Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The most important goal of education is to teach people how to educate themselves.
I disagree
Para.1: It is an overstatement to claim so.
Para.2: Admittedly, teaching people how to educate themselves is one of the important goals of education. 解釋一下. However, to consider this to be the most important goal is a piece of overemphasis, for there are several other goals of education, which are as important, or even more important than this.

12
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Telephones are playing a more effective role than television in people’s lives.
I disagree
Both telephones and television play an effective role in our daily life.
1. Telephones makes communication easier and more convenient.(以前人們通訊非常麻煩，而且信件不僅速度慢而且容易丟失，電話的發(fā)明使得人們之間的溝通變得更加輕松，尤其是遠(yuǎn)距離的溝通交流)
2. Television offers people the updated information as well as public entertainment.(電視可以實(shí)時播報世界各地發(fā)生的事件，而且可以提供電視劇、綜藝節(jié)目供人們欣賞)
13
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Workers would be more satisfied if they have various kinds of work to do during workday instead of doing the same job all day long.
Currently, there is a widespread belief that workers should do similar tasks all day long to improve the efficiency. From my perspective, however, during the workday, workers will be more satisfied if they have a variety of tasks to do.
In the first place, workers will get tired easily if they keep doing the same type of task for a long time. As is known to all, people will become tired and lose efficiency if they concentrate on the same thing for a long time, for their brains cannot have a rest. This will further create risk of making mistakes or even physical injuries if the person keeps the same body gesture for a long time. By contrast, different types of tasks provide workers with the opportunity to shift their minds and make them less tired during the work. For example, my brother, Jeff, used to complain that he felt the efficiency decreased as time passed during the workday. Jeff is a computer engineer in a big company and he used to spend a whole day sitting in front of his computer to write the codes and check them. Such repetitive work made him bored and he could not focus on his work after several hours. When the executive of the company found this problem, he changed the work mode. Now, Jeff does not need to spend the whole day in front of his computer; he has other tasks to do, such as helping with the workstation outside, talking with the clients and so on. This makes Jeff more satisfied and he never complains his job again.
Furthermore, by doing a variety of tasks, a person can develop skills in different areas. This can help the person with his or her career development because the worker has more skills to apply for a greater range of jobs. In modern society, a person with several skills is easier to achieve success. In contrast, if a worker always does the same thing, he/she may lose many opportunities to be promoted as long as there is someone better than him/her. For example, my cousin, Jackson, works in a big company after graduation and his daily work involves a lot of things, including arranging the conference, negotiating with other companies, drawing the market plan for the department and so on. Thanks to the valuable experience he accumulates in those different tasks, he has been promoted to be the sales manager. While one of his classmates, Tom, working in another company, still works as an ordinary clerk, as Tom only does the same task every day and does not have any advantage to compete with others. It is evident that different tasks offer workers various skills and help them to succeed.
In conclusion, workers are more satisfied when they have many different types of tasks to do during the workday due to the avoiding of tiredness and the skills gained from those different tasks.

2. More parents attach much importance to education and become cooperative.(隨著社會競爭的不斷激烈，更多的家長想通過優(yōu)質(zhì)教育使得自己的孩子在未來的工作中有一定的競爭力，所以家長會更重視孩子的教育培養(yǎng)，并且積極配合教師的相關(guān)教學(xué)工作)
