當學生來到新學校時會麵臨各種問題，學校如何幫助他們？
1 學校應該為學生提供技術幫助
段落大意：為了讓學生跟上不斷更新進步的技術，學校應該提供技術信息的支持。
In today's world of technology, computers have become part of our everyday life.

If you think your educational expenses are more than you and your family can afford, you should apply for it.

15~18歲的小孩的重要事情應該由其父母或成年親屬決定。你是否同意？
1 家長在孩子生活中的作用
段落大意：家長應該參與孩子的成長，在生活上給予他們足夠的幫助。
Parents need to be involved in their children's education and give them daily support in the home environment. Children need to feel recognized for their hard work so that they can feel good about themselves. It is imperative that the children see that they are of importance to their parents because this would help them psychologically as they are growing up. I think that as a parent they need to inculcate a desire for education in and outside of the home environment. It is essential for the parents to participate as much as they can in their children's schoolwork and if possible in the classroom.
2 家長的建議對孩子成長的幫助和影響
段落大意：好的建議對孩子成長的幫助和影響。
Good advice is something that could be hard to come-by. But once found, it can help a person in the long run. Good advice is usually taken from someone who is an expert, someone that the advisee respects （parent, elder, teacher, coach）. Advice can be used at any time, any time you are stuck, or just in a situation in which you need help, or just advice to do a certain task, or to help you out in a situation.
126 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
年輕人沒有東西可以教年長的人。你是否同意這一觀點？
1 年輕人寶貴的創新精神
段落大意：創新精神十足的年輕人可以教給其他人創新的重要性。
Nowadays creativity and innovation are becoming extremely important to the success of all business organizations because they are facing major and rapid changes in the environment. To cope effectively with the change, organizations must become more innovative, develop the ability to plan quickly and implement adoptions to change their environments. There is a direct link between creativity and important organizational outcomes such as productivity and quality, because creative thinking increases the quality of solutions to organizational problems, helps to stimulate profitable innovations, revitalizes motivation, upgrades personal skills and catalyzes effective team performance. Therefore organizations must motivate creative thinking because it is obvious that the success of businesses in the rapidly changing future will be determined by their ability to become more creative.
2 年輕人熟悉新的科技
段落大意：年輕人可以教給長輩們關於電腦的技術。
There is hardly anybody around who can say their lives haven't been influenced by computers. Computers have all but taken over society as we know it. Everywhere you look, computers have greatly improved our lives. It can be as simple as going through a carwash; a computer processes the information that we feed it and adjusts the machine accordingly to give us the particular wash we paid for. Computers also play an extremely complicated role in one of the things that everybody uses in their everyday lives, such as our cars.
175 Some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the talking) in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? Give specific reasons and details to support your choice.

1 老師的幫助監督對學生學習的好處
段落大意：有老師的監督和幫助，學習會更加容易和有效。
Having a teacher always makes the learning easy and efficient. When you make a mistake, the teacher can immediately point it out so that you won't make the same mistake again later. This is obvious while you are learning a language. You will never know if you have any mistakes in your pronunciation if there is not a teacher beside you, teaching you to pronounce in the correct way. Since the teacher is keeping on track of your studying, he or she will know what your weaknesses are, and thus find a way to help you out. The teacher might tell you his/her own experience, how he or she becomes successful in the subject you are studying, or even the mistakes he/she has made, warning you not to make the same mistake again.
2 老師的指導和建議對學生學習的作用
段落大意：老師在學生學習的過程中可以提供各種指導、幫助和建議，對學生的學習很有好處。
Primarily teachers are there for guidance in a particular field or subject. They give you a systematic way to approach a subject. A teacher normally teaches a subject in which he or she has expertise in. Hence that person has made a study of the subject and can guide you in order to help you approach the subject in a better way. This guidance may be in the form of giving you names of reference books or giving you notes. Without a teacher，it would be extremely cumbersome to go through large libraries for a certain topic. Besides this，the teacher could provide you help with any sort of problem that you come across while studying. The teacher could provide you strategies that help you solve a problem. Without a teacher, this problem would take up a lot of your valuable time and remain unsolved. Teachers can also point out when you are going wrong. They point out your mistakes and suggest ways for you to correct them.
3 現代科技使得學生自學具備可行性
段落大意：學生可以借助現代科技的幫助，自己學習。
Some people think that they can learn better with the help of books and computers. Certainly, modern technology has made our lives easier in every aspect. Today, computers have almost eliminated the need of most paperback books. Students can get the study materials over the Internet now. But in my opinion, no matter how advanced the technologies may become, the need of a good teacher can't ever be over-stated.
163 Is the ability to read and write more important today than in the past? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
讀寫能力是否比以前更重要？為什麼？
1 讀寫對於培養下一代的重要意義
段落大意：讀寫能力對孩子的成長和發展很有好處，有利於孩子在社會上取得成功。
In any literate society, people constantly see the best way to teach children how to read and write so that the younger generation can become fully functioning members of that society. This is obviously an important goal of any society that wants their children to be well educated and succeed in the world. Learning to be literate is a very important developmental milestone that is recognized cross-culturally.
2 讀寫能力給孩子提供很多學習機會
段落大意：讀寫能力是學生融入學校環境的保障，可以為學生提供多種學習機會。
When becoming literate, the most important thing a child can learn is that they can in fact learn in the way their school wants them to. The bond between the teacher and the taught is strengthened; exploration, discovery, ambition and achievement expand and flourish. Reading and writing opens up a new world of opportunities for children, and therefore continuous research is being done in order to ensure that the best methods of teaching our children are implemented. However, studies show that a large portion of this milestone occurs before formal education begins.
020 It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.
小孩在農村成長比在大城市要好。你是否同意這一觀點？
1 家庭環境對教育的影響
段落大意：家庭環境對孩子的教育和成功有著重要的意義。
Children from middle-class families generally are more successful in public schools than children from low-income families. Is the school system responsible for this problem, or is lower performance among low-income children a result of their home environment? The home environment has a big role in a child's education.
2 農村生活的好處
段落大意：農村汙染少，教學質量有保障，交通相對便利，對孩子的成長有好處。
One major issue affecting many people trying to make the decision on where to live is their quality of life in either extreme. Health, education, transportation are three major concerns that many consider. In a city, pollution could possibly cause health problems later in life. In the country, pollution is scarce —there are fresh air and rolling green hills. In the country, childhood education is significantly better than in a large city; smaller class size and larger budgets create excellent learning environments. Transportation is very accessible in country environments. Public transportations, by way of subways, busses and ferries, are cheap and easy ways of getting around counties.
004 It has been said,“Not everything that is learned is contained in books.”Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
不是所有的東西都能從書本中學來。比較經驗知識和書本知識，哪個更重要？
1 社會經驗能夠使孩子更加容易理解知識
段落大意：孩子們能從社會經驗中得到很多寶貴的東西；知識在實踐中可以得到更加深入的理解。
Teenager students can learn things not only from the school but also from the society by working. Knowledge can be reinforced through the true life; they will know more real cases than those only described in the text book. By participating in real life, teenager students can verify what exactly the book tells them. Also, teenager students can be more independent by earning some money paid for their study.
2 書本提供了很多經驗
段落大意：當知識超越我們的經驗時，書本起了重要作用。
Books are valuable when knowledge is beyond the scope of our experiences. Perhaps the most obvious examples are those fluent writers. They write various stories, the scopes of which are far beyond any individual's experiences. Take Joyce Carol Oates for example, her productivity has been prodigious. She has accumulated in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short stories and verses, plays and literary criticism. Although some of them appear to come from her direct observations, her dreams, and her fears, much more is clearly from the experiences of others. Her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers, the television news and talk shows, and the popular magazines of our day.

1 現代教育資源的增加
段落大意：科技教學已經是很重要的教學方式，為教育帶來很多好處。
Modern technology has made it so much easier to obtain educational information for classroom or homework assignments. It offers educational games that stimulate the brain and help children who have difficulties focusing on traditional teaching and learning procedures. College students are even taking advantage of online courses that many colleges are offering as an alternative to physically attending classes. Advances in technology and computers will continue to play an important role in education for many generations to come.
2 更好的福利水平是現代的標誌
段落大意：更好的福利水平為我們提供了保障。
The Welfare State is a system set up in Britain that takes care of its citizens“from the cradle to the grave.”That is, from the day they are born in the hospital to the day they are buried and given a funeral service. This includes responsibilities such as health, education, provision of services and benefits, which ensure that people are looked after and taken care of. In Britain, the Welfare State was set up as a safety net to protect the most vulnerable members of society（widows, pensioners, children, etc.）and to guarantee them a satisfactory level of income, health care, education and housing.
3 現代技術的發展是時代的進步
段落大意：技術進步使得我們的生活更加方便。
Our everyday life has had so many recent advancements. Along the time, new inventions are becoming available to the public. These inventions will help make the country great and raised above all the others. Many of these new inventions are helping to make our country better because they make some things available in the homes that never were before.
