Several%20factors%20may%20contribute%20it%20emergence.%20In%20the%20first%20place,%20some%20students%20often%20think%20that%20the%20cost%20of%20spending%20four%20years%20on%20college%20campus%20is%20too%20high,%20and%20the%20job%20market%20is%20getting%20fiercer.%20Therefore,%20when%20there%20is%20a%20satisfying%20job%20available,%20it’s%20worth%20quitting.%20In%20the%20second%20place,%20some%20hold%20that%20the%20real%20world%20is%20a%20better%20school%20for%20them%20to%20get%20practical%20knowledge%20than%20traditional%20school.%20Last%20but%20not%20least,%20the%20publicizing%20and%20popularity%20of%20some%20successful%20businessman%20like%20bill%20gates%20and%20steve%20jobs,%20who%20didn’t%20finish%20school%20but%20ended%20up%20with%20a%20great%20fortune%20and%20achievement,%20set%20examples%20for%20the%20young%20generation%20emphasizing%20individuaility%20and%20personality.

On%20a%20second%20suburban%20campus%20of%20a%20university

The%20second%20campus%20of%20university%20springs%20up%20like%20mushroom%20in%20suburban%20areas%20in%20recent%20years.%20It%20is%20really%20hard%20to%20say%20when%20the%20first%20second%20campus%20came%20out,%20or%20which%20university%20was%20the%20origin,%20but%20this%20pattern%20is%20quickly%20replicated,%20and%20now%20it’s%20challenging%20to%20find%20out%20a%20university%20with%20one%20campus%20only.

The%20causes%20for%20this%20fashion%20may%20be%20obvious.%20Firstly,%20the%20new%20enrollment%20policy%20encourages%20universities%20to%20admit%20freshmen%20on%20a%20much%20larger%20scale%20than%20the%20past.%20Therefore,%20the%20orginal%20facilities,%20incluing%20apartments,%20classroom,%20dining%20hall,%20all%20become%20insufficient.%20Secondly,%20the%20land%20in%20urban%20areas%20is%20costly,%20and%20universities%20can%20hardly%20afford%20it.

On%20the%20reform%20of%20college%20entrance%20exam

“College%20entrance%20exam”%20has%20been%20carried%20out%20for%20over%2030%20years.%20It%20has%20once%20undoubtedly%20played%20a%20very%20positive%20role.%20But%20with%20the%20society%20developing,%20its%20disadvantages%20gradually%20manifest%20and%20the%20reform%20has%20been%20on%20the%20agenda.

Why%20the%20reform%20becomes%20so%20urgent?%20Firstly,%20the%20single%20and%20unified%20exam,%20with%20the%20exam-oriented%20education%20deriving%20from%20it,%20has%20detrimental%20effects%20on%20training%20innovative%20talents%20with%20comprehensive%20qualities.%20Secondly,%20the%20current%20examination%20has%20aggravated%20tough%20competition%20among%20students,%20resulting%20in%20heavy%20study%20load%20and%20even%20psychological%20stress.

Then%20where%20is%20the%20way%20out?%20I%20think%20the%20solution%20lies%20in%20a%20“diversification%20scheme”.%20More%20diversified%20examination%20contents%20testing%20not%20only%20knowledge,%20but%20also%20abilities%20and%20practical%20skills,%20more%20diversified%20examination%20modes%20including%20written%20test,%20interview,%20experiment,%20etc,%20and%20more%20diversified%20admission%20criteria.%20In%20this%20way,%20we%20will%20bid%20fare%20well%20to%20the%20past%20rule%20that%20“a%20single%20exam%20determines%20all”.%20However,%20the%20reform%20on%20college%20entrance%20exam%20is%20definitely%20no%20easy%20task.%20It%20is%20rather%20a%20social%20problem%20than%20an%20educational%20one.%20The%20successful%20solution%20depends%20on%20the%20efforts%20from%20all%20walks%20of%20life.

②%20exam-oriented%20education%20应试教育

③%20have%20detrimental%20effects%20不利于(比do%20harm%20to更出彩)

Should%20Peking%20opera%20be%20set%20as%20part%20of%20the%20compulsory%20courses?

Recently,%20the%20ministry%20of%20education%20launched%20a%20new%20reform,%20specifying%20that%20the%20Peking%20Opera%20be%20set%20as%20part%20of%20the%20compulsory%20courses%20at%20primary%20and%20middle%20school.

The%20reform%20has%20caused%20an%20enormous%20amout%20of%20controversy%20in%20society.%20Many%20people%20in%20favor%20of%20it%20agree%20that%20it%20may%20contribute%20a%20lot%20to%20the%20traditional%20culture.%20But%20even%20more%20people%20are%20against%20it%20for%20they%20think%20that%20it%20is%20not%20quit%20feasible%20in%20teaching%20practice.

As%20to%20this%20issue,%20my%20view%20is%20that%20Peking%20Opera%20should%20step%20into%20classroom,%20not%20as%20a%20compulsory%20course,%20but%20as%20a%20optional%20one.%20On%20the%20one%20hand,%20teaching%20

Peking Opera at school could popularize traditional art so that more people will know and love it. On the other hand, however, to some extent, setting a new compulsory course will add to students’ academic burden which has been already heavy enough. Therefore, be setting Peking Opera as a optional course, students may have more freedom to decide whether to take it or not. In a word, promoting and developing traditional culture can not merely depend on “revitalizing Peking Opera”. The key lies in improving the culture awareness of the whole nation substantially.
