7.16 独立第一篇，写的很不顺。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Some people prefer to work for only three days a week with long hours.Other prefer to work for five days a week with shorter hours.Which way do you think is more enjoyable and why?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to the issue about working for only three days a week with long hours or just working for five days a week with relatively shorter hours, people's opinion differs from people to people, and culture to cultrue. Some prefer to work consecutively within a shorter period, while others may choose to work casually for more days. On peosonal level, I prefer the later one for the reasons of high working quality and harmonious teamwork.

It is self-evident that working for five days in shorter time will provide a more flexible schedule and a more congenial atmosphere, which, consequently, can make employees feel enjoyable to their work. With a happy mood in work, considerable decisions could be easily formed and much more innovative ideas will also coming after that, which contribute a lot not only to your own working quality but also to the whole team's prosperity. Take my own experience as a example. I once worked in a software development team in a famous 3D modeling company as an intern. Each member in the team works five days with relatively shorter hours. We shared ideas, communicated decisions, and focused on the coding job each workday. Our work quality is proved in this relaxing pace, and it turns out that our production are becoming more and more popular due to every member's brilliant devotion brought by this working pace.

As partly mentioned above in the example, working more days means getting along with your team members for more time, means more chances and more convenient to do adequate face-to-face talk, and we should never neglect the role teamwork plays in a team's success. For instance, in the junior year of college, I took part in a electronic design contest together with my two classmates in the summer holidays. We made a schedule to come to the laboratory from Monday to Friday. We talked to each other through the work, and made some summaries at the end of every workday to synchronise the process. Also we could always keep energetic within these days thank to the moderate workload each day. On the contrary, another team beside us, they usually worked two or three days continuously and also separately from one and another. The final result turned out that our work schedule seemed more efficacious because we won a prize and they got nothing.

From the above discussion, it is reasonable to believe that work for five days for shorter hours has more advantages than work three days with longer hours continuously. For one perspective, the quality of the employees' work could be guaranteed by this more rational schedule. For another, because of the more meeting time engendered by this, we could have an ideal teamwork. Therefore, if possible, why not reschedule your working pace and switch to a nicer one.

7.15 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should allow their children to make mistakes and let them learn from their own mistakes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to the issue about whether to allow children to make mistakes and let them learn form the mistakes or not, parents may have a fierce debate with each other and possibly hold opposite views with each other, which indicates the different ways parents use to educate the next generation and it's hard to tell which one is better. On personal level, I prefer the way of letting children make mistakes, but we should ensure that they indeed draw a lesson from them.

It's self-evident that we could never one hundred pecentage avoid a child from making mistake. Making mistakes is a natural process in children's growth. As always, making mistakes is a great teacher to a naive child. For example, once a child accidentally hurt himself with a knife. He would totally understand how to use a knife and this would never happen again. For another example on another aspect, when a child a little grew up, he told a lie to his parents or he cheated on a test on purpose. When confronting this kind of mistakes, parents should take a heavy care on this at once. As these mistakes don't bring direct pain to children, but let the children feel that they gain benefit from it on the contrary. This situation is dangous. Parents must step out and give a serious lesson or even carry out a severe punishment to make the children totally understand what they have done is totally wrong and would never ever perform such a deed in the future again. In this way, allowing children to make mistakes can barely be harmful, but profitable conversely.

Futhermore, children will leave their parents and live independently sooner or later. Making mistakes in childhood is less detrimental than in adulthood. When you are still a child, no matter how serious the mistake you made, the heaviest pushniment will only from your parents and cost you some tear and maybe some pain physically. But when the second kind of mistake mentioned above was made by a young adult, this will be a totally different thing. Under this circumstance, the consequence would usually be too harsh to contemplate, only because you broke the social rules, while you already owned a mature mind. This would cost you much and lose something you could never fetch it back any longer. So, obviously, if children already made adequate mistakes, this would be some kind of a guarantee that they would seldom make mistakes when grow up, because they've alreary gain enough lessons from the previous stupid mistakes committed by themselves and a mature, strong heart and mind have fromed through these experiences.

From the analysis above, it is crystal clear that allow children to make mistakes is a good method for parents to educate their children to some extent. However, a strong ensurence must be preserved that children gain a lesson from mistakes to prevent them from making the mistakes again in adulthood. If this condition is promised, then why not loose your hand and let your child go and do whatever they want, just don't forget to pull them back when they are making faults.

7.19 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Schools always collect information about teachers' teaching performance and give rewards to those teachers who perform well.Which way do you think is more useful?Evaluated by students or teachers?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is easy to understand that a good teacher is prerequisite to good education, especially when educatees are among young ages. So, as a result, how to give motives to teachers to let them perform even better or push them to change their way of teaching when they are doing bad become extremely important to ensure the quality of education. One personal level, I prefer the way of evaluating teachers performance by students.

First and foremost, when the number of students participating in the evaluation is abundant, the accuracy of the evaluation could be guaranteed. Committee of a school maybe worries about whether some students would submit some unfair scores in the evaluation just in order to show his biased anger towards a teacher or express his fondness of a teacher only because the teacher gave him some extra help compared to all the other student or maybe just submit the evaluation casually without any thinking at all, then as a result, the entire quality of the evaluation would be low, the result can not be used to fulfill the evaluation. But, under this circumstance, hundreds of students took part in this progress, then somehow the situation could be totally improved, because the samples are big enough, the trend of scores could be told easily from some data visualization methods in a computer, then some extremely anomalous cases could be obliterated through some algorithm to ensure the fairness or maybe still take these cases into account, because they don't affect the final results that much due to the big samples.

Moreover, when anonymity is promised to the students, the objectivity of the evaluation could be improved. If in the process of evaluation, students's name will be showed with their score to teachers or to committee, which will unavoidably influence the outcome of the evaluation, because students will think whether their final exam score would be affected if they gave their teacher a low commentary. It's just not worth it to do so, then they may change the score to a higher one just to avoid the unnecessary loss. So, from above, we can clearly see the anonymity's importance. As a matter of fact, many evaluation systems online almost all keep anonymous to students. Once I had a chance to make an evaluation system to the MBA center in my university. The anonymity issue also was talked about in the development progress. I insisted that the evaluation should keep absolute anonymous even we could retain the students' name in the back-end database without informing the students, also, on the other hand, we putted a clear information on the webpage that this evaluation is completely anonymous, you students just try to make the most genuine comments. The final effect seemed to be happy to the mba center committee because they knew the true voice from the students and they could take efficacious steps to elavate the service quality they provide according to these.

Finally, it is self-evident that the accurate and objective comments from students is the best way to evaluate a teacher's work. If the evaluation is positive, this will be a big incentive to teacheres to do an even better job to requite the students. If the evaluation is not that good on the contrary, teacheres may start think on which part they didn't do good enough and try to improve these part instantly. Also, the teaching committee could also have an expansive view of the quality they preserved in the whole school.

All in all, the benefits from evaluating teachers' performance from students are obvious. Only two things to be made clear that letting enough students join the evaluation and keeping anonymous in the whole process.

7.27 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People who develope many different skills are more successful than people who focus on one skill only.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nowadays, more and more young parents in China tend to let their children learn many kinds of lessons to have a good command of many different skills. This trend seems to tell people that the more skills you own, the more success you'll get. But is this a wise choice, as far as I am concerned, I don't think so and I believe people who focus on only one skill have more chance to become successful.

First and foremost, the time and enegy people can exploit is limited. It's just hard for people to try to develope many different skills at the same time. If they do so, undoubtedly, they will have an average command of each skill, which can not lead them to find a good job or to be the top in one field, in another word, they can not be successful in this way. Take myself as an example. As a software engineer to-be, there're many different techniques in this field. These techniques are all brilliant and appealling and I chose to learn every aspect of these at first. After a period of time of studying, when I tried to find a internship job, it turned out that I could not even get one internship offer because I didn't have one sharp skill these companis required. So, through this instance, we can clearly see that developing many different skills is somehow not a wise selection.

Moreover, skills you command should be originated from your interest, which will lead you to put all your energy and focus your whole attention to this specific skill. This is the best situation on your way to develope a skill. It is crystal clear that most celebrities around the world all grab their prosperity in this mode. Take two giants in IT industry as an example, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both chose to drop out their college at the junior year after finding their own inner voice and figuring out that they didn't want to learn the other skills they are not interested in. Gates then was concentrated on developing an operating system and finally Windows came up, which resulted in the starting up of the most successful software company, Microsoft. About Jobs, he put all his energy in user friendliness research and finally founded Apple, which brought some extremly novel and lovable products like iphone, ipad and so forth. Therefore, in a word, interest makes you focus on one skill, which brings you to the right trajectory of success.

As mentioned above, we see the merits brought by focusing on one skill. But we can not neglect some good parts of developing many differet skills before people step into a mature age. When at a young age, people are not mature enough, both mentally and physically. At this time, different skills can not only help people accommodate the complicated society, but also will lead them to find what they really love. Steve Jobs once said in the commencement of Stanford, 2005, "The only way to de great work is to love what you do. If you don't find it yet, keep looking and don't settle." So, when you are developing different skills, this also means that you are on your way of looking for your true love, your deep heart motivation.

Conclusively speaking, if we have already found one skill we really love, then we should focus all our attention on developing this skill. On the contray, if we are still in the process of searching for this skill, why not try some different skills until finding that one.

8.2 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Compared with the people living in cities, the people living in villages and farm areas are more satisfied with their lives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decades ago, when industrialization was still pravailing, hundreds of thousands of people living in the villages swarmed to the cities for earning a better livelihood. However, nowadays, with the rise of economy, with the advancement of information and technology and with many other factors, it seems that more and more people tend to enjoy the life in villages and finally decided to move back to suberbs, living there for a life-long time. On personal level, I am also fond of the lives in villages and farm areas.

First and foremost, the environment in suberbs is usually much better than that of the urban areas. It is self-evident that a good environment is the prerequisite for a better life. In suburbs, more fresh air, more grass and trees, or even much cleaner water are easier to reach for the people who live there. These elements contribute a lot to a better mood and to a healthier body. Conversely, when living in the city, everyday, people have to inhale the automobile exhaust before and after work, have to be encompassed by iron and cement in their leisure time, which would gradually affects people's spirit and when time goes by, they will feel apart from the nature and become hard to enjoy the intended wonderful life.

Moreover, people living in the village would feel less stressful both from work and from life than who living in the city. Even if they have a lot pressure, it's easy to release it when they get back to the village. This is best illustrated by the example of my father. My father's always facing a lot challenges and pressure from his work. When we lived in the city, he had no choice but to turn to cigarette and alcohol for some help, consequently, his health was severely affected by these bad habits. So, we decided to move to the village and after that, when he was facing difficulities, he usually chose to take a work at the country road to get some fresh air and meanwhile to clear his mind. We can see not only his heath recovered, but also his working efficiency was a bit improved by the advantages brought by living in the country.

Last but not the least, some people may say that living in the village means being far away from people we know and some supurmarkets and malls will be unconvenient to reach. It is true facially. However, we could not neglect the fact that nowaday via Internet, we could easily keep in touch with people all around the world. And with the booming of social networking site like facebook and twitter, hardly can we see the communication problem any more. On another perspective, as almost every family in the village owns a car, people generally could get to the supermarkets in the urban areas within half an hour driving.

Conclusively speaking, better environment, less pressure and solved distance problems are all convincing reasons driving more and more people to live in the villages and farm areas. Therefore, if you are still living in the city, why not consider the idea of moving to the suburbs.

8.18 独立 The opinions of celebrities, such as famous entertainers and athletes, are more important to younger people than to older people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to the issue about the opinions of celebrities having more influence on which group, the younger generation or the older people. I believe, most people will choose the prior one -- the younger generation as their final answer without any hesitation for reasons of young people's much stronger needs for these opinions and their better ability to accept fresh things.

First and foremost, young generation's minds and thoughts are usually immature, which means they need some opinions or advice more urgently than older people from celebrities or from their mentors, helping them form their thoughts in the right trajectory, bringing courage to them when they are facing difficulties or firming their belives when they confront dilemmas. Take myself as an example. I once lost my way when I first came to the university. At that time, I didn't know what exactly I want and what kind of person I am longing to become, as a result of which, I always distracted from some important lessons thinking these trivial stuffs. However, I accidentally got a chance to watch a speech conducted by Steve Jobs, one of the most influential giant in IT industry. I was totally touched by his proverbs like "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. So you got to find what you love. If you haven't found it yet. Keep looking and don't settle." "Stay hungry! Stay foolish!" and so forth. These words became principles in my heart after that. I followed these routes and finally found what I truly love and then fight for it hard day and night. We can see a young mind was saved and instructed by the vintage opinions of celebrities.

Moreover, it is self-evident that young people are at most time more receptive to great opinions, informative advice and novel ideas, which means the opinions from celebrities usually have a greater impact on younger generation than on older people. Since these opinions have a better effect on the young, we can safely say as the statement indicated that the opinions from famous people are more important to young people. Quote an example of my own to illustrate this. My grandma always likes telling some stories of hers when she was young to my parents and I to show her dilligence or integrity or confidence...My parents' reaction to this usually is making some compliment to her. Hardly can these educative anecdotes affect their mannar or their thoughts. But to me, this is a totally different situation in which I always draw some virtues of my grandma and try to perform these good aspects on my own and to my life. In this instance, grandma is the star to us, we all adore her. My parents only heard grandma's stories, but to me, I not only heard these stories, but also learned from them.

From what has been discussed above, it is reasonable to believe that the opinions of famous figures are far more important to young generation than to older people. For one perspective, the necessity of these opinions is more imperative to young people. For another, young people are more willing and easier to accept these suggestions. Therefore, when making opinions, celebrities should consider the young generation a little bit more.

8.21 独立父母應該多陪孩子玩遊戲或體育運動，還是陪孩子做和學校學習有關的事情？
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almost every child's first teacher is undoubtedly their parents. They acquire the ability to recognize and then observe the world through their parents, as a result of which, the way parents follow to educate the next generation becomes so significant that even some heated debates are raised in recent years arguing about which option should be taken, to spend more time in playing with children or in assisting them to do some school related work. As far as I am concerned, maybe more time on games or sports would be the better choice for reasons of enhacing bond with them and foster some qualities, but still helping children with their homework cannot be totally neglected, whereas parents should propose to let them solve this kind of issue on their own.

obviously, parents using more time to involve themselves in playing games or conducting some sports will definitely facilitate the mutual bond with their kids. The tighter the bond is, the more children will learn about how to make a friend, how to communicate and how to care about others through the above activities. Particularly, in some specific games like drawing or carrying out some simple scientific experiments, children's imagination and creativity can be stimulated, which will lead them to explore some fields with full curiosity and interest. These basic but most important qualities seemingly cannot be initiated from somewhere else but from their parents. on the other side, Doing some physical exercise with children will bring much benifit not only to you but to the children as well. The little children will gain health and bettern condition for growth, both mental and physical, through this. Take my nephew as an example. My brother used to spent all his spare time in playing some meaningful games with the little man, sometimes even me and the grandparents took part in it, through which the little man learnt what's cooperation and competition, learnt asking questions when meeting difficulities and also obtained some fundamental recognition of respect, confidentce and so forth. When he entered the primary school, his brilliant performence in school fully illustrated that the time spent in playing with him was well-deserved and benificial.

However, we cannot deny that children will face some difficulties from homework or some school related issues frequently. Under these circumstances, we first should encourage them to solve the issues independantly by the means like Internet or some reference books rather than ask their parents for help, because the problem solving ability is so vital in this competitive society. But in some cases, the problem's really tough that they are not capable of finishing it alone, then parents should advice them to turn to their teachers or classmates for help, because when children finally go to work, they also need to ask their coworkers for some assistance. These two situations are similiar. Thus, why not suggest them doing so? For instance, when I first went to my junior middle school that is one of the best middle schools in the city, all the students were excellent. Actually, I met a bunch of puzzles when facing so severe competition and so complex homework, even felt depressed and frustrated sometimes. I was so shy at that time that hardly could I put a step forward to ask questions to anyone else except my father. My father talked to me about this problem for a long time and finally convinced me to ask my classmate and teachers for help. Just do it. I solved this issue in the end and this helped me a lot in my future study.

Conclusively speaking, generally parents should take more time and lay more attention on playing some meaningful games and doing some sports conductive to children's health and growth. If children meet difficulties in school, giving them some advice like asking their classmates for help or asking their teachers for solution or using google to search the solution is the most suitable thing to do.
