8月28日 agree or disagree? If child want to do well in school, parents should limit the hours of watching TV programs or movies
Would you agree with me of the point that children who spend most of their spare time on TV programs or movies will never perform well at school? Although some may emphasize the fact that some talented students can study well even they do not spend much time on it, most people would with me on this point that if most children wnat to perform well at school, their time spending on TV programs and movies should be limited by parents.
To begin with, since the lacking of self-control is one character of young children, they are easily attricated by TV programs and movies. Hardly can we imagine that if children spend most of time and energy on watching TV or movies, they could have enough time to concentrate on their study and to finish their daily homework on time. Moreover, one of the bad results of spending too much time on watching TV or movies is that children will sleep on class as they can not have sufficient time to sleep at night. Then, they can not grasp the mian point made by teachers at school, which means they need additional time to deal with all of the knowledge teachers taught in the class after they come home.
Another point I need to stress is that mental and physical illnesses are coming after if children spend too much time on TV programs and movies, such as they become solitary and myopic. In this case, parents need to take action as soon as possible before things get worse. One of my friends Mike liked watching movies, especially action movies. He might drop off one whole day's classes in order to watch a movies off campus. Later, his fater heard about his situation from my chinese teacher, and he forced Mike to spend all of his time on studying. The outsome was obvious, without time and energy spending on watching movies, Mike made quite a progress in his study.
Of course, I have to admit the fact that some educational TV programs and movies are beneficial for children' study and their futuer career as well. A sea of information is provided on TV nowadays compared with the past. But it is not to say that things are all good whether children addicted to watch these programs or not. The most imporant factor is that children should properly use these facilities.
In conclusion, young children lack self-control and they may become solitray and myopic if they spend too much time on watching TV programs or movies. Even if some programs and movis are educational, the time they spent on wacthing them should be limited.
TPO 2 The reading passage talks about the advantages of working in a team. On the contrary, the lecturer is skeptical about these advantages. He cites an example of a company who used this method, which turned out to be unsucessful after six months, to illustrate his opinion.
First, according to the reading, more people are available in a group, and they also have more solutions to fulfill the project. In contrast, the professor argues that the company who used this method showed that the same workers were likely to become free-riders when they were in a group. And when the group made some successes, they were assigned to the group as a whole.
Second, when asking about the feelings of some workers who have really made insightful contributions, they just say they feel opposite to what is said in the reading. Because their contribution are attributed to the group, and no individual's name is cited except that of the group.
Third, the reading says that because so many people involved in a group project, the project can be finished rapidly. On the other hand, the professor explains that the fact is that it takes long time to make an agreement among all the members since they need to hold many meetings in order to make consensus between group members. Moreover, some influencial members in the group tend to perform only based on their own wishes and ignore other ideas. Most of the time they make a dicision without discussion, even when other members warn that the direction of that decision may be wrong. If their decision is proved to be a mistake, all the group members would be blamed. |
