order to keep their students safe, a lot of school administrators are considering installing
security cameras. Installing cameras, however, can be controversial. There have been protests
and legal action on camera installation at schools nationwide. Should more security cameras be
installed in schools? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully
and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions
from different sides; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content
sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may
result in a loss of rs A teacher from Texas: Yes! Yes! Please do this. This would
be the quickest way to fix our education system at very little cost. Give parents a code to do
real time virtual visits to the classroom. Observe teachers not just for accountability, but for
training purposes. Get rid of behavior management problems on the spot! Schools should have glass
walls and this is the easiest way to have them. A teacher from Kansas: This would prevent abuse
both from teachers and from students. A camera in the classroom should be able to put everyone
on their best behavior. It would be a deterrent against abusive behavior. As a teacher, I would
love to have a camera in the classroom as I strive to behave professionally towards students.
Sometimes, I encounter aggressive and inappropriate behavior. Talking to a parent of an abusive
student would benefit from a short video of the incident. A teacher from New Jersey: The idea
of cameras in classrooms is an absolutely sick one. It has nothing to do with pedagogy, but with
prisons, terror, discomfort, guilt, etc. It induces a constant feeling of guilt, to students,
as well as to teachers. If you are a real professional, as a teacher, or even if you are just
a normal person, claiming a right to normality, especially in schools, you realize that camera
surveillance in class is something coming from paranoid people who cannot lead the activity through
normal ts Terry Piper, a student from Michigan; I feel the time is right for
security cameras at my school. After all, dozens of schools in the county have already done it,
and with some success. There are 30 high schools in Oakland County, and every single one of them
has security cameras except Seaholm and Groves. They've seen thefts go down. They've been able
to solve instances of vandalism on occasion, and there have been student altercations where they've
been helpful. They also serve as a deterrent, so you never know how many things might have happened
if you hadn't had them. Joe, a student from Ohio: I think that security cameras in schools are
a good idea. Having them in the entrances and the hallways is a way to cut back on school crime
and protect the student population. However, I think that putting those cameras actually within
the classrooms violates the privacy of both the students and the teachers. Knowing that someone
could be watching you at all times may bring security, but it's also able to distract students
and teachers and could be harmful to s A parent: Video cameras have begun to invade
privacy. These days, parents are obsessed with monitoring everything about their kids, but taping
their education is not the solution. The cameras would be a distraction, and eager parents would
not be able to resist watching and interfering constantly. In general, cameras are already too
pervasive in society. It has created a culture of big brother watching every last action, and
this prevents people from acting normally because everyone feels they are being watched. Write

正确答案:(正确答案: Should More Security Cameras Be Installed in Schools? Due to the frequent
reoccurrence of various accidents and incidents in schools, such as vandalism, bullying, truancy
and theft, many school administrators are considering installing security cameras in schools as
a preventative countermeasure and many of them have taken the action. However, a heated discussion
has arisen among students, parents, and teachers, about its necessity. The notion is favored by
many teachers, believing that cameras serving as a deterrent can have an immediate effect on
guarding against potential incidents, and consequently a significant decrease in incidents has
been witnessed in schools with the cameras. What's more, other school faculty also find the cameras
a convincing proof when dealing with misbehavior in classrooms. Besides, students believe the
cameras can shield them from harm and bullying. However, some other students disapprove of the
cameras as a distraction for the teachers and students, thus they may exert a negative influence
on learning. What's worse, parents worry the cameras can be a breach of the students' privacy
and they deprive the students of their freedom and fun of life. As for me, I'm inclined to be
in favor of the installation of security cameras as protection. On the one hand, safeguarding
the well-being of all students and the staff is a primary concern for schools today. A properly
installed system of school security cameras is an important tool for ensuring safety in school.
On the other hand, as long as the camera is installed, it warns those with the intention to break
the rules and regulations, therefore a lot of misconduct can be prevented. To summarize, for the
schools facing challenges such as violence or vandalism on campus, school security cameras are
an indispensable aid to identifying and resolving issues as they er, the cameras,
to a large extent, serve as a precaution against the potential misbehavior.)

people suggest that universities should consider awarding more vocational courses to
prepare graduates for work. However, some disagree, arguing that the purpose of university is
to open up students' mind, not to train them. Should there be more vocational courses in colleges?

s Barry: My son started a degree course at the local university, but because of his
dyslexia eventually graduated with an HND, effectively the practical part of the degree. He
currently works in the construction industry and earns much more than several of his co-students
who obtained degrees in less necessary disciplines. My comments are not to undermine the value
of a good degree. I worked with many degree holders who were very good at their work. It is simply
to point out to us that the world needs relevant skills. Lord Digby Jones points out the danger
of unfocused degrees, and the simple fact that there are more skills in the world than those
obtained from a university. Philips: Yes they should. I see many college graduates could not find
a job. Though they have some fancy college degrees, they don't have the vocational skills that
are required to do a certain job. After all, many courses have a vocational element, eg: medicine,
teaching, vets etc. So why not others? To an extent though, we will have to change snobbish
attitudes. Some degrees such as History, English Literature, PPE are considered good but degrees
such as Golf Management, Computer Games Design are considered bad. This would encourage schools
to advise on vocational courses as an option for their students rather than suggesting them opting
for a course that looks good on the university entry statistics. Jacob: There should be many more
vocational courses, but they shouldn't be at universities. The conventional university approach
is not suitable for vocational training. You end up with an institution which combines the
weaknesses of both universities and vocational training colleges, and has the strengths of
sity faculty Mr. Anderson: Universities should be offering academic courses,
training people to think logically and coherently, and teaching research skills. Vocational
courses are the domain of technical colleges. Rachel: Vocational training is better done by
employers or specialised colleges, because by its nature it is often very specialised. The
universities can contribute most effectively by teaching knowledge of general applicability such
as mathematics, languages and science. This was the traditional approach of universities, with
exceptions in the cases of law and medicine, which tend to operate as separate schools anyway,
with a lot of on the job training. Back in the early 1980's Keith Joseph as Mrs. Thatcher's education
secretary of the state, forced the universities to move in the direction that Digby Jones is
advocating, that is to offer more vocational courses. This distracted universities from their
special role in scholarship and research. It may not be a coincidence that the decline of the
UK from the leading position it previously had in the traditional fields accelerated from that
time on. I suggest that we should let the universities revert to their traditional role, and then
set up training colleges, or whatever, for the specialised skills required by industry. Write
your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.

正确答案:(正确答案: Should There Be More Vocational Courses in Universities? With the Chinese
government's objective to reach high level of university attendance, there's a school of thought
saying that China is now educating too many young people to university degree level and that those
same youngsters, and the job market, would be better served by much more focus on vocational courses
during their college education. A heated discussion has arisen as to whether universities should
offer more vocational courses. There are quite a number of people agreeing with the idea. They
argue that the society is suffering from an odd phenomenon, that is on the one hand a large number
of college graduates fail to find a position in the job market, while on the other hand many
employers complain about a severe lack of skilled workers. Therefore, universities should
undertake the responsibility and offer more vocational courses to equip the students with certain
vocational skills. On the flip side, a lot of other people hold different views, maintaining that
colleges can be made best use of when they teach knowledge of general applicability. Should there
be more vocational courses? It would be more sensible for specialized vocational schools to offer
them than colleges. Balancing the two sides of the argument, I tend to agree with the former opinion.
To begin with, employers are increasingly requesting a greater element of vocational training
be introduced alongside academic studies, something which many universities should start
responding to, one example being vocational training for medical students to prepare them more
thoroughly for responsibilities like dealing with patients or managing staff. Combinations of
the two are more and more sought after by employers in order to produce new workers with a more
rounded skill set who are better prepared for all of the demands of the roles they are taking
on. Secondly, the most important lesson of all is that young people need to be provided with a
greater understanding of the variety of options available to them and should shake off any
preconceptions that vocational training can only lead them to a second-class career. On the
contrary, it can lead to valuable, lucrative and fulfilling professions. In short, I think it's
clear that vocational course is no longer the poor relation of the university degree. Rather,
it is filling a gap which college education is not necessarily covering when it comes to equipping
young people with practical skills for the workplace.)

Ministry of Education is banning universities from recruiting students based on gender.
Many people say this policy will bring about true equality for female students. But there are
still some debates on whether it is advisable for universities to set enrollment ratios based
on gender. The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write
your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from
different sides; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content
sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may
result in a loss of ts Ouyang Le, a fresh graduate from a Guangzhou high school: The
rules affected me. I had wanted to study at the University of International Relations. I scored
614 on the gaokao, but as a woman, I needed 628. If I had been a man, I would have needed just
609. Most young women do not speak up, instead silently switching their major or university. It
was difficult to know how many women were affected every year, however, the number could run in
the hundreds or thousands. Xiong Jing: We protest a growing trend in Chinese universities in which
women increasingly must score higher than men to get in and face unofficial but widespread gender
quotas that favor men. But the Education Ministry responded that the practices were in the
"national interest". The response made us really angry—it's just such a pity. It's illegal too.
The Education Law forbids discrimination on several grounds including gender. And the Education
Ministry is allowing it. Zhou Haipeng, who graduated from college two years ago with a degree
in Arabic studies: In Arabic countries, many local people feel more comfortable working with men.
Male graduates with his major had an easier time getting a job. The majority of my classmates
ended up working in companies related to the Arabic rs Zhang Ting, a teacher at Beijing
No. 5 High School: I agreed with the ministry's ban on gender discrimination. The regulation
reaches true equality principles, which will benefit all students equally. But it is
understandable that some universities have gender requirements for some majors. It reflects the
market demand. It is better to clarify the need when entering universities instead of recruiting
thousands of students who cannot land jobs after als Tang Shangshu, a counselor
at the School of Plant Sciences: Generally speaking, boys mature later, while girls have good
study habits. In addition, Mr. Tang said that many jobs that once required physical labor had
been replaced by labor-saving science and technologies. That had removed women's physical
disadvantages, while in terms of wisdom boys may not have particularly obvious advantages. Ms.
Lu, the Media Monitor program monitor: Young women today have real opportunities to study, and
that they are becoming so outstanding is really to their credit, their families' credit and to
the country's credit. They worked so hard to get these high grades. And we cannot accept that
the Education Ministry is infringing on their rights. They must respect their own e
Lu Pin; In view of consideration of the national interest, to meet personnel training needs in
some job areas or specialties, a few colleges may appropriately adjust the enrollment ratios of
men and women. An official, at the Teaching Office at the China University of Political Science
and Law: The school did not have gender-based enrollment policies. For criminology, female
students must account for less than 15 percent of students because of the nature of their future
career. But women were scoring so well that in practice a higher percentage were being admitted.

正确答案:(正确答案: Is It Advisable for Universities to Set Enrollment Ratios Based on Gender?
Several years ago, there were complaints filed by female students who were discriminated in
admissions to 11 prestigious universities in China. Several universities were also accused of
lowering their passing rate for entrance-admission tests for male applicants. Therefore, a heated
discussion has arisen as to whether it is justifiable to set enrollment ratios based on gender.
Quite a number of female students protested vigorously against this policy. They hold that it
breaches the law of equality when female students are required of higher grades to be admitted
into universities than their male counterparts. What's more, some experts have also maintained
that female students no longer face the disadvantages in terms of physical strength compared with
male ones in the job market, because with the advancement of technology, many labor-demanding
jobs have been replaced by scientific and technological innovations. Therefore, concerns about
female disadvantages in certain majors should be eased and eradicated. However, other experts
still find this policy in accordance with the interest of both the nation and the female students
concerned in light of their future career. They hold that due to the fact that some jobs are
male-oriented, it's understandable for the universities to set gender ratios. Taking the arguments
of the two sides into account, I am inclined to agree with the former opinion. For one thing,
it is an undeniable right for female students to enjoy the same chances and rights to receive
education as male students. It infringes on their fundamental human rights when they're denied
to apply certain majors and universities because of their gender. For another, it is claimed that
some majors favor male students because their future jobs are most likely undertaken by males.
However, this is a false argument, because dating back, all the jobs used to be undertaken by
men and women were prohibited to take a career life. Women have proved their intelligence and
competence to fulfill all the career they are allowed to do. Therefore, no one should doubt their
ability in terms of job performance and all they need is the chance to show how good they are
by being admitted into these majors in the first place. To sum up, it is a woman's inalienable
right to enjoy equal opportunity in terms of education. As a place shaping and modeling the young
of the world, universities should pilot the effort to present equality to women by removing the
gender ratios of their majors.)

academic curriculum has never been all that schools and colleges offer to their students.
Often a range of other classes, clubs and activities is available to students, referred to as
extra-curricular activities and they are mostly voluntary for students. Examples would include
sports, musical activities, debate, community service, Young Enterprise projects etc. Whether
the extra-curriculum should be attached great importance in schools and colleges? The following
are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about
300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment.
Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language
quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Lahowl: Students
have the right to be able to choose a broad education. Every child and young person are entitled
to experience a broad general education. Even if a student does not aim to be a professional
musician they should still have the opportunity to learn an instrument. A career is not the only,
or the most important, part of an adult's life—school needs to make sure they have interests
and skills that will help them in their family and leisure life too. Megan: Extra-curricular
activities are prohibitively expensive for schools. Giving a greater place in education to the
extra-curriculum means that many more clubs and activities will have to be organised for students.
This will be very expensive as it will require more staff and more resources to be paid for. This
explains why most schools that currently offer a large extra-curriculum are well-funded fee-paying
institutions. NimmO: Extra-curricular activities have important health benefits. Most
extra-curricular activities are physically active, getting the students out from behind their
desks and making them try new things. Physical activity is extremely important for general health
whilst ensuring that students are exposed to practical tasks, not just what is taught in class.
Sport clubs and teams give students the opportunity to do physical exercise in an enjoyable
environment. TVO: Making extra-curricular activities compulsory makes them less attractive to
students. It will take the fun out of it and strip it of its benefits. In the end, the key is
fun. Successful extra-curricular groups work precisely because the students have voluntarily
chosen to be there. If some were forced to take part, they would be less enthusiastic and spoil
the activity for the rest. And the more the activity is like ordinary school, the less attractive
it will be to young people. Most of the personal development benefits associated with
extra-curricular commitments—such as altruistic service, initiative-taking, and leadership
skills—come from the voluntary nature of the activity. Estelle: Extra-curricular activities
encourage interpersonal interactions that are good for building a strong civil society. Boosting
the place of the extra-curriculum in schools is one way of addressing a weakness in modern society,
a lack of civil strength and community. Activities offered in schools are vital in providing
opportunities to learn the diverse skills, and helping to equip young people with the civic spirit,
initiative and organizing skills to set up their own clubs, teams and activity groups when they
leave education. A successful extra-curriculum often depends on building links between the school
and the wider community, bringing local enthusiasts in to work with students, and sending students
out to work on community projects. Nicola: Students should focus on gaining the specialist skills
they need for their chosen professions. Most specialist professions still provide a range of career
opportunities, without any need to compromise academic education by over-emphasis on non-academic
activities. There are concerns that schools do not focus enough on core subjects. School-leavers
and even graduates lack basic literacy and numeracy skills, according to a survey of big employers.

正确答案:(正确答案: Whether the Extra-Curriculum Should Be Attached Great Importance in Schools
and Colleges? It is worth pointing out that the purpose of education is not only to know how to
make bread, but also to know how to taste bread sweet. The latter can only be taught in
extra-curricular activities apart from academic training. In actuality, the non-academic
activities can furnish the educated with the weapon for the mental well-being. Advocates of
extra-curricular activities suggest that the endowed right of receiving a broad education has
been shown due respect with the bonus of health benefits in the activities which, furthermore,
foster a strong civil society by building links between the school and community service. On the
other hand, the opposites complain about the prohibitive cost for activities and the urgent social
demand for professional talents with literacy and numeracy skills, and the unexpected deprivation
of joy in the seemingly compulsory activities. The diversified extra-curricular activities could
possibly supply the educated with a platform for mental well-being. To begin with, in education,
more often than not, one uniform approach, especially mechanical memorization and implantation,
has been adopted in academic teaching, without proper consideration for students who do not learn
by the methods employed. Those who fall into less feasible learning models in classrooms are
considered as either delinquent or introverted students who are often the victims of the poor
academic achievement. Fortunately, given the chance, those assumed academically poor students
could form their identity, by discovering their weaknesses and strengths in activities, such as
gardening, crafts, cookery and dance, and possibly meet their soul mates which are the endurable
treasure for their lives based on the same interest and experience. Most importantly, team spirit,
an indispensable tool for one's success in career and life, could be, to a large extent, enacted
in those non-academic activities, because of the mutual appreciation and compromise received and
giving in the group of sports, musical activities, debate, etc. It is safely concluded, based
on the above arguments, that extra-curriculum is doubtless a treasure island worthy of investment
and exploration for one's mental well-being.)
