1、Topic：The main purpose of public libraries is to provide books and they shouldn’t waste their limited resources and space on providing expensive hi-tech media such as computer software, videos and DVDs.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
With the advent of new technology, libraries have been given new means of storing and retrieving information on media by the age digital devices are widely used in public libraries and they serve both the library and the readers.
Someone would argue that multimedia facilities are expensive. This may be true to some extent，because a DVD player is often more expensive than a bookshelf. However，with immense storage capacity，these new high-tech media can actually save the most valuable resource-space. A computer disc 12 cm in diameter can store a whole Encyclopedia Britannia which，in printed volumes，would occupy a complete shelf section.
Furthermore，magnetic and digital media can store information much longer than traditional means. It takes great care to protect books from moisture，fire or human damage and a book in a library serves readers for only a few hundred years. But digital files, easily duplicated and restored，can perhaps last forever.
Finally，visiting a library with multiple media access is much more interesting. Multimedia resources offer readers a dynamic combination of images, sounds and videos.
A reader can actually hear Martin Luther King crying out “I have a dream”,or roam about the world with an interactive atlas.
To sum up, a public library has been turned by modern technology from a place of lending and borrowing books into an interactive center for the spread of human knowledge and experience. Governments can invest more in multimedia facilities by a public library。
2、Many parents complain that computer games have no value to their children’s studies. On their mental and physical development. What is your opinion?
In present age society, computers have been playing an increasing important role in people’s life such as working, studying, entertainment. computer games attract numerous kids, however, in my opinion，these games have little value to them and produce a lot of harmful effects on their physical and mental development.
To begin with, intense radiation produced by an operating computer not only causes failing eyesight but also poses untold hidden health hazards in those young children. Another of the most obvious disadvantages is that these games are highly addictive, compelling children to sit in front of the computer for many straight hours. As a result, they have little time for sports activities and many of them start developing health problems. According to a recent survey, the obesity rate among adolescent aged between13 and19 is soaring in industrialized nations as well as in less developed countries, and one of the contributing factors is the lack of physical exercise.
For one thing, an increasing amount of time spent in playing games means less and less time is devoted to their studies. No wonder that teenagers having this undesirable habit are finding it difficult to meet the deadlines of their school assignment. For another，being accustomed to the fast changing images that are inherent in every computer games， they can hardly concentrate on any serious subject and their attention span is found to be increasingly short. Moreover，teenagers are exposed to sexual and violent scenes featured in many computer games.
To conclude，computer games are indeed valueless and may exert negative impacts on the development of young children. Therefore, it is high time that parent and schools should be alert to the problem, and restrict children’s access to those games, only by which we can keep them on the correct developing way.
3、Topic: some people think computer and the Internet are important in children’s study ,but others think students can learn more effectively in school and with teachers.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
In present society，high-tech have been play an increasing vital role in people’s life, even in children’s study . However, this phenomenon has sparked many debates.
A majority of them think more time should be spent with teachers by children. As far as I concerned, while modern technologies are important in assisting a child’s learning, this learning should be guided and directed by the experience of teachers.
A traditional and long-established practice is for children to study and gain knowledge at school, learning skills in various ways taught by traditional methods.
A school is a place where students gather to be educated and learn from each other as well as formal educators. At school, students’development is orchestrated stage by stage ,step-by-step by experienced teachers, and their acquisition of knowledge is guided and backed up in a systematic way.
Admittedly, there is no denying the fact that computer and the Internet are popularly used in the field of education；they can present knowledge in a vivid and novel way. Computer and the Internet can also enable students in enhancing their general understanding of how to solve difficulties in study as well as giving them vital skills in readiness for later life.
To sum up ,I don’t think overemphasizing the use of computers and Internet is wise .Instead, modern technologies should complement more traditional teaching and learning methods. Only when they are not regarded as a replacement for traditional means，can their functions be developed to the utmost。
Topic: Computers are increasingly used in education. In which areas do you think are computers more important and in which areas are teachers more important?
In present age society, computers have been playing an increasingly significant role in many areas of life, such as communication, management and science. People doubt that it is also the same situation for education. In my opinion, at a simple level some subjects may be better taught using computers, but to explain important concepts a human teacher is still indispensable.
There are some subjects in which a computer can be used successfully to teach. Elementary mathematics, elementary language learning and any area which requires a student to memories basic facts through repetition is well suited to computer learning. The computer can be programmed to provide an endless number of simple questions, and as the student answers these questions the facts are learned and reinforced.
However, in the learning and practice of more complex ideas, the computer is not adequate. A computer can evaluate an answer as right or wrong, but it cannot determine why. It cannot find out why a student is making mistakes and then represent important concepts in a different way so the student will understand. It cannot determine at what stage in a mathematics problem the student has made an error; it can only indicate that the final answer is wrong. Tasks involving reasoning cannot be taught by computers, as there are too many variables that a computer can’t deal with successfully. In all these cases, a human teacher seems indispensable in class.
To sum up, computers are not as a tool. Maybe in the future, with the advent of more new technology, human teachers will be replaced. However, they are indispensable now.
Topic：Some people believe that all the children in school are required to learn at least one foreign language. However, others say that those who are not talented do not have to learn. What is your opinion?
In this society with all kinds of development and competition，communication seems to be an vital factor to fulfill one’s life. Thus, some people think it’s necessary for all the students to learn at least one foreign language. While other’s opinion run contrary to theirs. I don’t think a foreign language should be a compulsory course for children to study, for the reason that some of them may not have no interest at all, but not they don’t have the gift to learn.
The study of a foreign language-especially English for children at Grade 1-is now a compulsory requirement at all primary schools in Shanghai. With increased globalization, comes increased cross-cultural contact and because of this, it is important for children to master at least one foreign language at an early age so as to important prepare them for this global society. To understand a foreign language is also an opportunity for children to learn about, and to understand a little about another culture or cultures. Also, it is an opportunity to cultivate students’ talent, develop their ability in learning and boost their potential for further education.
It is irresponsible, and indeed, even harmful, to separate and label students as talented or not in education at such a tender and vulnerable age. Why should the study of a foreign language alone be used as the only yardstick to label students as talented or not in education? It is advisable to help all students to understand that the study of a foreign language will bring benefit to their studies and, in the future, their careers.
To sum up, I think it is necessary to make students understand the importance of another language and interest them to learn. But labeling of students as talented or not in the study of languages is not healthy。
In some countries, secondary schools aim to provide a general education across a wide range of subjects. In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. For today’s world, which system is appropriate?
It has always been a controversial issue over whether general education or specific education is deemed more suitable for children. Even though some people argue that the latter alternative could prepare students better for future employment, I firmly believe that schools provide a general education.
It’s an undeniable fact that children would be much better off is they have access to abundant knowledge in a diverse range of fields. this is necessary for them too deal with a multitude of problems they might encounter in they daily life .for instance , simple mathematical calculations would come to the rescue in case of totaling up the bill ; fundamental knowledge of chemical terms would be of huge assistance if you are picking up prescriptions or drugs in a pharmaceutical store ; malfunctioning electrical appliances due to ignorance of basic knowledge of basic knowledge of electricity could be quite unsettling ; current affairs including momentous events happening in spheres of economy or politics around the globe are often considered good conversation-openers in occasions of social mingling or business dinner .
As children grow up, specific education on teaching one or two particular subjects are thought also useful for them. The jobs available nowadays increasingly demand job seekers with one particular skill. It’s sensible to place students on a more focused education once they reach the phase of secondary education.
However, the general education can board individual’s horizons and expand the knowledge, which are common sense of life.
In conclusion, I think general education should be provided more.
Some teachers say students should be organized into groups to study, while others argue that students should be made to study alone
Tell the benefits of each study method. Which one do you think is more effective?
With the development of the society, Students are provided better circumstance to study. Whether they should be divided into groups has sparked much debate. In my opinion, study together is more effective.
Group study is strongly advocated by some because it requires the sharing of ideas amongst group members. During group study, students listen to what they fellow students say debate with them is there is a disagreement. Naturally, their communication skills and critical thinking abilities are greatly enhanced. Moreover, peer pressure can be a positive force which can motivate and challenge the students to do their best. The competitive learning environment also prepares the students for the future reality.
However, study alone also offers some unique benefits to the students. First of all, the individual leaner is kept away from the distracting conversation or unnecessary interruptions in a classroom with many students. Then they can concentrate well and make more efficient use of their time. Also, the individual learner can pace his or her own learning and decide for himself/herself when to start or when to stop. This is especially helpful to those intellectually gifted students those may be bored with regular but simple classroom teaching.
To conclude, although every individuals has his own preferable way to study, group study is suitable to the majority. If the leaner shares what he knows……
In modem society, many people think primary schools should teach science and technology rather than history and geography, which are useless and boring.
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
If knowledge must be divided to two groups, there will be science and art. The issue of which is more important has been causing heated debate for many years.
The topic statement clearly plays favorite with sciences while belitting liberal arts, which, in my opinion, is biased and misleading, and may also cause negative influence among the students.
However, those people who advocate that only science and technology subjects should be taught at school are ignorant of. They fail to understand the relationships between different subjects and their mutual overlap; they only see the individual trees in the forest, rather than the forest as a whole. A student can not learn science well without a basic knowledge of human evolution and scientific history. In order to learn technology well, a student must from the very basics of geography that deals with the interaction of the diverse physical, biologic and cultural features of the earth’s surface.
To conclude, anyone who regards one more important than the other is not fully aware of the definition of knowledge. In primary schools, there shouldn’ be any prejudice at all towards a series of subjects offered.
In many countries, good school and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think universities graduates who become new teachers and doctors should work in rural areas for a few years. What is your view?
A major gap still exists between educational and medical facilities in the urban and rural areas. Having seen this, some people suggest that new teachers and doctors work in the rural area for a period. I do not think this is practical suggestion.
I would agree that sending new educator and doctors who just graduate from university to the rural area may help them to develop a strong sense of obligation. At least some of they of they will feel it is a pity that the rural residents have suffered from poor teaching and medical service
In addition to that, experience with poor living and working condition can mould fresh graduates’ character and make them tougher than before.
However the problem with sending university graduates to rural areas can be more overwhelming. The first of all when they are forced to work in poor areas many of them will feel very frustrated. Even if they can finally get used to the underdeveloped facilities there, they will find it almost impossible to readapt to the life in cities when they come back. In the second place as they return to cities and have difficulty operating the teaching or medical equipment in cities much pressure will also be left, which is more advanced and harder to use.
In term of their career, these teachers and doctors may think of themselves as complete failure because they may be unable to keep up with their colleagues after spending some time in the rural area.
Therefore, I would argue that individuals’ own choice should be respected when they are asked to work in a place that is entirely different from their own.
Children who grow up in needy families are better prepared to deal with problems in their adult life than children who are brought up in wealthy parents. Do you agree or disagree?
Many needy parents are concerned that poverty will hold children back in their academic and professional development. However, I believe children raised in their families may actually have some advantages that rich parents cannot give their offspring.
Children raised in poor households have stronger self-control because they have learned from their childhood experience that things do not come easily. They have to save up their allowance for expensive things they want to buy so when they become adults, they will be more patient and can wait for months or even years before their needs are satisfied. It seems to me this strong self-discipline will be a significant element of success.
Also, to these kids, the ability to make good use of limited resource is a necessity. They do not waste on parties or buying clothes they only wear once or twice a year so they become better at managing resources an important quality for achieving success when they become adults.
Further, children who grow up in poor families are generally more independent and more hardworking than children brought up by affluent parents. Due to their parents’limited incomes, these children have learned at a very young age to depend on themselves in making toys, cleaning up their rooms and cooking meals for themselves. These experiences make them better at handling difficult situations and solving problems by themselves, which will be very helpful career success in the future.
To conclude, growing up in poor families may be in fact an advantage in terms of children’s development because it helps to cultivate some qualities that adult success requires.
Some people think students should take courses that are decided by the government .others think students should be allowed to focus on subjects that they prefer. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Education has been viewed as one of the most essential element of individual and social development .one topic now under debate is who should make the decisions on what students study.
Academically, students will gain benefits if the curriculum can be devised by the government .learners need foundations before they acquire more advanced knowledge. Without opportunities to learn the basics, students would find it difficult to further their studies or lose interest in their studies altogether.
In terms of meeting the demand of the job market, it would be more efficient if the government plan and arrange the courses for school and universities . Student’
s own selections of courses may be random. Most of them do not really know what the job market expects from them, so some guidance from the government is a necessity.
However, this does not mean that the official curriculum is always productive .Educations should be aware of the fact that individuals have different characters and abilities. If all the students in a certain field take the same courses , their potential may not be fully developed .Accordingly, many talented students may feel frustrated with learning and the nation will not get the talent it needs for its advancement.
My own opinion is that students in primary and secondary schools should take courses that the governments choose for them because they do not really have the capacity to find out courses that will serve their purposes .On the university level, though, students should be allowed to participate in the decision-making process of designing the curriculum as only in this way can their academic potential be fully explored.
Some people think intelligent students should be educated together with other students. Do you agree or disagree?
It is not uncommon for talented students to get admitted to gifted programs. On the other hand, letting talented students take special courses make sense to some extent. They need a more challenging curriculum as they are fast learners and their leaning process requires little repetition of the information that has been taught by the teacher. If they find the curriculum too easy for them to handle, these intelligent children will end up learning little or nothing at all. As a matter of facts, many students who are inattentive in class are intelligent ones. Regular courses simply fail to attract their attention.
What’s more, intelligent students also feel more comfortable if there are separate classes for them. they would feel isolated and become oversensitive if they spent all their class time with their ordinary peers. This is often true because smart children not only have different learning patterns, their communication patterns tend to be different from those of the ordinary students as well.
On the other hand, it should be pointed out that segregating intelligent student from their peers is not without its own downside. Some educators believe such classes will be drained of student leaders and role models. Segregation on the basis of IQ may even send a message to those who take regular courses that their work is not as valued as the intelligent students’, which will lower the average students’ self-esteem.
I would suggest that gifted students spend their class time with their peers. But in addition to that, they should be encouraged to take electives that challenge them mentally.
University students should pay all the cost of their studies because university education benefits individuals more than society as a whole. To what extent do you or disagree with this opinion?
Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate become more useful adults. Discuss both views and give your own opinion..
Nowadays，purpose of education being changed. There are some people who think believe that competition in children should be made. Others believe that children who are taught to be cooperate as well as become more useful adults. There are and disadvantages for both of the arguments.
To begin with，what is good if a sense of competition in children is made? They can develop themselves more and more as they learn and a lot of to win from the competition.
To prove this, in my county it is popular and common to have a tutor who come to students’house to teach extra piece of study with paying a lot of money. They learn faster than what they learn at school Furthermore, during the vacation, students study at abroad to learn English for a month. If they have experiments such as study abroad, it is one of the greatest plus point to go to the famous well-known high school.
Moreover, there are four big school exam to students’ level of studies. Generally, only the highest 40% can go to the good quality high schools and colleges. Children learn as much as they can, to win the competition to obtain good quality schools. On the other hand, as they are busy to enter the schools and study with their own
tutors, there are problems. They become selfish. They become careless and don’t help others a lot if it is about studies. There will be no cooperation for them. Then , why are there companies for many people to work in? Each of them are clever, however, there are weak parts and strong parts for each person. To cooperate is to improve this part. People talk and listen to what others thinking of and learn. That can also be a great opportunity to learn instead of learning alone with one teacher.
In conclusion, I strongly agree with that children should be taught to cooperate rather than compete. Nobody is perfect. People learn together, work together to help each other .I want parents and teachers to educate children concentrating on cooperation, not compete and ranking them.
Some people believe that children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used to do more school work. To what extend do you agree?
To a large extend, I believe that children are given too much free time.
Free time, in my opinion, refers to time not spent under the direct supervision of a parent, teacher or a person entrusted with the responsibility of bring up the child. Such time is often spent on several things such as watching television, playing with friends, going to parties, doing home work, playing games on their own among others.
Among all of the above, a child could either be influenced by his or her peer group especially when left without attention or be influenced by what he or she watches on TV most of which are those are those not meant to be viewed by the child’s age group.
In my opinion, most of the formative years of a child should be spent doing school work, engaging in recreational activities that would develop the child emotionally and mentally. I believe this strongly because at a young age, a child is quick to grasp most of what is seen or heard.
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree?
In my opinion, young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day.
First of all, sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.
In the second place, the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the “hero” of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centered and too much and insensitive to others.
Last out not least, Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing experiences is an important part of a child’s development that cannot be provided by a computer.
However, the obvious benefits of computer skill for young children cannot de denied. It is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.
The advantage of computer knowledge for young students cannot be denied. Parents must ensure that their children learn other kinds of activity.

Some people believe that children’s leisure activities must be educational, otherwise they are a complete waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?
In present age society, education are paid more attention than before. Whether children’s leisure activities must be educational has sparked much debate. In my opinion, students need to study as well as relax.
To start with, some parents believe that if their children apply themselves and work hard at school, then they will increase their opportunities for going to higher education and eventually getting a good job. To some extent, they are right, and as access to the best education and best jobs is becoming more competitive, it is true that children have to make the best of their study time when they are young.
However, the parents who do not allow their children sufficient free time for leisure activities outside school hours, are misguided. Such activities are far from being a waste of time for the children simply because they are not academic. It is important to remember that children need to develop skills other than intellectual ones, and the best way to do this is through activities such as sports, games and playing with other kids.
Many children form strong personal relationships with the friends they play with, and without the opportunity to do this, they also could grow up emotionally immature. As a result, parents should have a clear recognition that what is is the most important to their children--- the best opportunity of education and work, or a full development of both mental and physical.
In conclusion, if everything for children to do must have some educational or academic
relevance, they will be readily to be bored with studying, which is the last thing parents want to see.
P61
Some people think rote learning (memorization of information through frequent repetition) is not useful for school today. To what extend do you agree or disagree? For years, educators have been complaining about the adverse effects that the traditional technique of rote memorization has exerted on schooling.
Daycare and kindergarten and lower-elementary students are far better at remembering data than at comprehending concepts and theories. So as a learning process, merely committing information to memory through repetition would be more realistic and more efficient for children in this age group than understanding abstractions at such a young age.
Even for upper-elementary, Secondary school students and university undergraduates whose main task is to develop a more independent mind, rote learning also carries certain benefits. For instance, the grammatical points in language learning, historical and geographic facts as well as physical and chemical equations all require certain amounts of rote memorization before they can be actively applied by the students.
Admittedly, once young students acquire the data they need, they tend to stop there if they are not encouraged to analyze this data.
In my opinion, I believe rote learning still holds certain unique advantages, which mainly have to do with practicality.
However, rote learning can be beneficial when it is not regarded as end in itself, but as the process of laying the groundwork for the subsequent acquisition of conceptual knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills.

Topics of Task 2 （2008～2009.11.21) 一、教育（共25题，占%） 1. In countries where there is a high rate of unemployment, most pupils should be offered only primary education. There is no point in offering secondary education to those who have no hope of finding a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? (08.01.26) 不同意： 中学教育是一个重要的德育阶段，如果在这个时候中断，带来的不仅仅是失业这样的问题，还有青少年犯罪等社会问题vital stage for moral education. If it was interrupted, numerous of social problems/headaches may create as juvenile delinquency. (正如马克吐温说：你每关闭一所学校，你就必须开设一座监狱。Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail ） 教育能够帮助培养个人素质；提高劳动力的素质，从而提高生产效率，推动社会发展，从根本上解决失业的问题。do a favor to/be beneficial（advantageous, preferable) to personal quality, enhance/boost/promote the quality of the labor force, thereby increase production efficiency, social development, solve the problem of unemployment 从长远来看，如果受过更高的教育，则有更多的机会找到好的工作。In a long run／term, if pupils could receive better education, they may have far more opportunities to find better jobs. 教育的作用不仅仅应当局限在找工作，而是为了将来更好的发展。The function of education should be not only focused on \limited in job hunting, but also for a better development. ＊＊失业的原因是综合的comprehensive/complicated，例如经济原因：经济衰退或者不景气economy recession/depression，就业岗位剧减，导致市场对于劳动力的需求整体下降 a fall in the overall demand for labor;社会原因，个人原因等 2.

Any sport will have a positive effect on academic performance simply because exercise is good for the brain, and teamwork and strategy that are focal to most sports are applicable as well to many academic areas. 理论科目的坏处：枯燥、单调、需要长时间的学习、结合实践时较为困难 体育、音乐的坏处：需要天赋；需要大量时间和金钱的投入；就业范围小，职业生涯短 3.

最近考试高频的十八个写作话题思路分析与素材汇总！只有7页，共18个话题，中英双语结合给出了关键思路和素材，给出了关键的高分词汇与表达！老是在考试时理不清思路、想不出素材的同学，看了一定会有帮助的！大家加油加油！ ----------------------------------------------我是分割线--------------------------------------------------- 一、跳槽的原因及解决办法 1、相关词汇： fierce competition heavy pressure job-hopping is looked upon to move upward quickly keep skill fresh and up to date acclimatize themselves to the rapidly changing society 2、原因： （1）社会压力大，人们的竞争意识增强，不断改变以适应社会的变化。 （2）处于个人发展的需要，寻求升职，更新知识。 （3）金钱的诱惑，不在乎在哪儿工作，做什么职业，只要挣钱多。 （4）家庭原因，spouse工作地点改变或孩子去其他地方上学。 3、解决方法： （1）要理性看待，一般来说，stability equals success。
（2）chronic job-hopper将被questioned integrity and loyalty ，not reliable。 （3）政府和mass media应该鼓励人们扎根一个地方，扎扎实实干事业，并且尽可能提高welfare，改善城市和community的环境，留住人才。 （4）公司应该提高工资待遇，给employee创造一个良好的工作环境，在保证企业利润的同时要考虑员工个人发展，增加培训，扩充员工的知识。 二、大学是否应该根据就业教授学生知识，大学的主要功能是什么 平衡写： 1、认为应该提供实际知识的： （1）大学生毕业就要找工作，因此要培养学生掌握future job的技能。 （2）有人甚至声称理论没用，不是每个大学生都要做科学家。 2、反对方： （1）It will definitely be shortsighted to…目光短浅理论知识非常重要，理论指导实践，大学的职责不仅是教会学生一门技术，更重要的是教授一种方法。 （2）不学理论只学实际知识，会使学生变成utilitarian，narrow-minded，lack of imagination，如果学生要学的只是生存的技能，那就去vocational school。 3、总结 总之，我认为大学的功能是versatile的，促进学生all-around development，培养学生具有creative mind in some special field，而不只是教授该领域的实际知识，可以通过一些part-time job来获得。 三、个人不能对环境保护做不了什么，同意不同意 This is just an excuse for the ignorance of environmental protection. 1、分析环境恶化原因是缺乏环保意识。 2、给出解决办法。 四、维持博物馆是否是浪费金钱？ 1、提出自己的观点（反对）。 政府应该spend a lot of money to enrich the collection of museums to cater for different tastes or needs of different people．有的人认为是浪费钱，我认为是很有必要的。 2、博物馆很重要（博物馆的作用）。 （1）illuminate the culture，history and arts of the world. 比如，世界上最大的British Museum provide visitors with all-round knowledge about the world culture and arts,collections in it trace the development of civilization throughout the history of mankind. Definitely a heartquake！ （2）shoulder the responsibility to preserve and carry forward a country‘s traditional culture. （3）serve as a significant mean of adolescent education,benefit both the present and future generation. 教育学生什么是美，purify their heart，也可以作为第二课堂，提供教学参考
积累雅思大作文教育 类话题
积累雅思大作文教育类话题 朗阁雅思考试研究中心 这篇文章主要探讨大学教育学费应该由谁来支付的问题。这个话题其实是模凌两可的，两方面观点都可以展开去说，并不像之前的题目那样有个明显的倾向性。所以，这对于考生来说并不是一个太难的题目，正反两方面内容，分论点，论据都比较充足。 ?学校的责任与重点 ?Some people say university students should pay for their tuition fees. Some other say the government should pay for the tuition fees. What is your opinion? 在回答这个题目的时候，考生需要注意以下几点：1. 不要用现实社会现状来当做理由和论据。可能很多学生会说现在全世界大多数国家的大学学费是需要学生来支付的，这其中必有道理。其实，这个题目的目的就是让考生去表达出自己的想法，然后加以证明即可。2. 不要纠结government. 根据朗阁雅思考试研究中心专家们的经验，很多考生可能都会说到学费可以由大学拉赞助，以奖学金的形式支付给学生。这里考生把重点放到了政府和学生之外的第三方。这种讨论并没有错，只是有一些非常规，不太符合雅思的要求。一般的雅思话题都有两个完全的对立面。如果考生认为应该由第三方来解决的话，那么可以把这一条放在最后的结尾，当成一个建议来说，而不是放到主体段，否则会干扰考生的观点。3. 很多学生会想到很多贫穷的家庭付不起学费这个观点。这个观点看
起来似乎合情合理，但其实不然。因为学生负担不起并不代表政府就有义务来支付。如果按照这个逻辑，那很多家庭买不起车，政府难道还要帮每个家庭买车吗？所以，这个论证的关键在于强调教育是基本权利的问题。 Pros: (Government) ?政府有责任和义务来支付学生的学费。教育是学生的基本权利，不应该有人因为金钱问题，支付不起学费而被剥夺接受教育的权利。无论如何，政府最重要的职责都是带动社会发展与推进。在现今社会，科技逐渐成为一个国家经济，社会发展的重要推动力。如何能够掌握这些先进科学技术知识就成为了政府职责的重中之重。显然，培养各个领域的人才是掌握这些科技的重要手段和方法。所以，向大 众提供教育，从而让学生以后能够成为社会的重要人才就成为了政府的基本责 任。 ?现在的教育费用已经变的非常昂贵。在中国，一所公立大学一年的学费将近一万元，而在一些私立大学，这个数字可能会涨到两到三万元，这相当于很多家庭一年的收入。对于很多贫穷的家庭来说，他们根本没有能力来支付这笔费用。因为没有钱而剥夺学生接受教育的权利是不公平的。因为对于这部分人群来说，让孩 子接受高等教育，掌握先进的专业知识，从而找到更好的工作是他们脱贫致富的唯一途径。如果孩子们无法接受教育，那这种一代比一代更穷的情况就会形成恶性循环从而持续下去。 ?很多孩子可能会对某一个方面很有天赋。如果他们无法接受教育，那么他们这方面的天赋就无法发挥，这对于国家来说也是一种损失。可能社会就会因此失去了一个比尔盖茨，或者是乔布斯。其实，大学学费贵，让政府来支付的话，固然是一个负担，但是政府可以将其视为一种投资，学生以后到社会上为社会发展做出贡献，也是对于政府投入的一种回报。 Cons: ?对于政府来说，支付所有学生的学费是一笔非常大的费用。政府的资金有限，并且已经有了合理的分配。如果政府将很大一部分资金投入到支付学费这个方面，那么我们的社会必将会面临没有足够的钱去修建更多的道路，去建设更多的医院等
