2、rguments about education nowthe viewpoints of elite education. What do you think about this?B: In my opinion, elite education is really necessary. Students can learn more knowledge during the elite education. They will get better grades than normal students on exams. And now many companies tend to p

3、eople who graduated from elite school. So students under elite education may have better opportunities for jobs.C: I dont agree with you. Elite education often be seen as a nice thing.

4、suffer from stress. Then they will be crazy and do worse than normal people.D: I get it and I agree. People always put much wish on the elite students.

5、re excellent.

People under the elite education may do something wrong. So we cant be obsessed with eli

6、te education.B: Most elite people are kind. And they can make friends with other elite people. This can help them go on the road of life more successfully.D: In a word, we must envisage the two sides of elite education. It can bring more halos for people while it can put more stress on people. Dont

7、pay much attention to it but dont ignore it as well.Conversation 2Should elite education be replaced by mass education?A: Educating the man to be perfect is the traditional core of university idea from the classical time. When the elite education is changing to the mass education, it is necessary fo

8、r us to know whether elite education should be replaced by mass education or not.B: Yeah, I agree with you that we should know something about them. If the enrollment rate of school-age population is below 15%, the education is called elite education. While the enrollment rate of school-age populati

9、on is between 15% and 45%, the education is called mass education. Elite education specially emphasizes on intelligence and basic, which is different from mass education.C: In view of some people, universities should only allow good students into their programs. On the one hand, these students value

10、 the importance of a good education and are interested in furthering their education. On the other hand, the world development mode has justified that elite education is an inevitable choice universities have had to make.D: Every coin has two sides. It is true to elite education. The first disadvant

11、age of an elite education is that it makes you incapable of talking to people who arent like you. The second disadvantage is that an elite education inculcates a false sense of self-worth. One of the great errors of elite education is that it teaches you to think that measures of intelligence and ac

12、ademic achievement are measures of value in some moral or metaphysical sense. But theyre not.A: That is true. For example, Graduates of elite schools are not more valuable than stupid people, or talentless people, or even lazy people. Compared with elite education, mass education is more suitable fo

13、r China.B: From elite education to mass education, people at all levels of society can go to colleges, which broaden the range of education. The number of colleges is much more than ever.C: From elite education to mass education the whole level of education has been greatly improved. In economic asp

14、ects, mass education has developed a lot of different levels of high-quality people, which have a great influence on every industry and lead the development of the economy. Conversation 3There is no doubt that college education has cultivated many successful people in all fields, and contributed a l

15、ot to the development of human civilization. Do you agree that the purpose for education is for careers?A: Recently, more and more parents want to their children admitted by famous college, therefore, it will be easier for their children to find a good job after graduation. Do you agree that the pur

16、pose for education is for careers?B: This question has no easy answer. Of course, that is not the impression you get from the 500-million-a-year college-admissions industry, with its magazine rankings, test prep courses, and guide books.C: However, many neurotic boomer parents-and their stressed-out

17、, resume-building teenagers-assume that it is always better to choose Harvard over Big State U. Because of Harvards presumably superior educational environment, better alumni connections, and more lucrative on-campus recruiting opportunities.D: Not exactly. Mr. White has ever said, “In education we

18、are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life.” On the one hand, it will take a huge and long-time effort for children to obtain an elite education. Of course it can be just for getting a job.A: Yes, I agree with you. On the other hand, the government has put a lot of people,

19、money and resources to set up a famous college and cultivate an elite student. I do believe our government wants these students to achieve their self-worth and pursuit the poetry and the distance. So, elite education absolutely is just for careers.B: Perhaps you are right. However there are still a

20、lot of people think that if they can be admitted to famous college, they can find a good job. The reason why they tends to think like that is more and more enterprise are attach much importance to interviewers degree.C: There is nothing wrong that enterprise attach importance to education. Of course

21、 they want to recruit qualified stuffs. As for my perspectives, those students who get elite education should make better use of what they have learned. This is what elite education really worth.D: Yes. What elite education really wants is to cultivate students to be beneficial for our country and t

22、he whole society. We should explore our huge potential rather than on the surface of the learning.Conversation 4There are many sayings about education and job, such as “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.” Please comment on it an

23、d introduce the relationship between education and job.A: There is an old saying in China going that “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.” What do you think of it?B: In my opinion, its a very meanful saying. We can find the deep

24、meaning of the sentence is to tell people to teach others the way to do something rather than give him the things he needs.C: Yes, the purpose of education is to teach a student how to live his life by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality. He has to be taught to think, to under

25、stand, to integrate, to prove. He has to be taught the essentials of the knowledge discovered in the past and he has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge by his own efforts.D: What I think is that the saying should be considered in two aspects. As a giver who gives another man a fish, such as

26、 a teacher or an educator, he should know what is truly important to his students and know how to teach them rather than inculcate knowledge to his students.A: Yes, not only giver but also receiver should be considered. As a student, we are receivers of knowledge. What should we do? We should realiz

27、e that we should try to study whatever things we can do ourselves and do them. What do you think of the relationship between education and job?B: Its always better to choose a prestigious college because of their presumably superior educational environment, better alumni connection, and more lucrati

28、ve on-campus recruiting opportunities. And in the future, they will have a big chance to find a good job.C: Yes, I agree with you. There is no doubt that college education has cultivated many successful people in all field, and contributed a lot to the development of human civilization. Its true tha

29、t if you want a good job, a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct advantage.D: As we all know, lead elite schools like Harvard, Stanford or Dartmouth enable graduates to get the highest paying jobs after school and put them on track to becoming CEOs. Then again, theres plenty of anecdotal evidence that a

30、n elite education is hardly necessary. Hard-working is the only key will help you open the door of success.Unit 7Conversation 1 Do you still watch cartoons now?A: My favorite cartoon “Naruto is about to end, maybe I will rarely watch cartoons later. Do you like to see cartoons now?B: I prefer to wat

31、ch animated movie, such as Frozen .I like this type of film especially Disney movies, and I still remember some classic animated movies. So which animated movie impressed you most?C: The Lion King, it has won numerous praises from both critics and audience all over the world for decades. Of course,

32、its success is not just like that. It is the only cartoon ranked top ten on the film box office, and also the most glorious milestone in Disneys history of animated feature film.D: This movie is really nice, I still remember the words. The past can hurt. You can either run from it or learn from it. It told us to cope with the setbacks in our lives.A:I often see anime which have great paintings and wonderful dub, such as Doraemon, I think it represent parts of our childhood. However, some American comic animations is also great, for example , Tom and Jerry ,which is really
