话题一：应试教育（exam-oriented education）
The examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous. Examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they care about nothing except training their students in exam techniques. In addition, examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
话题二:如何看待学生住校过宿舍集体生活
Different schedules, opinions or any other small things can create conflicts. Most teenagers are the only child in the family where they are the “King” or “Queen”. They can’t stand other kids’ different ideas, so conflicts between them come out in the dorm. Students should be patient, sincere, tolerant and cooperative in dealing with their roommates.
话题三:如何克服做事拖沓的坏习惯
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. You should make a list of what you need to do. Then think about how much time each task will take you. Try to allow yourself just enough time for each task. Leave some time slots empty, in case there is something unexpected that you must do. Don’t forget to set aside time to do things you enjoy as well. Offering yourself a reward will encourage you to get your tasks done quickly.
话题四:中学生应该志存高远
We should dream big, work hard and stay focused on learning. Nobody gets or writes our destiny but us. Our future is in our hands. Our life is what we make of it. And nothing—absolutely nothing—is beyond our reach, so long as we’re willing to dream big, so long as we’re willing to work hard.
话题五:对代沟的独特看法
In traditional culture, older people are valued for their knowledge, but now the knowledge of a lifetime may become outdated. Our elders used to reach out to others by letters, but now the youth like to communicate more on the Internet. Imagine what would happen if no generation gap existed. All youth living eternally as their parents did, getting the same education, and doing the same job. As a result, new things would never be created.
话题六:父母子女间冲突
Parents should help their children make choices instead of replacing them to make choices. Children should learn to respect their parents’advice since parents tend to have more life experience. Besides, to communicate with each other actively is necessary to their understanding each other. As long as both parents and children learn to think from the other side’s point of view, the conflicts between them can be avoided.
话题七:如何看待学生沉溺虚幻世界
Virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular among students. They use it as a way to escape from reality. The phenomenon reflects the emptiness in the students’ spiritual world. Living an imagined life is harmful. Once you’ve realized the distance between ideal and reality, it will be a heavy blow. Students need to cultivate their sense of responsibility in the reality, such as serving in student communities or volunteering programs.
话题八:子女陪伴年迈父母
In contemporary society, it has become a trend for young people to be busy with their work and study. Meanwhile, an increasing number of youngsters find it difficult to have spare time to accompany lonely parents. However, it is adult children’s company that enables aged parents to build up adequate hope, love and enthusiasm for life. As a matter of fact, young people in large numbers have not come to realize the loneliness of aged people.
话题九:阅读
Reading is very important. As Francis Bacon put it, “reading makes a full man”. Deep reading is a process in which people critically reflect in addition to trying to understand the words on the page. It can help people develop abstract thinking skills, in addition to improving their writing and conversational abilities. In one word, good books can delight, entertain and educate us. How can we make deep reading a habit? It’s suggested that people should choose easy books first, and then gradually move onto difficult ones.
话题十:碎片阅读的好处
Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.
话题十一:碎片阅读的弊端
Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.
话题十二:学生学习选修课的好处
Students are required to attend 26 hours of classes for compulsory courses each week. Based on that, students can take elective courses and learn interesting things their textbooks don’t cover. Career and social skills, and hobbies, such as dancing and singing, are among the choices.
话题十三：学生下跪向老师磕头道谢
I don’t agree with it. Kneeling is a kind of behavior that doesn’t suit the spirit of equality, which is called for in modern China. Although we all love our teachers, kneeling isn’t necessary. In my opinion, this kind of behavior is just a show. There are so many ways to show gratitude to teachers. Kneeling down is not suitable for the 21st century. In modern times, kneeling down doesn’t mean being grateful, it means giving up your dignity. Being grateful is one of the most beautiful feelings in life. But if you were to express your thanks in a way that’s embarrassing, this may affect the true emotion in your heart. So we shouldn’t encourage this kind of behavior.
话题十四:如何看待学生评价和考核老师
In a way, students are like customers, and they have the right to evaluate the teaching service which teachers provide. Besides, this practice will probably enable teachers to be aware of their teaching effectiveness and thus make some necessary improvement.
话题十五:学生自由选择任课教师
Students can freely select lecturers based on their interests and teachers’ capability. Students would learn more efficiently with their chosen teachers. However, the most disturbing problem remains that some students can choose lazy lecturers so that they can pass their exams without much effort.
话题十六: 行动比抱怨更加重要
Complaining won’t solve any problems. If you really hate something in society, why not do something about it? If you complain about plastic garbage, then why not take cloth bags with you when you do your shopping? If you hate the traffic jams and pollution caused by cars, then take the bus or walk to school or work. We can’t solve some big social issues, but we can still take action and do what we can to improve the world.
话题十七:分享
Sharing has been a part of my life. Sharing does not only mean sharing actual things, but also sharing feelings and minds. Man is a social being. We can’t live without others. We can’t survive by ourselves. We need to share. We need to share both our tears and laughter. Sharing means honesty and an open heart. After sharing, one piece of happiness turns into two; two pieces of sadness change into one. Without sharing there is no love; without sharing there is no cooperation; without sharing there is no human development; without sharing there is no hope. You and me, one world, one family: come together and learn to share.
话题十八：好朋友
As a saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”True friendship results from understanding and trusting between each other. Those who share your pains and sorrows are true friends while those who are eager to please you may be your false friends. In my opinion, we need to stick to the principle of making honest and reliable friends. In other words, a good friend should be trustworthy and dependable.
话题十九:面对面交流
For one thing, face-to-face communication allows us to make an interactive conversation. We can clear away the misunderstanding in time, a person’s tone of voice or facial expression often reflects his mood, while in other kinds of communication it’s hard for us to perceive the subtle changes of one’s emotion. For another, face-to-face communication can deepen the interpersonal relationship. For instance, trust and respect between businesses partners can be established even with a firm handshake.
话题二十:如何给成功下一个定义
Success is to keep moving forward, even if it’s just a little step. Keep doing this, and you will eventually taste the joy of success. The person without regrets is successful. There’s nothing that can be done about the results. A successful person is one who has his or her own goal. The person firmly and consistently tries to achieve and finally fulfills his or her ambition.
