答:What kind of education we have before?That is easy to know, because almost all people have been to school when they were kids.I still remember when I was a kid, countless booklets waited for me on the table, but my teachers said school had already reduced lots of homework for us.If now young kids are still following this kind of educating rules, they will have no time to learn new things, which show up rapidly day by day.Current education system is welcomed to become the more humanized learning system, with sorting to several levels and several fields for different students who have different hobbies and talents.Our education should no longer focuson higher scores by spending all times on writing assignments and memorizing essays, but need to have all kinds of courses such as painting and dancing during normal school hours.This mode can have very good results that it can let kids know what things they truly love when they are only a couple years old.

How to improve the quality of education

How to improve the quality of education is a hot topic in our society. Some people say that high school students should be encouraged to evaluate and criticize their teachers. But some other people disagree with such a method, which will result in loss of respect and discipline in the classroom. In this essay, I would like to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this method and give some suggestions.

There are lots of merits to encourage students to express their opinions openly in the classroom. One of reasons is that such action can give teachers more pressure, which will makes them work harder and try their best to reduce mistakes. For example, teachers should be more careful and responsible of what they are teaching and read more books to enrich their knowledge. The other reason lies in these evaluations will give students more freedom, courage, and confidence, which will influence them positively in a long term. There is lots of obvious evidence by comparing the educational system in western countries and that in China. The first one encourages the evaluation, under which most of the students are more confident and brave. But most of the students under Chinese educational system are coward and lack of the courage to express their opinions.

But like every coin has two sides, the open criticism and evaluation will produce lots of bad influences. The first shortcoming is these actions will incur mess and discipline in the classroom. For instance, students may insult their teachers in the process of evaluation, which is the sign of unrespectable action. The other drawback is that some teachers may be pay more attention to the pleasure of students rather than teaching quality, which will do harm to the development of pupils.

In my opinion, I support the encouragement of open evaluation, though youths should be careful of the degree by which all the students should abide. Also we can find that the critical system pay more emphasizes on the aspect of teachers rather than the students. We know that the improvement of educational quality lies in the efforts from both students and teachers, so both of them should work in groups to enhance the quality of education.

5.Write a passage onliving in a big city. The passage should be about 120 words. Your passage may be based on the following information.

(1) List some advantages of living in a big city.

(2) Describe some disadvantages of living in a big city.

(3) Give some advice about improving life quality in a big city.

答:How to solve the housing problem in big cities is one of the most serious problems in modern life. More and more people find it difficult to perform their normal family and work duties because they have no place to live or they are short of housing, which needs to be solved urgently because it will lead to social unrest and economic inefficiency. Some people suggest that the solution to this problem is to build more high-rise apartments, while others prefer to build underground residential areas.

I prefer the first idea, because it is cheaper to build on the ground than under the ground. People prefer to live in the open air and watch the sun. The second idea is not very practical, one of the reasons is that it is erous to build residential areas under streets and buildings, and the other is that it takes too much time and the number of people waiting for the house to increase, which makes the problem worse.
