More and more celebrities have been admitted to famous universities even without an entry examination. This phenomenon has become a
2、widespread hot topic. The following are opinions from two sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides; 2. give your comment.

3、anization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Marie: I actually find nothing wrong with this system. It“s true that these celebrities just need their names to get what others have to work hard to attain to enter the university, and it seems u
4、nfair. However, if we look at it in this way: once a star successfully debut and has his/her name known, isn“t that recognition of his/her talent? So if a university can admit a student with excellent records, why can“t they admit a starwhose talent has been recognized by the community? I think the
5、question is not “Is it fair or unfair to admit celebrities into universities?“ but “How should the system work to preserve the fairness?“ I think they should have stricter conditions (like the singers must have an award). Alfie: First of all, I think the criteria are too high, and most celebrities c
6、an“t meet them. I understand why one would be angered by celebrities having it easy, especially even if you worked your buttocks off and didn“t get in. But that phenomenon is everywhere. I mean most American actors go to ivy leagues. Everybody should be treated equally, but everybody knows that that
7、 rule doesn“t apply to celebrities. But on the other hand, you do get celebrities that want to work hard. So I don“t quite mind their admission being easy if they are willing to put on the work afterwards. Marvin: Lowering admission requirements for celebrities is unfair to those students who spare
8、their efforts to enter a college by examination and fair competition. If universities lower admission requirements for celebrities, some students will lose their chances to go to colleges for an unfair reason. And that is not good for carrying out our national policy in fair education. For another,
9、this kind of action will set a negative example for people in that celebrities have a great influence on our society. If universities treat the celebrities as special figures, more and more people will use these similar examples as an excuse to seek some special treatment in various areas, which wil
10、l abet the corruption in our society. A Chinese college student: Many celebrities are not good enough to get into colleges, I mean in terms of academic abilities. After they enter the colleges and universities, they will find it very hard to keep up with their classmates and to follow the teachers a
11、nd courses there. Actually, in 2010 a Chinese university kicked out an Olympic gold medal winner, because she didn“t get enough credits. I think that it is bad for the celebrity and the college. It is a waste of time and energy of the celebrity and a waste of social resources. （分数：14.00）_2.题目要求：In A
12、ugust 2015, the Ministry of Education in China issued a policy, encouraging the colleges to list the traditional Chinese culture as a compulsory course. This policy was applauded by many believing those courses will cultivate students“ awareness of traditional Chinese culture. However, this policy a
13、lso met some disagreements. The following are opinions from two sides.

14、y, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Experts Lu Hongli, of Tongzhou“s Teacher Research and Training Center: Traditional Chinese culture should not lose its grip on young Chinese as it is good for their moral development and the
15、 cultivation of their character. Some wisdom delivered through the Chinese classics might help the young deal with the challenges in their own life. We try to find innovative ways to instill traditional culture into students, such as chanting the classics with morning gymnastics and holding couplet-
16、writing competition. They gradually develop an aesthetic sense of Chinese classics and the spirit of Chinese culture. Zhang Jian, Secretary-general of the China Traditional Culture and Art Center: Traditional Chinese culture will inevitably be included in China“s college entrance examination. That w
17、ill provide a stimulus for students in primary and middle schools to learn traditional culture. And consequently it is very logical and coherent for the colleges to open some traditional Chinese culture compulsory courses. But testing is not the ultimate goal. The learning process will undoubtedly i
18、mprove students“ moral standards and nurture their love for China“s cultural legacy. Students Zhang Jiawei: I think it is not bad to have some traditional Chinese culture courses in colleges. But I don“t think it is necessary to have them as compulsory courses. Because when we talk about compulsory
19、courses, students will pay more attention to the grades or credits they can get from the courses. More often than not, the case will be like, the teachers will provide a list of questions and answers before the exams. And the students just learn those answers. In that case, they will not really lear
20、n some traditional Chinese culture, instead they just lean1 some answers and forget them the next day after the exams. Xiao Huahua: I like to have some traditional Chinese culture courses in my college. But I don“t like the idea of having them as compulsory courses. In my college, sometimes one or t
21、wo famous experts on traditional Chinese culture deliver some lectures on different topics. When they come, many students attend their lectures and I enjoy those lectures greatly. Their lectures help me know something about various aspects of traditional Chinese culture. Once I remember we had a ver
22、y elegant lady show us chadao; how to perform the traditional Chinese way of having tea. I was quite amazed by the practice. After her performance, I went online to search some information and videos about chadao. I find it very interesting. So I think it is a matter of interest and should not be so

25、n and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Parents RexTEC (China): I“d like to take care of my child by myself, but the reality is that my wife and I have to work in another city which is far away from our hometown. We have to leave our child in t
26、he hometown with my parents before we have the ability to move our baby and parents to the city. I think most young couples who are working far away from home face a similar predicament. RAJEE (India): Grandparents are indeed an important part of a growing child“s life. But in my case they are so in
27、dulgent that it can really get very annoying. I am unable to discipline my daughter and inculcate good habits as they indulge her every whim and it is to them that she runs when she gets in trouble. Grandparents Austin (the UK): As a grandparent in the UK of four, ages 12, 9, 8 and 4, I can say that
28、 a fairly high percent of grandparents that have close contact with their own children do take steps to “day sit“ their grandchildren while their own children go to work. My children, two girls, live very close to me, both living on the same street. We do look after children very often, because both
29、 my girls work in our business so we all pull together as and when needed. ROGERINCA (the US): I think that whenever possible a child should be raised by his or her parents. This is what is most natural and what is best for the child. Taking me myself as an example, with advancing age I find I am no
30、t having enough energy or able to physically do all the things to my grandson that younger parents are able to do with their child. Experts Wyldsyde (Australia): Grandparents raised their children and should not be the eyeryday parents of their grandchildren. Raising children is the parents“ job. I
31、see people all too often dumping their children off on other people for no other reason than they want to go partying or for other reasons. You had the kids, now raise them. If it means that one of you works nights while the other works days then so be it. Stop pushing your duties off on other peopl
32、e. Bex (China): It is not a good phenomenon that grandparents look after grandchildren. Grandparents have been working all their lives so they deserve a break. Most importantly, the parents should take more responsibilities of their own children. If you decide to have a kid, you“d better be capable
33、to look alter him or her. Sharkminnow (Canada): In Canada, children are not brought up by their grandparents. Young adults are taught to be independent and take care of their own kids. Grandparents can visit, but they do not live in the house or raise the children. If young people in Canada are not
34、independent, financially stable to have children, then they are discouraged from doing so. Many Westerners think Chinese are immature and spoil this way in the fact that they just have their parents raise their kids. （分数：14.00）_4.题目要求：It is estimated that China now has around 130 kinds of local lang
35、uages, but 99 are used by fewer than 100,000 people, and 20 are used by less than 1,000 people. Most of them are disappearing from our map of language. So whether dialects should be allowed on air to preserve them? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and writ

37、rist I think the main CCTV channels should remain in putonghua, but programmes can be shown in local dialects on local channels, ideally with subtitles or captioning available, especially in the case of news programming. Tyne While many people say that as a form of mass media, TV and radio broadcast
38、ers are obligated to take the lead in popularizing standard putonghua. It is not a move to oppress dialects; it is only to restrict irresponsible use of language in mass media such as slang, which is very unprofessional. maplerripple Apart from CCTV, all broadcasters should be commercially based. If
39、 people want programs in their own dialects and are willing to pay for them or companies are willing to buy commercials, why should the government intervene and lay down some crazy laws? PNP Putonghua is the national language of China, and it should be promoted everywhere, particularly on TV and the
40、 radio! It is the lingua france, the language that everyone in China is supposed to understand, a powerful unifying force among a nation of diverse dialectic groups! Dialects are localized languages, not widely used throughout China, just confined to the various dialectic groups, hence they should n
41、ot be promoted via the mass media, certainly not on TV or the radio, not even on local stations! All local stations must help promote the national language, putonghua! It is very annoying for most people to hear dialects on TV or the radio because they can“t understand what is said, unless they belo
42、ng to that dialectic group. The role of the mass media is to communicate important messages to people all over China; this would be defeated if dialects are popping up so often. Keep the dialects to the coffee shops, street markets, etc. , but not on TV or the radio. Another very important reason wh
43、y only putonghua, and no dialects, should be allowed on air, is that it is the only language that most foreigners have learned before or after arriving in China, and this is the only language that can bridge the communication gap between them and the locals. Imagine how problematic it would be for a
44、 foreigner travelling through China; he has to learn each of those local dialects as he travels to different provinces, if putonghua is not used widely there! And by the way, this problem is not limited to foreigners only, even the Chinese face the same problem. A Chinese from Shandong traveling to
45、Guangdong is not going to be able to understand the guy in Guangdong who speaks Cantonese instead of putonghua, and vice versa! I strongly urge that putonghua be promoted and used widely, for the benefit of all, both the locals and foreigners! ngajia Cantonese has 9 tones, not 6. By the linguists“ r
46、ule: the more tones a language has, the more ancient it is; the most authentic Chinese dialect should be Cantonese. This could well he true as classical poems recited in Cantonese bring out both the spirit and soul, such as the poem Manjianghong composed by the great patriot general Yuefei, who has
47、a temple built in his honor by Lake Xihu in Hangzhou. （分数：14.00）_5.题目要求：Nowadays, the mobile phone seems to be a must for everyone. Although a large number of children have mobiles until recently, it has often been the case that schools banned the use of mobiles. Do the good things about every child
