DO YOU THINK THAT HOME-SCHOOLING IS UNSUITABLE FOR MOST FAMILIES ?A(FOR) B(AGAINST)A--In my opinion,home-schooling maybe suitable for some special families and their children，but is not suitable for most families. Schools have been in existence for centuries as suitable place to educate student. School education is more disciplined ,organized ,standard ,comprehensive ,as opposed to home-schooling .There is no doubt that school education should be more suitable for most families and their children .B--I don't think I can agree with the view just expressed,like most things ,home-schooling has its positive side and negative side .but the advantage of home-schooling ,I think ,far outweigh its disadvantage .A--There are many issues to consider .Home-schooling becomes the primary job of the parent once it's started .Parent don't need to have PhD's in order to teach their children. But, if a parent has had only 7th grade education, it's going to be hard to teach higher levels. If a parent can't read, then it's very difficult to teach another person anything that involves any level of reading.B--Such parent that you said just is only a few part .Though people can't home-school through college ,most families could provide a better quality education to their children through primary even senior school .And the purpose of education should not be filling a child with fact like public school .We should educate our children for life ,not just for achievement test .A--It's feared that in home-schooling children may not be able to rise above the level of academic achievement of their parent .Not every father or mother is a good teacher who is experienced in teaching ,you know .B--Study after study has show that children that are home-schooling outrank their public and private school peer in every academic area .There is also the benefit of reducing your children exposure to peer pressure regarding drug alcohol and sexual activities .it's also an alternative for families living in isolated rural location or living temporary aboard .A--That most home-schooler seem to live on remote farm or have unique lifestyle make it possible for them to be deeply involved in their children education ,but home-schooling children might lose their social skill .It may be difficult to foster in home-schooling a sense of the collective ,cooperation ,team work ,communication skill .B--As you said ,may be all of us should think it out again .IF THE ONLY WAY TO PRESERVE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR ?A(FOR) B(AGAINST)A--In my esteem ,preparing for war is the only way to preserve peace .If a county doesn't prepare for war ,he will have few concerns that he will not endeavour to strengthen military force .A liberty ever said ' live in worry ,die in happiness '.A country who has not strong military force ,some developed countries will tend to exploit them for some benefits or damage its benefit which may cause dispute that disobey the peace .B--Conflict should be resolved through peaceful means ,war is human tragedy ,millions of people die and families fall apart as result of war . In war everyone loses ,war creates suffering for both side .Preserve peace should use peaceful means ,prepare for war is not as easy as you said ,it will bring us many issue .A--Have you heard of Chair Mao 's word ' do you want peace ? Please go to prepare for war .By preparing for war ,then we will motivate and develop our potential to strengthen our country .' When the country become strong , I think it will guarantee peace .B--Have you though what price you would pay for prepare for war .Country in order to prepare for war will cost much money in army equipment ,and other country will cost more ,it will lead a terrible consequence --army race .More and more Weapon of Mass Destruction will be made ,people would become more and more weak ,because if these thing was used by terrorism ,the whole world will be involved in trouble .A--We will never be able to get rid of war .Just like developed countries will always have words in the world .It's a fact we can not change .if developing country becomes strong ,the devoted country will take a second thought before invade them or damage their benefit .B--I agree that we have to do some thing to stop thing .but anyhow ,We should try to solve it at the negotiation table .In conclusion ,prepare for war is not the only way to preserve peace ,there are more peaceful means .。

1.Should ‘factory farming’ be banned?A: Hey, Do you know factory farming, are you supporting it or against it?B: hello. As far as I know, factory farming is the actuality of modern-day factory farms, or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations .I think factory farming is harmful and thus should be banned.A: I agree with you. I hear in the United States, not only is this industry the cruelest to animals, it is also one of the top contributors to global warming and similar issues.B: You are right. And the argument concerning this issue revolves around the ethics, or lack thereof, of procedures. They say, chickens raised in factory farms spend their entire lives packed by the thousands inside poorly-ventilated shacks.A: Oh, it is hard to imagine the picture. Recently I have also read some reports that similar conditions like you just mentioned exist for other animals raised for their flesh. Many dairy cows, for instance, suffer from what is called Mastitis, a painful inflammation of the udder, caused by over-milking. And when they become too old to give any more milk, they are killed by having their throats cut with saws.B: So it is very crude and unfair to those animals. Apart from this, factory farming also brings some other bad consequences. Factory Farms have been noted to produce more greenhouse gases than all of the vehicles in the world combined. And water pollutions...A: I totally agree. It comes so far, because the administration lack regulations on factory farms .So as to this topic, we can conclude that it has been a main cause of many of the serious issues faced by the world today: animal cruelty, water pollution, and global warming.B: Well, if measures were taken to control the procedures and methods used by factory farms, and to enforce certain requirements, many of these problems could be mitigated.A: you got it. Since factory farming is endangering us all, everyone should unit together to boycott it. It should be banned2.Do "beauty" contests serve any purpose in society?Beauty contests promote an ideal of female beauty to which only a minority of women can realistically aspire, but which adds to the pressure on all women to conform to it. This can be harmful to women by encouraging dieting, eating disorders and cosmetic surgery, or simply by making them feel inadequate and ugly.Women in beauty contests are judged on their physical appearance rather than on any other qualities they may possess (the existence of a ‘talent’ element in many such contests is all very well, but ugly women simply aren’t going to win). Judging women, but not men, primarily on their looks contributes to the subjugation of women because other qualities, such as intelligence, are not seen as part of ideal femininity and therefore not as things to which women should aspire.3.What are the advantages and disadvantages of surfing the internet?A(introduction): internet ,it is becoming more and more important to us .however at the same time ,it also bring some side effect. So what’s your opinion?B(正): I think internet is useful in our daily life. Measurers(网上冲浪者) indifferent place can share interesting knowledge and latest information.A(反): I agree with you on this . However, the internet can also spread some negative information. For instance, someone establish the website where scandal sheet(黄色书刊)and videos are included. It really has a bad effect on teenagers.B(正); that may be true ,once upon a time ,the yellow press is also popular .but now it has been controlled by the government. Therefore, the government can also take some measures to control it.A(反); apart from these ,the computer can be affected by viruses and hackers. So I think it is not safe to useinternet, because our private information might be stolen.B(conclusion): take it easy, all these problems can solved. With proper management of internet, people ought to experience more fruits of the information revolution.4.Should stay-at-home moms get a salary from the government?In today's society, women often feel that to be seen as successful, they should have to balance their career, children and their marriage. However, most women are force to stay at home to raise children and give up their own career. It’s unfair for women to devote all her lifetime in family instead of catching up the opportunities to live whatever they want. So our group insists that women shouldn’t stay at home to raise children, here is our main points.First, women and men are born to be equal, there’s no any saying that women are born to raise child and they have to scarify their own life. Women also have the ability and drive to do many things a man can do. They have the legal right as anyone else to decide what is best for them and their children.Second, in china, parents need a lot of money to raise children. A single income is not enough to comfortably support a family, especially those single families. Mothers have to get out working so as to ensure that their children have the best start in life. They can afford the best education and best quality of lifestyle.Third, many forms of childcare can be beneficial and complimentary to the care provided by parents. Older generations such as grandparents could hands on experience with young children and also the childcare professionals have similar experience and they often take courses on child development, which makes them more knowledgeable than a first time parents. And I think this would help to improve children’s social skills and more independent than those who rely on their parents.Side B: Women should stay at home as housewives.(1) If husband and wife both go out to work, who will look after their children and parents? They will meeta lot of problems in their daily life.(2) China is a country with a large population. A lot of people can’t find jobs. We should encourage more women to stay at home to take good care of their family. Let men go out to earn money. So the quality of our family life will be improved.5.Do children learn better in boys-only and girls-only schools?A: now some people argue that children learn better in boys-only and girls-only schools. how do you think about it.B: may be there are the reasonability and necessary for the existence for the boys-only or girls-only schools.A: take the girls-only schools for example; there are many advantages for the girl’s growth.B: yeah, I agree it. Girls will get centralized education and community environment from the girls' only schoolA: in girls-only schools, According to their physical characteristics, more suitable sports and physical exercise can be receivedB: beside some special social practice are carried out, and they will be more beneficial to their physical and mental developmentA: at the same time, without competition and infection from boys, the girls can concentrate on their studies B: moreover, The girl's career goals and aspirations no longer suffer Restrictions and negative impact.A: students graduating from Girls school have a high level of political participation, more enthusiasm forthe engineering industry,B: they are also more confident in public discourse, and more active in extra-curricular activitiesA: however some other people claim that Isolation education is not conducive to gender equality and communication between girls and boysB: Study found that it is more difficult for the boys from single-sex schools to maintain heterosexual relations.A: but in my opinion although there are drawbacks, Advantages outweigh the disadvantagesB: it is said that in boys-only schools they give prominence to boys' Special education, enhance the outstanding character of boys,A: at the same time, they carry out physical and mental activities specifically for boys, to develop them into the strong men.B: in a word, we should look at boys-only or girls-only schools dialectically6.Why do normally patient people become impatient behind the wheel?A: Nowadays, Increasing numbers of traffic accidents cause concern for drivers driving.B: In fact, many accidents are not related to driver’s poor technology, but the driver’s impatience.A: Why are more and more drivers become impatient, let us look for reasonsB: I think that Traffic congestion play the most important role.A: yeah, urban driving often encounter traffic jams, stop and go, people who are simmered in a small car space, likely to be cerebral hypoxia, which is the reason leading to impatienceB: besides, excessive pressures of urban residents are equally important. It because the Fast pace of modern life. moreover, the long time to wait for traffic lights make driver impatient, therefore many traffic accidents are owing to the break traffic lights much surprised to us , Women have stronger sense of responsibility to comply with traffic regulations and more impatient than man .so the impatience is related to GenderA: Free parking, blocking traffic export to waiting for people, don’t playing turn indicator , All these uncivilized driving habits will disrupt the normal traffic order, so Driver's patience has been completely Whiled away.B: Firstly start from ourselves, we have to cultivate the habit of observing traffic rules, so as to create a good traffic environment both for ourselves and others .we may become more patient than before, if Follow the above suggestionA: beside, we also should keep peace of mind when encountering traffic jam and other uncivilized driving.

If a driver is charged with a misdemean，he will get angry.Then it will increase the possibility of being involved in an accident and the effect of a traffic ticket does not last long.B:That sounds reasonable.But I still think a traffic ticket can reduce a driver’s chance of being involved in a fatal accident .

What is it that makes the traffic so bad ？B: Limited road capacity and people’s weak awareness of traffic laws contribute largely to the problem. To solve the traffic problem, many people have put forward many solutions ? Do you think what we should do to make traffic better?A:One is to lay down more roads, which will make the highways less crowded and accelerate the flowof traffic. Another is to open up more bus routes, which will enable more people to take buses rather than ride bikes or drive cars, thus decreasing thenumber of cars and bikes racing on the streets.B:I don’t agree with you. Both of your suggestions have disadvantages. The former may occupy too much land, which may be otherwise put to better uses. The latter, on the other hand, will bring inconvenience to those who are living far away from the bus routes.A:What’s you opinion ?B:The best solution, in my opinion, seems to be the combination of the two：build more roads in places where land is less useful, and at the same time increase the number of public bus routes.Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.14.Do you want your child to be a boy or a girl ?A: Hey.

I`ll tell them how to dress themselves up .even how to make ups.B:Ok. you`ve convinced me. I`ll take your advice when I`m able to have my own baby in the future.15.Who are more tired,men or women ?List your reasons.A: You look so tired today. What`s the matter with you?B: I had a bad sleep last night.

We female study hard in school .once we graduated from school. we work even harder to supply the family.A: Well. I`m not so agree with you. Man do all these above as well to support a family.B: You know .what women do is more than this .they should also do their best when they get home after work.A:Can you tell it in detail?B: Sure. When women get back home. They should also cook for the family. Take good care for the children.

Why is driving while talking on a cellphone so dangerous? American researchers have shown that language interferes with visual tasks and speaking is more taxing on the brain than listeningA:It's really an attention problem.Talking or preparing to speak was more distracting than listening.It's easy to be distracted and let your attention wander when one drives while talking on the cellphone.B:Yes,those talking on the cellphone while driving are more sluggish .In addition , talking on the cellphone can reduce reaction time and reduce picking up speed after braking.A: I think that driving talking on the phone is also different from talking to someone in the car.One must concentrate one's attention on listening to what the other says,so it increase the chance of being involved in an accident.B:In a word ,it is extremely dangerous for those drive while talking on the cellphone.
