喔喔,希望紫陌能帮大公鸡的忙
我2月17日考,最近刚刚看过了你的Issue指导,感觉启发很大
可我写文章很慢,这篇文章从分析到写完用了75分钟,还不包括修改时间。
谢谢你啦。
我划定关键词大致是students skepticism study question accept passively这几个,主角是students,话题重点是skepticism,speaker的论点是学生应对所学所有内容都有怀疑态度,并给出了一个方法(质疑)。
首先讲了自己对skepticism的理解。
然后讲分析主角学生学习的内容,这个着墨不多。
再考虑学生和skepticism的关系,分析skepticism在学生学习的领域是否可行。(这时候基本上就开始靠近speaker的观点了)
一旦可行,讨论这个对学生有没有好处(两种视野:学生以后为了科研;学生以后不搞科研)。
最后保留态度,提到两种不必采用怀疑态度的情形(一种是已成定论,非要说孔子是韩国人这种,另一种是研究南京大屠杀准确死亡人数这种)。
呃,发现了一个问题,就是关于被动接受的危害我基本没怎么写(好象只是第二段提了一点)。不过现在字数已经超了……
=======================================
题目:ISSUE 153
"Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."
提纲:
1. The explanation of skepticism.
2. What do students learn in school? Is skepticism adaptable?
3. Is it good for students?
4. What if a student instructed with skepticism if he/she doesn't want to be a scientist?
5. Reserve in two points.
正文:
We are calling for a revolution in the realm of education in accordance with the development of economy, technology and society, to wit the step of the times. One measure that many people advocate is that students should learn with the spirit of skepticism to whatever they study, i.e. they should question what they learn rather than just accept it. Though with reserve, I generally agree that it is wise to inculcate students with skepticism and lead them to applying that to most of what they learn.
Before we start, it is advisable to take a gander at the meaning of skepticism. The speaker has mentioned the nub, or what we call the pivot, of the skepticism, which is the capability for asking questions. To make it further, we can arrive at an idea that skepticism is to find something new rather than say "this is it." What students are taught includes science, liberal arts and literature, sports, some pratice training and so on. It is clear that the spirit of skepticism is adaptable to what students learn regardless of various subjects.
Furthermore, skepticism is both adaptable and useful in the realm of education. Concerning the latter point, skepticism is conducive to opening a student's mind and improving his/her capabilities for investigation. First, by skepticism students are imbued with the sense of disentanglement. He/she would know that it is not something forbidden to ask questions. This is especially meaningful for Chinese education, where traditionally a student would be batted if he/she dared to ask even a simple question in order to maintain the teacher's authority. Though the era has changed, we need to further liberate the thought now. Second, a student could acquire the ability for investigation which is the precious gem of modern science. Pitifully, this is what traditional education does not recommend, which could explain why there is even no scientist who has got a Nobel Prize with the sole nationality of the People's Republic of China. That is to say in traditional Chinese education a student who always enjoys "looking for something new" which is a good habit in the eyes of a Western teacher would be regarded as a "naughty boy" who "does not concern what he/she should be wrapped up in". And a naughty boy, in traditional Chinese education, is equal to a "bad guy" who "is totally rubbish and contributes nothing to the society." It seems unfair and unreasonable, but it is not exaggerating to say that it was the truth in the past several milleniums in Chinese history, and that it still makes a difference in modern Chinese education. In this sense skepticism is doubtless quite imperative.
Even if this student does not want to be a scientist, investigation is conducive to his/her future development. A student who does not want to be a scientist will probably devote himself/herself to a certain job which links directly to society, or more specifically, he/she will work in a firm. From the view of a firm, of course it wants to make profit by producing products and services. Regardless of oligopoly, there is competition among several firms, some leaders of which could be called barons. Therefore, the firm would like to know what is going on in other firms and the whole situation in this realm. Then an investigation is needed. The manager expects his/her employees to master the ability to conduct a investigation without inculcating them from ABC, which could significantly whittle a large amount of expenses. This would make sense both in employment and working, where one who acquires that capability is more favored.
I deem it is also just what the GRE test wants to train students in. It is a postgraduate entrance examination, but not restricted to the scientific area. It is unreasonable to rule out the possibility that some postgraduates would not be engaged in science anymore. But whatever he/she will be a scientist in future, ETS wants to imbue who participates in the GRE with a skepticism to prepare them for future development. Let's just take Analytical Writing as an instance. An issue asks students to show their talents by logically broaching their opinions; through the Argument Test a student is trained to tell the errors in a speaker's sentiments, which is of great help for this student to make a big decision in the future work. This is what we should advocate.
Of course, nothing is accurate from every aspect. Skepticism is not adaptable in every field. For example, it is unwise for a student to spend a long time wondering whether Confucius was a Korean or not. We all know it is the fact that Confucius was Chinese without doubt, but years ago some Korean scientists wanted to refute that and provided unreliable sources to strengthen their stupid points. It was absolutely a waste of time. Also, it is both unnecessary and harmful if one is dubious about the accurate number of the deaths in Nanjing Massacre in WWII. The accurate number makes no sense. Besides, it would give some people opportunity to deny the sins Japan committed during that time. We cannot allow this to happen.
In sum, generally speaking it is wise to teach student with the spirit of skepticism in most fields. As mentioned above for Chinese education it is specifically urgent. It is high time to take the plunge. And I believe there would be a bright future if we could adapt that notion in practice. |
