College English Teaching in China
, Nowadays, there are more and moral people complaining that English teaching at
college is a complete failure. After four year English learning, most graduates can’t
properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they translate between languages, let
alone write in English. Where do the problems lie?
, To some extent, I think, it is reasonable for those people to say so. To begin with,
English teaching at college is, to a large degree,teacher-centered. It is still not uncommon
in the classroom that the teacher explains every language point in detail, while students
take notes at times.
, Secondly, culture is neglected in English teaching because of poor text design.
With a great deal of grammar and structure exercises in the textbook, students are misled
into memorizing a large vocabulary and a lot of English rules. Few students know how,
when and where to use them properly. Finally, test-oriented education, in a sense,
misleads college English teaching in China. For instance, college English Test Band
Four/Six is so overemphasized in some colleges that teachers strive to meet the needs of
the test, sacrificing learning for the sake of test results, and students only learn how to
pass the examination.
In conclusion, Chinese college English teaching is to be reformed. English
teaching should be student-centered, culture should be introduced in language teaching,
and textbooks should be well designed to arouse students’ interest in learning to
communicate in English.

Is Money Everything?
What is money? To this question, different people hold different answers.
Some think that money is the source of happiness. In their eyes, money means massive
houses, beautiful clothes, or luxurious cars, and enables them and their families to live
comfortably. They even believe that money can bring power, friendship, and love.
However, some believe money is the root of all evil. To illustrate, they say that due to the
temptation of money some people become thieves, robbers, or murderers. It is also out of the greed for money, they will say, that some officials forget their duty and cause enormous losses to the country.
In fact, money is merely a medium of exchange. It may bring you happiness; it may lead you to a life of crime. Whether it is good or bad depends on how it is used.
There has been a debate over (中心问题). Some people believe that (观点1). They insist
that (观点1之理由). Other people however, insist that (观点2). They believe (观点2之理由). In

Is a Test of Spoke English Necessary?
A test of spoke English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). Is it necessary to hold or take such a test? People differ in their answers. (To this question, different people hold different answers.)
Many people think it necessary.
Reasons: To illustrate, they say that some students have taken many written tests, but few of them
can express themselves freely in spoken English.
And If people can’t speak a word of it, what’s the sense of learning it and what do those
high marks mean?
Furthermore, they believe that it’s a challenge and opportunity to improve students’
language ability.
However, there are also people who think differently.
Reasons: They think that there’re pains in preparation for such a new kind of test;
There is also uncertainty about reliability and objectivity of the marking system, which
may depend mainly on human scoring instead of machine scoring;
As far as I’m concerned, I feel encouraged and regard it as a challenge and opportunity to improve my language ability and career potentials. I’m determined to practice my oral English
more often, and if I am qualified for such a test, I will not hesitate a moment to apply for it.

Should University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
In recent years, some famous universities have opened their campus to tourists. For example, Peking University and Qinghua University have become tourist attractions to tourists to Beijing.
However, people’s opinions vary about if universities should open their campus to tourists. Some think it may help make the universities more famous and attract more prospective students. However, others think it may disturb the study of students on campus and the order and security of campus.
To my mind, university campus shouldn’t be open to tourists for two main reasons. First, university campus is a place for academic study and research rather than for sightseeing. Second, tourists may upset the quiet of university campus.
Conclusively, university campus should not be open to tourists.

Dec. 24, 2010 Dear Xiao Ming,
Very pleased to read your letter which was received the day before yesterday. Thanks for your warm greetings.
As for your question of how to prepare for the coming CET-4, I’d like to put forward the
following suggestions for your reference only.
First, set a reasonable schedule for your preparation and follow it. Second, don’t bother
memorizing new words since it is an ineffective way of enlarging vocabulary. Just go over the word list for CET-4 by scanning. Third, write at least two compositions for 30 minutes, at one time and without consulting dictionaries. Fourth, do more reading comprehension, check your choices against the keys and analyze your strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, relax yourself the day before the test to replace energy.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have other questions.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Han Fang
