Do you agree with the following statement? Parents should give school-age children money for getting a high mark they get in the school.
There is a heated topic said that parents should give school-age children money for getting a high mark they get in the school. Some totally agree with it for that children need a sum of money to do for their study. However, in my opinion, it is not so essential to give money to children for getting a high mark.
Admittedly, I concess that money could help children to improve their study in some extent. In fact, children do need to buy some exercise books, stationery, calculator and so forth. Yet these objects do not ensure a child to study well and attain a good mark. What if they used the sum of money in other ways instead of study? What if they used the money in a wrong way to study? It is not money but something else, just as their own physical and psychological characters, must be needed to make school-age children get a high mark. In this way, money do not make the sense.
As for me, what school-age children need most is the hard-working that make the high mark. Consider these years I studied in school. Eveytime before examination, I spent a plenty of time on studying the subject. Practicing the theory and looking through the text book again and again do perfect my score at last. That is my own experience to tell that practice makes perfect. Money here does not take any assistant to improve our study. Even though my parents didn’t give me money to do something, I got a pretty high score at that time.
Moreover, money cannot take place of the influence of one’s characteristics. Take perseverance, the most important character a school-age children should have, as an example. No matter how hard and how boring the study and research is, one should keep on it and never give up. Finally, with one’s hard working and persistence, children might get a high score. What parents actually should do is to encourage their school-age children to study hard and depand on themselves instead of giving children money for high score.
To sum up, I consider it is perseverance and hard-working but not money can help children to get a high mark they get in the school.

Nowadays, working five days a week for eight hours each day is a normal way in the States. However, some arises a policy for four-day-working and less salaries. In the reading material and the listening material, there are totally different opionion about that.
In the reading material, the shortened workweek means raising company profits and lessen costly errors. In this way, employees would get more relax and have a better state to work. The company can also hire more staff without paying more salary, for the every employees hove 80 percent of their normal pay than before. At the same time, the professor in the listening material said that it can not benefit the company profit and economical condition. More employees force the company to spend more to provide training calsses, renting office places, and purchasing computers. So it is not good to the profit.
Meanwhile, in the listening material, professor pointed out that some working for 4 days, while some other work for a week may lead to a costly expenses. The employers would just choose those who want to work all over and they will increase their expectations on the same amount work. That is different from the authors said in the reading material that it would decrease the costs.
In the third place, the writer mentioned about the freedom of the workers. To let them work 4 days is to give them more free time to release their working pressure. However, as the professor said in the listening material, freedom means more risk about the worker’s job. There is a reducing of work quanlities and working abilities of a employee. This decreasing results in losing job, to some extent. And that is to say, the company had to pay more on hiring workers who are willing to work five days a week. |
