本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE5"A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer"。题目主要讨论的问题是“课程多样化”和“中小学生”之间的关系,其重点是分析在基础教育中,课程多样化的好处和弊端。这是一个本来就有争议的话题,需要注意的是,题目论述的内容不能是“高等教育”,也就是说,不要写成课程多样化与大学生的关系。
1. 你在进入大学之前学习的课程是全国统一的么?你是否喜欢这种方式?为什么?请举例说明。
回答:
Yes,the curriculum in our nation before college is uniform.I concede this patter is useful,for fundamental knowledge and basic pattern of thinking are necessary which could improve the quality of communication and education in college.
Math,is a good example of it. Every student pay their attention on mathematics before they enter universities. Math is original course for other subjects.
2. 描述一个基础教育中课程在全国不统一的事例,这样做有什么好处?有什么问题?
回答:
Branch of Art and Science.
I considered it as a useful step before entering the college. Branch of Art and Science offer a chance to choose which subjects they are good at for students.
Advantages:
It's the first important choice in that period of time for them to choose. Let them have a conscience about which direction they are in favor of.
Disadvantages:
It narrow the fields of view,perhaps before entering the college ,students' choices is declined to which subjects they are good at rather than in favor of.
