March 19, 201800 - [For IELTS] Discuss both these views and give your own opinion: fixed punishment or not I'm preparing for the IELTS test, if you have any suggestion to my article please let me know. Thank you. :) -- Question: Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. -- It becomes a heated debate that sentence should be fixed or separated for each kind of crime. From my standpoint, I believe the story behind is the most important part of a crime. However, I also understand the demonstrations from opposite. I will discuss both of views in next paragraphs. Some people stick to all criminals must have the same punishments because they believe people born equally so that everyone should have the same regulation to have their second chance. In addition, they choose to ignore the reason. which was causing a crime, even the criminal was under threaten. There is no excuse for a crime, they believe. Despite offender was trying to save themselves, they still need to be sentenced and taught. Each points they insist are based on equality. Nonetheless, I concentrate the story behind a case. There must be some elements to result in a crime and they should be dig out. It will be different if a crime was caused on purpose or without planning. Intentional crime should have heavier punishment due to disrespect. Those people commit a crime for fun without respect others' lives and waste society resource. On the other hand, some people might did the wrong thing under pressure, such as escaping or surviving. For instance, people rob bank for buying drugs or paying surgery fees should have the different sentence since stories behind are not the same. In conclusion, I reaffirm my statement that I support different punishments for individual crime. From my point of view, it is important to sentence according to the reason so that we could have the vulnerable people and punish the real offenders.March 19, 201801
- [For IELTS] Advantage or disadvantage: charging people for admission to museums I'm preparing for the IELTS test, if you have any suggestion to my article please let me know. Thank you. :) -- Question: Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages? -- It becomes a heated debate that should museums charge for admission. From my opinion, I agree with charging for entering a museum but I also have some suggestions to help those who cannot enter museum due to finance problem. There are some reasons for my standpoints and I will explain them at following paragraphs. Firs of all, I believe some people will support the idea, entering museum without paying money because they think artworks in the museum belong to everyone and all of us has the right to appreciate them for free. Secondly, some of them might declare that it will be an encouragement for people to know more about art if they do not need to pay. These two points benefit to people, however, they forget to mention the shortcoming. The main factor for me to support charging for admission is filtering the crowd. Tickets sold to those who really like exhibitions could prevent their right to enjoy the moment. Avoiding people just want to get into building for air condition and disturb appreciators. In addition, people will cherish this chance to watch this display if they spend money for admission. Meanwhile, for those poor persons and students, museum could offer privilege tickets to them. The money also supports museum to maintain the environment in order to provide a better space to everyone. By the way of conclusion, I reaffirm my statement that I believe the advantage of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages. People pay for the ticket for protecting their right to watch the artworks they really love also help preserve museums.March 15, 201830

March 13, 201820 - [For IELTS] Advantage or disadvantage: children begin learning a foreign language at primary school I'm preparing for the IELTS test, if you have any suggestion to my article please let me know. Thank you. :) -- Question: Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? -- It becomes a heated debate that should children be taught a foreign language be they enter secondary school. In my opinion, I think it will be better for children if they learn other languages earlier. I am going to discuss the reasons why I support the advantage will outweigh the disadvantages. Some people might reject to have second language for their children as primary school. Firstly, parents with this idea usually hope to provide a happy childhood to their kids without pressure of studying and learning. Secondly, they also stand the point that kids should learn their mother language first. They are afraid that it might muddle kids if they know other languages and become a zero sum game. However, potential of children cannot be underestimated. Actually, they could recognize and category languages if they start to learn language when they are young. The pronounce, structure and communication skill will be rooted insight of them. Once they have been taught from their childhood, meanwhile, they will be confident about this language and willing to speak out when they grow up. Learning language earlier also help them gain more acknowledge. From my point of view, culture and history will be a additional gift as people learning language. It will help us to make friends from different countries more easier in the future. To sum up, here I reaffirm my statement is that the benefit of learning a foreign language is more than the disadvantage because language is a window for us to open our mind.March 9, 201800

March 9, 201800 【两个月中文写作挑战】【第二星期:教育】【今天:法国的教育系统】(5/61)
大家好,两年前我做了30天中文写作挑战。现在,我想尝试花花两个月进行中文写作挑战。我希望我的中文变得更好。请你们帮助我改善我的短文写作。如果你们看不懂句子的意思,请你问我。谢谢!
我用的生词:系统,占,幼稚园,社区,创意,义务教育,阅读,地理,科目,继续,方向,专业的道路,学士学位
【第二星期:教育】【今天:法国的教育系统】
今天我想告诉你们关于法国的教育系统。
1881年以来,孩子们在法国从6岁到16岁必须上学。现在,有一千五百万学生,占百分之二十五的人口。
从3岁到6岁,小孩子可以去幼稚园。即使幼稚园在法国不是必须的,但是多数孩子会去。在这里,孩子们学到社区生活,好说的话(不懂这个意思),运动,并且创意的艺术。
义务教育从小学开始。5年间,孩子们学习阅读,写作和数学。他们也开始学外语(英文)和历史。每班只有一位老师。
初级中学有4年。课程比较多/重:法文,数学,历史,地理,英文,第二外文,科学,运动,艺术和音乐学。每个科目的老师都不同。
高级中学的教学(3年)延续初级中学初级中学,可是不是必须的。第一年级,学生们也有很多科目。可是在第二年级,他们选择一个方向:文学,科学或经济。选择以后,他们有专业科目。
在中学间,学生也能选择专业的道路。
读完了高级中学的时候,学生考试学士学位。然后,他们可以在大学学习。我想下次们谈谈这两个议题。0 votedMarch 5, 20182
