Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

“He who bears the greatest hardship becomes the greatest man.” This idiom shows Chinese people’s traditional belief in the vital role that hardship plays in a person’s life as they grow up. But today, as our lives have greatly improved, do we still need this so-called “hardship education”?

“We definitely do.” said Wang Weiqiong, mother of a 15-year-old girl in Jiangxi. “Many children take everything for granted, as they’ve never known how difficult it is to make money.”

Wang is not alone. According to a recent survey of 2,017 people done by China Youth Daily, 81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas, outdoor training, taking part-time jobs, and doing housework.

Qiao Yu, from Tianjing Foreign Languages School, also supports the idea. “Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society,” said the 18-year-old, who worked in a cake store this summer.

But while it contributes to students’ development, “hardship education shouldn’t be seen as simply making students suffer,” Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Center told China Youth Daily. “It should follow teenagers’ growth” Sun said students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties, for doing sporting can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.

Answer 1

【答案】The Chinese have a traditional belief that hardships contribute to one’s growth. A recent survey shows that many parents and students support it, but some experts are opposed to it. (30 words)

As is known, hardship education refers to all kinds of activities including community services, social practice, volunteer work and various sports, which allow teenagers to experience the difficulties of life and society, thus contributing to their growth.

In my eyes, with the fast development of our living standards, hardship education has become a must for the contemporary youth. For one thing, via hardship education, teenagers can enhance their overall quality such as courage and perseverance, and get better prepared for the future. For another thing, by participating in various activities, teenagers can build up their strength and develop surviving skills besides written knowledge.

To sum up, society, school and families should attach great importance to hardship education for all students. (120 words)
