TOPIC: ISSUE153 - "Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."
WORDS: 637          TIME: 01:00:00          DATE: 2010-7-24 9:52:06

TS：应该带着怀疑精神，但也不应该怀疑一切。
提纲：
1. 怀疑有助于学习。
   1.1 怀疑使知识掌握更加牢固。
   1.2 怀疑能提高思维能力。
2. 怀疑推动社会进步。
3. 怀疑一切也有问题。
   3.1 有些学科没法怀疑。
   3.2 有些学科的怀疑必须建立在对知识的充分掌握之上。
   3.3 怀疑太多影响效率。

    This is nowhere more true than the assertion that students should doubt part of what they have studied. However, questioning everything might cause some negative effects on the learning process. After all, it depends on the certain circumstances to decide whether skepticism should be performed.
    On one hand, what is clear is that bringing skepticism towards the knowledge they are taught will benefit their studying. Questioning can enhance what they are taught and enable students to memorize those facts faster and easier. Before students ask a question, they will look up relevant information about the fact which they doubt and eventually take a high command of the backgrounds of the knowledge. That background information lends a helping hand to the memorization of the knowledge, together with a higher understanding of it. Besides, questioning can also improve the abilities such as critical thinking and analysis. With this method, students are encouraged to raise questions and will possess a critical mind to the world around us, as well as the ability to analyze whether the fact is reliable or not. Such logic thinking abilities are just the faculties that make creative leaders and will have a crucial influence on the students' performance in the future.
    In addition, if we cast a look at human history, we will find that it is skepticism towards authorities that push the history forward. Following the path that has been walked on will not steer human society towards a promising future. It was the skepticism towards the "common sense" that the earth is flat that how Columbus found his way to the new continent. It was questioning the mercantilism that how David Ricardo established his theory of comparable advantages, along with his status in the history of classics economy. It was the question against racial segregation that how Martin Luther King stepped out and led the Civil Rights Movement which brought African Americans freedom and justice. It was the skeptical mind towards Newton Laws which had been believed as truth for centuries that how Einstein established the theory of relativity and turned over a new page in Physics. As Van Loon expressed in his book Tolerance and I paraphrased that "Be tolerant for those who question, because they are the forerunner of human society". The saying is used to point out that It is those who dare to question that call for the advancements in human society.  
    On the other hand, admitted that skepticism in studying has many advantages, we should not lose sight of the fact that skepticism towards everything might not come into effect. Firstly, skepticism does not work in disciplines like language learning. In these subjects, the rules are created by human rather than nature. If we keep questioning the usage of the words and grammar rules instead of accepting them as facts, we will make little progress. Secondly, skepticism towards certain disciplines such as history and chemistry requires a full understanding of the knowledge before any question is raised. Otherwise the question will be senseless. The general rules of these disciplines are concluded by innumerable facts and the students will lose the whole picture of the subject if they do not grip those facts first. Finally, such skeptical method of learning demands much time, and thus it is not feasible for students to question everything. Questions against the basis of certain information are the essence of the skepticism. Doubting the unimportant message is no more than a waste of time.
    To sum up, skeptical method of learning enables students to view the world in a different perspective, which will result in the progress in human society. However, questioning everything will lower the efficiency of the studying and thereby students should decide what to ask and what to accept. A balance between skepticism and acceptance is the true essence of education.


非常欢迎互改，请务必狠拍~谢

令我印象深刻的是思路很清晰！第二段论证很棒
不过倒数第二段由 学生在质疑前应该先掌握知识 到finally 质疑重要的东西觉得很突兀，他们是论证和结论的关系么？ 还是各自独立的？

那个拿历史和化学做例子很好 不过缺少足够的分析，不让人信服。


楼主，你的每篇issue提纲都是这样写得么？argu提纲怎么写呢？ 在下很想知道

这是我和你一样对应的习作6.30 写的 请多多指正

有个问题
“3.1 有些学科没法怀疑。
   3.2 有些学科的怀疑必须建立在对知识的充分掌握之上。”

那么到底哪些应该怀疑，哪些不用怀疑呢？

这个问题确实没考虑好，所以这一段感觉有点不太系统，逻辑性有点弱。。。

其实我觉得怀疑本身就必须建立在对知识的充分掌握之上。不过这个观点不太容易用英文表达出来。。。

恩，历史和化学的例子我疏忽了，忘记展开讲了。感谢指正~呵呵

提纲的话现在我都是先写了大概的提纲再开始计时写作的。Issue写提纲比较费时间，可以参考一些他人的成果，也能启发思路。Argument的话我都是用中文把错误都找一遍，每篇找三个错就行了，写的时候直接攻击就行。

你的文章我修改过了~共同进步~

呵呵~如果版主忙的话就不必改了~如果有空的话还是想请版主看看大概的水平和提高的方向在哪里啦~

那我给你改吧。。反正我领好人卡要领到底。。我觉得你写的东西进步还是比较明显的。至少现在思路比较清晰，语言也比以前有进步了。


  This is nowhere more true than the assertion that students should doubt part of what they have studied. However, questioning everything might cause some negative effects on the learning process. After all, it depends on the certain circumstances to decide whether skepticism should be performed.

    On one hand, what is clear is that bringing skepticism towards the knowledge they are taught will benefit their studying. Questioning can enhance what they are taught and enable students to memorize those facts faster and easier. Before students ask a question, they will look up relevant information about the fact which they doubt and eventually take a high command of the backgrounds of the knowledge.[这一点不对吧，应该是提出问题之后才去查资料，你问题还没提，你查的是啥？] That [the] background information lends a helping hand to the memorization of the knowledge, together with a higher understanding of it. Besides, questioning can also improve the abilities such as critical thinking and analysis. With this method, students are encouraged to raise questions and will [possess a critical mind to the world around us], as well as the ability to analyze whether [the fact] is reliable or not.[既然都是事实了，还有什么不reliable的，应该是information，opinion阿之类的] Such logic thinking abilities are just the faculties that make creative leaders and will have a crucial influence on the students' performance in the future. [你这段写得还是不错的，但是有些单词的用法还是很怪的。比如什么faculties，logic thinking abilities阿，higher understanding阿。。看着都挺中式英语的。你可以多看看wikipedia阿。专业文章积累点词汇。另外4，6级单词书找出来每天看个十几页，那些单词就是你写AW的主打，记得看例句。]

    In addition, if we cast a look at human history, we will find that it is skepticism towards authorities that push the history forward.

The saying is used to point out that It is those who dare to question that call for the advancements in human society.  [这一段写得不错。不过爱因斯坦那个例子是啥阿一个微观一个宏观的，这算是skepticism么。当然我物理不强，你自己确定就行了。但是你直接把skeptisim的好处写了这么长段，但是题目的重点还是在active learning 和 accept passively上面。至少要用一两句点明你这段和题目的联系。这一段的下一段，要将的点太多，每一点都没有展开来讲，显得论证不充分。宁愿讲一点讲得很好，也不要跟写outline一样，一句话就是一点。]

    On the other hand, admitted that skepticism in studying has many advantages, we should not lose sight of the fact that skepticism towards everything might not come into effect [come into effect?].

非常感谢啊~呵呵~我会认真改的~

另外我看到有说法说Einstein and relativity的例子最好不要用，因为被用烂了。我想想也确实有道理，如果整天就用那些例子，rater会觉得我们很没有人文素养，学了那么多年怎么就知道一个Einstein。。。看来例子还是要换些新的了~
