　　有些学校开设体育课程，有些没有，你怎么认为？
　　E.g. 体育课 P. E. lessons are important
　　(1)增强体质：help students get a healthy body
　　(2)更好的学习：help study better
　　(3)学习新技能：learn how to swim, how to skate, etc
　　E.g. no need for P. E. lessons
　　(1)学生的主要目的是学习而不是体育课：the priority for a student is to exercise their brain not their body
　　(2)体育课占据太多时间：sometimes students do not even have enough time to finish their homework
　　(3)学生可以自由选择喜爱的运动，没有必要开体育课： sports that student like may vary, so it is difficult to cover every sport in a PE lesson
　　Sample answer:
　　I think it is necessary for students to have PE class in school. I have my reasons, here goes.
　　A student comes to school not only to exercise his/her brain but also his/her body. You see, people always say all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I totally agree with such a saying. Take me as an example, if I study all the time and do not have any physical exercise at all, my performance will drop and I will soon have a headache.
　　What’s more, I think we can learn some skills like swimming, skating, basketball, football and many other things. Previously I could not swim and was afraid of water. But ever since I learned how to swim in my PE class, I can swim happily like a fish. My arms and legs are much stronger than before and I seldom catch a cold
　　音乐教育是不是很重要？
　　E.g. Music lessons are important
　　(1)提高兴趣：music can be very interesting
　　(2)提高品位：help one get better taste
　　(3)帮助休息：help get relaxed
　　E.g. Music lessons are not important
　　(1) 学生的主要目的是学习而不是音乐课：the priority for a student is to exercise their brain not their ears
　　(2)学生可以在课余时间自主选择想听的音乐，没有必要开音乐课：students may choose whatever they like to listen E.g. rap, pop, jazz, classic, etc
　　(3)学生太忙没有时间上音乐课：students are too busy with their academic work, they have no time for music lessons
　　Sample answer:
　　I strongly believe music lessons are important for a student for the following reasons.
　　You see, students come to schools not only to exercise their brains but also to develop their hobbies and interest. A lot of famous scientists know how to play music very well. For example, Einstein is a very good violinist; Madame Curie is not only good at science but also loves music.
　　Besides learning music can help us relax in a better way. According to the New Scientist, researchers have found out that one can feel calm and relaxed when listening to Mozart. Some doctors use music to treat patients with mental diseases and they call it music-therapy. For example if I am tired I’d like to put on earphones to listen to my favorite piece Lambado which makes feel so good inside.
　　Do you agree or disagree: Students should wear uniform in school?
　　E.g. not wearing uniform
　　(1)校服太难看：does not look good, makes one look like a prat
　　(2)校服太贵：too expensive
　　(3)校服不会长大：a child will grow bigger but a uniform does not
　　E.g. Wearing uniform
　　(1 )有自豪感：feel proud of the school
　　(2)帮助培养团队精神： help build team spirit
　　(3)容易使人想起学校的历史： remind the history of the school
　　Sample answer:
　　Honestly I don’t think it is a good idea for students to wear uniforms at school.
　　First of all most of the uniforms do not look good, some even ugly. For example the color is always black, blue, or grey which is so dull and makes one look like an old person. The worst thing is that it is all in one style just like in an army.
　　Also school uniforms will soon be too small to fit it. You see, students grow fast but school uniforms do not. Even it fits you well perfectly when you first put it on, in a few months you will find it too small or too short.
　　What’s more, you will find it difficult for you to run or walk fast in a school uniform. It is so uncomfortable.
　　你选择online courses还是traditional courses
　　重考题，参考06.10.08
　　Choose subject which will lead to better job or subject in which you are interested？
　　E.g. Subject that will lead to better job
　　(1)不学习能找到好工作的课程是浪费时间： to study subjects that won’t help get better jobs is a waste of time and money
　　(2)学习能找到好工作的课程学起来有动力： to study subjects that help get better jobs can be interesting, one has to find interest in them
　　(3)学习能找到好工作的课程可以使人更贴近现实：to study subjects that help get better jobs means one is practical
　　E.g. Subject that I am interested
　　(1)有兴趣才能学得好：interest is the best teacher
　　(2)兴趣可以和工作相结合：no contradiction between the two
　　(3)兴趣可以增加学好其他学科的动力：help one do well in other subject once confidence is boosted
　　Sample answer:
　　In my opinion, we’d better pick up the subject that can help us find a better job.
　　Well, we receive education in order to find a good job and to live a good life. For example, if too many people are learning Latin, which is a dead language, I doubt many of them will find suitable jobs after graduation. After all the job openings for Latin majors are limited.
　　Besides, if we spend too much time learning the subjects that will not lead to good jobs, it will add burden to our society. I have a cousin, Alex, who did arts in college but now he cannot find a good job and had to stay at home with his parents although he is over 30 years old. It is a shame!
