小編：環球教育教研中心 9653.Do you agree or disagree with the statement: Governments have done enough to educate the people the importance of a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating.
Do you have a healthy lifestyle? Before answering this question, we should first identify what is the standards of a healthy lifestyle. To enjoy a healthy lifestyle, a person should practice behaviors that could lead to positive outcomes, like enough sleeping, balanced eating, proper exercising, little stress, harmonious relationship and so on. Considering these standards, however, we might say few of the public are leading a healthy lifestyle and in my opinion, this is mostly because governments have not tried their best to educate people about healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.Admittedly, there are some efforts made already by government spreading the importance of health. However, these are only few and rarely generate impacts on public healthy lifestyle. A common phenomenon in modern society is that due to poor awareness aroused, increasing number of people, especially in large cities, work overtime, drink excessively and stay up late. At the same time, due to limited fund from government, sports facilities in community can only meet needs of a small number of residents, thus leading to lack of physical exercise in general. As a result, more people even the young are found to be in sub-health condition. This worrying trend indicates that government needs to do more to educate people the significance of a healthy lifestyle.Similarly, the endeavor that government has made in educating the importance of balanced eating is far from enough, especially that in food safety supervision. This in my country is particularly evident since there are variety of food safety incidents reported in China. For example, the Sanlu Milk Powder scandal which revealed that the powder added Melamine in order to increase the protein content of the milk can perfectly show the lack of supervision of food safety. Although since then Chinese government have carried out some policies to improve food hygiene, ironically, increasing number of Chinese people nowadays prefer to pay more for oversea products but have little confidence in domestic ones. If government had done enough to improve food safety, then there would be little possibility for the trend to appear.To sum up, I disagree with the statement that the government has done enough in educating people the significance of healthy lifestyle and balanced eating due to the facts that more people are suffering from health problem and less confidence is shown to local food safety.
4.Some people say that students should study many lessons during a semester, but others say that it is better for students to just take three or four lessons. Which do you think is better?
Nowadays, schools are offering students a large range of courses, from traditional literacy to recently created courses, such as foreign language studies, financial management, and risk management, to name a few. Some people believe that students should choose as many courses as they could, whereas others argue that taking three or four courses one semester is enough. To my understanding, it is more appropriate to take three or four courses a semester.Taking three or four courses one semester could enable students to develop their own interests and build their social network during leisure time, so that students will become more versatile and outgoing in the future. Generally speaking, it is not extremely difficult for students to complete assignments of three or four courses a semester. Therefore, most of the students could have sufficient time to participate in some beneficial activities, such as volunteering in the community, hanging out with friends, or working out at the gym, among others. Those activities, unlike study, enable students to do things that they like and to communicate with people who share the same interests with them. During this process, students will enjoy developing their own interests and build their social network, which will definitely benefit them in the future.Moreover, choosing three or four courses instead of too many courses per semester could help students relax and maintain a positive attitude towards life. According to a recent survey, more and more children today are suffering from depression because they are forced to study extremely hard. In order to avoid this type of mental disease, students should not spend too many efforts on academic study. In this sense, by taking three or four courses a semester, students could have time to play and relax during their leisure time, so to relieve the stress caused by academic requirements.Admittedly, taking many courses a semester, students might have the opportunity to learn more knowledge, including useful skills and practices that are beneficial to students’ future. However, once students become tired and feel stressful, they will become less motivated in learning, which will negatively influence their academic performance in all classes as a result.Based on the above discussion, it is obvious that students should not sign up too many courses a semester. Taking three or four courses is more appropriate and beneficial from the perspectives of developing students’ interests and keeping a positive mental status.
5.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People care more about public recognition than about money. Even if no money is given, public recognition can still make people work harder.
Nowadays, many employees are struggling with their works, squashing into the subway every morning to workplaces and working on overwhelming assignments everyday. It is obvious that their hardworking should be rewarded. Some people argue that public recognition as reward is enough to drive people to work harder, and people do not really care about money. As far as I am concerned, I do not believe so.Admittedly, public recognition could drive employees to work harder to a certain extent, because people need others’ appreciation and encouragement towards their works. However, public recognition could motivate employees only for a short time. In a long run, people need money to support their living and to entertain during vocations so as to relax and get prepared for future work. If people are paid with little money, they could neither support their living nor afford entertainment. Even if those people’s works are highly appreciated by others, those complements and appreciations cannot be transformed into money and support people’s life. Therefore, it is inconclusive to assume that people care more public recognition than about money.Further, money rewards do not always take the form of cash or salary. To my understanding, better health care, comfortable working environment as well as other forms of material rewards all belongs to money rewards. Smart managers in a company will provide hard working employees with better health care opportunities and better facilities and equipment. All those types of material rewords could help workers develop a sense of belonging, thus they will become more willing to contribute to the company’s development. On the contrary, public recognition cannot benefit employees in the same way as money rewards. It is less possible that employees consider themselves as an indispensible part of the company if they are just spiritually respected and appreciated by others. In this sense, people are not satisfied with public recognition without complementary money reward, let alone to work harder in a company.To sum up, there is no enough evidence that people prefer public recognition than money as reward of hard work. In order to support living and to develop a sense of belonging in a company, it is necessary to provide employees with more material rewards which could drive them to work harder in a long run.
