题目:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teaching in the past was a harder job than it is today.
作文如下,自己已经修改过两遍,麻烦查看一下,狠狠批:
Some people think that teaching in the past was a harder job than it is today as multimedia tools assisted and modern teaching tools developed, but I do not agree with this point. My views can be greatly substantiated in the following discussion.
On one aspect, knowledge has been developed in depth and breath than it was in the past. It is widely accepted that technology makes the greatest progress as it comes into the age of Information. To take discipline categories as an example, as it comes to today, the scope of subject not only limited to physics, geology, botany, psychology, sociology and so on, but also divided into more specialized subtitles, such as ethnology, climatology, anthropology, and plate tectonics. To illustrate, we may only learn that how the earth orbit around sun and how the gravity function among planets in the galaxy in the past, while the scope of study have already spread to the intergalactic research about how the cosmos emerged – the bigbang theory, and how the celestial bodies developed after bigbang. For a normal student in the high school in China, the number of compulsive subjects they should take are at least ten or twelve in total, along with the laboratory experiments. All these academic pressure exert a huge burden for teenagers to pass the exam and a great challenge for teachers to tackle, as they should not only be an expert to think over the most appropriate teaching ways, but also be knowledgeable enough in the specific area.
On the other aspect, knowledge get obsolete faster than in the past, which challenges more about the teaching methods from the requirement of society. A good example can be found in the statistics published in a famous Chinese scientific journal, knowledge of specific area get obsolete and renewed in about every three or four years, even faster. Compared with the time needed for graduation for a full time undergraduate degree in a university, the averaged time is about four years; for such majors as architect and medical study, it will need five years or more. This means portions of knowledge the student learned is out of date once they graduated. What a cruel reality they have to face, since it is time to take advantages of all knowledge they have learned in school to get a good job after graduation. From the standpoint of employer and requirements from different occupancy in society, teachers should integrate the knowledge in class with experiences in society.
In addition, more distractions emerged, which make the teaching hard to sustain efficiency even with multimedia tools assisted. For example, it is an obvious common truth that each student in high school has a cell phone in pocket anytime and anywhere, even in a elementary school. Furthermore, parents acknowledge the necessity of cell phone as a proper communication tool to take to school. For students, cell phone means more video games, more browsers, more twitters, and more friends on face book and more pop-out news. With the widely popularity of wifi connections, they can scan messages or news in class, leading to serious distractions from teaching, especially for dull teaching method or no interactive teaching. At the same time, we hear many complaints from teachers about the cell phone usage in class. In some cases, teachers become so irritate and annoyed that they dictated students playing cell phone in class to hand in the cell phone immediately, but in the end, teachers have to return cell phone to students after a didactic speech as cell phone is one of personal property for students. This process do not have any effect on edifying students and helping them concentrate in class and thus make the best teaching method in vain.
From what have been discussed, teaching becomes harder nowadays than it was in the past,in the light of more various and abstractive subjects, frequently updated knowledge and different distractions, all of these vigorous situation requires teacher not only to be an expert in the specified area, but also be an master in teaching.
