Private Tutoring
Outline:
1。 为孩子聘请家教目前非常普及
2。家教的利与弊
3。我的看法
参考范文：A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors。
Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education。 Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education。
When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless。 Private tutoring is the only solution。 As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly。
However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages。 For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health。
For another, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties。 What’s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful。
Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages。 Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils’ potentials。
Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up。

The Prevalence of Western Holidays
Many young people in China today prefer Western holidays to traditional Chinese festivals。
Christmas is now celebrated by the younger generation all over China, and it has becomeespecially popular as a romantic holiday for boyfriends and girlfriends or young marriedcouples。
Valentine's Day is also extremely popular, and even Halloween is being celebratednow。
This phenomenon has actually developed quite naturally in recent decades due to oureducational system's focus on English study and therefore on English-speaking cultures。
Tomany students, Western culture has become a symbol of self-expression and freedom fromrestraint。 Celebrating Western holidays has become a way for students to express their love ofsomething different from traditional Chinese culture, and to have fun together with their owngeneration。
In my opinion, it's fine for students learning English and studying English-speaking culturesto celebrate Western holidays with their teachers and clas *** ates。
However, the way I see it,unless the young people later go abroad to live in those cultures, there is no reason for them tocontinue to celebrate them。
We Chinese should hold on to our traditional festivals, thefestivals which we have celebrated for centuries。
