214 "Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Otherwise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped."
发现n多人都写against？！想不明白
I strongly agree with the author on the claim that gifted children should be identified and provided special education. Since such training can help better develop talented individual and greatly benefit the whole society, it is necessary to put this proposal into reality as soon as possible.

Both theoretical studies and experimental practices have indicated that gifted children would better develop themselves under circumstances specially designed for them. Starting with the observation of extraordinary children, teachers from kindergartens and elementary schools have long been reporting their being obsessed with certain "troublesome" kids by their unique behavioral patterns. For example, while the whole class is learning basic arithmetic such as twelve plus thirteen is twenty-five, a math whiz, exercising multiplication on 4-digit numbers without awareness of what's going on in the classroom, may always draw the teacher's attention. So it is very often a headache for the teachers in that to punish this committed kid for not being attentive is so unreasonable. Actually letting him/her to stay in this class is an unreasonable thing itself since what is taught is far behind what is wanted. Hence the solution is to set up a special class or institution for all kids of this kind. I came to know one of these classes in China which mainly aims at academically promising stars. Some thirty talented children of ten years old from elementary schools are enrolled every two years and they will be sent to universities in various majors at the age of fourteen, since they are capable of learning much more and much faster. That is to say ------ take the chemistry major as an example ------ some of them will be doing experiments in university chemistry curriculum with ease while others of the same age find it painful to understand the composition of water. It makes a great difference once their potentials are fully developed. Therefore one can see the necessity in providing the talented such institutions as the genuine nourishment they need.

Moreover, these specialized institutions are capable of preventing some unpleasant consequences. Needless to say without these institutions we will miss the chance to produce numerous experts on various fields, or at least their debuts have to be postponed. More importantly, the unbalanced development, that is indulgence in their field of interest and disregard on others, is a commonplace among gifted children. A young math whiz may find it hard to ask for direction when lost his/her way since he/she is poor at communication. Or a young poet with personality flaws frequently complains for his/her absurd demands not being fulfilled. This problem is particularly conspicuous in that they are unexpectedly superior in one field yet unbearably inferior in another. In this case, gifted children's class can better afford solutions than ordinary ones as their experts on psychology can put more emphasis on these points, while ordinary school teachers tend to overlook such problems. In these classes it is far more convenient to make distinct therapy for individual on his/her own drawbacks, and produce genius with personality well-being and other necessary living skills. Thus the specialized institutions yield experts but not maniacs, which is a very satisfying outcome.

Last but not the least, establishment of these institutions is beneficial to the society. These kids with special training will generally work at an early age, and therefore produce more wealth for the society. Teenage university graduates can best support this thesis. The society spend less on their education yet gets back more once they get a job. Also it has been found out that people are usually more creative in their youth, as we recall those prominent figures like Goethe, or Mozart, or Einstein. On the behalf of the society it is advantageous for the talented spend his/her youth on research than on education. Therefore we can expect more inventions from them, be they scientific theory or painting masterpiece. Eventually we see how wise it is to invest in the special training programs.

In conclusion, I believe identification and special education for gifted children is necessary for the society. These projects should be carried out without hesitation, and the society will find it a strikingly wise decision as the talented make contributions in all aspects of life.

写得很不错啊，没什么意见可提。

给你一个建议，上次我也写过的，有一本书，很值得一看，跟这个题目密切相关。哈佛大学教育心理学教授howard gardner写的《多元智能》（MULTIPLE INTELLIGECIES），很系统地阐述了他对这个问题的看法和建议。

哎,imong啊,
可以说说你一天花几个小时在作文上吗?

我觉得你的进步真是神速啊,羡慕死了~

imongUID：140258

我成天不干别的啊，放假时间专用
可是现在还面临很大的压力啊
几篇文章看上去语言还可以，可是大大超时，很要命的
给足了时间谁都能想出来，问题时只有一点时间
今天看人家40words的长句随便写，感觉差距大啊
同样的内容人家很快写好我就得磨磨蹭蹭也不一定很好

I strongly agree with the author on the claim that gifted children should be identified and provided special education. Since such training can help better develop talented individual(help these talented individuals develop better ) and greatly benefit the whole society, it is necessary to put this proposal into reality as soon as possible. 观点鲜明，其实，你的开头很不错嘛

Both theoretical studies and experimental practices have indicated that gifted children would better develop themselves under circumstances specially designed for them. Starting with the observation of extraordinary children, teachers from kindergartens and elementary schools have long been reporting their being obsessed with certain "troublesome" kids by their unique behavioral patterns. For example, while the whole class is learning basic arithmetic such as twelve plus thirteen is twenty-five, a math whiz, exercising multiplication on 4-digit numbers without awareness of what's going on in the classroom, may always draw the teacher's attention. So it is very often a headache for the teachers in that to punish this committed kid for not being attentive is so unreasonable. Actually letting him/her to stay in this class is an unreasonable thing itself since what is taught is far behind what is wanted. Hence the solution is to set up a special class or institution for all kids of this kind. I came to know one of these classes in China which mainly aims at academically promising stars. Some thirty talented children of ten years old from elementary schools are enrolled every two years and they will be sent to universities in various majors at the age of fourteen, since they are capable of learning much more and much faster. That is to say ------ take the chemistry major as an example ------ some of them will be doing experiments in university chemistry curriculum with ease while others of the same age find it painful to understand the composition of water. It makes a great difference once their potentials are fully developed. Therefore one can see the necessity in providing the talented such institutions as the genuine nourishment they need. 这段有些长，我觉得内容上有精简的余地。另外，第一句是Both theoretical studies and experimental practices have indicated，但后面你没有说明theoretical studies的结果，只谈了experimental practices. 这叫做提出了问题，却不回答。按老俞的说法，这是很要命的错误！

Moreover, these specialized institutions are capable of preventing some unpleasant consequences. Needless to say without these institutions we will miss the chance to produce numerous experts on various fields, or at least their debuts have to be postponed. More importantly, the unbalanced development, that is indulgence in their field of interest and disregard on others, is a commonplace among gifted children. A young math whiz may find it hard to ask for direction when lost his/her way since he/she is poor at communication. Or a young poet with personality flaws frequently complains for his/her absurd demands not being fulfilled. This problem is particularly conspicuous in that they are unexpectedly superior in one field yet unbearably inferior in another. In this case, gifted children's class can better afford solutions（afford better solutions） than(do) ordinary ones as their experts on psychology(their psychological experts) can put more emphasis on these points, while ordinary school teachers tend to overlook such problems. In these classes it is far more convenient to make distinct therapy for individual on his/her own drawbacks, and produce genius with personality well-being(well-rounded personality) and other necessary living skills. Thus the specialized institutions yield experts but not maniacs, which is a very satisfying outcome. 这段论述清晰有力！

Last but not the least, establishment of these institutions is beneficial to the society. These kids with special training will generally work at an early age, and therefore produce more wealth for the society.（你过多地强调了创造财富，创造知识呢？） Teenage university graduates can best support this thesis. The society spend less on their education yet gets back more once they get a job. Also it has been found out that people are usually more creative in their youth, as we recall those prominent figures（reminding us of some prominent figures ）like Goethe, or Mozart, or Einstein. On the behalf of the society it is advantageous for the talented spend his/her youth on research than on education(这句话在内容上不大恰当). Therefore we can expect more inventions from them, be they scientific theory or painting masterpiece. Eventually we see how wise it is to invest in the special training programs. 这一段论述不大有力，给人一种急功近利的感觉。超常儿童才几个，他们早几年干活，又能多创造多少东西？

In conclusion, I believe identification and special education for gifted children is necessary for the society. These projects should be carried out without hesitation, and the society will find it a strikingly wise decision as the talented make contributions in all aspects of life.


同意你的论点。批判思维并不代表反对一切，有些issue题目本身是从反面立论的，你在反一次就不是批判，而是支持了。这个题目我觉得就是从反面立论的，支持更能显得critical thinking.
内容上，前两段挺好的，第三段我觉得会大大削弱文章的cogency。培养超常儿童最大的弊端就是可能造成急功近利，揠苗助长。而你偏偏从这个角度来论述你的观点，甚为不妥！

imongUID：140258

感觉第三段又是没话扯话了吧
theoretical的确该删
这是一个should题，当然可以反过来说如果不……就怎么样
碰到is题恐怕就没这么走运喽

很好的文章
很精彩的评价
我也要努力了！
对了，happyman，如果你写这篇文章的话，会从哪方面着手，可否借鉴一下你的syllabus呢！
