For nearly 14-year-study at school (This reduces to 'for nearly study at school', which makes no sense whatsoever. I understand you're trying to rephrase 'for nearly 14 years of study at school', but '14 years old' is grammatically different from '14-year-old', and the two usages are not interchangeable. The other problem is that you're assuming that your readers know what you are alluding to by '14 years of study'. Students in China typically study for 6+3+3+4 years to get a university degree, but certainly not everyone in the world does so, and the number itself carries no significance.), we have always complained about the boring school life, especially the homework everyday and the endless examinations. As the heavier pessure to be admitted into better schools or universities (This clause is not complete.), students have to burden themselves with more and more homework nowadays. Under this kind of extreme circumstances, socialists (This means 'people who advocate for socialism'. The word for 'people who study the science of societies' is 'sociologists'.) are wondering whether such daily homework is necessary for students. In my opinion, too much homework is not suitable to students but it cannot be the excuse for them to escape from daily homework and the reasons are as follows.
Above of all, homework is a good way to review what we have learned in the daytime and strengthen the memory of the knowledge. Without homework, we may easily forget what teachers have taught during the classes. I was a diligent student in high school but a lazy one in the college. I never missed any homework for mathematics in high school, while now (This means you're now still in college, but readers have to guess at this. Don't make them guess. Don't write with the assumption that readers know about your background.) I even never revise my textbook until the approaching examination approaches, not to mention the daily homework. Thus the results are obvious. I could easily get full scores in each mathematics test without too much hard work, while I just can get an "A" for my major now (Again, you're writing with the assumption that readers know the difference between a 'full score' and an 'A', and they should even understand that an 'A' is considered much inferior. Things just don't work the same around the world.). And behind it there are many nights accompanied with by boring textbooks and my cute lamp before the final exams. This apparent comparison is owing to the different altitudes to daily homework. (I don't see where your example is going. Isn't college mathematics supposed to be more difficult than high school mathematics? If the subject doesn't stay at the same difficulty, then you can't conclude that the need of your extra work and the dip in the grade are purely because you fail to do daily homework.)
And also (Use either 'and' or 'also', but not both.), homework can honestly reflect how students acknowledge what they have learned, so that teachers can adjust their teaching schedules more properly in time. I once was a volunteer as an English teacher in a Hope primary school (And again, you're assuming that readers know what the nature of a 'Hope primary school' is. What you really need to describe here is not that you volunteered at a 'Hope' primary school, but that you volunteered at a rural, charity-aided school - but as far as I'm concerned, you don't even need to describe the school. The important, directly relevant detail in this sentence is that you did teaching. Other details in this sentence don't augment your point any more than this.). At first, I just taught my students as I had planned. But for after a period of time, I found they didn't absolutely acknowledged what I had told them. And then I began to assign homework to them everyday. Even though it was not too much, but (You don't use 'though' and 'but' in the same sentence. Remember this rule. Period.) I cannot deny that just this little homework helped me know what they had not acknowledged, so that I could teach them again in the next class. Homework helped me a lot, but this wasn't the final aim. What's more important, it makes students acknowledge what they may not have understood before. (This example didn't address the 'daily' part of the question adequately.)
To sum up, we can understand students’ resistant emotion? to the homework, after all we once were and even now are students. We hoped for less homework and more free time. We also can also (Avoid direct translations even in the smallest phrases. Often the influence of Chinese grammar on your English is more significant and prevalent than you might have realized.) understand the worry of socialists and parents for more abnormal teaching ways? (At least you could have said 'more abnormal ways of teaching', if nothing else can express your meaning more clearly..Again, avoid direct translations.) and more and more homework. However, no one can deny its great benefits which we all have enjoyed. Both too much and too less are not suitable. But this cannot be just apply to homework. It is still of great help to students.
总结:
这位童鞋的例子举得很好~句式的变化也不错~但是基本上你对词汇的选择和使用没有达到可以准确地用英语表达出你提纲里面用中文表达出来的东西。。=.=
尽量避免中文直翻,尤其在词序的方面。避免带着自己背景知识的假设写作。你的提纲本身似乎一直倾向于抽象、理论化,所以在没有足够的驾驭抽象词汇的能力之前,请特别注意自己的翻译倾向。。像‘希望小学’这种字眼,对一个中国读者来说所能勾起的联想,远比直翻过去让一个美国人所能联想到的多得多。所以不要试图把所有的细节都按照中文的直接翻译来表现,你要想明白你需要表达的意思到底是什么。 |
