60 argument
The author recommends that Consolidated Industries should investment in home heating oil based on the following reasons: the habitants' tradition to use oil as major fuel in the northeastern United States; the prediction of climate forecasters that the weather will continue to be quite cold in winter as well as the trend of increasing number of people migrated in this region. Although these evidence looks superficially founded, a comprehensive inspection and specific examples will be demonstrated in the article to show the invalidity of the argument.

To begin with, the arguer rashly bases on the assumption that people will remain the tradition of using oil as main fuel for heating. Chances are great that citizens here may switch from their previously favored oil to other intriguing and convenient alternatives. For instance, with the popularization of air-conditioner, residents would prefer to take good exploit of electricity. Or the relatively cheap price of coal could also rivet people's eyes and thus make them choose to burn coals to warm the house. In addition, the methane as well comes to people's daily life for only exhausts after burning coal are water and carbon dioxide, which is environmentally friendly. Under these cases, hardly will the habitants here maintain their tradition in oil. So the conclusion is unwarranted, unless the author is able to offer some strong evidence to prove the continue use of oil as major fuel for heating among residents.

Furthermore, the accuracy of predication of weather patten from climate forecasters is also being questioned. It is common sense that many obstacles can be met when foreseeing the weather even within severals weeks with consideration of complexed factors which exert significant impacts on weather pattern, such as the currents of ocean, the motions of winds and solar activities. From this point, it is imprecise to predict the weather for a few weeks, not mention several more years. In this way, embarrassment is confronted to determine an absolute tendency of weather. It is possible that El Nino could occur along the western coast along American and forwards the influence on the northeastern land, resulting in the overall increment in temperature and people there is no longer need to depend on the combustion of oil for heating.

Moreover, the author rashly bases his recommendation on the supposition that the new comers in this region will also become consumers of oil in home heating. Unluckily, he fails to show any evidence that the people who is moving there will continue to have the inclination to utilize oil as their main fuel. It can be conceivable that the relatively large proportion of the new arrivals is consisted of the young people, who tend to use air-conditioner and electric fan which are powered by electricity as these  household electrical appliances for heating are popular and electricity is clean and cheap. Therefore, without apparent evidence to support the overall proclivity to oil, the recommendation predicated on this is unjustified.

Last but not least, even though the large potential demand for oil is warranted, the author unfairly draws the conclusion that mints of profits will be gathered if the company pitches increasing investment on the oil industry, since there is no clear relation between the demand of oil and the interest in oil industry. The process of production for oil is an essential factor that we must pay attention to. Firstly, the cost on the place where the factory is built is big. Besides, due to the enormous request for oil, the company will prefer to make a long-term project plan, which can bring more income. This means the scale of factory will be more capable than the current need. Thus, the construction of the factory is a large investment. What is more, during the construction, the company has to hire some experts to conduct the tasks related. And once the factory is put into use, administers whose principal duty is to supervise employees are needed. In the end, the ultimate money spent on both the production line and employees will far outweigh its income in the beginning. Since the author is not able to account for these latent factors which are also responsible for the success of the company, no firm guarantee is given that the company will surely thrive.

In a nutshell, considering all analyses above, the weakness of the author's reasoning is clearly verified-presenting points based on unwarranted assumptions and failing to show sufficient evidence. Only if the author makes sure the stable increasing demand of oil among habitants and shows evidence that Consolidated Industries will earn from the oil industry, the recommendation is tenable and reasonable.

31. Society should make efforts to save endangered species only if the potential extinction of those species is the result of human activities.

The claimer suggests that efforts are supposed to be made to save species which are on the verge of extinction only caused by human activities. As for me, however,  this statement is basically sound and it can be broadened into the protection of more endangered species even if they are not the consequence of improper movements of humans. A series of points and specific examples will be demonstrated in the article to bolster my argument.

At the very beginning, it is commonly acknowledged that the life of enormous creatures is disturbed by humans. Currently, with the sharp increase in the number of human beings, habitats of many species are gradually taken over, thus forced to somewhere less suitable for their survival. The white deer in America is a good case in this point. With the extreme expansion of humans, the trees in the forest, an ideal habitat of a large number of these deer, is supplanted by a mass of house, cutting though by artificial railways. As a result, killed by high-speeding trains are some deer accidentally rushes on the road. On the other hand, the severe aftermath from human activities is also the culprit to the extinction of these species. Specifically, with the skyrocketing development of industry, the greenhouse gases are released at a faster rate, ending up with the destruction of ozone layer in the polar regions. This casts inevitable threaten to polar creatures such as the polar bear and the penguin, which are exposed in the fierce sun rays.

What is more, the protection of animals and plants are of magnitude in the whole society, since they directly contributes to our material and spirit. The biological diversity is the great gift rendered by the nature. It is the various species that enhances better life for we humans. In particular, the horn of a antelope is an efficient and valuable medicine which can be used to cure hypertension; the corn is a major raw material for industrial production with which workers are able to brew and then produce alcohol, a basic chemical substance of multiple functions ranging from combustion to detergent. Without the imitation of birds, humans would have never realized the dream of flying in the sky, not mention conquering the outer space. Moreover, many species comes as our friend in our daily life. For example, the dog, which is viewed as the most considerate partner of humans. It not only shows loyalty to us but also teaches us how to be a good friend by accompanying us whenever we are elevated or grieved. So you see, it is those creatures that enrich our material and mental life.

Admittedly, I concede that many species which are confronted the fate of extinction need to be protected by humans, but we are not supposed to pitch efforts to some species whose fate are determined by natural choice. According to Darwin, a brilliant English biologist in seventeenth century, any species have to be faced with the fierce intra-competitions and inter-competitions for food, water and living space, and the species which fails to own the capabilities to compete with others will come to the end of its life. Thus, some extinctions of species may come from its intrinsical weakness such as poor ability to gather nutrients or to reproduce. Under these cases, it is justified that endeavors are not necessary to be poured.

Furthermore, hampered by the limitation of money, energy and time, the society cannot try its best to save the endangered species, instead a meticulous consideration should be put before any measures are taken into effect. For the aim to enhance the overall quality of people's life, the society ought to keep a good balance of the nation's economy as well as the protection of endangered species. To take the ecological experimental area as an example, the agricultural planation is friendly to the environment, for it takes good use of the waste of animals to provide nutrient to the plants. In return, a small proportion of plants is the food of these animals. Above all, it is an incessant circulation of nutrients and energy, which creates great profits while exerting little impact to the nearby surroundings. In this way, people can not only protect the habitats of creatures, but boost the acceleration of economy.

In a nutshell, we clearly become aware of the basic fact that human committed some negative influence on the survival of extinct species, and we have the obligation to protect them for we and the other creatures are the common owners of the planet and we are friends. Even if restricted by the available money and resource, we could throw effort on the economic construction which presents little harm to the environment and take efficient and applicable measures to achieve the goal, and ultimately shaper a brighter future for the overall creatures in the planet.

104.To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards.

Whether a government official, for the sake of efficiency, is supposed to behave in accordance to the highest ethical and moral criteria? I partly in favor of the speaker's argument. However, the speaker unnecessarily makes an extreme assertion by citing the "highest". Looking into depth, unfounded aspects of the argument are betrayed-what are these important standards for ethics and morality, and how to remain them? My points of contention with the speaker involve examples from different aspects, as discussed below.

At the very beginning, the adherence to relatively high ethical and moral standards in the long term is a precise reflection of the leader's own capacity. Specifically, persisting in the devotion on official issues, a leader's personality of perseverance can be manifested to the public; a prudent official who is always chary to tackle his tasks is able to create an image of discretion; and a governor who never accepts subornations from others is a good indicator of his integrity. All insistence in high standards of ethics and morality-tenacity, circumspection and righteousness-bolsters that a leader can be trusted by his residents, for he is competent to pull people through quandaries, therefore guarantees the well-being of the general.

Moreover, a leader, maintaining a certain high degree of ethical and moral standards, is able to guide the residents to a right direction in behaviors and thoughts thus contributes to the society as a whole. Since a leader is the public figure from whom the residents mainly learn how to act as individuals of excellent characters, such as frugality, self-discipline and integrity. Within a region, a leader is meticulous in his work and frugal in daily life, then he certainly exerts considerable positive influence on residents who consciously and unconsciously regard him as a role model. Accordingly, the majority people in region tend to act out discretion and frugality. It is firmly conceived that this leader will dispose his residents to have a faith on him and thus less obstacles will be met when he is engaged to carry out some policies contributing the public. This, to some extent, will show his efficiency in government issues.

Admittedly, I concede that a public official's obedience of rules from the aspect of ethics and morality presents greatly on himself and the overall residents. Yet hardship can be encountered when people come to judge which is the highest ethical and moral standards because of the various backgrounds and diverse sights derived from their knowledge received. For instance, a leader who comes from a traditional family holding honesty as its foremost principal takes lies as his aversion, even if some white lies are helpful in his work. Or a public official regards asperity as essential as his life. So, he pours all his effort into avoiding extravagance in his life ranging from meals to housing. And he even overreacts to others who breach his taboo. In this way, it is fairly difficult to determine clearly which standards are of magnitude in terms of ethics and morality for an effective leader to obey and it will be okay when the official is loyal to the statutes and regulation relevant to his work.

Besides, eager to make a difference during his tenure, an aspirant leader who is bigoted to his principles may narrow down his chances to get promotion in the little bit murky environment of politics. According to encyclopedia, politics consists of "social relations involving authority or power" and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy. Here, it is obvious that politics is of complexity which requires a brilliant public official's flexibility to problem solving process. For example, an upright leader may find necessity to withhold some vital message from the public, even though this action comes opposite to the standards of his inner heart. In order to realize something beneficial for the residents, the first thing for an effective leader need to do is keep a balance of his standards for ethics and morality and the some adaptable methods to deal with political issues, instead of maintaining his principles with tenacity and blindness.

In a nutshell, it is founded that an effective leader needs to be an supporter as well as advocator of the ethical and moral standards, but the maintenance of so called "highest" standards is unjustified as complexity is on the judgment of these highest standards. After all, the basic liability for an effective leader is to strive for the general welfare of his people which is the pivot of every issue. As long as a leader is committed to the interests of the most people, he is an qualified leader.

Colleges and universities should require all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.

Whether colleges and universities are supposed to encourage their faculty to appropriate part of their time on the courses they teach instead of the academic researches? The answer is controversial: some people prefer to pour large amount of time on their research projects; others, however, place considerable emphases on pedagogical tasks. As for me, neither of these two points is completely right. Instead, authorities of colleges and universities ought to combine research tasks and teaching ones organically and then to enhance their reciprocal influence.

At the very beginning, it is the students that consist of the major part of campus, thus education is the primary task for faculty in colleges and universities. According to Aristotle, the school is a place where diverse scientific information gathers ranging from astronomy, geography as well as ethics and morality, riveting a good number of students who are eager for knowledge. This means that the cultivation of students should be given the precedence. For example, the Harvard University, a university enjoys great prestige all over the world, was born with the conviction of Veritas , engaged in equipping every students with valuable knowledge. Youngsters go to colleges or universities in the sake of acquisition of pragmatic and useful knowledge which will help them stay in a favorable position in the future job market. It is the basic obligation  to teach students multiple courses and more importantly how to learn. Therefore, the faculty are responsible to pay considerable concentration on teaching tasks.

Moreover, faculty can also reap benefits from their teachership. With more chances to communicate with youthful students about the courses related to their researches, professors are probably lucky to be struck by an critical inspiration by accidental words from a smart student. In other words, without teaching, hardly can a professor come across inspiration vital in his researches, in spite of his erudition. Besides, a meticulous professor, in order to assure everything delivered in class, usually has an inclination to go over his teaching plans over and over again. Opportunities are this assiduous professor may extinguish out something fairly significant while preparing his lectures. Thus, teaching is a conducive access for professors to grasp certain innovative views.

Furthermore, the teaching job plays an indispensable role in the relief in the psychological pressure of professors who are tired of research projects for a moment. Spending most of time in a laboratory without appreciating warm sunlight and breeze wind, a professor may feel frustrated and uninspired, especially when he accomplishes little on his research after a relatively long-period experiments. Conversely, the teaching is able to pull him through the quandary by getting him out of the experiment room and then affected by his students' inexhaustible passion. It is likable  that they can discuss with each other about points related to major and even daily life. This undoubtedly exerts positive great impacts on the improvement of professors' mental conditions, preventing them from catching mental disease such as melancholia because of the heavy stress from research projects .

Admittedly, I concede, to some degree, that education on students grants compelling advantages to some professors on their researches and mental conditions. Yet, it is reckless to expand the range of those professors to faculty in colleges and universities, for faculty represents both professors who mainly work on teaching tasks and ones whose best energy and time is devoted on researches. Despite of the obvious strength of education on students, we cannot be blind to the magnitude of research programs. Since some majors is closely associated with the researches carried about to
promote the advancement of the whole field, research professors focusing on the invention of high-technology devices are demanded to devote relatively large part of their time on such programs. Particularly, the development of mobile phone is soaring enforced by the persistent trials of many brilliant experts. Without those engrossing professors, we may still be using the Bell-a kind of primitive phone with long wires and at great cost. Thus, researches are vital in departments whose promotions are based on the breakthrough from experiment.

Considering both ascendance of teaching tasks and research projects, it presents a dilemma choice to pick out one over the other. However, we are able to come up with some flexible methods. On one hand, in the research-based departments, it is available to hire more experienced professors for teaching tasks to sustain the routine research works. On other hand, students can be encouraged to take part in the process of research projects from which they can acquire much appliable knowledge about the courses related. Perhaps, those intelligent students possibly put forward some
amazing ideas which contributes to the research.

In a nutshell, it is imprudent to require all faculty to pitch their effort on research. After all, the main task for colleges and universities is to foster the next generation in the term of the multiplicity of knowledge. Taking into account merits of teaching and research, it is more advisable to develop them together and maximize their influence on both students and faculty, and the colleges or universities.
提纲:
教学是学校的首要任务
Professor可以从教学中获得灵感(inspiration)
教学可以缓解繁忙研究产生的压力(relieve professors from heavy psychological pressure resulted from busy researches, melancholia)
All faculty不现实,对于一些research-based research,research也不能被耽误
研究为主的院校可以hire更多讲师授课,也可以让学生参与研究
Conclusion:把education和research结合起来,让二者互相作用,将好处最大化。

argument41
The author recommends that government should encourage the safety on bicycle while place less emphasis on helmets in the argument.  Based on the results of two surveys that there is a growing tendency for bicyclists to wear helmets but the number of accidents related with bicycles are ballooning, the author unfairly gets the judgment that people have inclination to take ricks on road with the promise of helmets on safety. Even though it is superficial founded, a comprehensive inspection will demonstrate the absurdness of the argument.

At the very beginning, the author falsely interprets the consequences of these two surveys. On one hand, the change on the percentage does not necessarily manifest the essence of problems. The 200 percent's increase in the bicycle-related accidents is an extreme number which only explain for the main trend. I concede that there is more people involved in the accidents, the number of which, however, increases together with the overall population of the region. Odds are that the number of people who have immigrated to this area gets a 300 percent's increase. Thus, compared to the increase of the bicycle accidents, the ratio of people who get hurt while riding is declined, which largely due to the popularity of wearing helmets. On the other hand, failing to take into account the the number of people who wear helmets involved in accidents, the two surveys are not aptly correlated with each other. Perhaps those who encounter accidents when riding bicycles are the people wearing no safety protection such as helmets. Under these cases, unless the author offers sufficient information about the surveys, hardly can we make a relation between the helmets and bicycle-related accidents.

Furthermore, the arguer rashly makes a supposition that bicyclists' feeling more safety by wearing helmets. He just ignores other possible factors of the bicycle accidents. It is of great possibility that the car drivers involved in the accidents are careless while driving and thus disobey traffic rules. Specifically, a private car driver probably neglects red lights in the intersection in sake of saving some time. So, these unwary drivers instead of bicyclists are the individuals to take responsibility for the accidents. Unluckily, the author is not able to put forward any evidence that bicycle-related accidents result when bicycle riders feel safer by wearing helmets. To buttress the argument, the author must demonstrate further details in the argument.

Moreover, the recommendation suggested by the author is of less significance to be carried out without considering possible consequences. Firstly, the author does not offer any information about the following effects of people who receive the education about bicycle safety. It is commonly acknowledged that a certain degree of people, especially the young, hold an unfavorable attitude towards the routine education, even if it is for their own safety. Perhaps, those people may demonstrate more interests to taking risks to bicycle on road regardless of severe traffic conditions. Secondly, it is unjustified to override the essential function of helmets. According to experts in the field of medicine, a excellent helmet can exerts protective impacts on people's head, especially knocked into something hard, such as a big tree or the iron-made objects. Undoubtedly, the helmet is an inevitable equipment for bicyclists.

In sum, the author fails to offer detailed information in the surveys about the respondents and number of people who wear the helmets involved in the accidents, thus he misrepresents the consequence of the surveys by contend irrationally that  people are faced more risks because of their helmets. What is more, he ignores other factors of the accidents. Only if these details are included in the argument will the author draws the recommendation firmly.

argument45
The author unfairly predicts the positive influences on the total enrollment and budget problems exerted by the adoption of online degree programs. Predicated on the 50 percent increase on the number of students enrolled in Omni University and the decrease on expenditures for dormitory and classroom during the same year, the author denotes that Humana University can also reap the same fruits as Omni. However, this argument is achieved recklessly, which can be illuminated by a comprehensive scrutiny and specific examples in the following article.

At the very beginning, the increment on the enrollment does not necessarily contribute to the drop on money spent on the construction and repairment of dormitories and classrooms despite of the simultaneity of these two changes. On one hand, the 50 percent's increase on enrollment of students is not significant and convincing as we have no idea about the number of the students who get matriculated this year. Here, the growth of 15 percent in number merely informs us of ascensive trend. On the other hand, even if I concede the rise on the number of students, due to the online programs, the author fails to demonstrate the impacts of these programs on the decline in expenditures. It is likely that the university authorities have just delivered advocation in which they appeal students to save the resources such as water and electricity. Therefore, the sharp fall in expenditures not because of the online degree programs, but the improvement of students' conception of frugality.

Moreover, it is unjustified for the author to apply the same policy of online programs from Omni University to Humana University without consideration of the variations on geography, tradition on education, and more importantly the main contents of the courses they offer. Perhaps it is the reason that Omni University is located in a mountainous region which presents much barriers as students get educated here, thus online programs are of more convenience. Conversely, Humana University is in a town where the roads are broad and seldom can people here encounter traffic jam. In this case, the online courses may not be popular among students. Or perhaps Omni University is focused on majors such literature and art which is mainly consisted of theories and self-practice, so the application for online degree programs is encouraged by Omni. On the contrary, Hamana University is a university  preponderant in technology and science. Students of this university are required to set aside large amounts of their time on experiments and face-to face communication with their professors and classmates. Under this case, it is essential and conventional for students to go to the campus for study.

Last but not least, based on the hypothesis that conditions of Humana University are similar to the ones of Omni University, the prediction given in the argument is still unfounded, as the author is not able to provide us with any information about the possible results after the policy is implemented in Humana University. In spite of the obvious increase on the number of students enrolled in Humana University, the capital invested on the establishment of online programs is considerable, which cannot be compensated by the  augment of current enrollment. Furthermore, nobody could precisely predict people's vagarious attitude on online programs in the future. Odds are that relatively great number of students will return to campus with the support of advanced transportations which will enable them to arrive at campus in shorter time and with comfort, regardless of the geographic limitation. Unless the author can assure the stable development of online programs and its popularization among residents, the pronounced advantages of online project will not be guaranteed.

In sum, the author imposes the causal connection between the increase on enrollment and the decrease on expenditures on campus, unreasonably ignores the difference between Omni University and Humana University and fails to demonstrate the possible factors which may hamper the prospective development of online programs. Therefore, any predictions founded on these reasoning are of little sense. To draw a firm conclusion, the author is supposed to take into account the whole circumstances related to the argument.

43. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and to disobey and resist unjust laws.

Whether every member of a society is responsible to embrace just laws and refuse unjust laws, as the speaker suggests? As for me, the basic duty for a resident is to support the disinterested statutes and regulations, while we are not supposed to ignore the variations on people's thoughts toward justice. A series of points and specific examples will be displayed in the following article to bolster my conclusion.

In the first place, we have to concede that there is some prejudice on certain group in laws. The policy for university entrance examination in China is a persuasive example. As with the large number of children in China who are eager to get educated in universities and colleges, the limitation on university is more strict than ever. One of the most controversial policy under question is the difference on requirement for scores which are vital for the application to university. Prodded by the protectionism in educational law, the scores of students living in the capital city are relatively lower when those students get matriculated in the Peking University, which enjoys great prestige in China. However, other places such as Shandong Province where the students are asked higher scores to get enrolled in their dream universities, which are approximately 200 more than the scores of capital's students. In this case, it is apparent that students are suffering from the unjust laws.

Moreover, it is the resistance to inequitable laws that advances the improvement of society. According to Socrates, the laws of a society must conform the willingness to the majority of its people. It is likely that government will be overturned by its people when these laws are unsuitable to the development of the society at that time. For instance, the slavery once was dominant in American society in the 17th century when the white took up the overriding positions in politics, economics and culture. Yet through disobeying the iniquitous slavery, the black people as well as the white progressists persistently strove for the manumission of the slaves who were faced with hazards of exposure and starvation. And the Civil War exerted the significant influence on advance of the whole society. The overthrow of feudalism is also a good case. Afflicted by the stringent policy of tax and penalty, the plebeians provoked rebellion against the government with arms and joined the alliance to put an end to the sovereign of the society and its inequitable laws.

Given the existence of unjust laws and positive impacts pitched by people's obedience on the enhancement of the society, it seems justified for us to rebuff unfair laws. Nevertheless, hardship can be met when we judge the validity of these laws since people's insights vary from each other due to the different geographic regions, traditions as well as the knowledge they have acquired. Currently, some people in the west tend to have a favorable attitude on euthanasia, others in the east, however, regard this action as the violation of basic meaning of life. The abortion is also an issue of much ambivalence: the Japanese shows little scruple towards it, while in many other countries, residents maintain, that abortion actually hurts the women's health and babies' right to live. Additionally, it is accepted in occidental countries that homosexuals can have an equal marriage as normal people, which even is added into certain law. Notwithstanding, many others are still hesitated about it holding the reason that the intimate behaviors of homosexuals in public corrupt the moral climate. Above all, the standards of ethnics and morality differ from nation to nation, producing considerable difficulty to unify the criteria for justice among people all over the world.

We must be aware of the possible negative results of individuals' actions towards on just and unjust laws. There is no denying that individuals' attitudes and their certain movements exert positive impacts on the society under most cases. Yet we cannot be blind to the passive consequences on the society. As people's thoughts on righteousness are diverse, they have an inclination to behave according to their own believes. In this way, the society probably is faced with a state of commotion and anarchy by the indulgence of disobedience on biased laws which serve merely for the part of people who own power and fortune. Thus, the reckless indulgent of people's reaction towards laws will incur probable effects opposite the original ones.

To guarantee the sustaining improvement of the society, the principal obligation for governments is to set the unified standards on justice and enact systematic and disinterested laws to ensure it. As long as every individual reaches consensus on the equality and rationally adhere to just laws and reject unjust ones in accordance to the laws will the society move in a correct direction.

提纲:
确实有一些法律中存在对特殊群体的歧视(中国高考制度)
反抗不公正的法律能推动社会的进步(slavery, feudalism)
人们很难就公正得到一致的标准(euthanasia, abortion, homosexual)
有时候反抗不公平的法律也会产生一些负面影响(commotion, anarchy)
结论:政府应尽力让公民达成正义的共识,并建议完善的公正的法律以保证社会的持续进步。

Formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits than set them free.

Whether our thoughts and feelings are inclined to be hampered other than freed by formal education, as the speaker maintains? I partly accept the limitation of the relatively stiff formal education as it is compared with alternative modern education. Otherwise, I hold an optimistic attitude toward traditional education, which can be illuminated in the following article.

Admittedly, I concede that to some degree the formal education fails to catch up with other informal education in terms of the cultivation of students' innovation. On one hand, formal education tends to demand students to stay in the classroom and listen to the teacher's lecture, fettered and less passionate. Conversely, the informal education enables children to go out and learn from playing. Specifically, the children will be able to pay a visit at the national park where they can appreciate the miracle of the nature: diversity of creatures and the feeling of vibrancy. In this way, the children will involuntarily acquire accumulation of useful knowledge related to biology. On the other hand, it is the contents that differs between conventional education and unconventional one. It is commonly acknowledged that children are generally taught mathematics, English, chemistry, etc in school, which are normal courses. In contrast, many courses referring to pragmatic skills such as interpersonal skills and oratory will be available for children taking part in the unformal education. Thus, formal education does not seem to be well suitable for students to follow at present.

However, advantages attached to the formal education cannot be underestimated. In the first place, it is the formal education that fosters our basic skills. For instance, it helps us obtain abilities to read, write and even how to communicate with others, all of which cannot be taught in informal classes which focus more attention on the further development of children's interest. As the formal educational has been tested over and over again, its validity can be guaranteed. In traditional classrooms, pedagogues with expert skills and patience are engaged to guide their students in a more correct direction at the inchoate period of learning. While lacking adequate trials before courses are carried out on children's study, the informal education may incur dissatisfying results. According to a recent investigation, most extraordinary individuals ascribe their success to the enlightening courses given in the primary schools by formal education. It is conspicuous that formal education plays an essential role in laying a firm foundation for our progress in the future.

Furthermore, the situations of formal education will be gradually improved as an increasing number of experts in education are becoming aware of the rigidity of formal education. Luckily, authorities of schools have placed considerable emphases on the cultivation of students' experimental capacity. The addition of requirements for experiment in colleges and universities is a good case to bolster my point. Here, students need to not only listen to the professors' lectures but also pitch large energy and time for the procurement of good academic grades. Accordingly, a brilliant student majored in computer science will sharp his ability to write a computer program to realize the basic counting task. And a student expert in biology can tell more about the vertebrate's structure with ease after the devotion of amounts of effort on the anatomy of rats. With the sustaining modification on formal education, the students will be equipped with more practical skills relevant of their majors, rising them in favorable positions in the future job market.  

What is more, the purpose of formal education is conformed to the development of the society, namely, provide students owning creative thinking to different fields such as business, art or government. According to Socrates, nothing can maintain stable, which can be applied well on the movement of formal education. As time elapses, the goals of formal education move forward together with vagarious need of the society. Prodded by the trend that the society is in urgent demand of specialists with inspiration on their majors, the formal education adopts alternative methods which stress the significance of creativity. Thus, instead of inhibiting our minds and spirits, the formal education produces positive impacts on the advancement of our innovation.

In sum, in spite of the relative rigidity of formal education, we will embrace the formal education because of its merits on the cultivation of fundamental knowledge and basic learning skills as well as the change on its purpose and methods. I am convinced with the persistent effort on the improvement of the whole aspects of formal education will it shape us a brighter future.
