体：分三方面阐述论据。 1大学生基本上都是成年人，应当有足够成熟的心智为自己的行为承担责任。学校依靠的是学生的自律而不是处处设限。 2出勤率低，不一定是学生的问题，很有可能是老师的教学质量问题。 3出勤的学生并不等同于学习表现好，而一些有能力的学生不是每次出勤，但也能完成课业。可以给予学生自由度，让他们更好地统筹时间。 结尾：重申观点，学校不该限制学生出席，而应该努力提高教学质量，这样学生就有出勤的动力。2.Charging Postgraduate Students Tuition Fees?收取研究生学费 In Chin

23、to have free lunch? Recently this question has come into people“s attention as the suggestion of charging postgraduate students tuition fees is put forward. To stop financing postgraduate programs is indeed a very big decision to make. As far as I am concerned, it is a necessary one because it helps
24、 educators to adapt to the new developments in education and better allocate educational resources. To start with, charging postgraduate tuition fees helps to adapt to the new developments in education. When postgraduate program subsidy was started, higher education in China was considered “elite ed
25、ucation“ by most people, as there were not many university graduates, not to mention postgraduate students. A university graduate at that time could secure a good job with a decent salary, so most people did not want to spend more time and energy in postgraduate education. In order to foster high qu
26、ality talents, the government gave subsidies to students who were willing to continue their studies after college. Now, however, the situation has completely changed. In the context of mass education, a bachelor“s degree is no longer the permit to a promising career. People are hence seeking opportu
27、nities for further study after graduating from universities. On such occasion, many postgraduate programs have become less academic and turn to serve those job-oriented students. It is thus clear that if we continue to Finance all postgraduate programs, it would be a waste of money since the motives
28、 of the students have already changed and the means would no longer meet its end. Secondly, imposing tuition fees on postgraduate students in Master programs would help better allocate educational resources. By saving the money given to pragmatic-minded jobseekers, educators can promote more signifi
29、cant projects and programs such as engineering, science and economics. They will have more funds to send excellent students abroad for academic exchange and important scientific research will also be better carried out with enough capitals. Moreover, it is better to fund Ph.D. candidates because as
30、most postgraduates nowadays are doing their masters out of practical and personal concerns, those who are really interested in academic studies and would potentially bring about advances in science and technology usually proceed to study for a doctorate. Thus this group of students who might have gr
31、eat academic achievements should be better supported, financially. And more benefits, both to the students and the government, will be brought by giving the money to the right people. To conclude, I believe that charging postgraduate students tuition fees is beneficial since it keeps pace with the c
32、hanging times and helps to better allocate educational resources. The free lunch should be given to those who need it most. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“校园学习”。该题要求考生就“是否赞成向计划内硕士研究生收取学费”提出个人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：提出个人观点：赞成向计划内硕士研究生收取学费。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1收取研究生学费有助于顺应教育发展趋势。由于学生读研的动机已经改变，国家继续补贴所有研究生项目，无法实现最初的目
33、的，补贴也就变成了一种浪费。 2收取研究生学费有助于更好地分配教育资源。大部分硕士研究生读书都是出于现实考虑；真正专注于学术研究的学生，会选择继续读博。而读博的学生恰恰是需要在财政上获得更多支持的! 结尾：重申观点上述两方面的观点，作简要总结。3.Should Microblog Be Used by Young Students?该让青年学生玩微博吗?

34、blog frequently.

36、icroblog to students in primary Grade Four and above. This initiative receives many criticisms. Some people take it as an unnecessary distraction that will cost students“ childhood innocence on this platform of information explosion. As I see it, the advantages of microblog outweigh the disadvantage
37、s. To start with, microblog is virtual communities where people can keep in touch with old friends and make new acquaintances. It is free to be registered by people from every quarter of the globe, be they celebrities or common people. In China, as we know, young students are inclined to live in a l
38、imited circle of friends with their minds obsessed with textbooks and homework. Microblog enables them to communicate with celebrities they admire and people of the same interests while renewing friendships, notwithstanding the distance. What“s more, microblog sets up a platform for serf-expression.
39、 Young students are in an awkward and rebellious period of adolescence when they tend to keep things to themselves. Microblog serves as an outlet for their pent-up thoughts and emotions. The Second Experimental Primary School“s pioneering use of microblog in teaching shows that students who are shy
40、and introverted in class act vigorously when encouraged to post their questions on microblog. Apart from discussions on their study, students feel free and relaxed to update their status online, which offers a channel for parents to better understand their children. Finally, microblog provides stude
41、nts various information, which helps them to keep pace with changes in society. Nowadays, news on microblog spreads faster than that on papers. It is then natural that anyone who hasn“t registered a microblog might be looked down upon by his/her peers as a back number. Exhausting as it is to be bomb
42、arded by facts, statistics and news clips, students will gradually learn to distinguish between right and wrong, true and false. An alternative source of knowledge will be beneficial to their independent thinking as well. Thus, students will be able to shape their own values without relying wholly o
43、n school education. As the general trend indicates, micro blog is a platform leading to a macro world. Forbidding the use of microblog might drive young people to fall behind with the times. Weighing the pros and cons, it“s better to guide them onto the right way of using microblog, instead of depri

Some people predict that in the near future, teachers would no longer exist as they will be replaced by computers. However, as far as I am concerned, computer cannot replace teachers because it lacks face-to-face interaction and the flexibility needed in education. First of all, c
