A part-time job helps you become more independent of your family. Thirdly, the experience that you gain through job can broaden you school life. You may lose time n

2、eeded for sleep, rest, study, club activities, and recreation. Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and energy and may affect study. You may find it hard to adjust to what the school expects from you as well as what your employer has the right to expect.Because of the advantages and di

3、sadvantages of a part-time job, you have to strike a balance between school and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge, especially more learning, is your first important task.With the economic development of our country, more and more college students are engaged in the activities of doing

4、part-time jobs. People wonder whether it is good or bad for students to do so.It goes without saying that part-time working at college has some advantages. First, a part time job brings them more money and helps them to reduce their parents economic burdens.Second, it offers them a chance to demonst

5、rate their ability and to apply what they have learned in school. Third, it helps them to gain some social and economic knowledge and to practice their social abilities, which are of great help to their future career. Finally, it enriches their campus life.But this activity may bring some disadvanta

6、ges to the students. First, too much part - time working may lose their time needed for their sleep, rest, study and recreation. Second, it may affect their studies if they come back with tiredness. And as a result, their studies are going down. Finally, more money may bring bad effects on some of t

7、he students who spend their time smoking, drinking, dressing other than studying.In my opinion, those students should keep a balance between study and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge, especially more book learning knowledge, is the main task. Although apart-time job can do you a worl

8、d of good, you should not spend too much time on it.2实践、旅行和读书As a matter of fact, real knowledge comes from practice and direct experience. Only outside the classroom can we apply what we have learned and get new knowledge. Although we can learn more outside, the study in class also plays an importa

9、nt role.Books are of various kinds and have different contents. We have history books recording past events, geography books dealing with the earth, mathematics books focusing on space and numbers. We have various books dealing with different things in the world. Reading books can enrich our knowled

10、ge. We can learn lots of things we did not previously know, and be aware of what has happened in the past as well as what is going to happen in the future. Its impossible for a man to learn everything through his own experience, while books can help him to achieve this purpose. It is by reading that

11、 we can learn many things without actually seeing or hearing them.Life is limited, but knowledge is boundless. The more books we read, the more knowledge we get. To read books is necessary to one who wishes to get knowledge. Different books give different kinds of knowledge.3出国留学By looking at our ow

12、n country from the outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. While studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visit famous scenic spots and make friends with the local people. We can use the foreign langua

13、ge in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly. But the most important thing in attending a foreign university is to get acquainted with the latest knowledge in science and technology and make use of the first rate facilities available.However, as everything

14、has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate proficiency in the language spoken there. On arriving there, they will find it difficult to under

15、stand what the instructors are saying. For lack of knowledge of the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. The cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help sup

16、port themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little. One must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind. It is a good thing to go and

17、 study abroad particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in our country. But on the other hand, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.4考试There are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examination. Some people think examination is the only way to test how e

18、xaminees have mastered what they have studied, and it is the only measurement for examiners to select which persons they need. On the other hand, some object that examination cant measure how the students have really studied. They say it can do nothing but burden the students.As for me, I think for

19、both examinees and examiners, the examination can show what and how much the examinees have mastered. The results of examinations are just like mirrors for both examiners and examinees. Through examination the examiners can check their work and become aware of which aspects they have not done well,

20、so that theyll make much improvement in their work. As far as examinees are concerned, they can not only know how they have studied but also find out what they still dont know or what they havent mastered well. Thus they will be inspired to greater efforts to improve their studying method so as to m

21、ake greater progress. Of course too many examinations are burdens to both examiners and examinees.In summary, the examination does more good than harm for both examiners and examinees. We must take a positive attitude towards examination. We should take full advantage of it and avoid its disadvantag

22、es.We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a persons knowledge and ability remain as old as ever. Examinations may be a good way of testing memory and cleverness of work rapidly under pressure. They can, however, tell you little about a persons abilit

23、y. Because they are the marks of success and failure, examinations are nothing but anxiety-makers. Your whole future may be decided on one fateful day. It doesnt matter whether you were ill or not.What is more, teachers judgments may sometimes be unfair, for they may get tired and make mistakes. We

24、are looking forward to a simpler and more effective way of judging a persons true ability.In short, examinations motivate passive memorizing instead of creative thinking.The examination system has come to be the main theme of modern education. One should take an examination and succeed in passing it

25、 before he could be admitted, promoted or graduated.As it plays so important a role in the realm of education, it is subject to much criticism as to its validity. People who are in favor of it elaborate this system to a great extent while those who denounce it maintain that such a system should be a

26、bolished. Should examination be abolished? In my opinion it should be. Many people think that an examination is the only means to measure knowledge, but, in fact, that is not true. A few questions given in examination could by no means cover the whole field or scope of the subject. Thus those who ar

27、e able to answer them may be the poorest of the students and yet happen to know just a few points about that subject. And so they are entitled to be called successful students.I wish further to say that, because of the existence of the examination system students pay so much attention to high marks,

28、 that they often forget the chief purpose of education. The so-called clever students devote themselves to the study of textbooks only. They, of course, know nothing but the skeleton of knowledge. The end and aim of education, however, is to enable students to learn how to live. To do this, the stud

29、ents must avail themselves of all kinds of training, physical as well as mental. The present examination system has discouraged students from making such an attempt.Moreover, since the students try so hard to commit their lessons to memory in as short a time as possible, they soon forget the whole s

30、ubject as soon as the examination is over. Surely this is one of the greatest wastes ever made in the history of civilization.Lastly, in order to get high marks, there is a great temptation for students to cheat in examination. Indeed, such a practice becomes the means to the end. They cheat their t

31、eachers, their parents and also themselves. Such a tendency would impair our moral standards. I am of the opinion, in conclusion, that the examination system should be abolished.5穿校服In the first place, demanding students wearing uniform in school is not good to their psychological health development

32、. What to wear every day is a persons own business, and for children, its the same. So school authorities have no right to deprive their right for choosing clothes. If they do so, they are forcing students to do what they dont like and interfere in students business.The second reason is that wearing

33、 school uniforms is not good for students physical health development. Another consideration is that demanding students wear school uniform increases parents burden, especially comparatively low income parents. If students are permitted to wear other clothes, parents have more choice to choose less expensive clot
