Who Should Pay the University’s Tuition?
1.大学学费不断上涨，有人认为大学学费应由学生自己赚取，有人认为应由父母供给。
2.作为大学生，谈谈你自己的观点，并给出理由。
【范文】
University education plays an important role in a person’s career since it offers people more opportunities.With the rising of university’s tuition, hot discuions have arisen about who should pay the university’s tuition.Some say students should pay fees by themselves as they pay for their own life.Some think that tuition fees should be paid by their parents because that amount of money is beyond students’ ability.
As far as I am concerned, I think parents should pay part of the fees while university students bear the rest part.It is true that trying to make money will affect university students’ studies.But doing part-time jobs will help them gain working experience, learn more of society as well as realize the importance of saving money.Most importantly, it helps to lighten financial burdens of parents.
【点评】
文章第一段开门见山，指出关于谁支付大学学费的不同意见。第二段说明自己的观点----希望父母和孩子共同承担学费，这样有助于减轻家庭负担，学生也有机会通过社会实践获取更多社会经验。
第一段中With the rising of university’s tuition意为“随着大学学费的上涨”;be beyond one’ s ability意为“超出某人的能力范围”。第二段中gain working experience意为 “获取社会经验”;lighten financial burdens意为“减轻经济负担”。
一、Computers in Students’ Dorms
1).现在大学生宿舍几乎人手一台电脑
2).有些人认为会促进学生的学习，有些人认为会影响学生的学习
3).你的看法
首段现象描述：
On many dorms, it has become a prevalent phenomenon for one college student to poe a PC or a notebook.Meanwhile, a host of parents or teachers encourage and advocate college students to use computers in their life and study.Taking a look around, we can find a great many students and dorms like this.
利弊分析(支持方观点+反方观点)
A number of individuals prefer or favor the phenomenon “One student, One PC”.In their eyes, studying with the help of computers will enhance students’ over-all development and competitivene, because rich information on the Internet will enrich their knowledge
and broaden their horizons.Even so, others hold a different view that using computers may carry some risks.First, buying PC calls for plenty of money; however, the quality of learning is not always as satisfactory as expected.Then, what worries many teachers is that students’ academic learning may be affected negatively by a variety of computer games.我的看法(或建议)
By and large, I am convinced that the advantages derived from the popularity of computers far outweigh the disadvantages.Without this machine, it is impoible for students to have more opportunities to acquire the knowledge beyond their campuses.Therefore, students are advisable to use the PC in a sensible way.
