In the society nowadays, as the advocation [advocate]for unique characteristic and the free development of individuals, more and more schools place emphasis on the personal interests and needs of their students. Yet I disagree with the speaker [speaker’s]assertion that education will be truly effective only when it is designed to meet the needs and interests of each person in that the way to provide truly effective education is contorted and simplified.
Conventionally, individual needs and interests do have a great impact on learning and researching. It is personal interests that [not only]arouse great curiosity and motivation of students to learn and[and 换为but also句式会更清楚点] encourage them to conquer the problems they face in order to probe for the truth. Just think about the famous inventor, Edison, whose inventions have benefited human beings till now, and among his more than 100 inventions, most are the result of his persistent personal interest.
However, can education be effective only through satisfying individual’s needs and interests? Probably not. Generally, we consider the following two [似乎two following points更妥当]as the criterions of the educational effectiveness: 1. Can students give full play to their potential for their study? 2. Have the children learned what is basically needed for their study? As we scrutinize the way to achieve education [achieve 的是教育?还是教育的目标呢?]only through meeting individual’s interests by these two criterions[跟scrutinize关联并不紧密], we can find that the speaker’s assertion remains dubious.
To begin with, education that is designed only to meet individual’s needs cannot enable students to give full play to their potential of learning. First of all, lacking enough experience and substantive knowledge, students are too young to choose their own interests. The so-called “interests” for them maybe just something seems mysterious which remains superficial to their conception.[这个句子有毛病] For that matter, they even don’t know where their true interests lie in, let alone [记得北美里面用的是trying]try their best to learn it. Furthermore, for some students, they only have some unreasonable interests which will do them nothing but harm-----such as video games, gambling, etc, in this case, how can they achieve in their study?
Secondly, if students only care about [确定有这个用法么]what they are interested, their ken will be narrowed in a small field, so that their ability to grasp the knowledge will be inevitably constrained. It is commonly known that a myriad of subjects composed the large-scale and complex knowledge system, [换下句式跟后面的句子连接会更好a large-scale and integrate knowledge system is composed of a myriad of subjects]in which one interact [interacts]with another[one, another 指代什么呢,是不是指subject呢,说清楚啊]. Students merely learn [learning]what they are interested is no more than a frog just sit [sitting]on the bottom of a well [and]thinking the sky as large as the big of the well.[这个比喻用在这挺好的]
Thirdly, if education is designed to meet the interests of students while ignoring the teaching of the basic knowledge and skills,[请问学生的兴趣与基本知识技能是对立的么?满足了前者就一定忽视后者么,最好用education is overemphasized to meet ……] which will give the basic way of thinking and solving problems and which is the ground for any further study in mastering of academic subjects, the students will find it difficult to step further during the process of learning and researching[research]. For example, mathematics, knowledge of which as the foundation of most subjects, enables us to think logically, and accordingly, no one can make sophisticated analysis in any field without the knowledge of mathematics.
On the other hand, basic skills and knowledge can make students learn based on a solid knowledge foundation, and studying of diverse subjects will broad the horizon of students as well as make use of the interaction of different field [fields]to understand the knowledge profoundly. Hence, education can be effective through these good ways.
In sum, education only focus[focusing] on interests will restrain the learning of students, and the effectiveness is only partly due to individual’s interests, and aside from it, largely relies on the basic knowledge and well-round learning.
语言过关,句式灵活,内容丰富,但在逻辑结构上basic skills and knowledge那段似乎有走题之嫌,如果能像上一段那样论述学生不感兴趣但对实现education effective很重要的basic skills and knowledge会更好。
