110211NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should allow their children to make mistakes and let them learn from their own mistakes.


I disagree with the statement that children's mistakes are permitted by their parents as a source of learning.

First of all, some mistakes are too costly for the children to bear, and more important, many of them are irreversible, which indicates that no remedy could be acquired to make up for them. One typical example is fault associated with drugs. Once children learn to have drugs, they are addictive to them, which probably indicates that great efforts will be attached before addicts can be removed. In addition, considering that many drug sellers serve as members of gang or other crime groups, there is little chance that children can be dragged out of the cave of crime and evil. The fate of being in the jail could be prevented simply by armoring children with some basic concepts of the drugs, including the harms they might result in. It is the typical kind of parental faults that cause similar problems, instead of the negative influence exerted by society.

What's more, the experiences of certain subjects can be reasonably told to children by their parents. In this way, children could learn a lesson from that experience without having to risk making mistakes It is a more cost-effective and efficient way to achieve experience from mistakes. For example, if children are not informed with some marriage fundamentals by their parents, he has to learn through several failures, which will definitely bring him untold sorrows. But what if they did? He could know in advance about how to date with girls, and how to keep a relationship wisely. There is no necessity to deprive him of a few girls he loved merely because he is inexperienced.

Lastly, what is essential is not whether children can learn lessons from their mistakes, but whether they can learn lessons from other sources, say, the experience of others. We cannot afford to live a life full of mistakes. To grow up is actually to absorb lessons from others and to avoid mistakes by ourselves. For instance, a well-written autobiography can teach you, a casual conversation can inspire you, and there are many other activities that can help you. Never hesitate to be taught by them.

Above all, we can safely conclude that nothing should be spared to avoid mistakes, while other source of experiences can serve as lessons for the children.

100312NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To make children to well at school, parents should limit the hour that a child spends on watching TV.Use specific reasons to support your answer.

In my opinion, the hour spent on watching TV by a child should be restricted by their parents.

Despite that TV indeed serves as a significant way for a child to learn and entertain, it cannot be denied that TV programs are no longer suitable for children who are attending school in term of guaranteeing their excellence in schoolwork.

First of all, in these days, TV programs are providing us with much waste information, which brings more defects than merits to our children. One typical example is those entertainment programs, where guests imitate certain characteristics of some celebrities. These programs do not teach our children how to behave in society. Instead, they attach a top priority to improper behavior in order to catch the eyes of the audience. Another example is that some fashion programs focus on the appreciation of luxury, which might lead to orgies of overindulgence and overconsumption. Although different society values exist, the positive value, like morality, which is the mainstream of our society, should not be neglected. Accordingly, nothing should be spared to avoid children watching too many programs which are void of positive values. It is these positive values that ensure a solid foundation of well-being in school.

In addition, the blessing of the TV can completely be compensated for by other sources thanks to the advancing information technology. To begin with, some might argue that TV news are a indispensible part of our lives, while I oppose that we can get access to the news with the help of the Internet. In a similar way, many information and knowledge informed by TV can also be learned through the computer. What's more, the role TV plays in the entertainment value is being less important due to the appearance of PC games. These games are carefully selected, with both education and relaxation value for our children, while the educational levels of TV programs may vary, according to what has stated above. Last, if children give up watching TV and turn to books, they can obtain chances to acquire more knowledge, as well as lessons in history, which is a necessity for children to behave well in schools.

In conclusion, TV is no longer the sole way to entertain. To ensure that the children behave well in school, parents should restrict the hour a child spends on TV.

101030NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are now easier to become educated than in the past.


I agree with the argument that people tend to receive education easier.

What does the word "educated" actually means? There is no doubt that experiencing formal education counts, and thus people are enjoying a higher tendency to be educated nowadays. In fact, we are experiencing a period that "education" is no longer a priority for royal families or the rich. Instead, it has gradually become as common as bread and air.

First of all, the shortened gap between the rich and the poor contributes to the widespread of education. With more families being able to afford educational fees, more children are sent to schools, compared with a high level of illiteracy in the mid-century. More important, the overwhelm of education benefits the advancement of society from another perspective: more civilized citizens are devoting themselves into the construction of the cities, as well as the development of science and technology. These two aspects form a positive cycle to ensure that education is a prerequisite for a citizen to achieve success, and thus promoting the education.

In addition, the idea that all men are created equal also helps reducing the barriers of being educated forward today. Laws enacted according to that idea ensure that all citizens, despite their various nationalities, social levels and colors of their skins, should own the rights to be educated. For example, schools will be fined if found to refuse a child because of his skin color. Furthermore, with that idea experiencing a worldwide spread, developed countries are making efforts to support the education system of those developing countries, resulting in the rapid progress made in these regions.

What is more, the information technology has enabled us to receive education regardless of the place where we are living. With a computer that can get access to the Internet, a man in South Africa can now share a Harvard economic course with another student from China. The so-called "global village" has been eliminating the disparity in our backgrounds. Seeking hard for a school to attend, which is the common painful experience of our grandparents, has no longer existed. With the help of the Internet, together with the TV and mobile devices, we can even create a pure English environment for ourselves to learn English in our homes, which cannot be imagined before.

Conceded that children in poor countries are still suffering from war and poverty, solutions are being seeking to extricate them from danger and return them back to school. Great efforts have been made, and the fact cannot be denied that more and more children are going back to school today.

In conclusion, it is much easier to be educated today, as long as possessing a mind that is willing to study.

101218NA  Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Two people can become good friends even if one of them has more money than the other.


I agree with the statement that money is a decisive factor in the establishment of friendship.

Many people believe that friendship requires equality, and the disparity in wealth will gradually ruin the friendship. I concede that the equality in money virtually promotes the formation of mutual emotions between two people, but I have to point out that money is not the sole prerequisite of equality, and there exists many other forms of equality, such as mutual interest and similar education background, that will eventually serve as significant factor in building up a friendship.

We have to recognize that friendship is an interpersonal relationship in which two people are forged a tight link with each other by something mutual or reciprocal. First of all, the catalyst towards friendship can be mutual interest. For example, two people attending the same interest group in the university have a higher tendency to become good friends. Such groups can be outdoor activities, or music appreciation, or simply literature reading. With mutual interest, communications between two individuals tend to be easier, and the gap between the two will be eliminated. Money is seldom involved as a significant factor in this kind of friendship. Who cares the other is wealthier when they enjoy reading together every week?

Second, mutual benefits can also be important when engaged in business staff. In these cases, business cooperators are more likely to become good friends because of the status and resources they own in the business field. For instance, a corporation leader can make a good friend with a journalist, with the help of whom he can reveal his positive figure to the public, while the journalist can write stories that exert fascination upon the readers. This is a typical example of a reciprocal friendship, and the business leader is unlikely to take economic status of the journalist into account. Other examples are the friendship between journalist and the head of a nation, or a poor painter and his wealthy supporter. Status and benefits are the major concerns rather than money.

In conclusion, a good relationship between two people is based on mutual interest or benefit instead of economic consideration. From this perspective, we can safe conclude that money seldom serves as obstacles in the way towards the friendship.

101022NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The advice from our grandparents have no use for their grandchildren because the world changed a lot during the past 50 years.


I disagree with the statement that words from our grandparents are worthless to their grandchildren because of the dramatic change during fifty years.

First of all, virtues of mankind have existed for thousands of years, and there never has been great change in such a short period. The U.S. President A. Lincoln has been praised for his virtue of hardworking, while G. Washington is well-known for his honesty. Their stories still play an important role in educating our children. Since the advice from grandparents may focus on the problem from such a perspective, the suggestion will never out of date. A typical example is that my grandfather always told me how to behave well in morality and I followed his advice carefully. Now, I believe I am a person with high moral code and own a compassionate heart to others, which makes me proud of the education from my grandfather.

Second, old people have experienced a lot, and in certain circumstances, their experience might be of great help to their grandchildren. For instance, when an earthquake strikes, the young man may be likely to get scared, while his grandparents could immediately tell him what to do based on their similar experience before. Such useful advice will perhaps save a life, avoiding the catastrophic consequence. Another example is that my grandmother was once a doctor. She keeps offering advice on health to all the family members, including me. Despite the fact that she has been retired for nearly thirty years, she could still tell the cause of the sickness, as well as the therapy or drug required to cure the disease according to the plentiful experience she possessed during her work. More important, sometimes their experience may not fit exactly the dilemma we are facing, but it could still serve as a lesson for us. In this way, we can make the right choice due to the experience they had. They are like a beacon in the dark sea, lighting the path from all directions, ensuring that the boat of their family will not crush on the sea stones.

In conclusion, as the old Chinese saying goes, "An old man in a family is like a treasure stored". Advice from them will always be beneficial to their grandchildren.
