Part I Writing
1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled
Education Fever based on the statistics provided in the chart below(Family Spending
on Education in China). Please give a brief description of the chart first and then make
comments on it. You should write at least120 words but no more than 180 words.
Family Spending on Education in China Source: iResearch, Jefferies
Education Fever
正确答案： Education Fever From the graph above, we can easily
observe that family spending on education in China has a steady increase in the past
decade, with the number reaching 983 billion in 2013, which nearly triples the
number in 2004. Many factors contribute to the ever-increasing education
spending, “letting children win at the starting line” being one of them. Many parents
spend a lot of money on pre-school education. They try to send kids to the best
kindergartens whose tuition fees are much higher than that of universities. Choosing
better primary and middle schools also takes money. Normally, students must attend
schools within the district where they live. However, many parents prefer to send their
children to a better-known school in other districts regardless of the large sum of
“donations”. Apart from formal education, parents also pay their children for various
after-school programs, from common painting or dancing classes to expensive
overseas summer camps. There is nothing wrong with parents’ passion for
education, but parents should keep in mind that spending more money doesn’t
necessarily guarantee a better education for children. Money should be put where it
matters most.
