7、 young person are entitled to experience a broad general education. Even if a student does not aim to be a professional musician they should still have the opportunity to learn an instrument. A career is not the only, or the most important, part of an adults lifeschool needs to make sure they have i
8、nterests and skills that will help them in their family and leisure life too. Megan: Extra-curricular activities are prohibitively expensive for schools. Giving a greater place in education to the extra-curriculum means that many more clubs and activities will have to be organised for students. This
9、 will be very expensive as it will require more staff and more resources to be paid for. This explains why most schools that currently offer a large extra-curriculum are well-funded fee-paying institutions. Nimmo: Extra-curricular activities have important health benefits. Most extra-curricular acti
10、vities are physically active, getting the students out from behind their desks and making them try new things. Physical activity is extremely important for general health whilst ensuring that students are exposed to practical tasks, not just what is taught in class. Sport clubs and teams give studen
11、ts the opportunity to do physical exercise in an enjoyable environment. TVO: Making extra-curricular activities compulsory makes them less attractive to students. It will take the fun out of it and strip it of its benefits. In the end, the key is fun. Successful extra-curricular groups work precisel
12、y because the students have voluntarily chosen to be there. If some were forced to take part, they would be less enthusiastic and spoil the activity for the rest. And the more the activity is like ordinary school, the less attractive it will be to young people. Most of the personal development benef
13、its associated with extra-curricular commitmentssuch as altruistic service, initiative-taking, and leadership skillscome from the voluntary nature of the activity. Estelle: Extra-curricular activities encourage interpersonal interactions that are good for building a strong civil society. Boosting th
14、e place of the extra-curriculum in schools is one way of addressing a weakness in modern society, a lack of civil strength and community. Activities offered in schools are vital in providing opportunities to learn the diverse skills, and helping to equip young people with the civic spirit, initiativ
15、e and organizing skills to set up their own clubs, teams and activity groups when they leave education. A successful extra-curriculum often depends on building links between the school and the wider community, bringing local enthusiasts in to work with students, and sending students out to work on c
16、ommunity projects. Nicola: Students should focus on gaining the specialist skills they need for their chosen professions. Most specialist professions still provide a range of career opportunities, without any need to compromise academic education by over-emphasis on non-academic activities. There ar
17、e concerns that schools do not focus enough on core subjects. School-leavers and even graduates lack basic literacy and numeracy skills, according to a survey of big employers. （分数：14.00）_3.题目要求：It is estimated that China now has around 130 kinds of local languages, but 99 are used by fewer than 100
18、,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?

20、ld 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 broadcasters are obligated to take the lead in po
21、pularizing 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 people want programs in their own diale
22、cts 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 radio! It is the lingua france, the lan
23、guage 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 not be promoted via the mass media, certa
24、inly 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 cant understand what is said, unless they belong to that dialectic group. The role of t
25、he 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 why only putonghua, and no dialects, should
26、 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 foreigner travelling through China; he h
27、as 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 Guangdong is not going to be able to unde
28、rstand 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 rule: the more tones a language has, the mo
29、re 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 a temple built in his honor by Lake Xihu i

Jessica Herrin, the founder of Stella & Dot: Being a green hand, you will benefit much more and learn much faster in a well-known organization. You should find th
38、e biggest pond you can, and dont worry about your relative size. Being a big fish in a small pond sucksyou will hit the ceiling on what you can achieve quickly, and nobody will care. Optimize at all times for being in the most dynamic and exciting pond you can find. That is where the great opportuni
39、ties can be found. Graduates Uni-king from China: Nobody would like to be controlled by others, so the best choice is to be a big fish in a small pond. But there is a problem of money and experience. My suggestion is: at the beginning, you work in a company and work for others; and when you have eno
40、ugh money and much experience, you can set up your own company, and thus, you become a big fish in a small pond. Chester from India: Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where I am more likely to be promoted. To be frank, Id rather become a well-known and important figure within my own
41、 small pond than swim as an unknown and small shrimp in a big golden pond. I dont feel like listening to others all the time and pretending Im inferior to them. I enjoy the feeling of being a decision maker. Lucien from Australia: The big fish is a fun position. I set the standards, I do the mentori
42、ng; the success or failure of the strategy is on me, and that pressure forces me to get up every, day and be great. It gives me a sense of satisfaction to be my own master.

43、d. （分数：16.50）_6.题目要求：In terms of attitudes to creativity there seems to be a reversal of priorities: young Westerners making their boldest departures first and then gradually mastering the tradition; and young Chinese being almost inseparable from the tradition, but over time, possibly evolving to a

Chinese Lily: Solid and basic skills are the base of successful creativity. Only when one masters the basic skills of tradition well, can he go f
46、urther and learn things completely. Without basic skills, creativitys just bullshit! Take writing for example. Writing a novel is beyond possibility if you cant even make a grammatically correct sentence. Anyway, I have been practicing playing piano everyday since I was four years old. And now I can
47、 make my own small tunes. Marilyn: I am afraid that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired. On the other hand, there is no comparable hurry to promote creativity. Even though we Chinese dont talk creativity much, enormous creativity can be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present, and they start from our very tradition. Dick: Those seemingly basic and elementary skills we have learned in school actually play a significantly indispensable role in our future work. Maybe you dont like the dull reading, writing or
