没有时间了，11月16日早上考，今天写了第一篇，提纲是孙远的，第一段和末段是网友的，中间内容自己的，连孙远的论证句式都没看，练了10篇ARGUE后写的，忘了写了多久：
A national should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer.
正文：
Should a nation require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college, while prohibit schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer, as the speaker asserts? As far as I am concerned, the two facets are not mutually exclusive.
Though there is good reason to argue for a required national curriculum for all schools, national government should refrain from violating rights of ethnic groups.

First, a national curriculum contributes to keep a unified and cohesive country, in the part of education, which is partly represented by the same national curriculum. As the head of undergraduate admission department of my university once said (and I paraphrase): “ Though we choose students mainly by his or her intellectual potential, strength of character, and love of learning, the level of his or her average performance in secondary school and the score in a national wide standard exam are as important as those above, which is a objective ruler to scale the students.” This illustrates the importance of the same national curriculum in the students’ academic life. Moreover, a national curriculum contributes to preserve a unified national culture and national cohesion. How can one image the students of a nation learn different history of the country? How can one image the students of a nation learn different politics policies of the country? Simply put, without the same national curriculum, our society would find itself bogged down in a chaos, without a unified principle of the national spirit, and the education institutions would find itself perplexed, without a basic standard to make comparison.

However, on the other hand, in a multi-culture society, different ethnic communities should be given the opportunity to preserve their traditional cultures. For instance, Canada, which is proud of its cultural mosaic, encourage different ethic groups keep their own cultures. In Quebec, besides the usual national curriculum, the schools have their own French class and some other class related to the area’s history and culture. Another case is in China, which has 55 minorities. How can they keep their unique tradition and language without being assimilated? The answer is to set up their own classes, such as their language, history, even traditional writing. It is very important for different ethnic communities to keep their own traditional cultures. If given them the opportunity only after high school age, it might be too late for the teenagers to fully understand and involved in their unique culture. As a result, a decadence of a multi-cultural community might occur, especially in today’s accelerating globalization.

Then, a question occurs: How can a nation endow its different parts with the rights to prosper their traditional cultures and at the same time keep the strong cohesion in the national wide scale? The best way out of this dilemma is to combine a required national core curriculum with additional ethnic course. For example, all the schools have the same curriculum, such as science, national politics and history, official language, meanwhile, with the freedom to supply the students the  classes with help to keep the community’s tradition, such as local history and language. Not only does this make for a standard and scale for comparison all the students, give rise to fortify the cohesion and national spirit, but also it guarantees the continuity of the cultures and traditions of different parts in a same country.

In conclusion, there is no easy solution to such a complex issue which relates to culture, politics, education and other facets I have no time to explore in details here. However, taking into account the factors of the issue discussed above analysis, might be the first step out of the dilemma.
