We know that a lot of fundamental and useful subjects, such as mathematics, languages, chemistry and physics had been applied in secondary school for a long period. But nowadays, some people propose that the subject of international news should also be taught in secondary school. For my part, I think, before we add a new subject to our secondary school education system, both advantages and disadvantages of the subject need to be considered deliberately.

On one hand, the subject of international news really bring about a lot of benefits to the secondary school students. To be a modern and open-mind person, the knowledge of basic science will not adequate for his or her future career, other kinds of knowledge, such as the knowledge of society, the knowledge of laws is also required in his or her practical work, otherwise, he or she will meet lots of problems that he or she could not handle. Consequently, secondary school is supposed to play not only the function of providing students with systematic and disciplined basic science knowledge, but also play the function of helping students to be more social, more open-mind and more competent in their practical work. We could hardly imagine that a modern person claim no idea about the great event happened in the world. So, it is quite reasonable to add the subject of international news in secondary school to make the students more competitive for the society.

On the other hand, spending too much time on the subjects irrelevant with basic science could be regarded as a waste of valuable school time for the students in certain circumstance. We know that the main function that secondary school play is to help student lay a solid literature foundation and provide them with necessary preparation for his future education . Accordingly, secondary school is supposed to put their focus on the content and improvement of teaching basic science. As for social subjects, such as international news, the educators and school managers need to arrange a proper portion of time in teaching them and provide students with a more reasonable and perfect secondary school system.

In conclusion, the subject of international news need to be taught in secondary school because of its great importance, however, it is plausible to teach this subject at a proper portion of time.

第一， 相信有许多人都象初学写作的我那时一样，通常爱犯的一个毛病就是乱用词，乱造句，凡是自己知道的词就都往上写，生怕考官不知道你的词汇量有多大，凡是能用中文说的句子就想当然得翻译成英文。我还记得我第一次考之前拿着一篇我自以为写得不错的文章给一个老外看，结果他的评价是他根本就不知道我在写什么!他说如果一篇文章里有两到三个他看不懂的句子他就一定不会给这篇文章好分!因此建议大家不要一味得把提高作文成绩的宝压在单词上，我上面的文章大家也看到了，有什么难词好词么?没有!我觉得真正让你得高分的是你的逻辑结构和语言表达的清楚程度，思维一定要清晰，不要想到哪说到哪，语言不必刻意追求华丽，但一定要清楚明白。当然了，写作过程冲的语法错误是很致命的，英语基础不好的人一定要尽量避免写过长的从句，倒装句等等。我个人认为，只要你能做到我以上写的三点，逻辑清楚，语言简单明了，很少语法错误，那么即使你只有高中的英语水平，打六也是绝对不成问题的。

第二， 关于背诵范文的事。我曾经背过和吴建业的范文，我不能说效果不好，我只能说他们的范文大致上只适合两种人，第一，写作基础很差想靠背模版纯考试的人，第二，记忆力超强能把那些好词难句都记下来在考场上默写的人。呵呵，我写到这里可能要被人扔西红柿了，我绝对没有任何对这两位老师不恭的意思，事实上何刚老师是我非常喜爱的老师之一，我只是想说，他们的书已经被太多的人背诵和模仿，他们只会使你更加深陷雅思的套路之中，如果你的目标是六，那你大可以去放心得背它们，但如果你的目标是七，我建议你省下背雅思作文的时间去背一背那写经典的外国人写的东西，比如新概念。一旦你背得足够多，量变导致成质变，你就行成了那种SENSE，这是非常重要的，我第二次考鸭之前用半个月的时间背了足有三十篇专家写的地道的雅思作文，于是背完之后我就有了这种SENSE，考了两回都是七，我不是开玩笑，我说的都是我的亲身经历。这不管对应付雅思考试很重要，这对于你出国之后经常被要求写两三千字的ESSAY的时候也是受益终生的。

第三， 这段有做广告的嫌疑，在我第一次考试作文打了五之后，我在我们英语系找了一个从美国留学回来的老师给我改作文。这非常有效，要知道你一周写七篇作文，要是没有任何长进，这种努力是毫无意义的，它不符合收获与付出成正比这一学说，因为这只会让你把五分或者六分的作文写得更加娴熟而已，仅此而已。但是如果你能够仔细的修改一篇，仔细分析你的不足之处，那样你的作文水平才会真的有长进。因此我强烈建议大家在每次写一篇新文章之前都能找人改过自己的上一篇文章，而且至少背过一篇范文。

说了这么多，也都只是我个人的一些关于写作的看法，今天时间太匆忙，以后想到什么再补充吧，我上面有提到的我找的那个老师总共给我写了有五十篇左右的范文，虽然我还没有得到他的同意，但是有想看一下的同学可以先把邮箱留下来，得到他的同意后我就会尽快发给大家，祝大家好运!
