一、目的状语从句 1. in order that
A Bedfordshire police spokeswoman said that giving someone a caution did not mean that they were being let off, as it was a recordable conviction. “Sometimes this proves the best way forward to ensure a person is reprimanded and given educational advice in order that they do not continue to offend.” 2. so that
It suggests “learning conversations” with teachers so that pupils get into the habit of thinking about their learning and how to make progress. It also suggests that all pupils be allocated a “learning guide”—a teacher or classroom assistant to monitor their progress. 二、核心词汇 Theoretical理论上的 Practical实际的、实用的 Nurture养育、教养 Physical物理的、身体的 Psychological心理的

Universities are one of the most important institutions in modern society. Post-secondary education provides both general skills and knowledge and sometimes job-specific training. But which of these two should be the main focus? While many people might think the focus should only be “jobs”, I believe universities play a larger social role.
Let us consider that we live in an information age. If a student wants to learn about accounting or history or other job-specific information, they do not need to sit in a classroom to get it. Nowadays, anyone can get information and knowledge online and can learn on their own. So surely universities are not needed for this purpose.
Instead, what universities should focus on is developing critical thinking. Anyone can memorize facts and get on-job training, but not everyone can think and analyze. This is a far more important skill in the real world. To be able to process information, understand it and use it, these are the skills our universities should focus on building.
That is not to say that universities should not pay any attention to the workplace. Of course all graduates want to find good work. But if you ask most people in the workplace today, they will tell you that the specific skills required for their jobs were learned on-site. And if you ask most employers what they are looking for in employees, they will tell you that it is a mind that can “think outside of the box”.
So while universities play a role in training people for the workforce, they primarily function as a place for training the mind. What most companies and workforces need are not robots, but creative people who can contribute ideas.
Universities should be the driving force in nurturing such people. Eg. 1
Many people use distance-learning programs to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the same benefits of attending college or university. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.
Distance learning is a relatively recent phenomenon and consequently it is somewhat controversial. With good reason, many people question whether technology can change how we can learn. Others, however, make a convincing argument that classroom-based learning has its limitations. Considering both sides, it is clear that there is value in both approaches.
Let us first consider the pros of traditional, classroom-based learning. From the time of the ancient Greeks and Chinese and perhaps before, we have clung
to the idea of a “teacher”, one who shares his/her wisdom and expertise. This model has been tested and survived the ages. Teachers not only can share knowledge, but they can assess, correct and motivate students. Truly there is great value in this.
That said, remote learning also has its own upside. Consider, for example, students who live in remote areas without roads or funds to pay for tuition to attend a school far away, an Internet connection solves this. Also, there is something to be said for students being more independent learners, and online learning develops this skill.
So the question really is not “Which one?” but rather, “How can we combine both?” It seems perfectly reasonable that students attend some classes in person, but also use the web to communicate with other students and professors as well as research various topics. Countries and societies need to assess which approach works best for them.
So while we should harness the potential of new technology that makes remote learning possible, we should not neglect the importance of traditional learning. Student without teachers will surely be lost; but students who simply rely on teachers for knowledge are not really learning. Eg. 2
Most countries spend lots of money on education as they start to recognize its importance. In your opinion which two of the following subjects are the most important for your people and which one is the least important? Subjects:
Literature sports mathematics economics Physics history music geography
It has been said that investing in education is investing in one’s future: this is true for both individuals and nations. It is always somewhat subjective to say which is more important, the humanities or sciences, as both have value. However, I would like to make a case for the importance of math and economics in this day and age.
Let us begin with math. Mathematics is a foundation subject which bridges many different fields, from physics and chemistry to the Internet and modern medicine. All of our material advances in the 20th century could not have happened without advanced mathematics. To be sure, it will also play a critical role in meeting challenges like global warming and space travel, to name just a few, in the future.
Likewise, economics is a fundamental discipline that allows societies to be stable and move forward. History is full of examples of kingdoms and empires that collapsed as their economies declined. Most obviously, we need look no further than the current economic meltdown to see the importance of economics. The jobs and wellbeing of individuals and nations alike depend upon a deeper understanding of this field.
While all subjects have their merit, perhaps Geography does not have the same importance it once did. After all, in our modern world we have 3-D maps online that allow
us to see anywhere with the click of a mouse. But to reiterate, we need a balanced approach to education where we still produce artists and thinkers and historians and so on.
In sum, it is critical that we give priority to math and economics in the 21st century. Meanwhile, we should do our parts to make sure all subjects are not overlooked. Only by doing so can we develop an all-rounded talent and ensure our prosperity and progress. Eg. 3
In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people to do this and give your opinion.
Nowadays, an increasing number of people are concerned about what young people should do between finishing high school and starting university.
However, some state that youngsters should make a good preparation for the study of college and it is a waste of time to travel; others, on the contrary, argue what they
really need is “refreshing” to explore other options.. In my opinion, there is value in both sides.
Generally speaking, in the past when students graduated from high school, they went to university or entered the workforce right away. This is no longer always the case. Many students now choose to “take a year off” and explore other options. Deciding whether or not this is wise is subjective but for many it can be positive.
On the one hand, taking time off allows a person to broaden his/her horizons, to see and experience new cultures, to peak his/her curiosity about new places. After all, not all things can be learned in the classroom. We can grow and mature from the challenges of living abroad. It also allows us to appreciate aspects of our own culture that we previously took for granted.
But on the other hand, there is the risk that taking time off may cloud the student’s mind by presenting him/her with too many options. Young minds are impressionable and sometimes they need structure. The desire to go back
to school after being in society may become less appealing and this could negatively impact their long-term job opportunities.
In the end, I feel that it comes down to what the individual wants to achieve in life. There is no “one size fits all” prescription. Personally, if I had the resources, I would make every effort to experience new places and challenge myself in new ways, but also commit to a university education afterward.
To summarize, we must be careful not to make this into a black and white issue. Instead, parents and children should do their best to discuss what course of action suits them best and is supportive. Eg. 4
In countries there is a high rate of unemployment, most students should be offered only primary education. There is no point in offering secondary education to those who have no hope of finding a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
While access to education should be universal and affordable, the reality is that it is often out of reach for many. High unemployment in some countries or regions may even make some feel that it is waste of time. While situations and circumstances may vary, in general we should do our part to make sure that as many people finish high school and university as possible.
First, we must consider the economics of a proper education. With limited education one can perhaps find odd jobs at an earlier age, but his/her long-term income and opportunities will be limited, compared that with someone who completes school. While graduates may have trouble finding work at first, once they do, they have a better chance of keeping their jobs and earning more in the future and thus have a better quality of life.
Secondly, educated people do a lot to create jobs. Most entrepreneurs and businessmen, who create employment, themselves, received education. These are the people who create growth and opportunity in a society;
conversely, those without education can only struggle to look after themselves.
Some would say that by not investing in secondary education when outlook is bad, government can save money. This may be true in the short term but it leaves the long-term problem of an under-educated and under-developed society. Surely this is not a responsible solution.
In the final analysis, it often takes short-term sacrifice and investment to achieve long-term prosperity. The government must not take shortcuts when it comes to ensuring everyone receive a proper secondary education. This is the surest way to create a better future for everyone.
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you Yet you don't know that I love you.
The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you can't see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together.
The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love
But when I plainly cannot resist the yearning Yet pretending you have never been in my heart. The furthest distance in the world Is not struggling against the tides But using one's indifferent heart To dig an uncrossable river For the one who loves you.
倚窗远眺，目光目光尽处必有一座山，那影影绰绰的黛绿色的影，是春天的颜色。周遭流岚升腾，没露出那真实的面孔。面对那流转的薄雾，我会幻想，那里有一个世外桃源。在天阶夜色凉如水的夏夜，我会静静地，静静地，等待一场流星雨的来临…
许下一个愿望，不乞求去实现，至少，曾经，有那么一刻，我那还未枯萎的，青春的，诗意的心，在我最美的年华里，同星空做了一次灵魂的交流…
秋日里，阳光并不刺眼，天空是一碧如洗的蓝，点缀着飘逸的流云。偶尔，一片飞舞的落叶，会飘到我的窗前。斑驳的印迹里，携刻着深秋的颜色。在一个落雪的晨，这纷纷扬扬的雪，飘落着一如千年前的洁白。窗外，是未被污染的银白色世界。我会去迎接，这人间的圣洁。在这流转的岁月里，有着流转的四季，还有一颗流转的心，亘古不变的心。
