8月29日The best way to improve the quality of education is to imcrease teachers' salaries What do you think is the best ways to improve the quality of education, such as in elimentary school, high school, and also in university and college? Is it working to improve teachers' salaries? I bet most teacher agree with increasing their salaries and, on the other hand, parents, government do not think so. Indeed, from my point of view as a student, I disagree with the statement for the following reasons.
In the first place, other factors, the teaching facilities and the academic level of teachers, are more important than increasing teachers' salaries. Hardly can we imagine the fact that one school gives its teachers $10, 000 per month, but the teaching facilities are in bad condition. Without basic libraries, science certer, and other important buildings for students, the quality of education is difficult to improve. Also, if more of the school's budget is spent on teachers, there would be not sufficient money to buy teaching facilities or the hire new excellent teachers, which are all essential to improve education quality.
Moreover, teachers will be distracted from teaching by more money can be spent on entertainments such as long distance travel or a larger house. On one hand, compared to other types of careers, teachers are well paid. On the other hand, teachers have more spare time and long vacations. More money will directly lead to the result that teachers spend their time on thinking about planing a trip to several places, buy a sports car, a much bigger house. Personaly I do not think these ideas are not suitable for teachers, but if they spend more time on these things, the time they pay attentin to the teaching decreased. And it will cause the teaching quality of the teahers decreased intead of improved. Finally, the quality of education can not be ensured in this case.
Admittedly, I have to acknowledge the fact that teachers desire a reasonable salaries to support their family. The point I do not consider correct is that high salaries can help to improve education quality. No one can deny that fact that students are the center of school education, and the main role of education is to educate students for their future successes. As a result, more attention should be paid to students but not only to improve teacher' salaries. In conclusion, teachers are considered as master educators of human beings, their quality of life should be ensured. It is no doubt that teachers have a reasonable salary, however, the method of giving all teachers high salaries to improve the quaity of education is invalid.
TPO 3 The reading text talks about questions that cast doubt on one painting of Rembrandt, and claims that this painting is not a work of him. On the contrary, the speaker argues that even the arguments in the passage are ture to some extent, but after thoroughly examination by experts, the painting is proved to be indeed painted by Rembrandt.
First, contrary to what the passage said that the woman's dresses are not consistent, the speaker points out the fact is that the cause of the inconsitency-the fur collar-is not on the original painting. In fact, after X-ray and anylsis by scientists, it is found that someone added the fur collar on the top of the original one one hundred year after it was made in order to increase its value by makng the woman seem like a normal lady.
Second, the speaker also refutes the point made in the reading text that light and shadow do not fit in the painting. She says that after the fur collar is removed, it can be seen that the woman is wearing light color clothes which can reflect the light to part of the woman's face.
Third, the passage also cites that the painting is made of several pieces of wood which glued together, therefore it is not Rembrandt's style. However, the speaker explains that since the fur collar was added to the original painting, the painting also was enlarged so that the painting was more grand and valueable. Indeed, another self-portrait of Rembrandt with a hat and the paintging of the woman was made from wood which came from the same treee. All of these two evidences help to convince that the added pieces of wood is not an evidence to prove the paintging is not one work of Rembrandt. |
