Does Higher Education Cease to Be Useful?
1. 大学生毕业找工作难，有人开始宣扬高等教育无用论
2. 反驳说明这一观点是错的
3. 得出结论
参考范文：
In the current climate of rising college fees and tight job market, the functions of higher education is arousing public concern. Having a degree or not seems not to make any difference to our life and may not necessarily guarantee a good job and income.
Students who attend higher education obtain a wide range of personal, financial and other lifelong benefits. First of all, the whole experiences of university life including all the academic lectures and social practices forge our personality and cultivate such virtues as cooperativeness and openness. In addition, according to the statistics, there is a trendy correlation between higher level of education and higher earnings despite the fierce job hunting competition. University is a huge advantage if we need to acquire expertise to practice in a meaningful profession.
In my opinion, it would be wise to attend university. Having a decent degree and being broadly intelligent may not guarantee us success, but it makes us a candidate.

the ccp has been prone to laud itself as the champion of womens liberation. right from the start, however, the ccp-revolutionaries seemed to have had a dual, and even contradictory approach to questions where women were positioned in the revolutionary process, and this has influenced the way in which women were represented in propaganda posters. on the one hand, there was the demand from the party that women were to be shown in their entire liberated splendor, as conscious and active participants in the great enterprise of reconstructing (socialist) china. the liberation of the female half of the population had attracted a lot of support for the ccp. various policies the ccp had eperimented with had been codified into legislation after coming to power in 1949. but in the eyes of many women intellectuals at the time, even these measures were not radical enough.
old-fashioned artistic ideas about the representation of women proved to be tenacious. by the early 20th century, a relatively well-established visual tradition had come into eistence that treated women as objects that could be consumed by the male gaze. numerous companies, both foreign and native, had settled in the treaty ports and the foreign settlements along the eastern seaboard. the advertising agencies the manufacturers brought with them promoted the use and appreciation of western art techniques in their advertisements. the advertising posters featured delectable young women, beautiful actresses and popular singers in colorful and tantalizing shanghai dresses (qi pao), endorsing various products, ranging from cigarettes and alcoholic beverages to fabrics and pesticides. the advertisments often were designed by chinese artists such as li mubai, jin meisheng and jin uechen, to cater to the specific chinese sense of aesthetics. most of them were calendars (yuefenpai) that were given away as free promotional gifts and hung up in homes and offices. this commercial printed matter became enormously popular, and its influence spread beyond advertising to other types of publications and design practice in general, where it became synonymous with modernity.even though these materials turned women into objects that served both commercial and titillating purposes, the genre as a whole nonetheless was seen by many as supportive of the demands for the emancipation of women. instead of treating females as non-entities as confucian orthodoy had prescribed, the posters not merely showed them, but presented them as gorgeously dressed, professional women that radiated an air of self-confidence. to many, these modeng [modern] girls were a reflection of womens search for a separate identity. the supporters of the calendar girls thus included many of the women who themselves were actively involved in the political struggle for womens liberation.
with the founding of the prc, both the theory and practice of the chinese advertising industry had to change completely. the designers of the commercial calendars, well versed in design techniques and able to visualize a product in a commercially attractive way, were quickly co-opted and incorporated in the various government and army organizations devoted to the production of propaganda posters. but they and their works continued to be regarded with suspicion by the representatives of the new ruling elite. and even though the officials from the cultural bureaucracy that took over had to admit that these designers could make rather acceptable new new year pictures, at the same time they could not refrain from allegations that their works still were marred by numerous political shortcomings.while these cultural authorities insisted that they did nothing more than pass on the correct proletarian viewpoints of (female) representatives of the masses, they usually complained that the artists still lacked the proper ideological standpoint. they acknowleged that the designers dutifully attempted to follow the new rules and regulations pertaining to the arts by producing scenes set in industry or agriculture. in some cases, the artists were accused of tending to depict elegant modern city girls, with highly patterned blouses and scarves, pale skins and manicured hands, much in the vein of the starlets who had been shown endorsing soap or cigarettes.these times, however, called for the depiction of peasant or working women taking obvious pride in their work, but whose faces and hands had been marked by unrelenting sunshine and hard labor. in the views of the laboring masses that the art critics allegedly had consulted, such images lacked verisimilitude: nobody in the villages or factories looked like these women. moreover, no woman dressed in the latest fashions was able to take part in hard physical labor while still looking as spic and span as the poster models did.
when looking at the practice of depicting women for propaganda purposes, it is safe to say that the pretty girl pictures continued to dominate the world of the propaganda poster, with the eception of the periods when high maoism was the norm. was this done in an attempt to make the latters message more palatable to the population? or was it simply because such representations could be read as a way of discounting women as revolutionary contenders, as epressions of the widely held belief that women were more interested in matters of clothing and physical appearance than men? whatever the reason, attractive female forms were used for political propaganda purposes in a manner very similar to commercial advertising, a practice that also has been noted by chinese writers.

Due Attention Should Be Given to Speaking
Nowadays fewer and fewer students pay attention to their spoken English, which results in a dramatic increase in the number of students who can spell English words but are incapable of speaking them fluently or correctly. This phenomenon has aroused many peoples attention.
Why does such a phenomenon emerge? As far as Im concerned, there are possibly two reasons contributing to this phenomenon. On the one hand, exam-oriented education makes many schools lay emphasis on passing the English exams, which leads to the lack of speaking environment for students to practice their spoken English. On the other hand, students themselves dont realize the importance of the ability to speak English which has a great influence on their future
study and career development.
To change this situation, I think, we can take the following measures. First, the importance of oral English should be emphasized to raise students awareness of the necessity of speaking English. Second, exams should be modified to make students pay attention to their spoken English. Third, schools can organize various activities to arouse students interest in speaking English.
英语作文 篇6
as the saying goes, you don’t know what happiness is until you lose it’ you don’t know what health is until you are ill. “health is of vital importance to life” sounds like a cliche to everyone, but it is absolutely true.
the negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul, the harmful habits such as smoking, ecessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. how many big plans are interrupted by bad health! even a normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health.
how to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy. regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources, one should do at least two things for him/herself. first, hold an active and optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being. second, live a regular life and keep a balanced diet. anyway, a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your mind and body.

standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. as such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries.
colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more formal situations. almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage by the majority.
colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.
colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. in some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories.
every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events. it has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. first, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.
finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard" "colloquial" and "slang" exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language. only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. most speakers of english will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.
英语作文 篇8
我们学校有许多美丽地景点，我最难忘的却是那如诗如画的“英语角”。现在，请大家和我一起去游览那英语角吧。
英语角处在旧教学楼的后方，往英语角走去，首先映入眼帘的是一座拱形门。门好似一座小桥架在墙上，门上写着“熙园”两个大字。
继续往里走，一棵高大的桂花树耸立在我的面前。每到初秋，微风吹过，一阵浓浓的桂花香便扑鼻而来，令人心旷神怡。有时桂花星星点点地飘落下来，我捡起一朵，一闻，一股香气沁入心扉。
走下几层台阶，两座蘑菇形的亭子一大一小、高矮不一、颜色各异，像两把大伞撑在那里。它的两旁挺立着几株铁树，像卫兵一样保护着蘑菇亭。透过树缝，看见英语墙，英语墙上画着几个小朋友在那儿做英语游戏。
再往前走，远远看见英语板上的英语单词和句子。几位同学正在熟读英语板上的单词和句子，他们有的靠在墙上读英语，有的面对面地背英语单词，有的用英语说故事，有的……我走近他们，但他们好像没有察觉似的，继续读英语，你看他们多么投入啊!这时，来了一位外教老师，他们便立刻上前和外教老师交谈，他们和外教老师交流得非常流利，外教老师还不住地点头呢，我可真羡慕他们，就连我也想加入他们的行列。但凭我的英语水平，想和外教老师交谈还相差很远，我真佩服他们的勇气，虽说他们有的'英语不很好，但比我勇敢。我以后必须努力学好英语，碰上外教老师能流利地和他交谈，那该多好啊!走出英语角，同学们的琅琅读书声还不时飘荡在我的耳旁呢!
英语角是同学们的学习乐园，也是同学们的游戏场所。我爱校园这美丽的一角。
