　 Should Science and Arts Education Be Separated?

The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads throughout the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes. 　About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge, With the development of modern society, multi-skilled people are in great demand, However, over 40% of them insist that they should be separated so that students can concentrate on some subjects and become experts, Besides, they will not be overburdened as before.

As far as I’m concerned, a comprehensive education si better than a separated one, A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and the society as a whole, Worldwide, only in China science and arts are separated , which has had a bad effect on students’ sound development. It’s high time we changed this model, I don’t think comprehensive education will put a heavy burden on the students,

There has been a reversal of the brain drain since 1978 across the country.

[参考范文]

There has been a reversal of the brain drain since 1978 across the country. Between 1978 and 2007, about 7,000 overseas Chinese returned to Shanghai after completing their studies abroad. They accounted for about 25% of all returnees nationwide. The year 2008 has witnessed a boom. The number of returnees came up to 15,000. By the end of 2010, a further 22,000 will have returned to this city.

The reversal of the brain drain mainly arises from three facts. Firstly, our government values overseas Chinese scholars highly, encourages them to return home to start their own careers and has worked out a series of preferential policies. In Shanghai, the famous international city, they can enjoy a modern lifestyle. Secondly, China’s economy has been developing at a high speed, which provides them with a vast space of development. Many returnees have achieved outstanding success in scientific research or in high-level management. They are playing a more and more important role. Thirdly, the current global financial crisis leaves many overseas out of work or at the edge of being laid off. They feel more secure at home because the economy is more stable.

I hope that more overseas Chinese can head home. There is a bright future ahead of them.

以下是某英文报联合你校对你市(Kangming City)1998年到2008年家庭消费变化的图表，请据此写一篇短文，作一文字说明。文章的开头已经给出。词数110左右。

The average family income in our Kangming City increased from 8,000 yuan per year in 1998 to 20,000 yuan in 2008.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　

[参考范文]

The average family income in our Kangming City increased from 8,000 yuan per year in 1998 to 20,000 yuan in 2008. In the meantime, the structure of the average family expenses has changed, too. These graphs show the change clearly. 　

The biggest part of the average family expenses is housing. In 1998, the average family spent 25 percent of its income on housing. In 2880, expenses on housing rose to 42 percent. Food and drink are the second biggest part of the average family expenses. In 1998, about 18% of the average income was spent on this item. In 2008, the figure grew to 30%. As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food, expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008.

Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases, people can improve their living step. But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the basic needs.

The Pros and Cons on Thumb Culture

The other day our class had a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of Thumb Culture.

Most students are for sending text messages with cell phones because rapidly typed messages can keep them in touch with one another constantly. Besides, text messages with greetings or jokes seem more fashionable to the young than hand-written cards.

However, the minority of the students are against it. They say Thumb Culture may cause new health problems or even injure the thumb by repeating the same typing movements too frequently. Unexpected messages may disturb your friends if they are working or studying. In addition, such traditional ways of communication as hand-written letters and cards can bring people more feeling of warmth.

Anyway, it’s hard for us to reach the same conclusion. Maybe the argument will long exist.

Opinions are divided on this question. Some students may like elderly teachers’ teaching because they think elderly teachers have more teaching experience and that they tend to be patient and careful with explanations. However, I prefer to be taught by young teachers. Firstly, we students have much in common with them. So they are our friends as well as our teachers. Secondly, they are more energetic and enthusiastic. Usually they can make their classes lively and interesting. Besides, they are more ready to accept or create new ideas, including teaching. Thirdly, most young teachers devote themselves to their work, making them teach creatively and effectively.

In a word, I prefer young teachers to elderly teachers.

[参考范文]

Boys and girls:

We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Facing this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination. Last, some of us don’t have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn’t it strange? So long as we have some, that’s enough. And we can learn to spend money!

That’s all. Thank you.
