ISSUE128"It is often asserted that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit. In reality, however, formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free."
To free the mind and the spirit is one of various education purposes, which, however, is often overlooked by formal education nowadays. [开头太简单了点吧,而且只是描述了一下当前现实,并不算你的观点]
There is a diverse array of education purposes. One of them is to make human beings knowledgeable, which is considered as primary goal of education by many schools. As current principal of Tokyo University once said (and I paraphrase):“One of the most important tasks of Tokyo University is to disseminate knowledge to the society.” The reason why some educators take imparting knowledge as one purposes of education is probably that as we all know, knowledge plays a more and more important part in the development of society presently while other than schools there is no proper [place?institution?] that can take on the task of enlightening human beings. Besides, cultivating the social responsibility such protecting environment, standing in line when waiting for the bus and the like, which can make society more harmonious, and creating the habit of organized thinking and of rational analysis, which can be helpful when one learn new knowledge are both education objectives. [这一段和题目有关系,但是太远了,和需要论证的没逻辑联系]
What about freeing the mind and the spirit? Is it also the purpose of education? The answer to the second question is doubtless yes. In 19th century, the founder of Berlin University set out a principal that advocates academic free, learning free and teaching free which is considered as the basic principal of most universities nowadays. The aim of this principal is no other than to create a free academic environment and free the mind and the spirit of students. The people [whose mind and spirit are freed]who have free mind and spirit may think[inspect] what they have learned critically rather than accepting them passively; may have active spirits as well as be eager to absorbing knowledge of their own accord; and may be creative, all of which are of benefit not only to the individuals but also to the society. Just as John Henry, Cardinal Newman said (and I paraphrase), knowledge is something more than a sort of passive reception of scraps and details, and only free mind people can digest and apply it well. It is no wonder that many educators state that one of the purpose of education is to free the mind and spirit. Based on the discussion above, we make easily make conclusion that to free mind and the spirit is one but not the only one purpose of education.[这段太独立了,和教育现状没关系了]
Although a great many of educators keep in mind that freeing mind and the spirit is one purpose of education, referring to implement they often drive to the contrary direction. One need not go further than look the example of formal education, which is largely characterized by classroom teaching, home work, tutorials, practical exercises, excursions etc. Each section of the formal education consists of a sequence of courses offered according to clearly marked curricula and normally also the syllabi are prescribed. What teachers do is to unceasingly present the book knowledge on the blackboard and stuff students' minds and brains with the dead facts. As for my university, we students spend most of our time in reciting outdated materials printed in the books in order not to fail in the exams and no teacher encourage us to think more which is also unnecessary if we only want to [graducate]错了吧. And as I known this phenomenon is prevalent in formal education all over the world.[这一句话多少有点武断吧,按你的说法,在正规教育的模式下,都不可能达到free的目的了;而且 all over the world这是一个多么严重的词语啊]
In conclusion,in today’s education, overlooking the importance of freeing the mind and the spirit which is one of the various purposes of education is a prevailing phenomena.
看完了.这篇名言满多,语句也满流畅.就是整个感觉仅仅只是一般性的描述而且还乱了点,没有达到ISSUE所要求的论证.论调也悲观了点.事实上,我们的教育一直在改革,而且在国外,他们做得也比我们好很多,一直提倡的变应试教育为素质教育,大体也就是想达到这样一个目的啊.如果说正规教育只能束缚人们心灵和思想,那为什么还有那么多国家要强调正规教育呢?那不是越教越傻了吗?只能说目前形式可能有所偏离教育目标,像你第三段说的那样。学生忙着背书了.但是不能因此就整个否认了正规教育.我想想,大概可以重新组织一下.第一段写教育现状(也就是你现在的第三段),第二段写这种情况可能带来的弊病,比如说限制自由思维和批评性思考等,然后再写一段,应该是强调正规教育的作用,尤其是在给人们必要的知识以进行 free thinking 而不是 myth. 反正一定要有一个观点.这篇觉得你观点就不是很正确.当然观点本身是没有错对之分的,你非要否定教育也可以,但是一定要有相关的证据或者公认的事实,而不是"I know...".开头结尾太短了.
建议以后写每篇之前多看别人的提纲,自己写好提纲以后仔细检查,看每一点能证明什么,是不是和自己的总观点有联系.互相之间是不是有联系.不然会有点乱.好了。加油.也@! |
