approaches superior to others?

A：Hey girls, is there a contrast between learning approaches in China and the West?

A: So what about it in America?

B: The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later.

B: Thus, you agree that Chinese learning approaches are inferior to the West.

C: Yeah, I think so.

D: But such an approac h can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.”

worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds. Do you all agree?

successful. Hard work is fundamental for a person’s success.

C: I can’t agree with you more. A man with a dream who doesn’t attach great importance to hard work can’t be successful forever.

i mportant to a person’s success. First, a man should have a dream then he has a passion to work hard. At last,

he succeeds.

A: Er, in my country, women neglect Women’s Day, up to now, women are looked down upon a little. For example, my mother is a housewife, and she does much more housework than my father, I don’t like it.

B: On the contrary, women in my country are playing a more and more important role in modern world. Since both men and women are equally important in human activities, they should be on an equal footing.

C: Most people, even women themselves, believe that women in China have achieved equality. They think women now have helped up half the sky. They can take up almost all the professions only occupied by men and can even receive equal pay for equal work.

D: Despite the enormous strides women have made, I argue that Chinese women still have a long way to go in their struggle for real equality in every field of the society. Obviously with the changes in their social role, women’s position in the family has been improved and they’re making their impact felt in all walks of life.

A: So I must buy a gift and say” happy women’s Day” to my mom.

A: When it comes to whether it’s worthwhile to spend a lot of time and effort learning English, opinions vary from person to person. Some claim that it’s reasonable for everybody to learn English, whereas others reject to it.

B: I think only when we grasp the English can we keep up with the pace of the world. With the

development of china, more and more companies flood into our land. By holding English-speaking ability, we can adapt to the society more quickly and easier.

C: However, I re inforce the opposite idea. On the one hand, in some area, the workers needn’t use English.

Learning English for them is unnecessary. On the other hand, many of them can’t learn it well. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

D: Weighing the pros and cons, I agree with the latter. The primary reason, I think, is that it’s the skill that English is, such as math and physics, which can’t be entirely comprehended by everyone. What’s more,

many people lack the passion for understanding it. You shouldn’t l et him do the things he dislikes.

B: I see, you may lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.

D: As far as I’m concerned, we’d better lead they do the things they love.

C: God is fair. When he closes one of your windows, he’ll open up another.

A: Frankly speaking, sparing no effort in learning English, you may just gain nothing but sorrow. Turing around, your life ship perhaps sail into the sunny coast. It’s just my opinion.

ABCD: That’s all, thank you!
