2. Damaging Research

A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.

3. Education and Citizenship

An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.

Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.

Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.

Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.

4. The Teacher’s Role

Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.

Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.

5. Education Philosophy

For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.

Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.

In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.

This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.

6. Student Life

To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.

Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.

Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)

What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.

Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.

7. Adult Education

After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”

So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.

8. Moral Relativism in American

Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.

Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.

In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”

Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.

In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”

The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.

The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.

At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.

The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.

But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.

There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.

9. Schools Should Teach Values

People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”

There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.

As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”

This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.

We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.

What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.

These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.

After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.

10. College Pressures

Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.

What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.

My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.

I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.

“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”

Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.

It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.

The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.

Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.

Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.

Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.

I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.

“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.

“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”

“Then why are you going?”

“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”

Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”

But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.

I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.

Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.

“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”

The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”

Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.

Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.

“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”

Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.

To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.

If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.

Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.

“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”

“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”

I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.

Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.

This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.

They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.

If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.

I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.

I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.

11. To Err Is Wrong

In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?

Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.

Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:

Right over 90% of the time = “A”

Right over 80% of the time = “B~”

Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.

From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.

Playing It Safe

With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.

I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.

Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.

Different Logic

From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.

Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.

Errors as Stepping Stones

Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.

The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.

Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.

Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.

[英语作文写作的需要背诵的部分

写游记，要注意了解情况，掌握可靠的材料，小编收集了游记作文的写作方法,欢迎阅读。

写好游记，首先，要抓住特点。我们参观游览一个地方，所见所闻很多，如果什么都想写，就什么也写不好，只能成为一篇流水账。江河湖泊，高山原野，亭台楼阁，各具风姿，要想抓住特点，就必须仔细观察和思考。比如以游黄山来说吧，它以奇松、怪石、云海、温泉这四绝闻名中外，有“震旦国中第一奇山”之称。我国唐代大诗人李白有一首咏黄山的诗，诗中说：“黄山四千仞，三十二莲峰。丹崖夹石柱，菡萏金芙蓉。”明代着名旅行家徐霞客说：“五岳归来不看山，黄山归来不看岳”，把黄山列为我国名山之冠。这就抓住了黄山的特点。每处风景胜地都有其特色，春夏秋冬，云雨风雪，气候不同，各有特点。清晨，在黄山之巅看一轮红日冉冉升起，令人心潮起伏、浮想联翩。朝霞笼罩下的黄山，丰姿俊采，格外妖娆。云飞雾绕，使整个黄山在寂静中呈现出一片动的美感。如果你们观察仔细了，就可以写得生动、具体，写出与众不同之处。

其次，记叙要有顺序。写游览过程，可以按时间先后顺序;描写景物，可以按空间位置的变换，先选准一个立脚点(或叫观察点)，或由远而近，或由近及远;或由外到里，或从里到外;或由左到右，或由右到左，“线路”清楚，让读者看了你写的文章，就如同跟着熟悉的“向导”亲临其境一样。比如游北京的潭柘寺。这座古寺依山而造，地形起伏，气象壮观。全寺建筑主要分为三个部分。在中轴线上，自前面的牌楼、山门、大王殿、大雄宝殿、三圣殿，直至最后的毗卢阁，升降错落，巍峨壮观。左路是庭院式建筑，有方丈院和行宫。万岁宫、太后宫，碧瓦朱栏，修竹丛生，流泉潺潺，是个幽雅别致的地方。右路是寺院式的殿堂组合，有楞严坛、戒坛和观音殿等，瑰丽堂皇，显得庄严肃穆。写游记介绍景物，一定要有个顺序，不能时而说东，时而道西，杂乱无章。

最后，要写出新意。“意”就是思想，“新意”，是说作文中应该有新鲜活泼、引人深思、发人感奋的思想。游记，不能仅仅停留在写景上，要把主题开掘得深一些，融情于景，寓深刻的思想于景物描写之中。大家都读过杨朔同志的《海市》，这篇游记的立意是：“朋友，我现在记的并不是那虚无缥缈的海市，而是一个真实的海市。”这个真实的海市，就是作者的故乡蓬莱，“它比起那缥缈的幻景还要新奇，还要有意思得多呢。”立意新颖而深刻，很值得学习。当然，游记的“立意”一定要和文章的内容紧密地联系在一起，不能为了追求“新”，而生搬硬套，或者牵强附会。

此外，写游记，还要注意了解情况，掌握可靠的材料，同学们到一个地方游览，如果有旅游指南一类的书，最好买一本，这里面有具体翔实的资料，既是一件纪念品，又可以作为写游记的参考

一家宾馆新开业，为吸引外国宾客，期望在互联网上进行宣传，请你用英语为其写一篇文字介绍。主要资料应包括：

3。餐饮：餐厅(中、西餐)，咖啡厅(茶、咖啡);

4。游泳池：全天免费开放;

写一篇作文，在审清题意、定好中心之后，就要按照中心思想的需要选择合适的材料。小编收集了写作要定好中心，欢迎阅读。

1、中心要有意义的健康的。一篇文章赞扬什么(或歌颂什么)，批评什么(或揭露什么)，或说明一个什么道理，都应该使别人读了以后受到教育或启发。如果能达到这个目的，那么这篇文章就是有积极意义的。

2、中心要集中。一篇文章必须围绕一个中心来写，不能分散，不能有二个(或多个)中心。

3、中心要新颖。要善于从多层次、多角度、多方面来考察材料，做到以小见大，由表及里，从中深深地挖掘出他人从未曾发现的新的思想内容。

确定中心思想，有的可直接从题目中看出，如《勤俭节约的奶奶》、《我爱家乡的秋天》等题目作文，确定中心思想必须符合题目的要求。有的作文题目设有直接规定中心思想，但是规定了确定中心思想大致的范围，如《一次有意义的活动》、《这件事教育了我》等题目，确定中心思想比前一种情况有较大的自由，但也必须受规定的范围的限制。有的作文题目完全没有涉及中心思想，而只规定了在什么范围里选择写作的材料，如《课间十分钟》《我的爸爸》等题目，但要避免中心思想不明确的毛病。

选好材料

写一篇作文，在审清题意、定好中心之后，就要按照中心思想的需要选择合适的材料。凡是与中心关系密切的材料要抓住，凡是与中心无关的材料要舍弃，凡是能够深刻表现中心的材料是我们选择的重点。

选取作文材料，还要注意几点：

1、材料要真实。我们作文要尽量写自己亲眼所见、亲耳所闻、亲身经历的事情，这样方能写出有真情实感的好文章。当然，要求内容真实，并不排斥文章中合理的想象和联想。

2、材料要典型。有时候可以选用的材料很多，我们就要通过比较进行分析，从这些都可用的材料中挑选出最能反映中心思想的材料来写，这样的材料一般都是十分典型的材料。

3、材料要具体。写作文时，一定要把所写的人(抓住人物的语言、动作、神态、心理活动写)、事(把事情的起因、经过、结果写清楚)、物、景等写具体写生动。因此，我们所选的材料内容一定要具体、丰富、周详，这样写文章时才能达到写具体写生动的目的。2、作文题目是《我所见到的新风尚》，请你按照“真实、具体、典型”的要求，选三项材料写下来。(不必写成整篇的作文，只要把材料记下来就可以了)。

写作教学对于帮助学生了解英语思维方式，形成用英语进行思维的习惯，提高学生综合运用语言知识的能力大有益处。下面是小编为你带来的小学英语写作技巧指导，欢迎阅读。

对于小学3年级的学生，在他们已经掌握好了如颜色(colour)、衣服(clothes)、数字(number)、星期(day of the week)、月份(month)、宠物(pet)、情感(feeling)、身体部位(body)、文具(school things)的基础上进行文章的填空，如果学生能够按照文章的要求写进相关的信息，那就已经很不错了。下面是一个自我介绍的简单例子：

Myself

Hello，my name is_____. I am_____years old.My favourite colour is_____，_____， and_____.My favourite pet is______，_____ and______. My favourite food is_____，______and______.My favourite day is______. My favourite school thing is______and______.My favourite number is and______.I am______today.

上面的这个例子，如果学生能够依次能吧自己的姓名、年龄、喜欢的颜色、喜欢的宠物、喜欢的食物、喜欢的日子、喜欢的文具、喜欢的数字和今天的心情准确无误地写出来，那么就已经能够完成了3年级阶段的作文要求。

对于4年级的学生，可以写一篇介绍自己课室或者自己卧室的文章。下面是一篇4年级学生的介绍课室范文。

My classroom

I am studying at Tongji primary school.I am in Class Two, Grade Four. (介绍自己所在的学校和所在的年级) There is a blackboard in front of the classroom. There are twenty-five desks in our classroom, they are brown. There are many books on the desk. There are fifty students, thirty boys and twenty girls. There is a picture on the wall. There are two fans on the wall. (用there+be句型把班里和摆设和班上的人数都表达出来了) It is tidy and clean.I like my classroom very much.(最后是作者的总结)

对于5年级的学生，作文的要求也提高了很多，很多学生在介绍别人或者是写自己喜欢的小动物的时候很容易忘了第三人称单数动词要加ses，如：He get up at 7 o’clock(get忘了加s)，在用到现在进行的时候动词很容易忘了加ing(如I am play the piano，play就忘记了加ing)，介词和介词短语也占了很重要的位置如介词in，on，at，of。介词短语如dream of(区分dream that)和be afraid of都是很重要的介词短语，很多学生忘记了介词后面要加动词。

对于6年级的学生，作文考查的是英语的综合应用能力，而且出的题目大部分都是看图作文，这就在一定程度上增加了写作的难度，它也是综合了3年级的分类词汇，4年级的句型，方位介词，5年级的重点介词短语和时态，不过我相信只要平时多点积累单词和句型、多点动笔、多注意语法上的问题、多看作文书，那么就能写出流畅、有深度的文章。

语文试卷总分150分，分为语言基础，文言文，诗歌鉴赏，默写，应用文阅读，散文或小说阅读，作文这几项。语言基础5道题，每题3分。文言文阅读4道题，每题3分。后面的分数不固定。作文60分。

时间安排要适度从紧，稍留空余。建议花90分钟在基础知识上，选择题力求在35-40分钟完成，作文外的主观题，要用足45-50分钟，尤其是鉴赏题、语言运用题(如仿写)要充分用足时间，但也不能久拖不决，至少花50分钟在作文上，其中审题不得少于5-10分钟(这里实际还有构思拟提纲的时间)，想好了再写，8分钟检查，2分钟涂卡。但最好做完基础知识题后就涂卡。不要做一题就将答案填在答题卡上，既浪费时间又容易出错，应该全部做完检查后，再五个一组填入答题卡。这样先安排好时间表能有效避免为赶时间书写潦草、隐性失分的毛病。

20出头的年纪，和麦浪里摇曳的谷穗一样值得期待。(点评：喻体选用贴切、新颖，富有诗意，显示出作者一定的文学修养和品味。)这个饱含未知与可能性的二十岁，是独一无二的。“劝君莫惜金缕衣，劝君惜取少年时。”年轻似乎是一张革命的王牌，给一切属于这个名词的人镀着光。(点评：比喻新颖。但“王牌”指的是扑克牌游戏中最强的牌,比喻最有力的人物、手段等，与“镀着光”不一致，可改为：年轻似乎是一种革命的王牌，给一切属于这个名词的人追逐梦想的权力。)孙杨的十九岁成为了奥运冠军;罗拉的二十岁出了书拍了电影一夜成为北美洲大陆的一颗明星;邓紫棋的二十岁在红馆开了演唱会成为香港诸多歌榜的榜首。(点评：三个当下事例，简约成排比句，颇有说服气势。遗憾的是犯了“主宾搭配不一致”的语病，可改为“十九岁的孙杨、二十岁的罗拉、二十岁的邓紫棋”。)“你永远不会知道二十岁的自己可以有多成功，除非你去做。” (点评：引用精当。)小卜这个瑶族姑娘，用她服装设计的天分能给这个创业时代带来什么火花?(点评：扣紧材料议论，避免两张皮现象。)我们可以满怀期待。做自己想做的，听从自己的内心的声音，是需要抓住机会的，所以我希望这个瑶寨里走出的第一位大学生，这个“第一人”，能在这个无畏的时代，抓住当下，追逐梦想。(点评：“我希望”就是建议，暗扣作文主题。)

就好像玫瑰香浓而艳美，它的刺尖锐而繁多。(点评：比喻性警句，简短富有深刻的哲理，将其置于段首，是考场作文的一大“秘诀”。)逆流而上所要顶住的压力是庞大而源源不断的。面对穷困落后的故乡，面对无忧无虑的就业机会，小卜心中的梦想似乎看起来扎根也并没有那么深。(点评：“看起来”三字多余。)是的，逐梦之路未卜，或棘荆或泥泞，它并非安逸闲适，也可能满足不了最多人的情况，但这是一份坚挺的深入骨髓的驱动力。(点评：“坚挺”改为“坚强、坚定”更妥。)蜗牛向葡萄藤上爬，大雁向南飞，一股内心中滚烫炙热的力量会驱动你无悔的奔跑，嵌在肉里的沙粒也能助你上高。(点评：类比思维。以“蜗牛”“大雁”为类比物，形象而有说服力，深得荀子《劝学》的笔法。)马云曾说：“你不是怕行动，你只是怕走了一条错的路。”(点评：引用出彩。)薄伽丘，这个出生繁荣富贵应有尽有的富家少爷，面对家财万贯，他无动于衷，但是后人将他的《十日谈》与但丁的《神曲》做比。他生在无悔的文艺复兴，惊天撼地的他在那样万艰阻力中完成了自己的梦。做好自己，做想做的自己，是勇者的选择。(点评：薄伽丘材料典型，后一句议论精当，材料与议论深度融合，有水乳交融之效，值得借鉴。从考场作文来说，段尾没有结合材料生发议论，是一大败笔。补上这样一句，效果尤妙：小卜的选择同样艰难，但唯其艰难，方显勇毅。)

“花开堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝”。报恩固然重要万分，但错过了合适的年纪、合适的时代，所有的回报都只能如浮云掠过。优质生活充满吸引力，就如一张舒适的躺椅，但梦想令人向往，它是一张送你至浪尖的滑板。(点评：躺椅与滑板两个比喻，形象新颖，绝妙完美。)年轻的我们冲波击浪，在波涛起伏中带着成就与荣光再回故乡，也不算迟。(点评：精彩至极，紧扣材料，分析得当。先否定“报恩”(做教师)，再否定优质生活(外企)，最后回归“创业梦想”，三种选择，对比分析，作者的思辨能力，令人点赞。)

年轻的我们未来又远又长，从吾心，尽吾力，到达了梦想这座灯塔，才能更好的划向远方。(点评：哲理性语句收束全文，余音绕梁，让人回味无穷。文字简短而有内蕴，足见作者的文字驾驭功夫。)就让我们带着梦想的光环，无畏一跃，搏击长空。(点评：结尾如能结合材料来议论，更符合考场作文的特性。该考生缺乏这一意识，有时候是一种危险。其实，结合材料，极其简单，可改为：小卜，其实你无须犯难，有年轻做靠山，就让我们带着梦想的光环，无畏一跃，搏击长空。)

高考作文写作技巧：

“删繁就简三秋树，领异标新二月花。”一个有一定文字水平的人，作文时若不能在立意上独出心裁，领异标新，即使文字水平发挥得不错，写出来的文章也不过平平而已。如果在立意上动了脑筋，能独出心裁，即使文字水平一般，也能写出较高水平的文章来。

什么叫独出心裁呢?就是作文时能选出一个新鲜的角度，想出一个别人想不到的“点子”。我们举一个例子。

例文：让座

一个星期天，我乘5路公共汽车到市中心的新华书店去买几本课外读物。因为我是从始发站上的车，还摸着了一个靠窗子的单人座位。

过了几站，下车的人不多，上车的人却多起来，有不少人只好站着。这时，一位老年人步履满姗地上了车。他满头银发梳理得很整齐，脸上堆满了坡纹。面色还不错，穿一身灰棉布中山装，脚下是一双黑礼服呢千层底便鞋，这身衣装的年龄看样子比我爸爸的年龄还要大，但是却整齐平展。右手拄着一只育把儿的老式手杖。我身不由己地站起来，向前走了两步，双手扶着这位老年人说:“老爷子，您坐这儿。”

老先生连忙说:“谢谢姑娘。”同时给我鞠了两个躬，弄得我很不好意思。

我扶老先生坐好，就站在他旁边。我偷眼向四周望了一下，没有发现嘲笑的目光，心里才安定下来。

在下一站，上来一个30岁左右的男子，蓝色茄克衫，蓝色西裤，一双半旧棕色皮鞋，乱蓬蓬的头发，黄白面皮，一副高度近视镜像两个啤酒瓶子底儿革在两只眼上。手里捧着一本书几乎碰到弃子尖上。车子每颠簸一下，他的书都会碰到我的脸上，我真有.4不耐烦了。这时那位老先生一手拄着手杖，一手抓着扶手站起来说:“先生，请坐在这儿吧。”我以为这位“瓶子底儿”无论如何不会接受老年人给自己让的座儿，谁知他连声谢谢也不说，一屁股坐下了，脸还是扎在书里，连眼皮也没抬一下。我真想一把把那“瓶子底儿”碎起来，可是看着那位老先生站立不稳的样子，便赶紧搀扶住他。我心里想，我好心好意的把座位让给老先生，他为什么又让给这个‘.瓶子底儿”了呢?

我多么盼着那个“瓶子底儿”快点下车，好叫老先生还坐下。谁知他和我们一直都到了终.点站。等人们都陆续下了车，我扶着老爷子下了车，想把他一直扶到便道上。谁知老先生站住脚，回转身，把右手的手杖挂在左肴育里，伸出双手把那个“瓶子底儿”扶下车，一直把他扶上便道，看着他一直走进新华书店。

我实在悠不住了，就问:“老爷子，您干嘛把座位让给那个年轻人呢?”老先生又拄新华书店看了一眼，笑嘻咯地对我说:“我就喜欢学习入迷的人哪。”

听老先生这么一说，我仿佛也觉得那个“瓶子底儿”有点可爱了。我深深地给老先生鞠了一躬，快步向新华书店走去。

老年人给年轻人让座，这真是一件新鲜事，因为作者想出了这个新鲜点子，同是表现精神文明的旧题材，却丝毫没有陈旧之感。

Film Is Giving Way to TV

There are fewer film-goers now than before. The number of TV-watchers has been increasing. In 1975, there were only 5,000 TV-watchers and in 1985, the number increased 20 times. The increase is due to the development of TV industry. With the development of economy, people are richer than before and many families can afford to buy color TV sets. People would prefer to stay at home to watch TV rather than go out to see a film.

Although film is giving way to TV, there are still some people who like watching films not only because good films are not shown on TV but because film has its own advantage.

初一英语考试中也会有初一英语作文题，如果时间允许，书面表达一定要先写草稿。在抄写入答题卷前，要先进行检查修改。首先检查所写内容是否切题;之后检查主题是否明确，表达方式是否恰当;最后检查所用时态、语态、人称是否符合要求，前后是否一致。

我们人在这个浩瀚的宇宙中好比一粒灰尘,人的一生在茫茫的宇宙空间也只是短短的一瞬,然而,要让这一瞬释放出耀眼的光芒,必须用一生来奉献,甚至是用宝贵的生命来奉献。奥斯特洛夫斯基那段广为传颂的名言就阐述了这样的道理：人只有对社会有所奉献,一生奋斗不息,才能自豪地感受到自我存在的价值。人不可能都享受名扬世界的荣誉,但奉献的快乐却可以为千千万万的人所享受。

奉献就是黄继光用自己的胸膛堵住敌人的炮火;奉献就是居里夫人用自己的青春热血点亮科学的殿堂;奉献就是老师在教堂上无私奉献,鞠躬尽瘁;奉献就是春蚕到死丝方尽,蜡炬成灰泪始干;生活处处体现着爱的奉献。

现在有些人认为奉献是愚蠢的,只有"多捞多得"才是生命的价值。这种说法实质上是把生命的价值与金钱划等号。从历史的进程看,这种人生观是卑微和落后的。马克思说："从金钱中获得解放,也就是现代的自我解放。"如果把追求金钱与享乐看作生命的价值,那无异于用一根根金条缚住自己的手脚,只剩下一张贪婪的嘴来"吃"社会的财富。与那些用双手对社会做出贡献的人相比,他们的生命毫无价值。

公交车上,给孕妇老人让座赢来一阵掌声;花园里,把地上的纸屑捡起,得到一声夸奖;学校里,与没带钱的同学分享自己的午餐,听到一声“谢谢”,这是多么美好的。这样的人生才有价值。

让座是一种奉献,爱护环境是一种奉献,分享也是一种奉献。奉献是点滴的、默默的,但正是从这样的奉献中,我们感到了生命的充实,我们的价值得到了人民的承认。因为我们平凡的奉献,不仅已溶入了历史前进的洪流中,并且也陶冶了个人的高尚情操。也许你的奉献是那么微不足道,但你的奉献会给大家久久的温暖。也许你的奉献会令别人感激万分,但奉献是不需要回报的。我们需要做的,是将爱的奉献传递下去。

同学们,当你看见无助的盲童在马路边上,请扶他过去;当你看见年迈的老爷爷走在路上,请扶他一把;当你看见同学摔在地上,请轻轻拍掉他身上的泥土,为他人奉献你的一份份关怀与爱吧!

人生的价值就是在这世界上留下有意义的东西。如果自己给予历史的是空白,则个人生命也就黯淡无光,毫无意义。

现在,奉献的圣火也已经随着奥运会的圣火,传递到了我们身边,让我们举着圣火,义不容辞的投入到这个温暖,充满着奉献气息的城市中,将爱与关怀奉献到每个人的心中,点亮他们心中的黑暗吧!

恰当地运用修辞手法，是增强文章的审美含量、增加文采、提升品位的重要手段。如借助排比，便可以渲染气氛，增强气势，增进论证。运用比喻，便可以化抽象为具体，增添情趣，令人遐想万千，思接古今。在文中如能巧妙地使用比喻、排比、反复、拟人等修辞手法，文章就能“气象峥嵘，彩色绚烂”。

如要表达“龙泉洞上的千手佛像爬满了青苔”这个意思，若不用任何修辞手法，可这样说：“龙泉洞上的千手佛像上到处布满青苔。”语句显得平淡而乏味。如果运用拟人、排比等修辞手法，则可以这样表达：“他微笑着，看青苔爬上脚趾，他微笑着，听青苔跃上双膝，他微笑着，任青苔浸上佛头。”在这里，作者用“微笑”“看”“爬”“跃”“浸”等动词，赋予佛和绿苔以生命，生动、传神地写出了它们的生气与活力。写得情趣盎然、文采飞扬，因而极具艺术魅力。

考试作文的开头方法很多：六要素开头法、题记开头法、悬念开头法、引名句开头法、排比句开头法、拟人式开头法、设问式开头法、对偶式开头法、合用修辞开头法、巧述典故开头法、解题式开头法、诗文引用开头法……希望考生们准备好一些关于道德、学习、礼仪、爱国、美德等方面的典故、名人名言，用得上。

步骤/方法开头结尾要简练，最好首尾两行半

“大头作文”也要不得。除非特殊情况，建议考生在写作文的时候，开头结尾占两行半的格子，顶多不能超过三行半。

一、动笔之前要拟题，漂亮标题如美女

准备题目的办法有2个，你可以去网络上搜索作文题目，归纳作文老师讲述的类似技巧；二是翻阅最近一年的《读者》或《青年文摘》等杂志，根据题材选择一些比较精彩的标题，记下来，也许考试的时候灵光一现可以类比运用。

二、作文首尾要打眼，丰富多彩出靓点

考试作文的开头方法很多：六要素开头法、题记开头法、悬念开头法、引名句开头法、排比句开头法、拟人式开头法、设问式开头法、对偶式开头法、合用修辞开头法、巧述典故开头法、解题式开头法、诗文引用开头法……希望考生们准备好一些关于道德、学习、礼仪、爱国、美德等方面的典故、名人名言，用得上。

三、适当克隆和借鉴，考前备料攒信息

考试前，建议考生翻阅大量的范文，积累一些佳作的结构。如果写记叙文，最好翻阅《读者》和《青年文摘》，其中一些散文的结构是很好的，适当对其归纳总结，到考试的时候，你采用别人的“筐”，把自己的东西向里面装就可以了。另外要关注去年至今年的社会热点。

四、篇幅争取要写满，多写一点是一点

一般来说，如果作文要求600字左右，那就顶多写到700字。如果是“不低于多少字”，建议考生合理安排卷面，把卷面写满到95%左右。

有人问：考试作文如果不限文体，那么写诗歌，写顺口溜，写三句半行不行？这个谁也不敢作主，你无法揣测阅卷老师的标准，冒险的收益也许只留给准备最充分的人。

五、色彩对比也关键，建议用笔选择蓝

作文卷子是用黑颜色印刷的方格。如果你用非常粗而且黑的钢笔答题，墨水很容易影响卷面的干净。建议考生用不浅不深、笔画不粗不细的笔写作文，选择蓝色墨水，这样的作文写出来，与黑色的方格形成一定的视觉对比，很舒服、干净。注意不要用字把方格填满，这样卷面相对美观。

六、动笔之前不要慌，想了题目列提纲

列提纲很关键。比如写记叙文，要设计好开头结尾，同时要把你叙述的事情分成几个层次，中间如果能设置一个过渡句或过渡段更好。

一个训练有素的考生，列提纲大约需要5~8分钟。如果时间紧张，提纲可以简练些。

七、作文成绩看字迹，得分要素是第一

任何形式的作文考试，阅卷老师在打分时，第一眼看的是字迹。因此，必须要把字写好，不需要多美，但一定不要潦草。

八、考试作文五六段，干净整洁看卷面

考试作文要注意分段，三四个段落有些少，八九个段落则显得琐碎。除非有特殊情况，段落应以五六个为好。切忌在一段中写八九行字，写成“大肚子作文”，这样会让阅卷老师产生视觉疲劳。

九、想好主题和文体，非驴非马不可取

无论记叙文还是议论文，一般来说，多是“总—分—总”结构。议论文最好是“1—3—1”或者“1—4—1”结构，当然也可以灵活地采用夹叙夹议的手法。注意，议论文不能说了那么多事例却不归纳主题，而记叙文不能议论过多而忘记说事例。

不管做什么是，找对技巧很重要。下面语文迷网整理了英语六级的写作技巧，供大家阅读参考。

一、 长短句原则。

工作还得一张一弛呢，老让读者读长句，累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子，相反，却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主题：As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar. 如此可见，长短句结合，抑扬顿挫，岂不爽哉?牢记!

强烈建议：在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短，且先长后短;在文章主体部分，要先用一个短句解释主要意思，然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式，定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、 主题句原则。

国有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学，故意把主体隐藏在文章之内，结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句，放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾，让读者一目了然，必会平安无事!

特别提示：隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、 一 二 三原则。

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚，条理自然。破解方法很简单，只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推荐，原因：俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐，原因：俗)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐，原因：俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐，原因：俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)

8)most important of all, moreover, finally

9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

建议：不仅仅在写作中注意，平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

四、短语优先原则。

写作时，尤其是在考试时，如果使用短语，有两个好处：其一、用短语会使文章增加亮点，如果老师们看到你的文章太简单，看不到一个自己不认识的短语，必然会看你低一等。相反，如果发现亮点—精彩的短语，那么你的文章定会得高分了。

其二、关键时刻思维短路，只有凑字数，怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如：I cannot bear it. 可以用短语表达：I cannot put up with it. I want it. 可以用短语表达：I am looking forward to it. 这样字数明显增加，表达也更准确。

五、多实少虚原则

原因很简单，写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西，不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词，少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。

比如我们说一个很好的时候，不应该之说nice这样空洞的词，应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospitable 之类的形象词。

再比如： 走出房间，general的词是：walk out of the room 但是小偷走出房间应该说：slip out of the room 小姐走出房间应该说：sail out of the room 小孩走出房间应该说：dance out of the room 老人走出房间应该说：stagger out of the room 所以多用实词，少用虚词，文章将会大放异彩!

六、 多变句式原则。

1)加法(串联)都希望写下很长的句子，像个老外似的，可就是怕写错，怎么办，最保险的写长句的方法就是这些，可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。比如说：I enjoy music and he is fond of playing guitar. 如果是二者并列的，我们可以用一个超级句式：Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm. 其它的短语可以用：besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2)转折(拐弯抹角)批评某人缺点的时候，我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点，然后转入正题，再说缺点，这种方式虽然阴险了点，可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢，我们说话的时候，只要在要点之前先来点废话，注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. The coat was thin, but it was warm. 更多的短语：despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding

3)因果(so, so, so)昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩，然后我主动搭讪，然后我们去咖啡厅，然后我们认识了，然后我们成为了朋友…可见，讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序，先什么，后什么，所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系!The snow began to fall, so we went home. 更多短语：then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4)失衡句(头重脚轻，或者头轻脚重)有些人脑袋大，身体小，或者有些人脑袋小，身体大，虽然我们不希望长成这个样子，可如果真的是这样了，也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这样的句子，就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。其实就是主语从句，表语从句，宾语从句的变形。举例：This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure. 同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分：When to go, Why he goes away…

5)附加(多此一举)如果有了老婆，总会遇到这样的情况，当你再讲某个人的时候，她会插一句说，我昨天见过他;或者说，就是某某某，如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面，那就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine. I don’t enjoy that book you are reading. Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going. 其实很简单，同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句—借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中，但是whom or that 关键词必须要紧跟在先行词之前。

6)排比(排山倒海句)文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此，如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话，那么我希望你引用一个个的排比句，一个个得对偶句，一个个的不定式，一个个地词，一个个的短语，如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势!Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you. Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides. We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (气势恢宏) 要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!

七、挑战极限原则。

既然十挑战极限，必然是比较难的，但是并非不可攀!原理：在学生的文章中，很少发现诸如独立主格的句子，其实也很简单，只要花上5分钟的时间看看就可以领会，它就是分词的一种特殊形式，分词要求主语一致，而独立主格则不然。比如：The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills. Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China. 如果你可以写出这样的句子，不得高分才怪!

导语：最近几年，随着我国经济的快速发展，越来越多的人们拥有私家车。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Recently years, with the rapid development in our country, more and more people own their private cars. Some people think that private cars should be restricted, while others think that private cars should be encouraged. As far as I concern, I think owning a private car has both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, private cars do bring the owners convenience and comfortable. If you have a car, you don’t need to take the bus or subway to work. You can image how crowded and slow when you get on a bus, especially during the rush hours. With your own car, you just don’t need to worry about this problem. What’s more, you can go to any places at any moment with your private car. Traveling by car is very comfortable and flexible. You can stop as you pleased and don’t need to worry about others feeling. I guess this is the biggest advantages of private cars. On the other hand, the disadvantages of private cars are obvious. The noises that produce by cars are unbearable, the exhaust gas that cars give off are bad for people’s health. With countless cars on the street, people find it becomes harder to find a parking spot. What’s worse, tens of thousands people are killed or injured in the traffic accidents. To sum up, private cars provide us with convenience as well as harm. Whether or not afford a private car depends on personal details.

【参考译文】

最近几年，随着我国经济的快速发展，越来越多的人们拥有私家车。一些人认为应该禁止私家车，而一些人认为对其应该鼓励。就我看来，私家车有利有弊。 一方面，私家车给车主们提供了方便和舒适。如果你有了车，就不用搭乘公车或者挤地铁上班了。你可以想象在上下班高峰期公车上是多么的拥挤，速度是多么的慢。有了车，你就不必担心这个问题了。更棒的是，你随时可以开着你的车到任何地方去。开着私家车去旅游方便又灵活。你想停就停，不用担心其他乘客的感受。我想，这就是私家车最大的好处吧。 另一方面，私家车的缺点也显而易见。车子发出的噪音难以忍受，排出的尾气也对人的身体有害。不计其数的车涌入街头，人们发现找位置停车比以前困难多了。更为糟糕的是，成千上万的人死于或者在车祸中受伤。 总的来说，私家车带给我们方便的同时，也带来了伤害。至于是不是要购买私家车，取决于个人情况。
