Home schooling

  All children in the USA have to get education, but they don’t have to be educated at school.A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.About 300 000 children who are educated at home are known as “home scholars”.

  Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they believe that they can give a better education by teaching them at home.Home schooled children quite often do better in the maths and reading exams than the ordinary school students.

  Jim Green and his wife teach their three children at home.Jim says that his children learn very differently from children in school.Learning starts with the children’s interests and questions.For example, when there is heavy snow on a winter day, it may start a discussion or reading something about snow.Or a spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space programme.If the rain forests are on the TV news, it could be a good time to talk about how rain forests change the weather.

  Home schooling is often more interesting than formal schools, but some critics(批评家)say that home scholars are outsiders who might not get on well with others when they grow up.They also say that more parents are not good enough to teach their children.Most parents don’t have the time or they don’t want to teach their children at home, so schools will still be where most children get their education.

问题导入:到了学龄去上学,在大多数人看来是天经地义的事,可是也有这样的孩子,他们不去学校接受教育而是在家里由父母亲自教,其中也不乏有所成就者。你在上学吗?你喜爱你的学校和学校里的学习生活吗?你觉得哪种教育方式更好,是去学校上课,还是在家里接受教育?

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Mountain climbers around the world dream about going up Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. But many people who have climbed the mountain have left waste material that is harming the environment.

A team of Americans is planning the largest clean-up effort ever on Qomolangma. They will make the risky trip up the mountain next month.

The team of eight Americans will be guided by more than twenty Sherpas of Nepal(尼泊尔夏尔巴人). Their goal is to remove all the rubbish they see. They will spend two months cleaning up the mountain by gathering oxygen bottles, fuel containers, batteries, drink cans, human waste and all kinds of disposable products(一次性产品). They are expected to remove at least three tons of rubbish in large bags.

Team leader Robert Hoffman is making his fourth trip up the mountain. He says he hopes to bring Qomolangma to the condition it was in before the first successful climb fifty years ago. He says he hopes the effort will influence other people to clean up the environment closer home.

Disposable products on Qomolangma are a major concern. So the clean-up team will take along newly developed equipment to collect and treat disposable products. Over the years, the disposable products have polluted the mountain. In the warm season when the ice melts, the polluted water flows to Nepali villages below. The problem has gotten worse in recent years because climbing Qomolangma has become more popular.
