1. In many countries schools have severe problems with students behaviour. What are the causes？What solutions can you suggest?Poor student behavior seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.In many countries, the birth rate is decreasing so that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from.When they get to school age they have not learnt any self control or discipline. They have less respect for their teachers and refuse to obey school rules in the way that their parents did.Teachers continually complain about this problem and measures should be taken to combat the situation. But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of the future consequences of spoiling their children. If they could raise them to be considerate of others and to be social, responsible individuals, the whole community would benefit.Perhaps parenting classes are needed to help them to do this, and high quality nursery schools could be established that would support families more in terms of raising the next generation. The government should fund this kind of parental support, because this is no longer a problem for individual families, but for society as a whole.2.Some people think that its better for children to go to boarding schools, while others think that they should go to day schools and stay with their parents. Discuss these arguments and express your own opinion. You should write at least 250 words.You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. There has been much disagreement over childrens education in recent years. One of the questions under debate is whether children benefit more from boarding schools or from going to day schools and staying with their parents after school. This issue is becoming a matter of concern for more and more people, especially for parents with only one child.Those who are against children going to boarding schools argue that such schools are usually much more costly than ordinary day schools. As a result, it tends to be children from rich families who attend them may gradually develop a sense of superiority towards those from other families, while the latter may feel resentful. We also have to take into account the fact that many families cannot afford to send their children to boarding schools. Again, children attending boarding schools have less time to communicate with their parents, which may eventually create a gap between them, and weaken family ties.On the other hand, people who are in favor of children going to boarding schools point out that a boarding school is an ideal place for cultivating childrens independence, which they seldom learn from their parents at home. Children who have the experience of going to boarding schools tend to come up with their own solutions to problems they encounter instead of turning to their parents or other people for help. What is more, these children usually show a more cooperative attitude towards others in case of team work than the “little emperors” in many one child families. Finally, they are generally more used to competing with others and will find it easier to adapt to modern society, which is full of competition when they grow up.Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view. For one thing, it seems to me that there is more to education than merely learning from teachers and textbooks. The experience of living with other children and taking care of themselves can give children valuable lessons about how to behave properly, how to overcome difficulties and, most important of all, how to think rationally. I believe that children sometimes learn more from other children than from adults. For another, many parents are too busy with their work to pay enough attention to their childrens growth even if their children go to day schools, not to mention the fact that there are still some parents who are not qualified to instruct children and impose more negative influences than positive ones. 3.You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.In many countries, children participate in some paid work in their spare time. Some people think this is wrong, but others believe that such work will extend the childrens knowledge and increase their sense of responsibility. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.You should write at least 250 words.You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. Sample Answer In many countries, these days, there is a growing tendency for children to take paid work, even though they are still receiving education in primary schools. Many people believe that children accumulate useful experience through this kind of work. But others criticize this on the ground that such work interferes with their studies.The first point of view has a lot to recommend it. It is true that children, especially for those of school age, need to participate in some social activities. Work will help them to enlarge their scope of knowledge and accumulate a certain amount of social experience, which is a necessary supplement=addition to the knowledge they gain from school courses.Also, taking part in work of a certain type can help to reinforce childrens sense of responsibility. Children will have to be able to handle various unexpected situations in later life. It is beneficial for them to understand their duties in society while they are still at school.As fo
