stimulate scholarship vivid involvement compulsory interact Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Teachers had a greater influence on young people in the past than they do today. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Teachers have always been an important part of human society. Some believe that the golden age of teachers has already passed—that teachers today no longer have influence over our youth like the teachers of the past did. I disagree.
For one thing, more people are ___________ school than before, so
teachers are able to influence young people on a larger scale than before. One reason more people are going to school is that primary and secondary education are now ___________ in most countries, with some countries like Chile even ___________ free schooling up to the age of 21. Another reason is that higher education is receiving more attention, with
___________ allowing exceptional students to study for free or more
cheaply, ___________ ___________ giving all students an alternative way to pay for university, and ______________________ exchange programs enabling students to study in foreign countries. Even people in
_____________ areas are getting a chance to go to school thanks to
increasing governmental ___________. Because of these factors, teachers today are able to affect the lives of more people.
For another thing, education is seen as a higher priority now than in the past, so teachers are considered more important to young people's development this day and age. This is especially true with regard to
minorities and women, because we now know that a lot of race and gender inequalities stem from education imbalances. The men and women teaching in our academic ___________ today are not only increasing ___________ and imparting wisdom, they are also helping to rebalance
society by helping young illiterate people from disadvantaged groups get the ___________ they need to compete more equally.
Finally, teachers are able to influence young people in new ways thanks to technological ___________ they now have. The computerization of classrooms, for instance, has allowed teachers to present information in more ___________ ways. Instead of merely describing a chemical reaction, they can use a CGI video to show how two chemicals
___________ at the atomic level. This would ___________ a student's interest much more easily. The growing popularity of ___________
___________ also means that teachers nowadays can reach students who are studying at home. Teachers can now reach students who cannot
necessarily pay for private ___________ or afford expensive tuition fees by instead teaching them through more affordable online courses. Today's technology enables teachers to convey knowledge like never before, and with greater efficiency.
In summary, teachers today are no less influential than teachers in the past. If anything, the combination of more people attending school, education being seen as a higher priority, and new technological resources becoming available have all made teachers today more influential towards young people, not less.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should spendtime with their children helping them with schoolwork rather than playing games and sports. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. (2012.11.3NA)
A child's life is full of important experiences that will come to shape and define them later on. Children need to play and be active, to explore the world physically; but they also need to begin the process of learning and acquiring knowledge, and expand their mental capacities. What role should the parent play in these areas of development? Ideally a parent should be involved in both, but in today's world, time is limited. Under these circumstances, a parent should focus on helping their child with schoolwork.
The most important reason for this is because parents should strive to discover where a child's strengths and passions lie, and then help cultivate those strengths and passions. This will make a huge impact on a child's future success—and more importantly, also their future happiness. When I was younger I was moderately interested in all subjects, but I had a particular bent for art. My parents could see how excited I was about art homework compared to my other homework. Some parents might have quashed this interest, declaring it impractical. They didn't. They
encouraged me to pursue art, as long as I didn't neglect the rest of my studies. Since then, art has become an indispensable part of my life and studies, and I am eternally grateful to my parents for that.
Another significant reason for parents to involve themselves in their children’s schoolwork is the fact that job competition has grown
tremendously. Helping your kids with homework is no longer optional. In order to secure a steady job, merely graduating with a bachelor's degree is no longer enough. With such a saturated job market, parents need to help their kids find their calling early on, and then support them in pursuing that calling so they have a chance to distinguish themselves among their peers.
Studies have found that over half of recent university graduates are
unemployed, employed only part-time, or working at a job far below their qualifications. Without proper academic advice and guidance from parents, it is easy for children to grow up feeling somewhat directionless and fall victim to these circumstances.
Finally, children will have many friends to teach them how to play, but only parents can really teach them how to work. Most children do not enjoy schoolwork. If given the choice, they will want to play games and sports. They will have plenty of opportunities to do so with their friends. It is only from parents that they can learn the importance of hard work and discipline, because it is only parents who have the benefit of life
experience. Of course, children will resist. They may even resent their parents at times. But it is the parent's job to sometimes be the \because nobody else will teach the child if the parent doesn't. Through helping children with schoolwork, parents can instill the mentality values that will allow children to successfully pursue their ambitions.
A child's development needs to be carefully balanced between play and work in order for them to find their true passion and succeed later in life. While friends can take care of the \difficult lessons of \
