教育类第一题劳烦大家伤眼看下了
“A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer.”
According to the speaker, the same national curriculum is of great importance to those who are receiving the education before college. This implies that the whole group of students in the nation should use the same kind of textbooks-at least share the same kind of emphases laid on the knowledge they are absorbing. I don’t quite agree with this claim.

I concede that given the situation of the educational system in our country, students preparing for the college entrance examination are in great need of a standard curriculum, for they are to take the same examination and will compete together. Thus it is unfair for them to use different curriculums. In current circumstances, millions of students take part in the college entrance examination, using the same test paper, which in fact tells us that the knowledge held by the students from all over the country should be checked and measured by the same kind of question with the same emphasis on some certain knowledge point. To look from this facet, it is true that students should study the same national curriculum.

On the other hand, the same curriculum may bring reverse influences, to students themselves, to the teachers who use this curriculum, and even to the development of science of the nation. In different parts of the country, the step of development is not the same. The result in the educational field is that the level of teaching and the students differs greatly.

From the students’ aspect, studying the same curriculum may cut down the creativeness of those youngsters whose vigor should have been the highest. Each individual has his own characteristics and IQ levels; he may be good at some field of his study while the rest are rather uneasy for him to deal with, or maybe he is interested in one subject and can understand and absorb it easily while another is not that interesting to him. There’s an old Chinese saying, ”to teach students according to their aptitude”. Students have different levels, and different curriculums with different depth of knowledge should be prepared for them to study, avoiding the emergence of the situation that one child is starving while the other is too full to take in any more.

From the teachers’ aspect, repeating the same curriculum time and time again year after year will certainly put off the fire of enthusiasm in their work of teaching. Every year, they have to face the never-changing curriculums and the same faces without any vigor although the name of each face has changed. The work of teaching is really a creative art. In fact, in front of these teachers are totally different individuals; each of them has his own features, calling the teachers to treat them differently. The curriculum used to teach these individuals should be fit for him or her, and suit the instruction to each student’s level. This lays the true pleasure in the art of teaching. Teachers get to know each student very well and choose the best curriculum for him or her, and in this way watching this young plant growing into a flourishing tree.

It is the same with the development of science in our country. The most advanced technology is lead by a small group of extraordinary scientists who are extremely creative and imaginative. A sense of creation and imagination is developed when one is a little child, which implies that the education before college is very important to the establishment of one’s characteristics. Thus the significance of a suitable curriculum is obviously put in front of us.

In conclusion, the same curriculum brings more reverse effect than advantages. Students are taught to be creative and imaginative, not to be suitable for the various kinds of tests and examinations. Consider form this point, suitable curriculum is the most important. Different curriculums should be chosen for different students.

"icyray" seems to distract from the topic. It emphasize the different parts of the nation, but the focus of your article turns to the creativity and imagination.
The different culture and the students' interest may be more important.

分析：
１、如果每个地区都决定自己的academic　course，就要分别投入很大的精力（人力、物力、财力）来进行本地区教育研究，编写教材，各地区教育研究水平不同，在研究上的差异会造成教育发展程度的不同。而same national curriculum就可以在全国范围内统一研究力量。
２、 allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic course to offer并不利于人口流动。当今时代，一个nation内，地区之间的人口流动是相当频繁的，如果每个地区的academic course不同，那么学生们在转学时要被迫改学大量的新的课程，如果他们迁移频繁，那么这种在学业课程上的不断的改变不利于他们的个人教育。
３、如果各地区之间的academic course内容相冲突，比如涉及到了民族、宗教的问题，容易引发更深层次的社会矛盾。
４、应该提倡在一致基础上的特色教育，各地区有freedom安排一些辅修课程。

I agree with the view that a nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic course to offer.

As everyone knows, many countries, such as America, Russia, and China, are constituted of different folks, and some minorities always live together in a particular region. Different folks' productivity development are in different period, which means their education level also diverse very much. Another fact exists that different parts of one nation are not same in economy state, for example, east America develop faster than mid-west America.

If each part determine the academic course independently, each parts must spend a large mount of funds , material resources, and need many educational experts to do research work. But some less-developed region maybe harvests little because of low research levels, which lead to more evident discrimination among regions in education. However, if the nation determine the same curriculum courses, she can get together the research experts over the country, and she will establish an especial fund to support it. So it is going to attain the satisfactory result easier.

The second reason I don't favor schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic course to offer is due to the exchange of people from one region to another. In this modern time, people change their jobs more frequently, some jobs are in different cities, consequently, and their children often have to change schools. Let us imagine that a child is forced to learn new curriculums because he or she come to a new school, and the curriculums are so different from the former ones, the child has to degrade to grasp with the classmates though he or she is a excellent student in old school. That be a frustration to every child when he or she must accept the degrade. Obviously, it is not good to education.

Third, there maybe many contradictions living habits or religion beliefs between some folks, if the curriculums each part of a nation determines independently are concerned these contradictions, some social conflicts may happen. However, the same nation curriculums can avoid these problems, because the curriculum researchers are from different folks, they will consider the balance over them.

Although the same nation curriculums as the base education are favored, the local particularly education can not be ignored. Some ancillary curriculums about local climate and culture could be added to help students know their hometown, and some region has peculiar custom such as music or art, these peculiar curriculums need more attention of course.

坚持到底！我会改变自己！

In my opinion, a little bit improvement is needed in the forth and sixth paragraph of Spingy's issue.
First,what is the advantage or disadvantage of the obstacle of people exchange? Is there any influence
of people exchange to the social development. For example, the people exchange will enhance the communication of different regions in both science technology and culture.I suppose that more argumentation of this point would be better.
And I think that the last paragraph will be better if the children's individual personality is taken into account.
