四级口语辩论

learning?

Square statements:

Face one is that, in our “knowledge-based” economy, knowledge counts. With a well specialized knowledge in a certain field, there is a good chance for college students to find a pleasant job and start a successful career. In modern society, millions of undergraduates are benefited specialized university studies. And we are inclined to the notion that the specialized knowledge is more important than a wide range of learning.

Opposition statements: First, I admit that your statement to the issue is very wonderful. Have you ever notice the fact that obtaining all sorts of knowledge on a wide range of subjects’ guarantees one’s job opportunity in such a competitive world, many large corporations prefers a person with a wide range of knowledge. The wider the range of knowledge you have, the more angles you can receive to view the world, and surely the better prospective you will have. So we’re convinced that college students should equipped with a wide range of learning. Communication:

反方: How do you think about the College offers a wide range of programs for us? Don’t you think it is promoting us to have a wide range of learning?

正方: The College offers a wide range of programs designed to give you the support you need to reach your educational and career goals. It helps you have better specialized knowledge rather than too much learning.

反方: Have you ever heard the fact that Bill Gates started his Microsoft relying on a wide range of knowledge without specialized knowledge in computer programming?

正方: Surely. However, there is no doubt that computer programming is the foundation of his career. In a specific field, only when we are enabled to have specialized knowledge can we achieve our ultimate goals. For example, doctors should be professional if they want to make an operation successfully.

反方: In my opinion, you just misunderstood our views. We mean a wide range is much more important than the specialized one, and we haven’t denied the importance of specialized knowledge. What we stressed on is the key words “more important”. It is the fact that a high percentage of people are not working in their majors, which indicates that they devote themselves to some field that they were not specialized in. Don’t you think students who equipped with a wide range of learning can find job easier?

正方: In fact, whether we can well adapt to the world is not depend on how wide the range of knowledge you’ve acquired is, but the degree of the knowledge you’ve handled. Well, students who specialize in one field can be more professional than those who receive comprehensive education when they graduate and those well-trained \"experts\" might be more welcomed by the society. Can you deny the function of “experts”?

反方: I think we should debate according to the fact. If one has acquired diverse knowledge in university, he can easily find a position where he may apply what he has learned. The main reason why I put forward the idea is that taking classes in different subjects can guarantee students absorbing basic knowledge.

正方: Each person’s energy is limited. Can anybody coordinate time to get a wide range of learning?

反方: As a college student, how to manage the time is the basic ability of us. What I

emphasize is to enrich ourselves by a wide range of learning.

正方：It is known that many great men are sparing no efforts in their research. For example: Einstein Newton and so on. What counts most in their success is their specialized knowledge in their flied. Only when we equipped specialized knowledge can we become successful. If a person that he have a wild range of learning can become successful?

反方：Einstein have solid foundation in math so that he can tap his potentials in physical.

People who have a wild range of learning can expand his horizon and lay a foundation in his success.

正方总结：In summary, we attach importance to specialized knowledge. Many scientists set

examples and show us how important of specialized knowledge. In our society, different people play different roles. What should we do is to do our own things. Only in that way can we build a better world. Equipped specialized knowledge is a good way to help us play our own role.

反方总结：We hold the view that a college student have a wild range of learning is more important. Anyhow, in our society, people have a wild range of learning can find their position easier. That is to say, people can find a nice job easier. Because of open mild, students can have many ways when they are faced with problems.

2、Does the internet do more harm than good to students?

正方：利大于弊

正反阐述：The internet is a network connecting computers across the world. Then the creation of the World Wide Web at 19 and web browsers gave ordinary people easy ways of getting around the Internet. According to the China Internet Network Information Center Statistics, as of the end of 2009, China’s Internet users reached over 400 million. Especially in this 400 million, students are the main components. But the influence of the internet stretches farther than figures suggest. Internet has great impact on students. Firstly, the internet brings an opportunity for students to obtain a large amount of information that help with their study. Nowadays, students can learn lots of courses in distance or foreign universities on line at home.

Secondly, the internet provides students with many chances to broaden communication with others and improve their relational with friends. Emails and QQ allow them to communicate conveniently with friends at home and abroad.

Besides, shopping on the internet can save students’ much time. The most important reason lies in the low prices. This also can reduce economic pressure. Of course, everything has two sides. The internet also has a bad effect on the students, but as long as students don’t indulge in the internet, the internet does

more good than harm to students. These are our point of view. 反方提问：

1、The internet have a lot of information, but these information also have a lot of unhealthy. Many students self-control is not strong, surfing the unhealthy information and this had a bad impact on their learning and growth.

回答：We are talking about the impact of the internet on students，from the overall point of view, the more good than harm. Variety of network information, even if there is no internet, unhealthy information also can spread through other ways. These can’t deny the benefit of internet for students. At the same time, we have to do is the government departments supervise(监督) strongly the internet information to reduce or even eliminate the unhealthy information. Web Site operators should review and clean up the site information to avoid the spread of bad information.

2、Even without unhealthy information, the online games still affect students learning and growth. And the pursuit of economic interests does not make the Web site operators to abandon the development of online games. I would like to ask the Friends of the other debates, online games there a way to reduce or eliminate?

回答：We admit the existence of market demand and economic interests determined the existence of the internet games. However, at the same time we want to remind the other side argues Friends of the today's debate is the internet for students, rather than indulging（沉迷） in online games for students. Now students have a lot of learning pressure, playing games in their spare time is helpful for students to relax themselves and develop their intelligence.

3、News reported that a girl went to see online friends, but the boy is so ugly that she took a hit and took off her clothes three times streaking. We do not know the boys how ugly, but we know that making friends on the internet bring a bad influence on people's trust. How will you explain the bad phenomenon?

回答：First, we want to stress is the psychological quality of the girl. Because the boy grows ugly to make such behavior, her psychological quality is quite poor. Second, the internet of space-time requires people to have a certain ability to identify，especially in making friends and money transactions. If you want to make friends, you can go to the formal site registration, such as Renren network.

正方总结：To conclude，the internet can bring harm but we can’t deny that the internet is the most important achievement in 21 century. The internet is good or not for students depends on the way people using it. If students make full use of the advantages of Internet, the benefits of the Internet cannot be estimated(不可估计的).At the same time，when the internet develops in high speed，most government should have legislation to limit the bad effect on the students.

反方：弊大于利

反方阐述：The internet can be seen as the most popular technology in the modern life. Its facilities are applied for many aspects of students’ life such as studying and living. But the internet brings to students more harm than good. At the first of all, students using the internet have a bad effect on their health. Students usually use the internet and they spend more time on sitting computer. As

a result, they can get eyes problems or pain back. In addition, with internet addicts, they can get mental problems because of abusing using the internet. In Korea, a man died after playing games for 5 hours.

Second, The Internet allows students to become lazier. When the teacher assignments, students will search for answers on the Internet, rather than think by themselves. At the university, the situation is more serious. English Writing use online translation directly. Writing essay online copy and paste, even copy original directly for some unimportant class.

Third, some students are indulging in online games, which give students and families a negative impact. Some primary and secondary students often stole their parents' money to playing games. Some college students indulge in the game rather than go to class, and were eventually expelled from school.

The disadvantages brought about by the internet to the students there are many, but this is not to deny the benefits of the network. We need to look at it for the object, for adults or business people, the benefits of the Internet is beyond question. However, for students with poor self-control, the Internet do more harm than good. This is our point of view. 正方提问：

1、I would like to ask the other side argue the Friends, did you conducted a survey how many students are addicted to the Internet? can we think you are in the sweeping（以偏概全）?

回答：Due to reasons of time and difficulty of the investigation, we did not have to investigate. However, we can accord the findings of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Psychology on 13 universities in the Shanghai area, indicating that the internet harm to students. In 2004，shanghai university dropped out 81 students one time. These students are addicted to online games. East China University of Science and Technology(华东理工大学) also dropped out of 237 students。These students have more than 80% indulge in computer games. Internet addiction has a great influence on students' learning, has now become the main reason college students drop out.

2、Analogy, just because the fish when a fish bone stuck in the neck, we say fish endanger human? The internet is the truth. Take a number of data downloaded from the Internet to refute us, and said the Internet more harm than good.

回答：We also did not deny that the internet has a good side. As far as I know，so far，without which national laws correctly constrained site. According to a British professor statistics, 47 percent of learning information in the internet is sex and violence. Once the students are exposed to these harmful information, the consequences could be disastrous(后果不堪设想). And there are many high school students, because they cannot handle the too much information, suffering from mental illness 'information anxiety'. 3、You said to some students with weak self-control are all weak, which is sweeping. If we go look at those juvenile offenders, and whether we should say：“over all the children cannot be saved?”The internet as a trend of the times, it has the convenience and speed, our students have to learn from.

回答：According to the examples above, some excellent school students’ self-control like this, self-control of the primary and secondary school students, we are naturally imaginable. I believe the other side argues Friends also know a major fire event of the Beijing Internet cafes. Two boys, a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old, because quarreled with attendant of Beijing “lanjisu” internet café, bought petrol and burn the internet café. Do it for the other defense Friends of the tragic human cost is still sweeping?

反方总结：The other side argue Friends listed many examples ，and even overstate how good the Internet to students! Understatement of a series of drawbacks of the Internet to students, this is not respected for objective facts. Internet addiction has become a widespread problem for students。 We also agree that healthy network environment will give students many benefits， but now the problem is the poor internet environment. Countries in the governance internet environment, parents and teachers teach children correct treatment of the internet, but this entire still cannot guard the children inside the temptation, the temptation of the Internet cafe operators, the temptation of online games on students. So, in the current internet environment, the internet does more harm than good to students.

3、Should examinations be replaced with other forms of assessment? 正方：不应该被其他考核方式代替

阐述：Our main view is that examination should not be replaced by other assessments. First of all，exams are something everyone should have to learn to take. Examination can help people learn to remember skills. Someone may be able to prove physically that they have some skills, but it makes you wonder what skills they may lack.

Second, examinations serve as useful tools when it comes to evaluating a student’s performance. Unlike essays and take-home work, exams are normally conducted in a controlled environment, where the use of outside resources is curtailed and where students are required to complete all answers in the same period of time. Third, examinations make students work harder because it counts towards a grade. If students have no incentive, there’s not much reason for them to try. It’s like if you went to work and they didn’t pay you, then why go to work in the first place? I think that exams provide the most accurate way of testing student knowledge and learning.

Besides, coursework depends on grades. Grades depend upon examination. So now examinations remain the only way to standardize scores. We admitted that we don’t like examinations, but they are a necessity. This is our perspective. Thank you.

反方提问1：We believe that exams are nothing than just pure memory work. This doesn't include practical exams. What capacity of people can you see form one exam? 回答1：Yes, we must recognize that traditional examination is more rigid. However， with the modern education reform, open teaching and paper topics

are also changing. Because people who take the exam do not know these topics in advance ，The examiner can see their response capabilities and language skills through their answers. 反方提问2：Examinations are usually taken in a short period. Do you think that the score by short period shouldn't decide their future？

回答2：If they are not even done well a short-term evaluation, how can they perform well in the later study or work?

反方提问3Ma Yun, had only one point in math exam in the first college entrance examination. But now is also a leader in the Internet. How do you think this？

回答3：He just is a man .he cannot do well in exam while he succeed, but it doesn't mean that everyone cannot adapt to the exam. He cannot be the typical representative of all people. 正方总结：

In summary, the exam has unified quantitative standards. It can be more direct and relatively fair to assess students. Easy to organize and manage. At the same time, all kinds of forms of examination can assess students' comprehensive quality in many aspects. In today's society, the examination is no longer pure rote; more open-ended questions allow students to express themselves more. Therefore, we believe that the examination should not be replaced. (可以根据自己需要加) 反方：应该被其他考评方式代替

陈述: We have through exams all our life. The day we entered school until the day we are out of school. And even sometimes in interview and apply for jobs there will be examinations. But we think the examination should be replaced by other forms of assessment.

Firstly, current testing methods are old and out-dated and do not reflect students overall knowledge. Social development requires more comprehensive person, so also need a more comprehensive assessment to assess people’s abilities.

Secondly, exams are nothing than just pure memory work. This doesn’t include practical exams. But if you look at exam papers, it is all theory based and the questions set are just what you learn in the lectures. Thirdly, examination results are not fair. On one hand, examinations results depend on the opinion of the individual examiner. The same paper marked by two different examiners could get completely different results. On the other hand, the technology of cheating became more and more. Usually does not work hard students to purchase this technology at the time of the examination, final examination results for the students who seriously study is not fair.

We think schools can through students' practice and scientific experiments to assess the ability of them. Such as during the school year, teachers and students gather work which shows student progress and achievement in various subjects such as English or science. Students are

usually encouraged to reflect on the work that has been selected. Such reflection helps students think not only about what they have learned, but about their own learning processes. This will produce a good effect on their future social work too. This is our point of view. Thank you! 正方提问1、Textbook knowledge is the basis，and the examination is the assessment of the students to master the basics. If the students cannot grasp basic knowledge, how can they use it in practice skilled?

回答: First，those knowledge could be true facts proven by scientists but have you actually done those experiments？ Second， using the practices to assess students’ abilities we put forward meet this requirement. Practice not only allows students to test their acquired knowledge, but also let teachers assess students on the use of basic knowledge. Moreover, by the way of practice allow students to keep in mind their acquired knowledge.

正方提问2、You think that the test result is not fair, but your assessment is also unfair. The subjective feelings of the teacher will certainly affect the results of the exam.

回答：A kind of assessment results will be subjective emotions inside, but we have to consider is how to minimize the subjective factors. Through students' practice and scientific experiments to assess the ability of students reduce the cheating factor compared with examination.

正方提问3：However, did you think about the Chinese educational environment? Maybe the current examinations are the best choice for schools and students.

回答3:We think the assessment replace the examination is basic on many factors. The three points mentioned above are we believe that the exam shortcomings. Besides, China's education is also near to the international education, the biggest challenge many Chinese students facing is their practice is not strong when applying for foreign universities. At the same time, many educators also advocate a practice assessment of students.

反方总结：Through students' practice and scientific experiments assessment can not only stimulate the creative thinking of students, but also cultivate students' teamwork spirit. As well as causing personal problems, pressure of examinations can lead many bright students to under-perform. Then examinations don’t provide an accurate reflection of their intellectual abilities. Some students even chose to commit suicide because of pressure or unsatisfactory examination results. With china education’s actual situation，we favor students' practice and scientific experiments replace examination. Although the environment of china’s education and examination system has many flaws， we believe that the assessment will be the future development trends. And education reform and evaluation system will gradually improve.
