觀點類大作文，教育類話題

　　Some students do not have the natural ability for other languages. Some people say that school should not force those students to learn foreign language. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　題目大意

　　一些學生沒有學習外語的天賦，有些人認為學校不應該強迫他們去學習外語，是否同意?

　　思路解析

　　這是一道觀點類大作文，討論的是學校是否要強迫沒有外語天賦的同學去學習外語，大陸曾經出過一道話題相近的雙邊討論題目(鏈接：)，同學們可以一起看下。審題時候注意關鍵詞：force …… to 是一個絕對詞，但因為題目本身就是反對強迫學習的觀點，所以我們從贊同角度切入會更好寫，同時題目也給出了一個范圍限定，即“沒有外語天賦的學生”，因此討論時候要圍繞著他們展開。下面月半鴨和大家一起來看具體觀點。

　　不應該有強迫沒有外語天賦的學生學習外語，主要有兩方面原因。

　　一是雖然外語在出國交流學習或商務合作中重要，但是不等于就必須要學生去學習。一方面，這些學生不一定會真的去使用，因此學了并沒有實際意義。另一方面即使遇到了需要使用的場景，也可以借助翻譯軟件或是專業(yè)的翻譯人員來進行溝通，并不需要自己掌握這門外語。

　　二是對于天賦不好的學生來說，他們本身在學習外語上的能力就有所欠缺，如果他們想要和普通學生一樣學好外語的話需要花費更多時間和精力，并且整個學習過程可能是非常痛苦且結果可能還不盡如人意。而學校也需要花費更多老師的精力去督導這些學生學習甚至提供額外的輔導。因此，無論是學校還是學生本人，這么做的收益都不大。學校與其強迫這些語言天賦不好的學生去學習外語，不如因材施教讓學生去學習他們更感興趣的或更擅長的科目，這對于學生的學習成長也更為有利。

　　Learning a foreign language has already become an irresistible trend in today’s tight-knit global village. While some people advocate that schools should set special courses to teach all the students foreign languages, dissenters believe that for those who aren’t born with the natural talent, language study should not be made compulsory. As far as I am concerned, I strongly agree with the idea proposed by dissenters out of consideration for necessity and doubtful actual effect.

　　Many people claim that the increasing connection between countries requires students to master another language which gives them an edge in communication and global business. Yet, with the constant development of modern technology including intelligent translator, the torture of learning a brand-new language doesn’t seem to be that necessary, especially for people who lack aptitude. Nowadays, having a palm-size translator or app downloaded on cellphones enables everyone to conduct a conversation, read the sign or meet basic daily needs just by touching a simple button when going abroad. Even in certain situations where high-quality translations are needed, professional interpreters with expertise can definitely meet the requirements of any picky client. Neither the smart technology nor special-trained professionals you choose, forcing a student without the natural ability to learn a language for the sake of benefiting communication never come as a necessity.

　　Besides, compelling students to learn an obscure language regardless of their will and individuality could by no means perpetuate growth. Getting to know the whole architecture of a language and using it skillfully is quite demanding as users would encounter difficulties in all aspects: flexible phrases, intricate sentences and strenuous practices and so on. The tortuous process could last more than a decade even for a general student, let alone students with less talent. Under the same teaching level, they have to double the efforts in a bid to catch up with peers, which may lead to even more terrible learning experience. Such being the case, allowing them to concentrate on subjects that they are deft at or really arouse their interest is much more conducive to their future orientation rather than forcing students to study a language unwillingly without achieving the expected effect.

　　All in all, learning could only yield fruitful harvest when contents are useful and students’ wishes are respected and followed, and I hope curriculum could be more reasonable to cater for students’ talents.
