5、ountains of theories but lack practical abilities. “ For many companies, they would like to rank working experience as top requirement in their recruitment programs. But, as a matter of fact, college students have spent years in taking compulsory courses and selective courses, how can they accumulat
6、e required experience in college? They can not help wondering whether companies should lay their emphasis on experience when recruiting college graduates. As for me, companies focus on experience is short-sighted, and hence companies should not only lay stress on experience. Firstly, what lies behin
7、d their focus on experience is the motivation to cut expenditure in employee training. Another consideration is that experienced employees can produce immediate profits. For those employers, they are more interested in making money in the present than cultivating talents for the long-term benefits.
8、They seem to lack long-term strategies of company development. Generally speaking, prestigious companies that have lasted for a dozen years, even hundreds of years, always have a systematic plan for talents training. They would like to bear the burden of new employee training expenditure for the lon
9、g-term benefits. How can we expect those companies that are apathetic to recruit college graduate to reap profits in the future without enough supply of talented employees? Secondly, while the recruitment of experienced employees can produce short-term profits, it is hard for those experienced emplo
10、yees to identify with the new companies culture, and therefore, companies have to suffer from high employee attrition rates. Companies cultural identities have been considered increasingly important to maximize productivity by holding both employees and employers together. Loyal employees are willin
11、g to stand by their companies in times of ups and downs. When employees frequently come and go, companies have to bear new hiring costs, costs of lost productivity, cost of knowledge, skills and contacts that the person who is leaving is taking with them out of the previous companies. Obviously, the
12、 total expenditure of recruitment of experienced employees in the long term is likely to transcend the expenditure of training loyal employees in the beginning. In sum, companies focus on experience is indicative of the motivation of producing immediate profits by cutting expenditure in training ine
13、xperienced college students. In the long run, companies are likely to bear more cost of high attrition rates.

Recently, more and more schools have been installed with monitor cameras. It is said that the installation can
15、vastly enhance the efficiency of study and avoid the cheating in examination. But some people doubt whether the surveillance system is a blessing or a curse that arouses most students interests. In my opinion, the monitor camera should not be installed since it indeed brings about more problems than
16、 benefits. Firstly, installing monitor cameras can distract students from learning attentively and prevent them from developing sanely. Classroom is the place where students take their learning activities. Although monitor cameras can keep watch on students when they are learning by themselves, they
17、 can cause some uneasy feeling of some students. This just stops them from being absorbed in learning. Moreover, it may violate students privacy. Some students argue that studying under a monitor camera is very uncomfortable and humiliating. Some even feel they are monitored all the time from day to
18、 night and are afraid to do anything but keep silent. So students dont welcome the idea of fixing cameras in their classroom because they want to spend their school life in a free and relaxing environment. Secondly, installing monitor cameras can destroy the teaching and learning environment. Since
19、there are monitors in the classrooms, teachers may depend too much on the monitor cameras and make less contact with students. However, the most effective way to educate students is to know the students fully in person through the communication with them. On the other hand, the traditional disciplin
20、es may be slackened. Students may want to obey the discipline only because there are monitors but not do it self-consciously. When there is no monitor, these students may fail to abide by the rules. That is to say, students do not cultivate proper attitude towards disciplines and this will be a pote
21、ntial threat to their success. Thirdly, installing monitor cameras cannot solve the problems fundamentally. The purpose of installing monitor is to supervise students and help them in learning, but that is not the ultimate way. Students may look like good ones under monitor, but they may be absent-m
22、inded from learning or do other things such as reading novels, writing their own diary. What should be done is to cultivate students interest in learning and motivate them to learn by themselves but not install the monitor. From the above discussion, the monitor cameras should not be installed becau
23、se it has negative effects, such as influencing students study and ruining their future. The most essential way to supervise students is to inspire them to learn more by themselves. 【试题解析】 本文要求针对是否应该在教室安装监视器陈述自己的观点，并进行论证。行文中，第一段提出观点要明确，可以用反驳法先提出相反的观点，然后引出自己的观点。对于相反观点的描述要简洁明了。第二部分分段进行论述时，首先陈述在教室里安装监视器影响学生的正常学习和心智发展；其次陈述在教室里安装监视器不利于学校教书育人；最后陈述在教室里安装监视器不能从根本上解决问题。最后一段自然得出结论：不应该在教室里安装监 视器，并进行总结。 【知识模块】 写作
