Arguments for or against sending aged parents to nursing homes
For：
Parents can achieve more care it save time for young couples who go to work all day without energy to look after their parents it proves unemployed man to go to work as caregivers. What our parents need is not to have a comfortable environment. They just want to have a chat with you; they just want to exchange ideas with you; they just want to be with you…No matter how hard the life is! Since it is a society with a high speed, we may have so much time to take care of parents well enough. So it is a good choice to send our parents there to have the worker look after them. They may feel comforted to help relieve their children’s stress. And we should show respect for their choice. The family is becoming smaller and smaller, which means the couple should take care of four parents and a child, and that is a big burden for the young generations. At the nursing home, the old may find a lot of things in common with the people there, and they can share their feelings. And it doesn’t mean that we desert them, we can often visit them and comfort them Aged parents will fell lonely if they stay at home by themselves. However, at the nursing homes, they will have many companions to talk with and to play with.. Some aged parents are in bad health, but their children are busy with their work.. On this condition, it’s a good idea to send them to nursing homes to get better care. For children, if they send their aged parents to nursing homes, they will worry less about their parents, so that they will wok much better.
Against：
1. Cause our parents have done a lot for us when we were still young, and now when we are grown up and have the ability to earn some money , we should try our best to do something for them and let them to live as they like ,enjoy some happy moments before their deaths.
2. I think most aged people don't like the nursing home ,what they need at this time is not good food ,good nursing ,but love and care from their sons and daughters who they put their whole hopes on. We should give them love and look after them, as they did to us when we were young. What’s more, China is a country respect aged parents, we should follow the society's virtue. Young people leave elders alone in nursing homes elderly may have the feeling of being abandoned. I think it is totally wrong to send our parents to the nursing home. Our parents spared no efforts to bring us up, now when they become old; it is our duty to care for them, instead of sending them away.
3. We should not only provide our parents with economic resources, but also we should give them spiritual comfort. And this is the most important since elder peopleare very much afraid of loneliness.
4. Now the environment of the nursing home is not that satisfactory. It may be very dirty, noisy and unorderly in the old peo ple’s house. And the food there might be very bad, not to mention having balanced diets.
5. In the nursing home, there are nearly no young people. Even the workers there are a little old. There is no vigor at all.
6. The ability to adapt to the strange environment is weak. Maybe they have adapted to the familiar family and neighborhood. And they are not willing to change.
7. Influenced by our traditional culture, it is rooted in our mind that it is the happiest thing to have a large family and have their sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters around. If we send them to the nursing home they may feel deserted.
8. It is a regular law that the older we become, the more we feel the need to get together with our family.
9. You may argue that we may have no time and energy to take care of our parents. But I believe as well as we spare no effort, we are sure to find time to accompany our parents and in turn we are relieved to have a wonderful time with them. And this is a perfect way to relax.
10. since we are not so independent as the young in the West, our parents may become used to living with us, so we had better keep our parents with us. Have you remember the song sung in the Spring Festival Evening Show 常回家看看。What our parents need is not to have a comfortable environment. They just want to have a chat with you; they just want to exchange
i deas with you; they just want to be with you…No matter how hard the life is!
11. Some children just send their aged parents to nursing homes, and later care little about their parents ,which makes their parents very sad.
12. For some aged parents, they want to stay with their children every day, then they will fell very happy and satisfied. Therefore, it’s against their will to send them to nursing homes.
13. Some nursing homes are far from satisfactory, and they are not able to bring aged parents happiness Arguments for or against asking pocket money from our parents.
Arguments for or against asking pocket money from our parents
With the development of our modern society, peoples living conditions become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children needs in all-round. One method to solve this contradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money.
For: Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange. Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them tosave time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money. It can enable children to gain the ability to manage money earlier, which is good for their development. Children will be happy if they often get pocket money, and they can buy what they love, which contributes to a happy childhood. We can guide children to use their pocket money properly to make good use of it. Sometimes, children will be happy to do something if they can get pocket money. To them , it’s a good encouragement. We are too young to support ourselves on our own. It is very convenient outside home if we have some packet money with us. It can enable children to gain the ability to manage money earlier, which is good for their development. Children will be happy if they often get pocket money, and they can buy what they love, which contributes to a happy childhood. We can guide children to use their pocket money properly to make good use of it. Sometimes, children will be happy to do something if they can get pocket mone y. To them ,it’s a good encouragement.
Against: Young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents. Some parents cosset(溺爱) their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money. Such conditions will make children become more and more prodigal. Since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines. Our parents make money by working day and night, we should help them to support the family and not just want to ask money for our parents. If we can always get money from our parents , it is easy to develop the bad habit of spending money randomly. We are old enough to support ourselves by getting a part-time job. We should have a proper conception of money. 1,Children are too youny to know how to spend their pocket money. Often, they use the money wrongly, which leads to a big waste.
2 Some children develop a bad habit of comparing themselves with others concerning pocket money, and that’s harmful to them. 3.Some children do a lot of harmful things with pocket money ,such as playing computer games, drinking and so on, which is bad.
Arguments for or against requiring high school students to wear school uniforms
For
（1）The school uniform is a symbol of students. Dressing uniform will help to shape the school's overall image.what’s more, it can enhance the studen ts’ identity ofthe school.
(2) It is important that students pay more attention to their school work than to their clothes. Caring too much about how they dress shouldn't be a big concern for students. If they wear uniforms, they don't have to worry about what they wear.
(3) School uniforms helps to eliminate socio-economical barriers. Many students come from diverse backgrounds; however, inside the walls of the school, economic advantages and disadvantages are no longer obvious.
(4) If students wear uniforms, they will remember that they are students and they will always be reminded of what students should or shouldn't do.
(5) One of the chief benefits of school uniforms is their ability to make schools safer. Studies have shown that they help to reduce gang influences.
Against: (1)School uniforms inhibit students€? individuality. Young people often express th eir feelings through the clothing that they wear. Uniforms will take away this form of expression. Why should school districts try to make everyone look the same?
(2) . A school uniform policy inhibits a student's freedom of choice. Schools teach students that our country is a free one. But when school boards make students wear what they tell them too-- it curtails the students' freedom.
（3）There is the issue of cost. Many parents shop for their children's clothes at used and discount stores. Uniforms can cost more money than these families might be able to afford. Also, these students would need to buy additional clothing to wear after school and on the weekends. That's double the amount of money a family would spend than they would without the uniforms. （4）The another reason I do not enjoy the thought of school uniforms is comfort. Students enjoy wearing comfortable clothing to school. Uniforms are not necessarily comfortable. Also, wearing a uniform might make the student uncomfortable around people outside the school who don't
have to wear a uniform.
(5)Students should wear the uniforms for almost a week.It’s easy for the uniform to ge t dirty and not conducive to personal hygiene.
Arguments for or against the view that one’s fate is a decisive factor in one’s life
For
Reasons for “Yes” Unfortunate fate decides unfortunate life . Such as disabled people , whose starting line is lower than others , may suffer discrimination everywhere . If two persons of the same level apply for one position , it’s no doubt that most bosses prefer the abled person. Poverty is of vital importance to one’s fate which can decide one’s life . For example , if one doesn’t have money to go to school , how can he change his life by knowledge ? Where you are born can decide what life you will own . Students of Beijing and Shanghai can be admitted to famous universities by a lower score while students from Shandong must have a very very high score if you want to go to a key college . People always say that college entrance examination is equal , but from the minute you are born , it has been decided unequal . In ancient times , the children of royalty and high-class officials have higher social positions than average men’s kids . They can escape from the hard life from their birth . In addition ,some people can become millionaires because of a lottery ticket (彩票) ，while some people can suffer from a traffic accident . Aren’t these fates?
Against
Reasons for “No”The disabled can also master their fate , such as Zhang Haidi , Tai Lihua , Sang Lan . As long as one decides to challenge the present situation , he can create a beautiful life . Many wealthy men aren’t bound to have a brilliant background when they were children . However , they create wealth using there own hands . Even though you aren’t born in Beijing or Shanghai , you aren’t admitted to Peking or Tinghua University , you can study hard to earn a better life . Not every person who has a great life is graduated from Peking and Tinghua University , many of them even haven’t gone to college . As the old saying goes: Every road leads to Rome . Not every dynasty could exist for a long time . The farmer can rise up to reverse the government , such as Zhu Yuanzhang . From a monk to a king , is it determined by fate ? It’s created by his own effort . Lottery tickets aren’t only decided by fate , it also nee d your own knowledge , such as football lottery tickets . On the other hand , how many big prizes are got by only one try but not memberous failures ?
Arguments for or against requiring high school students to wear school uniforms
FOR
*Time saving. I didn't have to THINK about what I was going to wear to school. This took the fashion element out of my experience, yes, but it also made the morning less hectic. It completely eliminates fights between children and parents over clothing choices. More importantly, it puts clothing in perspective. It shouldn't be the most important decision a child or teen has to make in the morning. *Money Saving Parents have a lot of financial decision to make.
One of them shouldn't be about how much money they are willing to spend to keep their child up to date with what others are wearing. There's a place for fashion clothing, but is it important to make a fashion statement every day at school? Having a uniform allows children to keep their best clothes for going out, making them appreciate them more; and it allows parents to save money for things that are more important to their child's life. *Equality. Clothing is just one of the many areas in which students are harshly judged by their peers. I was already last to be chosen in gym because of my size. I can't imagine how bad it would be if I was also judged because my parents couldn't afford to buy me designer jeans. Uniforms even the playing field, at least in one aspect of school life. *Focus. I didn't wear my uniform anywhere else but school, so putting it on put my mind in the frame of school. You know how different you feel when you dress up. You sit differently at home when you are in your grungy clothes than when you are wearing your work clothes. You associate different activities with clothes. I remember the first time I saw a parent buying "school clothes" for her child. I couldn't tell the difference between "school clothes" and "play clothes", since the parent was buying a variety of shorts and T-shirts. If I couldn't tell the difference, I'm sure the child couldn't. While children should have fun in school, uniforms provide a subtle reminder that there is something different happening at school than at home or at the park. *Setting Priorities. What do we tell our children when we start them in Kindergarten with designer clothes and shoes? I know that all parents don't fall into the "label" trap, but many do. And, as I've mentioned previously, those who can't afford the "labels" are harshly judged by those who can't. When wearing a "label" becomes a priority, it sets priorities out of whack. What's more important making a fashion statement or getting a good education? I'm not saying that wearing fashion clothing eliminates the possibility of a good education. I'm just saying that putting more time and money into fashion clothing tells children that it is more important than education. What surprises me most with this issue is the number of people who are against uniforms. There is nothing about them that will harm a student - yet students and parents have a lot to gain from them if they only take a moment to consider the benefits. AGAINST
I don't believe that public school students should be required to wear uniforms. There are many problems with enforcing a uniform in public schools, but for the sake of not turning this into a book, I will only name a few.
1. Individuality- With most schools cutting most arts out of their budgets and writing assignments being mostly research papers and reports, how else do students have to express themselves but with their clothing and hair styles? Most school uniforms require students to only wear certain colors, styles, and some even limit hair styles! How is a student supposed to show his or her uniqueness?
2. Concentration- I have found that students required to wear uniforms are more focused on what they can or can't wear that they start "slipping up" when it comes to academic work. Most students come to think negatively about the school and even begin to hate attending classes.
3. Safety- Most schools are enforcing a uniform because they are worried about gangs, other violence, popularity negatively affecting their students. I believe that they fail to realize that students will adjust and learn to "represent" their "status" regardless of what they are required to wear. Popularity will still be an issue surrounding studeno matter what any school tries to do. It is just a fact of life. Some people are more popular to others and there are always gong to be cruel people in existence.
4.School uniforms have placed on extra burden on lower-middle class parents, and there are many discrimination among the different uniforms in different school. Schools need to seriously attempt to enforce their current dress codes before instating a uniform policy. At my old high school, there was a dress code, but they adopted a uniform because, "...a majority of students aren't adhering to the dress code. Therefore, we believe a uniform is the best action to take..." Students weren't adhering to the dress code because there was NO punishment for it. Teachers were supposed to write two warnings and after that, they were to suspend the student. The teachers felt that it took too much of their time to write the warnings and depended on the administrators to issue them. Schools need to consider their students and the negative and positive outcomes of having a uniform. Nine times out of ten, the negatives far out weigh the positives

关于大学生英语口语调查问卷报告2016开始高考取消英语这课目考试？作为现在学英语专业的我，一直在思考一个问题：为什么要取消高考英语？难道所有的高考考生就那么怕英语嘛？所有的考生都是因为英语分数低而没有考上自己理想的大学嘛？那么我如今学的这个英语专业在我毕业之后还有用嘛？还能找到一份工作嘛？对于高考也就算了，那为什么现在的大学生学英语口语也那么难呢？平时在学校学的东西为什么不能用只能在课堂上和老师交流，顺治有些同学在课堂是也不敢说声hi呢？对于此事不是我一个人有种想法，因此我在网上和同学做了一个简单的英语口语调查问卷，希望能通过这些数据能找到基本的原因！ 在这次的简单的大学生英语口语调查中我们选择了网络调查以便更快的统计和信息化的交流，本次的调查选了17道小题，每个小题有4个答案分别是A,B,C,D，E,有110为来自整个大学的学生，这样就可以以便我们分析数据和统计。每位被调查的目标对象现在是大学生。，每位参加的大学生做完题后点提交我们的计算机会自动根际所以参加的人员做出数据分析和统计。题目的类型也是根据你的成长年龄和经历的事情已经你个人的看法和态度来设置的。 第一题很简单：你的年级是？答案有四个。A 大学一年级B大学二年级C大学三年级D大学四年级。为什么要出这么简单的题目呢？因为刚才说了我们调查的是大学生因为这些人群中的成长经历比较丰富一些对看待的事和物比较全面，些，这样也为我们后来的题目和统计有更好的帮助以
便更好的得出总结,在道题中选择A选项的人在参加总人数的25%，选择B选项的占总人数的32%，选择C选项的占总人数的34%，选择D的占总人数的19%，从这个数据来看我们得知参加这个调查的大学生大三的同学占多数，当然这个反映的只是在这110位大学生中的占有比例，但是也从看出成才比我的多的想的事情稍微的稳一点。 第二题的题目是：你的专业是什么？A英语B非英语。这道题是来测试这一百多位的调查中的人数中有多少人是学英语的专业的这样就可以来确定以下的问题的准确性，但是从数据上来看选择A 选项的占22·73%，而选择B选项的占77·27%，从这个数据中我们可以看出参加调查的人数不是学这个专业的，这也刚好，能从侧面的看出不学这个专业的是不是平时就不说英语呢？我们学这个专业的还经常性的接触这个东西，那不学这个专业的同学看看他平时都是怎么对待这个专业的呢？ 第三道题目是：你所在的英语课堂是否在乎重视英语口语的练习？A很重视B比较重视C基本不重视，每一道题都有他的用意，这个问题很现实也很在直接的是我们课堂上的问题。不管我们大学还是高中，初中，在课堂上的英语口语都没有经常得到锻炼，当然这只是我个人的想法，来看看这110位的选择。选择A选项的占总人数的12.73%，选择B选项的占总人数的38.18%，选择C选项的占总人数的49.09%，从这个的数据上来看不是很理想的占总人数最多的是C选项基本不重视的的人还是比较多的，从数据上看，参加大四的同学占多数，但是不重视的人也占多数，他们马上面临的就要毕业就不重视，这反映的是什么性质的问题？选择A
