TOPIC: ISSUE51 - "Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."

      In this era, when the development of individuation is emphasized, it is more effective that diversification of education that meet the needs and interests of students is carried out.

      An educational system that can take into account the specific needs and interests of each student will help the students to fully develop their distinct potential and talent. In such an educational system which is scientific and highly effective, students feeling enjoyable and appreciated will be more motivated to study.  Then we can get twice the result with half the effort.

      People may take for granted that the more specifically designed education one can get according to one’s own needs and interests, the more effective it will turn out to be, since students will be much more actively engaged in study without the necessity to learn what does not interest them, or what seem to be of no apparent help to their future careers. So the most effective way is to specifically designed education to meet the individual needs and interests of each student However, it is unrealistic. Such an educational pattern does not make full use of modern educational resources. Compared with the great population of students, the teaching resource is limited even deficient. For this reason, it is out of the question to set a exhaustive education project and to admeasure the resource specifically for each student according to their interests.

      Students are likely to involve themselves more actively in study if they are offered a unique education designed according to their interests and needs. But even if assuming that the teaching resource is sufficient, specifically designed education should not take the place of traditional general education. Nowadays the society calls for a balance in which there are both specialists and generalists. If an education system excessively lay stress on the individual interests, there might be a mass of students having a narrow range of knowledge. Meanwhile, the traditional education probably brings specialist developing comprehensively.

      What we advocate is not a rigescent education pattern but a diversification of education that meet the needs and interests of students. Although complete liberty in designing education is not available to all individual students, schools is responsible to try their best to offer more choices and autonomy to students as long as the quality of compulsory education is guaranteed. For instance, for students of school of life science, to satisfy their different needs and interests, schools can establish the diverse direction of elective such as zoology and botany and so forth. in the light of this method, it will effectively balances specialization and generalization.

      Consequently, due to analysis and reasons mentioned above, which sometimes intertwine to form an organic whole and thus become more persuasive than any one of them, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that it is more effective to carry out diversification of education that meet the needs and interests of students.

中文提纲：
观点：教育需要多样化，符合学生兴趣，但不需要被专门设计来满足每一个学生的需求。
分论点：
１．在学习中，学生的兴趣是很重要的，如果投其所好，则可能会取得事半功倍的效果。
２．但是，要根据每一个学生的兴趣来极其细化教育，是不可行不现实的。教育资源的有限性。
３．即使可以做到上述情况，但随着社会的全方面的发展，这样培养出来的人多为“专才”而少有“全才”，可能大大不能满足社会对全面人才的需要。
４．我们所要提倡的教育，绝对不是一成不变的僵硬的和完全统一的模式化的教育方式，这样会扼杀学生的创造性和多样性。
所以，要发展多样化的符合学生兴趣的教育。

个人意见：总的来说，本文在结构、论证、逻辑等方面都是相当不错的；语言方面，我有若干词组不太认识，当然了，只给出了个别我实在查不到的词组请作者斟酌。
唯一要提到的是，参考书给的提纲只是供参考而已，不然被判雷同的几率比较大。。
