4、ty than the other languages. Thus how to teach English has aroused an increasing concern in English teaching domain and out. Inevitably, there comes the dispute over whether Chinese should have a role to play in teaching English. From the perspective of a student, I propose an absolutely negative an
5、swer to the question.To begin with, language acquisition demands more than the study of language expression but also understanding of the culture and history behind. It is undeniable that no single language can be one hundred percent fully converted into another language. Therefore, the Chinese equi
6、valents in English teaching frequently suffer ambiguity and loss of original implications. Take “borrow” and“lend” for example, both mean “jie”in Chinese, yet their English definitions are remarkably different. “Borrow” means “take or receive from another person, with his or her permission and under
7、standing that it will be returned after a certain time” and “lend” means “to give the possession or use of something on the condition that it will be returned later”. Without English explanation, an English learner will find it difficult to distinguish the two. So in English classroom, Chinese actua
8、lly impedes learners understanding of English.Furthermore, once a teacher teaches English in Chinese, it is inevitable for him to follow Chinese way of thinking. Thus after being filtered through, the essence of English language lapses when reaching the students at the end. For the students part, th
9、ey are likely to be conditioned to rely on Chinese since their mother tongue is much easier to convey their opinion. In this case, the situation will deteriorate. Studying English via Chinese translation just strengthens the Chinese thinking mode, which partly explains the phenomenon of “Chinglish”.
10、 Only by throwing off the walking stick of Chinese explanation, can students be trained to express themselves in English and think in English. It can be a bit painful in the beginning, but no pains, no gains.From all above, considerable disadvantages can be observed in teaching English in Chinese. A
11、s for us students, the study cannot amount to anything if we still rely on our mother tongue in the course of learning a foreign language. Therefore, I want to call on both teachers and students to use王雅香(学号:20110302206)8With the development of globalization, English as the most widely used language
12、, is becoming more and more important. Therefore, learning English is essential for us Chinese students. When it comes to English learning, there is a heated debate on whether Chinese should be used in English class. Some teachers think that we ought to refuse Chinese in English class, but others co
13、ntend that Chinese language should have a role to play. From the perspective of a student, I agree with the former one.To begin with, speaking English helps us form a way of English thinking. When learning a second language, we should not pay attention only to vocabularies and expressions. Whats mor
14、e significant is to think as native English speakers do. Its obvious that if we use Chinese in English class, we will still think in a Chinese mode. Thus wed better use English only when having English classes, because it is an efficient way to soak ourselves in English.Besides, English class gives
15、us an opportunity to practise what we have learned. Why would I say this? Nowadays, there are plenty of distractions in students daily life, such as TV dramas, computer games and even mobile phones, which are all time-consuming. However, time is limited. For those who are not self-controlled, time l
16、eft for study is very little. Thats why we should make full use of English classes. As the famous saying goes, Practice makes perfect, we should not waste any chance to improve our English.Finally, to use English in class makes us more confident. As we all know, its not easy for us students to use E
17、nglish correctly. Nevertheless, it does benefit us, especially speaking English in front of the teacher and other students. When asked to answer a question, we inevitably become nervous, but whether the answer is right or wrong is not the most important thing. What matters is our endeavor to express
18、 our ideas in English. Theres no doubt that next time when we stand answering a question, we will definitely be more confident. And once we have confidence, we can perform better in English. Thats a positive cycle.Considering the above mentioned, I think using Chinese in English class is beneficial
19、to students. Immersed in English, we can learn more efficiently. And what we gain are more words and grammar. We also inhabit a way of English thinking. Therefore, we should use English as much as possible if we are eager to learn this second language well.414倪嘉璘(学号:20110304419)88In todays society,
20、English becomes one of the main international languages and the most widely used language in the world. In China, learning English has become a boom. For us students, English becomes a vital and essential course. Then the question whether we should say Chinese in English classes has caused wide publ
21、ic concern. Some teachers argue that no Chinese should be used in English classes while others contend that Chinese language should have a role to play. In my opinion, we must insist on saying no Chinese in English classes.On the one hand, learning English needs a good atmosphere, where we are able
22、to be adaptive, and we can focus on our language learning seriously. In English learning, inevitably, we will have some words we dont know and some statements we cant understand. If because of this, the teacher immediately explain it in Chinese for us, then the students will have no chance to think
23、independently, just simply listening to the teacher, which is difficult for students to make progress. On the other hand, some students who are not interested in English will reliance on native language too much. If teachers talking in Chinese, they will only listen to Chinese customary interpretati
24、on and ignore the interpretation of English, which doesnt make any sense to their English study.Last but not least, in English learning, listening and speaking are very important for us. The two parts are weak links of many students. If we want to improve our English, the improvement of listening an
25、d speaking is extremely necessary. Therefore, that teachers always speak English in classes can improve students English listening, at the same time, that students often use English to answer questions will improve their spoken English, which is of great help to English learning.When we learn Englis
26、h at first, we will feel very difficult and painful, however, language learning requires constant accumulation and persistence. If we can hold on, English learning will become more and more interesting. Relying on the mother tongue to learn English is a kind of lazy and pointless habit, we have to s
27、lam the door. All in all, I insist on the view that no Chinese should be used in English classes.Topic 2 355800Recently, many colleges ask their students to evaluate their teachers. Do you agree or disagree?Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view, using specific reasons and example
28、s to support your ideas.In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details.

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.赵敏(学号:20110304422) 88In our contemporary society, teachers usually have a chance to evaluate their students. Now the
30、 situation has changed. Students have an access to evaluate the work of their teachers. The hot discussion whether teachers should be evaluated by students has been of great concern. Different people have different opinions. As far as I am concerned, I prefer to say yes to this act because teachers
31、can acquire something from their disadvantages/their students comment and improve their quality of teaching through this way.First and foremost, for teachers, it is a kind of effective mean to motivate them to improve their teaching quality. So teachers need to adjust their teaching continuously up
32、to the expectations of students. Furthermore, it is an effective/easy way to get feedback not only to improve their ability and teaching effect, but also cultivate the teachers sense of competition. So,/Hence, teachers can meet the students learning requirements by constantly learning and constantly improving themselves. Thirdly, students often evaluate teachers by doing some questionnaires, which are questions and selections on paper, ranging from teachers skills to homework arrangement. Teachers can get much useful information from these questionnaires. Whats more, allowing students to
