1.What are the main tasks of universities: to offer students knowledge and skills essential for their future career, or to provide students with access to knowledge itself? What do you think university education should contain?引入话题，观点提出：提供知识，并提升知识；说明理由：1）正2）反；回答第二个问题Serve a larger population of students that are more culturally and socially diversified.Universities should be perfectly aware of their main tasks : providing students with easy access to knowledge and, at the same time, encouraging them to make active contribution to the advancement of human knowledge.Universities, first, should be the learning communities where knowledge is not only disseminated but also advanced. As full-fledged members of this community, students should not be information recipients who learn the knowledge in a passive way. Instead, they should be challenged to achieve their potential and, indeed, to excel. Therefore, rather than focus merely on knowledge dissemination and transfer, universities should contrive to provide learning conditions that encourage students to remain curious, to value diversity in opinions and perspectives, and to think critically and communicate effectively. In this way, students can gain problem-solving experience and confidence.Furthermore, universities will never attain their goals if they tailor all their courses or programs to meet the needs of specific employers or occupational sectors. Today’s social environment is more dynamic and turbulent than ever before. Only those graduates who possess certain personality traits and can do well in diversified situations can distinguish themselves from other job applicants.In order to fulfill the main tasks of universities, university education should contain amply opportunities for independent learning which can cultivate students who are more likely to adapt to the changing society. Students can also learn to exercise their autonomy more effectively, and they may clarify their own professional interests while learning in an independent way.2.Nowadays computers are widely used in education. As a result, some people think teachers no longer play important roles in classrooms. To what extent do you agree or disagree?计算机是否可以取代老师观点：老师仍重要理由：1.电脑的缺点：不能创造性思维2.老师的优点：组织学生，启发学生3. 老师的优点：互动扩展句子时：可以用先夸后损，或先损后夸，或对比的方法Invented less than a hundred year ago, computers are now used everywhere, even inside the classrooms. While teachers remain more or less the same, computers are doubling in speed and capability on a yearly basis. In light of the increasing presence and importance of computers in classrooms, people can’t help wondering whether teachers are as important as they once were. As far as I am concerned, teachers still play a major role are still of great importance.It is well known that computers are better at repetitive work but incapable of creative thinking. However advanced they may be, computers are nothing more than human contrivances, programmed to perform certain tasks. They are unable to deal with students with different background. Needless to say, a classroom is a place where individual attention and creativity matter most. Therefore, computers are no better than other tools used by teachers and couldn’t possibly undermine the roles played by them.It might be argued that in terms of accuracy and the amount of information , computers outshine humans; but to make a good teacher means far more than being an encyclopedia where one can access all relevant information. Indeed, a good teacher organizes and inspires the students, putting them into different groups and sharing with them his or her own experience and understanding of a certain subject. Instead of being the source of knowledge, a teacher is more like a guide who shows students the right path towards their destination.Besides, the interaction between students and teachers is vital for learning. According to most education authorities, real learning occurs during the discussion and sharing of ideas with one’s teachers and classmates, which is a task beyond the power of a computer. Moreover, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show a sign of frustration and impatience. Without this kind of interaction, education is unimaginable.In conclusion, despite the increasing presence of computers inside classrooms, teachers are just as essential, if not more so, as instructors were in the past. Some inherent drawbacks make it impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms where creative thinking and interpersonal skills are vital to ensure success.3.As science and technology contribute most to the development of society, science students should get more financial support from government than students in other fields (e.g business,language, etc.) to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?题中出现因果关系：因为科技对社会进步做出的贡献最多，所以科技类学生应该获得更多的财政资助。
