考場題

語料

#1 關(guan) 於(yu) 家務 chore

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should spend most of the time playing and studying, and they should not be required to do household chores, like cooking or cleaning.

And parents, on the whole, had fewer household labor needs and could afford to spare their kids the less pleasant experiences of their own childhoods...

這部分內(nei) 容可以用來論證，沒有必要讓孩子做家務，因為(wei) 也沒什麽(me) 家務要做的。

... how their students’ limited experience with hard work made them oddly fuzzy-headed when facing real-world problems rather than classroom tests.

如果沒有做過家務的話，可能未來獨立生活的能力會(hui) 下降

這裏順帶可以學習(xi) 下spare 這個(ge) 單詞的用法, 我們(men) 自己構建句子的時候可能不會(hui) 想到這個(ge) 單詞

spare /spɛr/（v.）To save or relieve from experiencing or doing (something) 使免遭：使免於(yu) 經曆或做（某事）：

fuzzy-headed /ˈfʌziˌhɛdɪd/ (adj.)Marked by unclear, confused thinking. 頭腦不清楚的：思想混亂(luan) 不清楚的

#2 關(guan) 於(yu) 孩子是不是需要更多的休息時間

Recently, some primary, middle, and high schools (students aged 6-18) have reduced the number of attendance days from five to four days a week. However, students spend 90 more minutes in school each day. In your view. Is it beneficial or harmful to reduce the number of school days per week while extending the number of hours attended per day?

The time our students didn’t spend in school was mostly spent consuming: products, media and entertainment, especially entertainment.

孩子多出來的時間也不是用來真正休息的，所以沒有必要4天

#3 要不要每周給孩子零花錢

Some parents enjoy giving their children weekly spending money; for example, they may give their primary (elementary) or middle school child a small amount of money each week to spend on whatever the child wants. Some people believe that this practice can cause children to develop bad habits or ideas about money and that parents should not give their children weekly spending money. Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing for parents to give their children weekly spending money? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Our efforts to protect our kids from hurt feelings, tedious chores, money worries and the like are well intentioned. But many of us, perhaps especially middle-class parents, are unwittingly enabling many of our kids to not grow up.

這裏可以隻說money worries 部分就好，因為(wei) 其他的和題目也沒有關(guan) 係。然後可以說這樣孩子可能不會(hui) 長大，會(hui) 有bad ideas about money （點一下題目）

#4 從(cong) 老人家那裏學到人生道理

A university has a club for students who want to help others. The club can undertake only one project this year. Which ONE of the following projects do you think the university club should choose to do? Why?

-Members of the club help young students at a nearby primary school with reading and mathematics.

-Members of the club help build houses for people who cannot afford to buy or rent a home

-Members of the club visit and assist elderly people who need help with daily tasks.

Older folks will benefit from the help, and your kids will gain from the perspective of people who’ve been on the planet longer than they have.

我們(men) 當然選的是visit elderly people， 因為(wei) 從(cong) 他們(men) 身上可以學到不同的對於(yu) 事情的看法。當然描述的對象要從(cong) kids 變成 university students

#5 旅行的意義(yi) （三題）

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to travel abroad to visit different countries when you are younger rather than when you are older.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? After completing high school, students should take at least a year off to work or travel before they begin studying at a university.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to spend money on traveling and vacation than save money for the future.

Travel is simply an opportunity to help our kids to get out of their comfort zones, learn to see different social and economic arrangements.

.... visit a different neighborhood — you don’t have eyes to see your own community until you’ve visited another.

旅遊可以走出舒適區，看到不同的社會(hui) ；另外生活在別處了才會(hui) 更了解自己。

#6 獨立能力的重要性

Some children prefer to socialize (get together and have fun) after school with very little involvement from parents or teachers; for example, they enjoy games or activities that they can organize and play safely without help from adults. Other children prefer to socialize after school by joining groups or participating in programs organized and monitored by adults. Which way of socializing after school do you think is most helpful for children’s development? Why?

They’ll have been the planners, the decision makers and the risk calculators, while you’re still there to make sure nothing goes too far off the rails.

如果free play，沒有parents 和teachers 在的話，孩子自己去組織活動，當然後麵的那個(ge) 部分在free play 的觀點下就不能用了；但在講家長monitor 重要的時候就可以說，monitoring 可以避免孩子 go off the rails

#7 閱讀的重要性（二題）

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students can learn just as much by watching films as they can by reading books.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The reading that a student does on his or her own is as important as, or more important than, the reading that a student does because it is assigned by teachers.

.... build reading lists of books that they will wrestle with and be shaped by for the rest of their lives. Becoming a reader grows our horizons, our appetite for the good, the true and the beautiful, and our empathy.

通過閱讀去更好地了解自己，同時提高對於(yu) 美的認識，建立同理心
