Do you agree with the following statement? Children should play sports only for fun, and should not attend competitions and contests.

It always catches parents or educators’ concerns that for what kind of intentions they choose an activity for children. For example parents take kids to attend piano classes to culture their perceptions of music, give kids pastels to let them catch the feelings of color. And sports play an significant role in this case. As children plays sports in their daily lives it can’t be ignored to think about the intentions of doing sports. Some emphasize that children should play sports just for fun and no competitions and contests for them. There is probably some truth to this argument, but I take opposite opinion which as far as I concerned, competitions and contests are truly important for children.

First, it should be noticed that sports without other playmates would hardly for children to accept. Companions make activities more fun and children need a growing-up environment full of companions. Just as it is a normal thing to see a group of kids playing football game but it is rare to see one child take a long-distance running as an outdoor sport. When there are people, there are competitions, it is competition that make sports more attractive and fun. For instance, image there are two groups of children playing football, since the opposing sides exist, competition cannot be avoided because a natural impulse of winning that the children all have. Thus scramble, sweat and whoop begin and all above bring exciting emotion. Higher scores make winning team excited, lower scores make losing team swear to fight back and what is the result is the next time of football game is decided. So if grown-ups don’t allow children attend sports with the factor of competition, I’m afraid it would induce a consequence that children no longer love sports.

Second, it would contribute children’s success in their futures to let them know what is failure and how to deal with failure. The earlier children face the failure----no matter big or small----the earlier they would get sober when failure happens again. When time comes they would appreciate their parents has already let them experience it. What’s more, it is widely known that the youngs are gaining more and more pressures, some of those pressures are brought by losing in daily lives. And as we all know that sooner or later these children have to integrate into the community, it would never be late to teach them how to survive under pressure. So it is a good and more accepted way to culture children the sense of failure through sports contests. In the long run, they would not being nerves, losing themselves in front of failure and would perform better in their stressed lives.

Some may argue that it would bring bad effects to let children be in touch with competitions so early, such as they may develop an ill attitude of treating matches or they may overplay the situation between winning and losing. However, winning is not the most vital thing in sports. The most significant thing children should learn is how to be with their companions and what kind of attitude they should hold to treat their competitors. There is no better way for one child to understand friendship than the way of putting them fighting for the same goal with his or her teammates. They work each other, help each other, laugh together and cry together and in the end they know what makes a friend and how to treasure friends. On the other hand, they would also see the efforts the other team has made which would let them know that they should respect their competitors as well because everyone tries their best to approach their goals.

It always catches parents’ concerns that should they encourage teenagers to take part-time jobs or not. As population becomes larger and larger, the challenge of entering societies turns more and more tough. In order to confront this challenge, many parents encourage their children to get part-time jobs. Of course there may come up with some problems but I indeed agree with this allege.

First, as an old saying goes that the early bird gets the worm, teenagers who get in touch with the outside world would adapt to this society much better in the future. For example, as fresh blood in this society, graduated students often suffered setbacks in job-hunting markets for lacking of practice work experiences. Cause more and more companies pay more and more attentions to realistic experience along with the high pace of modern lives. Thus under this situation, those who have accumulated work experiences in part-time jobs would win in the personal market more possible. So teenagers should take a part-time job cause it act as a warm-up exercise for them to take the full-time job in the future.

Second, students can promote their studies through part-time jobs. For instance, I am a students major in Animation. But the different between my classmates and me is that I have had a part-time job in a local animation company. Through this experience I have learn that something that doesn’t exist in books but in practice. And because my practice enables me to better understand what I’ve learned from book, I got the opportunity to go beyond my classmates. So I am now the top student in my class. On the other hand, taking part-time jobs may offer teenagers opportunities to discover their talents in other areas or their self-worth. Because if students who over-emphasis on formal learning may lose the sense of finding their true interests.

Last but not the least, part-time jobs can partly relieves students’ financial burden, especially those from poor families. As we all know that colleges fees has increased in the past decade and our bank system failed to loan students as effectively as it claimed to developed the country. So taking part-time jobs becomes an effectual way for poor students to meet their great expenses in campus lives. Some may argue that taking part-time job may lead teenagers to be so keen on making money that they may neglect their studies. However, every coin has its two sides. It is both parents and children’s duty to teach and learn to reach a balance between working and studying so that disadvantages could be avoided.

All in all, in my opinion, the advantages overweight its disadvantages. Parents should encourage teenagers to take a part-time job cause it would teach them knowledge that they can’t get from school, teach them how to deal with non-school group and finally succeed thin their lives.

In the lecture, the professor refuses to support the statement in the reading passage. She believes that the harms from salvage logging outweigh the benefits and she discusses the points made in the passage one by one.

First of all, the professor doubts the necessity of creating right conditions for trees growth. Since the natural development of wood, as a fact the professor puts, are good for soil to become more suitable for future generations of trees, she gives her first opinion that moving dead trees may damage the situation of soil culturing which means the conditions of future generations of trees may be harmed.

Secondly, the professor enumerates a data about insect population’s exiting condition to fight the passage’s assertion of the damage causing by insects. The fact is that the spruce bark beetles have lived in Alaska forest for nearly 100 years without causing major damage. On the other hand, the professor also points out the same effects work on insects or birds which may bring benefits to the forests. If dead trees are moved, not only spruce bark beetles would disappeared, but also lots of beneficial insects would disappeared.

What’s more, consider form the degree and duration of economic benefits, the professor objects the passage’s assertion. She points out that factories can move dead trees only by complex and inconvenient tools. Thus, this job may spend more money than it can earn. As a result, moving dead trees would not necessary benefit the forest after fire.

It always catches parents’ concerns that should they encourage teenagers to take part-time jobs or not. As population becomes larger and larger(不精练), the challenge of entering societies turns more and more tough(这一句感觉有点别扭). In order to confront this challenge, many parents encourage their children to get part-time jobs(这一句里面，主语是many parents，前面就不能是 confront this challenge，因为是their children 在confront this challenge). Of course there may come up with some problems(,)but I indeed agree with this allege.

First, as an old saying goes that the early bird gets the worm, teenagers who get in touch with the outside world (应该强调越早接触社会，与前面的early birds 相对应)would adapt to this society much better in the future. For example, as fresh blood in this society(我不知道有没有这种说法，感觉挺吓人的，呵呵), graduated students often suffered(时态一致) setbacks in job-hunting markets for lacking of practice work experiences（赘述）. Cause more and more companies pay more and more attentions to realistic experience along with the high pace of modern lives(的Cause有点口语化，而且跟下一句好像分不开，之间用分号就可以了。More and more 用得多了，已经3个了). Thus under this situation, those who have accumulated work experiences in part-time jobs would win in the personal market(是人才市场吗？) more possible(possible 应该是修饰win，要用副词). So teenagers should take a part-time job cause it act (单复数) as a warm-up exercise(可以尝试用同位语，更加精练，如……part-time job，a warm-up exercise，……) for them to take the full-time job in the future.

Second, students can promote their studies through part-time jobs. For instance, I am a students major in Animation. But the different(名词) between my classmates and me is that I have had a part-time job in a local animation company. Through this experience I have learn that something that doesn’t exist in books but in practice. And because my practice enables me to better understand what I’ve learned from book, I got the opportunity to go beyond my classmates. So I am now(语序) the top student in my class. On the other hand, taking part-time jobs may offer teenagers opportunities to discover their talents in other areas or their self-worth. Because if students who over-emphasis(动词) on formal learning may lose the sense of finding their true interests.(这一段，感觉逻辑不够严密，首先通过part-time job不一定能promote their studie，因为工作浪费比较多的时间，学习时间少了，就算专业内知识可以提升，其他学习不一定。应该有所限定。语法上应该更加严谨。句式上也不灵活，全篇because 太多)

Last but not the least, part-time jobs can partly relieves (主谓一致)students’ financial burden, especially those from poor families. As we all know that colleges fees（学费不是这样吧） has increased in the past decade and our bank system failed to loan students as effectively as it claimed to developed the country. So taking part-time jobs becomes an effectual way for poor students to meet their great expenses in campus lives. Some may argue that taking part-time job may lead teenagers to be so keen on making money that they may neglect their studies. However, every coin has its two sides. It is both parents and children’s duty to teach and learn to reach a balance between working and studying so that disadvantages could be avoided.' (这一段回答了问题吗？问的是part-time jobs是不是一个最好的办法去准备将来的adult life，那能减轻financial burden 跟adult life怎么联系呢，应该说在挣钱过程中学到了如何理财吧，这样才能联系起来。同时，题眼是不是最好的方法，这一点没有得到回答。如果是，就应当说别的方法不能达到什么什么的目的，而这个方法才可以。如果不是，也应回答。如果让步，也应该是这个方法是一个好方法，但不能不加分析的说这是一个最好的方法，因为every coin has its two sides)

All in all, in my opinion, the advantages overweight its disadvantages. Parents should encourage teenagers to take a part-time job cause it would teach them knowledge that they can’t get from school, teach them how to deal with non-school group and finally succeed thin their lives.

提了些个人观点，希望能有所帮助。呵呵，加油

First of all, the professor doubts thenecessity of creating right conditions for trees growth（Cleaning up the forests after athunder or storm do necessarily to create the right condition to trees growth.）. Since the natural development（Process） of wood, as a fact the professorputs, are good for soil to become more suitable for future generations of trees.she gives her first opinion that moving dead trees may damage the situation ofsoil culturing which means the conditions of future generations of trees may beharmed.

Secondly, the professor enumerates adata about insect population’s exiting condition to fight the passage’sassertion of the damage causing by insects.（用从句是不是会更好些） The fact is that the spruce bark beetles have lived in Alaska forest for nearly100 years without causing major damage. On the other hand, the professor also（与 on the other hand 有点重复） points out the same effectswork（Also works onother insects and birds…） on insects or birds which may bring benefits to the forests. Ifdead trees are moved, not only spruce bark beetles would disappeared, but alsolots of beneficial insects would disappeared.（Lecture doesn’t mention disappeared. Salvage logging may do moreharm than harm insects）

What’s more, consider form the degree andduration of economic benefits, the professor objects the passage’s assertion.She points out that factories can move dead trees only by complex andinconvenient tools. Thus, this job may spend more money than it can earn. As aresult, moving dead trees would not necessary benefit the forest after fire.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students are more influenced from their teacher rather than their friends.

Nowadays, many people are wild about education problems. One of the hottest questions under debate is whether students are more influenced from their teacher rather than their friends. Some people hold the approval issue because they convince that students attending school is to get educated and teachers are full of life experiences. But I disagree with that. In my opinion, students are more influenced from their friends because of the following reasons.

First, see from the hours students spend with teachers, it is obviously that students spend more time with their friends than their teachers. In students daily lives, ordinarily they only meet their teachers in class. However, they can meet their friends in or out class. For example, when I was in middle school, I spent 7 hours in class. But I continued hung around with my friends after class even include weekends. We studied together and shared our own ideas in order to acquire more information. In my experiences it seems the influences from teachers are limited.

Second, for most of time the communications between teachers and students are monodirectional while between students and their friends are bidirectional. It is hard to see a student talk to his teacher as much as his teacher talks to him. It is always to receive but not to exchange. Thus the effects generating under this situation are not so effective since students would get tired of listening. But it would act opposite while communicating with their friends. They would talk to each other, transport their ideas to each other and do motions to each other. As a result, the influences among them double and go deep.

Somebody may argue that it can’t be ignored that there many good teachers who have endeavored to exercise influences on their students. Commonly their approach is to have the students who always get low grade talk in his office. However it doesn’t seem that influential, because teachers don’t really understand their students. This function works, but influence from friends gets better.

So, I believe that students are more influenced from their friends who have similar perspective on life than from their teacher who have less time spending with them and don’t usually listen but just talk.

2.16综合  TPO16 In the lecture, the professor refuses to support the statement in the reading passage. She believes that the phenomena indicated in the passage can be overthrown by the publishing of new rules and guidelines in 1990. First, she points out a premise of starting any construction product which reduces the possibility of destroying artifacts mentions in reading passage. The premise is that the site under construction must be examined by archeologists first to see if this site is of interest or value. Workers can only start project if the site is of interest. What’s more, there would gather many archeologists and government officials to discuss about how to preserving the artifacts before formal construct. Second, she corrects the saying about archeologists’ paying issue by letting us know an important new rule. It is construction company that pays for the archeology works but not the government. It means that the assertion the reading passage announces would no longer exist. On the contrary, this function of construction companies supporting funding can make the archeology works goes farther than ever did. What’s more, the professor numerates another new jobs and careers supplied for archeologists due to the new rules in 1990. For example, as the professor mentions, all of the paid-off flow paths happen in a whole projects, including examines, making plans and so on, allow expert archeologists to join in. All above provide that archeology works were not as tough as mentions in reading passage.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To make children do well at school, parents should limit the time children spend on watching TV and movies.

It always catches parents’ concerns that should they limit the time children spend on watching TV and movies or not. In order to make children do well at school, as somebody asserts, the answer is yes. In my opinion, I agree with the statement because of the following reasons.

First, as we all know that children don’t perform their self-controls as well as adults which means they may lose themselves in mastering the time of watching TV and movies. Because watching TV and movies is not so bored like reading books and children can absorb multifarious information from them that is not derived from other medium. Thus children get addicted to this comfort job without a movement in the process. As an investigation comes from Boston University, children can watch TV about 170 hours within a week. As a result, they may desire to continue watching TV instead of going to school or their minds may fill up with TV programs and movies while they are in class.

Second, too much time of watching TV cause under parents’ allowances would do harm to children’s health seriously. For example, the unhealthy life condition of obesity. Research shows that children who often watch TV will snack between meals without a pose. Besides that, sitting for hours in front of a television will make the body do not move and reduce the metabolism. And there are many other health damages such as the decline of near sight would also arise. All these unhealthy living conditions will influence children’s acting at school. They would be more like to blank out in minds or can’s see what the teacher has written on blackboard.

Somebody may argue that children can learn plenty of knowledge that they can’t get from schools or books which would make them do better at school. However on the other hand, there are many TV programs and movies would give bad influent to children. Since children don’t have the ability to tell good and bad information from TV and parents can stay with their kids for all time, it is significant to limit children’s watching TV times for parents and choose children’s watching times within the period they are at home.

So I believe that to make children do well at school, parents should limit the time children spend on watching TV and movies. Otherwise, children may be addicted to it and their grades go down or, they harm their eyes or other health conditions through spending plenty of time in it.
