out of a modest allowance, if they ever get such a thing at all. To the former group of
children most desirable things in life have to be \—that is, more often than not they must put forth great effort before their desire is fulfilled. On the other hand, busy, low or medium salaried parents translate into more autonomy and initiative on the children's part. This originally disadvantaged group becomes spontaneous and handy through crafting toy on their own, resourceful by cooking their own meals, tactful with coaxing their parents into buying them gifts, intelligent thanks to the absence of private tutors, savvy in doing summer jobs, and above all, unrelenting in pursuing their dreams.
Lastly, non-wealthy parents typically have higher and more definite aspiration for their children than well-to-do parents. Well-acquainted with all the disadvantages a meager or fair-to-middling bank account generates, many non-wealthy parents pin their hopes on their children to get their
families upwardly mobile. These adults mostly have high behavioral, educational and (subsequently) occupational expectations for their children. As a result, they cannot afford to be permissive parents. Spoiling their offspring rotten is the last thing they care to do and they are always ready to discipline their children when they misbehave. They keep tabs on their children's grades at school and do not spare the rod when their offspring do not measure up academically. The odds of children raised in such rigorous environments having good problem-solving skills are apparently better than children raised otherwise. To conclude, the chief determinant of individuals' problem-solving skills is not the amount of money their parents can amass when they are little. Rather, hands-on experience in comprehending, analyzing, resolving, mitigating or circumventing problems is more
essential to the cultivation of problem-solving abilities. Hence, I am convinced that families without great wealth are more advantageous to the development of individual capacity to tackle problems.

最后用最近写的一篇短文作为教育类话题的结束,短文基本概括了我在这个阶段对于好的教 育标准的理解.
There is no unanimous consensus yet on what constitutes a sound teaching methodology. However, in the new millennium, it is arguable that fine schooling, be it primary-level, secondary-level or tertiary-level, has four common characteristics: (1) Advantageous education encourages the student to think independently and critically, and empowers the student to evaluate the teacher's performance openly, as opposed to force-feeds students and renders them capable only of spitting back predigested ideas; (2) genuinely beneficial educational institutions aim to produce graduates with integrity. They not only inculcate knowledge, they instill moral values an principle as well; (3) Education should recognize the correlation and interaction between varied disciplines and adopts a multi-disciplinary curriculum; (4) In a healthy and stimulating educational environment, the imparting of theoretical knowledge is invariably synthesized with the cultivation of practical,
employable skills; (5) Schools should not be segregated on any grounds, racial, gender or intellectual.

科技类2/26 people today can perform the everyday tasks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to-face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole
开头段(不少于3+1句)The interactivity of the Internet and the mobile phone has enabled a multitude of people to purchase their desired items or pay their phone bills without stepping out of their offices or homes. And many others can even register for tests or sign contracts online. This sweeping trend of going about everyday business in the virtual world has triggered a marked decline in face-to-face contact between people. Thus, it is essential that we identify the implication of this trend on both individuals and society as a whole.
英文里表达\从事\一件事情 go about/ conduct/ perform 表示影响可以替换的单词: Implication /repercussions, impact, influence
主体段1(不少于1+6句)The impact of this phenomenon on individuals is profound. First, Individual efficiency in business transaction and banking will be greatly enhanced. And those who dread shopping are spared the chore of browsing around in shops. Secondly, the increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailment. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension. Thirdly, the absence of face-to-face contact may induce distrust between business partners. An inherent sense of disbelief is apt to ruin a telecommunicated negotiation when negotiators can only see videos of each other transmitted via the Internet.
表示\提高,增进\要表达\产生\的意思,后面是好的结果,用bring about 后 面是不好的结果用engender 后面是抽象名词比如心理活动,用 induce 破坏undermine, jeopardize, endanger, ruin, wreck ,havoc on, spoil, devastate
主体段2(不少于1+6句)This trend also has widespread repercussions on society as a whole. In the first place, the burgeoning e-commerce will, doubtless, boost corporate
efficiency immeasurably. And higher efficiency means more earnings and less costs for businesses. In the second place, online fraud, be it banking or trading, retail or wholesale, is sure to abound in the cyberspace. We must search for practicable and effectual means of curbing it. In the third place, the proliferation of e-commerce may exacerbate man's overdependence on technology. And that can render our lives unspontaneous and our tempo of life too fast and furious.
让…进一步恶化 aggravate exacerbate worsen
结尾段(不少于2句)In sum, there is no denying that the virtual world is exerting influence on our lives in various ways. It is a key that we take advantage of the upside of this trend and in the meantime mitigate its downside as much as possible.

Many people work at home using modern technology today. Some people think only workers benefit from it, not the employers. To what extend do you agree or disagree 折衷式,四段式,大负小正
Progressions in telecommunications technology have enabled the practice of
telecommuting. Which means worker can conduct their assigned tasks without have to commute back and forth to work regularly. This emerging working pattern has profound implication on our work and life. Some assert that only workers, not the employers, can be beneficiaries of telecommuting. Personally, I think their view has both merit and demerit. Granted, telecommuting can bring about numerous benefits to the employees. To begin with, employees do not have to live with the constant fear that their boss may look over their shoulder, as their work is supervised from far away and in more laissez faire fashions. There is no need for them to get super well-groomed and they can \ the work-induced stress is too intense to bear. Furthermore, telecommuting can spare workers the everyday chore of traveling back and forth to work. And this, in turn, helps them to cut down on costs of bus fare, fuel or extravagant work clothes.
Yet on the other hand, it would be erroneous if we fail to acknowledge that employers can profit from telecommuting, too. In the first place, less constraint, less peer pressure at work, no office politics and more flexible schedules can boost employee morale and enhance productivity. Empirical evidence abounds in this respect that more occupational freedom can, more often than not, lead to stronger vocational motivation and more innovative ideas. In the second place, telecommuting is an economical option for the employer. A telecommuting work force can help business-owners substantially curtail the overhead costs, such as the costs of rent and utilities. Thirdly, the fact that workers can telecommute via the worldwide communications network allows employer to recruit
people from remote locations or even half way around the globe. This markedly augments the labor pool of businesses.
To conclude, I concede that telecommuting can bring about a variety of boons to employees. However, it would be unjustifiable if we overlooked the advantages
telecommuting can spawn on the employers' side. On balance, I am convinced that we should strive to seek out the most effective approach to exploit this win-win situation.
