Is praising good?
People, especially children, love to be praised. However, it's harder to praise people than to criticize them. It takes time to find ways to praise children.
Nowadays, praise education has attracted more and more attention in China. Some experts of child education have called on parents and teachers to praise children. They say it will help the children build up confidence and selfesteem. The more they are praised, the better they
will behave.
However, I don't think praise education can work in China. Since the introduction of the onechild policy in China, many children have been badly spoiled by their parents. Too much praise will make them unaware of what they should do and what they mustn't do.
If Li Ming failed in English exams again, I would help him find the problems in his English study and help
him find a way of learning suitable to him. Only in this way can his English be improved.
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 The head coach of the Men
National Junior Basketball team,
Fan Bin, was met with rebellion (反抗) from his players and temporarily removed from his post(撤职).
Thirteen national junior players signed on a letter to the Chinese Basketball Association, asking for Fan's stepdown, according to Guangzhou Daily Sunday.
“Head coach Fan Bin has given us verbal insults and beating time and again in the past three years which we can no longer bear,” read the letter. “We are here to protest and ask for a change of head coach.” It was reported by Shenyang Evening News that players will be seriously scolded, often with dirty words, once they made little mistakes or failed to achieve results as expected.
The news drew a quick reaction from the basketball governing body. “Fan Bin has not managed the team properly for a long time. We decided to temporarily suspend his work as the junior coach,” said Li Jinsheng, vicepresident of the Association.
But Li admitted that Fan was a capable coach as Fan brought the team to a seventh place finish in last year's U17 world championship to create the best result from any level of the national teams in the world championships. 【写作内容】 1. 请用约30个词概括材料的内容。 2. 以 “Is strict education method an effective way?”为题进行写作,该部分的词数约120,必须包括以下内容: (1) 你是如何看待材料中范斌教练的做法的? (2) 你认为“严厉”是一种有效的教育方式吗? (3) 请用你自己或者别人的例子来证明你的观点。 【写作要求】 1. 在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事,也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子; 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 【评分标准】 概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,篇章连贯。 One possible version:
The head coach of the Men National Junior Basketball team, Fan Bin was removed from his position because he was criticized of not managing his team well by behaving rude to his team players during their trainings.
From my point of view, although the strict training given by coach Fan Bin has contributed a lot to the progress of the Men National Junior Basketball team, Fan's verbal insult and physical punishment have brought great negative effect on his players' growing up.
According to me, strict education serves as an effective way to help teenagers grow up as long as teenagers are respected during the process. The strict education carried out by ‘Tiger Mum’ to her two daughters is a typical example.
Although her two little girls seldom have the chance of enjoying a free weekend as they have to attend various classes like piano lesson or language course, both of them have received offers from the most famous universities in the world.
From what have been mentioned above, I hold my point that strict education is necessary for teenagers' growing up. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 1. 这样的寒冷人们远不能忍受。

子女教育(读写任务)
当今社会是独生子女的时代,父母视孩子为掌上明珠,孩子在心理上自觉不自觉地有自己惯自己的现象。子女教育问题是教育类的热点话题之一,2010年的读写任务就是围绕“用金钱鼓励孩子学习”而展开的。该话题常涉及以下问题:父母过度干涉孩子的兴趣、爱好;如何鼓励孩子学习;家庭教育的重要性;给孩子报各种各样的培训班是否有必 要;如何正确引导孩子以达到教育目的;你对你父母的教育方法是否满意及理由等等。
实用表达:
only child 独生子女
selfcentered 以自我为中心的
the treasure of the whole family 全家的宝贝
conduct the education of the younger generation
对年青一代进行教育
take education seriously 重视教育
satisfy the child's need 满足孩子的需要 the spoiled child 被宠坏的孩子 respecting the old and loving the young 尊老爱幼 be a student of fine qualities and fine scholar 品学兼优 broad mental development 全面的智能发展
develop an interest in learning 培养学习兴趣
study harder under the stimulus of praise 在表扬的激励下更加努力学习 Too much praise makes the children proud.
对孩子过度的赞扬会助长其骄傲心理。 Family education is as important as public education.
家庭教育和学校教育一样重要。
have a close relationship with their children 与子女保持密切关系
ensure their normal growth and development 促进他们的健康成长与发展 the harmful effect of indulgence 放任(孩子)的危害
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Praise is something we all love to receive. We feel good when someone says nice things about something we've said or done. Children love praise even more than adults do. As they are in the process of building selfesteem and confidence, feeling good about themselves is extremely important.
The reality is that it is much easier to criticize than it is to compliment. Bad behavior is more obvious than good behavior — you're much more likely to notice your child is filling your shoes with shampoo than you are to notice he's playing quietly with his blocks.
Seeking ways to compliment and encourage children goes a long way towards making them feel good. Using descriptive praise, where you tell the child exactly what it is that you like, works best of all. When you feel good about your child, tell him. See if you can give your child some words of encouragement every day. Encourage good behavior with praise, rather than pointing out the bad. This means trying to do more praising than criticizing. Accept that everyone is different and love that difference. Encourage children to develop and feel excited about their particular interests. Let them feel a sense of pride about being different. On top of that,
praising a child when he's behaving well is likely to make him want to keep behaving well.
【写作内容】
1.以约30个词概括以上短文的要点;
2.然后以约120个词谈谈你对“赞赏教育”的看法,内容包括:
(1)你认为赞赏教育在当今中国行得通吗?为什么?
(2)李明英语考试又没及格, 你会选择赞赏教育还是其他方式来教育他呢? 请说明原因。
【写作要求】
1.在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事,也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子;
2.标题自定。
本篇读写任务所给文章属于议论文文体。针对这种文体的文章,在概括时我们首先要陈述作者的观点,然后再对论据进行概括。我们可以用下面的 “公式” 来表示 opinion/idea + argument (supporting ideas/reasons)。时态大多采用一般现在时。本文的概要必须包含以下要点:We feel good when someone says nice things about something we've said or done. For children, feeling good about themselves is extremely important. Seeking ways to compliment and encourage children goes a long way towards making them feel good.
下面我们来对写作要点进行分析:对于第一个问题“你认为赞赏教育在当今中国行得通吗?为什么?”,首先我们一定要开门见山直接表明我们的观点:认为“行得通”还是认为“行不通”。 然后再给出理由。如果我们认为“行得通”,可以从赞赏教育有助于帮助学生建立自信心,激发和调动其进取心,提 高学生的学习兴趣等方向着手来支撑观点;如果我们认为“行不通”,则可以从赞赏教育会助长一些学生“我还差不多”“这样也挺好”的想法等理由着手。第二个问题“李明英语考试又没及格, 你会选择赞赏教育还是其他方式来教育他呢? 请说明原因。”其实是一种假设,在语气上我们最好选用虚拟语气。针对这个问题,我们是选用赞赏教育还是其他教育方式,要由前文内容来决定:如果前文我们认为赞赏教育 在中国行得通,这种情况下我们就可以选择用赞赏教育来教育李华;如果前文我们认为赞赏教育在中国行不通,我们就要选择其他的教育方式。只有这样,在内容方面我们才不会自相矛盾。最后不要忘记,不管选用哪种教育方式,一定要给出一、两点理由。 2017届名校联合高三英语一轮复习北师大版广东专用
