1.Many high school students are doing a lot of school work already. Some people believe that students should help their parents with household chores, since it's the best way to give them a sense of responsibility.
Recently some parents suggested even students are facing big study pressure in school, it is still important for students to help with household chores in family because it is meaningful for them to build their senses of responsibilities in this way. I agree with the idea and here are some of my reasons.Firstly, study cannot become an excuse of laziness. It is pretty normal that many students use study as the response to parents' help requests of housework. For example, my brother, who is in middle school now, has never even done any kind of chores before. Every time my aunt asked him to do a favor like cleaning or washing dishes, his response would be that he had no time because there was too much homework. Even when he was just playing the computer game. And for those parents which hope their children have a bright future, most of them choose not trouble their children in such circumstances. However, this kind of indulgent attitude makes escape and avoidance become their children's habitual ways of facing responsibilities in long term.Also, making children to participate in the working process can cultivate their sense of cherishing fruits of the labor of others. Naughty children always like to make destructions of materials in the house, such like damaging the manicured lawns, soiling clean sheets and carpets, or tracking up clean floors. However, if they could experience the tiredness of washing clothes, cleaning up floors or manicuring lawns, I believe they will not make damages anymore.Some people may say that it is hard to push their children to do the housework. Also pushing students to do such things out of unwillingness may cause opposite effects. However, there exist better way such as telling children that they can earn some pocket money by helping with housework, which is not only an incentive mechanism but also an educational way to cultivate fiscal sense at young age.All of above, asking the students to help do household chores can both cultivate their responsibilities and prevent naughty children's disruptive behaviors. Moreover, parents should take good ways of guiding students to do such works but not pushing.
2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Patience is usually not a good strategy; we should take action now rather than later.
When it comes to talking about the advantages and disadvantages of patience and dispatch, disputes always exist. From my point of view, taking action now is a better way to deal with the tasks for the following three reasons.First, taking action now saves time. As we all know, time is money. Therefore, a worker with strong ability of execution is more likely to be appreciated by the boss and then to earn more money. Moreover, if we take action and then finish the work ahead of time, we can own more spare time to relax. Thus, taking action not only can promote our financial benefits, but also enhance our quality of leisure time because high efficiency is well coordinated with the pace and the rule of the society.Second, taking action now promises enough time for revision. To state it more clearly, this strategy can make the worker finish the task in a relatively shorter time, so if the task has something wrong, the employee can make full use of the saved time to revise the original version. That is to say, taking action now is also a tactic for guaranteeing the quality of the mission.Finally, taking action now seizes the opportunity, a common sense that is fit to all walks of life. For example, Warren Buffet is so decisive in the constant changing stock market, and that is why he can earn more money, so Mark Elliot Zuckerberg can embody his creative idea to make people amazed for the thriving of Facebook. Exactly speaking, taking action is the premise of being successful.In a word, if we think twice about the patience and taking action, it is not difficult for us to reach a conclusion that taking action deserves more. Moreover, although patience is pretty vital, the current trend needs self-display!
3.Do you agree or disagree with the following opinion? The most important goal of education is to help people educate themselves?
How important is it for a person to be educated? I think the significance of this question is equivalent to that of the purpose of education. The purpose of education is without doubt the most debated topic in almost every field of profession and people have never gotten tired of keeping on diving into this matter whereas I strongly believe that the most important goal of education is to help people educate themselves. I shall illustrate my point with the following reasons.First of all, the essence of education lies in motivating people to have independent thinking so as to stimulate their curiosity towards this world and in turn seek out new solutions to the problems at hand we humans are facing. A classic counter-example of this is the education in China. Almost every one of the student in China are very accustomed to the cramming idea adopted by the teachers under this bizarre system. We've witnessed that quite a number of students have no independent thinking at all. They all look for direct answers from books or teachers instead of thinking through how or why the way it was or is or will be. I remember when I was in elementary school, the teachers were only informing us of a great deal of knowledge, principles, rules, fixed methods to force us to think alike them. This became worse when I reached high school. Years after the inspiring education I received in college, I started to wonder, what's the real meaning of education, to cram? Or to motivate students to think? This becomes even clearer when I see this writing task. The most important goal of education is to motivate people to think, to be re-educated by the knowledge they relieved with independent thinking.In addition, with the motivation of education for people to be curious about both the world and themselves, people could explore new possibilities and search for new answers to old problems and never stop the little steps which are expected to be accumulated to a giant leap. Without the important goal of education, this could not be achieved by any individual. A good example of this is the world-known entrepreneur, the founder of Apple Company, Steve Jobs, in whose life he kept perfecting his qualities to be the CEO of a world famous hardware company. In his early thirties, he was fired by his own company, which was a major failure of his entire life. This didn't actually prevent him from pursuing his ultimate goal. He used what he learned, what he was educated with, to ponder over the issue at hand, for a long time in fact, and then he went to India to find his inspiration with which he re-invented the smartphone, stormed out the electronic market with various state-of-the-art devices. He was educating himself the whole time during "the great depression" (most contemporary news were allegedly reporting his story with a tone like this) of his. He is just one of the thousands of examples that are merging every day from the past to the future among successful elites of our societies. All in all, the marvelous purpose of education should be and must be the goal of helping people educate themselves anytime in their lives to change and break through and make the world a better place.The way I see it, helping people to educate themselves is definitely the most important goal of education. Only with this significant goal will we grasp the truth in learning and benefit from it throughout our lives.
