Sample 1
Leaving Pre-schooners Unchained
Every Friday evening, my five-year-old nephew is unhappy since he has to get up early next morning for a piano lesson instead of having a sound sleep on weekend. Actually, he is just one of the thousands of pre-school children in the city suffering from the overload of a variety of training courses. From my point of view, the disadvantages of overemphasized pre-school education have outweighed its benefits and hampered children’s healthy growth.
First of all, various training courses are a heavy burden to children’s physical development. At this stage children’s physical development makes it difficult for them to adapt to vast amounts of new information. And their fun-loving nature determines that they need games and outdoor activities, just as seedlings long for sunshine. Confined indoors and forced to sit in lectures all day long, lively children may be turned into a group of bookworms with thick glasses and pale faces. Isn’t it sad when that takes place even before the formal schooling begins! Then how can they meet the expectation of becoming backbones of the future society and shouldering up the responsibility to build our nation into a more prosperous one?
Secondly, too much pressure deprives children’s freedom, which is harmful to their psychological development. Parents send their children to training courses of various sorts for fear that their kids are not competent enough in the future. However, parents cannot tell precisely what fits their children and what does not. Every kid is talented in some aspects. Forced learning would only cause tension and strain or even damp the enthusiasm for future study. No adult will tolerate a whole day’s study with no fun and being stuffed with arduous knowledge, let alone children. As the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Last but not least, tuition of such trainings is an extra onerous financial burden for the family budget. A considerable amount of money is consumed on courses ranging from piano lesson to computer class. Sometimes, enrolling in training courses has become so trendy that parents are tempted to climb on the bandwagon. In that case it is the last straw on the camel’s back since the middle-aged parents have already got loads of burdens such as supporting their elderly parents and so on.
As the society becomes increasingly sophisticated, a higher expectation on education grows naturally. However, with a multitude of unsuccessful experiences of pre-schooling, this practice may be regarded as an event with double efforts but half achievement. Childhood, as a major episode of life that produces the happiest and sweetest memory, should be treasured and protected. Therefore, I just call on all parents to unchain your children, to give time back to them.

Pre-school Training Is Beneficial
Nowadays, an overwhelming majority of young parents send their pre-school kids to several training classes of intellectual development of specialty cultivation, which has aroused tremendous concern from the public. As a result, there is a heated discussion at present on whether pre-school training is beneficial or not. Sharing the burning desire of laying a solid foundation for the children’s future success, I totally vote for this early education.
In the first place, it gives high-level starting point for children’s intellectual development. According to educationists, the period of three to five years old is known to be the stage of the utmost mental development in language acquisition and cognitive growth. Since prenatal education is well accepted among common people, there isn’t any reason for parents to ignore such a golden chance of early enlightenment. In the face of keen competition, parents are willing to do their utmost in order to pave the way for their children’s development, to say nothing of discovering potentials and shaping abilities. This is especially the case in the city, where it is deeply believed that, children will envision less difficulty in their later life voyage.
In addition, the classes on some musical instruments, painting, dancing and etc. help to cultivate children’s specialty and foster their interest in life. With passage of time, parents have become more down-to-earth than before. They do not expect the kids to become pianists when sending them to piano lessons, for instance. Children may receive an early education on a certain skill as an entertainment for the rest of their life. In adulthood, they will be grateful to their parents for the decision made for the sake of them.
Lastly, a pre-school education may help children to better accustom themselves to formal schooling. What happens to a child in the pre-school years makes a difference in his attitude towards school learning. When he or she feels familiar with the study materials and environment, it is more likely for him or her to be socially and emotionally ready for the new experience of school. The parents must make an effort to kindle the child’s interests. It is through interest and confidence that a child first senses the pleasure of learning.
In conclusion, pre-school training plays such an important role that it cannot be ignored by parents and the community. And it deserves further attention and dedication from educators and the society.

Sample 1
Students Should Be Required to Wear School Uniform
Of all the great changes that have taken place in the system of compulsory education, school uniform of diverse patterns has proved to be a success. Today, however, a controversy towards school uniform stretches widely as it is feared that such uniform somewhat diminishes the individual personality of students. My opinion is that it is worth the praise it has received.
In the first place, school uniform helps students foster team spirit and strengthen the spirit of cooperation. Providing a sense of unity, the uniform makes everyone feel that he or she is influential and indispensable in the team. Regardless of performance in class or examination, one student is wearing the same clothes as the others and working on his share for the team responsibility. Naturally they will be willing to participate in the team and proud of their contributions. Brought up in this caring and inclusive environment, students will have an easy time functioning in new community and collaborating with coworkers.
In the second place, school uniform reinforces the sense of equality for a diversified student body. School uniform tends to narrow down the discrepancy between students from families of low and high economic status. In this sense it may help lift some psychological obstacles. Owing to school uniform, the bias against poor students will disappear gradually. Had it not been for school uniform, wearing shabby clothes would be a constant reminder of poor family conditions. And what’s worse, they would feel ashamed of whom they are and the low self-esteem may have adverse impacts on study.
Last but not least, school uniform takes effect when accidents occur and the safety of students is endangered. The name or logo of school printed on uniform will help witness to know the victim’s identity and come to timely and efficient aid.
On the whole, students will benefit a great deal from their uniforms for the reasons ranging from their personality cultivation to aids in face of danger. Considering all above factors, it bears no reasoning to abandon school uniform.

Students Get Bored With School Uniform
“Why not wear the school uniform just one day a week? The same clothing makes me feel bored, ”a high school student complained. And other complaints about school uniform are concerned with simple coloring, boring designs and poor quality. Although there exist advantages for wearing school uniform such as making students feel proud of their school, building a spirit of teamwork among students and so on to me, the negative points carry more weight than positive.
To begin with, school uniform contributes more to formality than to building the sense of teamwork among students. School authorities should spare energy in upgrading school infrastructure, equipment as well as teaching quality, to achieve the goal of establishing a sound reputation. Some concrete steps can be taken to create a harmonious atmosphere at school to attract students instead of forcing them to accept a specific label. A better indication should be created to remind the students of the school’s honor and get them proud of the institution wherever they are. Therefore, it is the last thing in plan if students fail to have a sense of belonging and team spirit even wearing the same dress.
To make things worse, wearing dull school uniform deprives young people of the opportunity to unfold their specific properties. Teenagers in modern times possess a burning desire for individuality and uniqueness to differentiate themselves from their peers. As is said in the ancient wisdom, the way of dressing represents the personality of a man. Thus school uniform impedes the development of students’ individuality.
Worst of all, school uniform intensifies the family economic burden besides tuition and other charges of various sorts. With the quickening pace of economic development and inflation, it has become increasingly demanding to rear a child. In most cases, the annual expense on uniform is about 50 to 60 Yuan, a relatively low price which results in the unsatisfactory quality and design. For quite some families, it is still a burden on the finance. Under such paradoxical circumstances, why don’t school authorities abandon the practice of promoting uniforms?
School uniform is not facilitative to teamwork and school reputation. Instead, it dampens students’ individuality and creates further burden for poor families. Hence I’m firmly convinced that requirement of wearing school uniform will undergo a decline with higher awareness of self-respect and individuality.

Teachers Cannot Be Replaced
Human brains may be the most exquisite mechanism on earth, which vary from one to another. And this distinct characteristic determines the existence of teacher as an indispensable profession in the course of education, although Internet and multimedia have significantly simplified and facilitated teaching. I myself share the same idea with those who prefer the traditional method of classroom teaching.
In the first place, teachers can adopt different strategies in accordance with students’ specific developmental traits. Everyone is unique in terms of his endowed gifts, interests and personality. Thus a flexible and individualized way of imparting knowledge is called for in the process of education, which is beyond the intelligence of computers and other modern technology. Take a question in mathematics for example, some students may understand it after teacher's demonstration for the first time; but for those who have no knowledge base or appear relatively slow in mathematic intelligence, the teacher will probably make another way around to drive it home to them. And technically speaking, it is very hard to achieve the same result for a pre-designed educational software! As we all know, it requires extremely sophisticated technology to design a robot able to imitate human beings’ simple behaviors, let alone personalized instruction from teachers.
And furthermore, teachers not only confer knowledge on students, but also make significant contributions to shaping children’s personalities. In the meanwhile of academic study, students are taught how to tell the right from the wrong, how to share and cooperate with others, how to cope with difficulties and unpleasant experiences. Quite some celebrities often recall moral education in their early childhood and attribute their success to their teachers. Sometimes a seemingly trivial event or the teacher's comment may take a far-reaching effect in the rest of the child’s life. How can some artificial intelligence compete against human beings’ wisdom in this respect? Like seedlings, all the appreciated virtues such as integrity, bravery and teamwork need to be fostered by the“gardeners”purposefully. Just as the ancient Chinese saying goes, it takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to educate a person.
Thus both academically and morally, teachers play a vital role in education and could never be possibly replaced by modern technologies. Like a torch, teachers light up the way of human’s d
