答案E Now, I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen. I’d like you to discuss about courses in college. A I’d like to have fewer courses. There are so many courses in my major that I have no time to study by myself and take part in other activities I am interested in. B Maybe in your major the courses are too many. But as for me, I’d like to have more courses. I’m a student of mathematics. There are many core courses in my specialty, and we should learn them to perfect our mathematics knowledge. A Yes, I agree with you. I think having more courses is helpful to obtain systemic knowledge. All courses in one area have some internal connections with each other, especially in science courses such as mathematics. B I’m afraid I can’t agree with you, because having more courses offers us more opportunities to learn from our teachers. The teachers are always very professional in some field; their professional knowledge is obviously very important for us. A Well, maybe this view is reasonable, but for my part, I prefer fewer courses. I think the most important thing for university students is to master a learning method, not to get as much knowledge as they can. It’s also very important to contribute their knowledge into practice. If there are too many courses, the students would have no time to attend extracurricular activities. B Yes, if there are too many courses, students haven’t enough time to study by themselves. They can not study well, because they will not comprehend and remember the knowledge taught in the classes only by listening to the teachers. Teachers should teach the students how to study instead of telling the students all of what they know. If students master a learning method, they need not have as many courses as they can, and they may go to the library to read the reference books or visit some academic websites to get information and knowledge. A Sorry to interrupt you. Although developing a kind of learning ability is more important for university students than to get some knowledge, obtaining basic knowledge in university is also important, and extracurricular activities affect our study negatively. B But university students should also learn a great deal of knowledge of other fields, and they should learn how to adapt themselves to the society instead of "the tower of ivory". A Sure. But I think our university has considered this. There are so many subjects offered from different fields. You can choose any one of them. B But what I mean is that we should learn knowledge from our society or social work instead of courses. There is much knowledge we can’t learn from courses unless we take part in some social activities. B Why did you say that extracurricular activities affect our study negatively? A Generally speaking, extracurricular activities require us to devote a lot of time, and some-times our activities axe in conflict with our regular study time. I had this experience last year. In order to organize an English Debate Contest, I held a discussion among the members of the Student Unioa And then I had to arrange the time and place, and make a poster to call on students to participate in it. Then, I arranged the time schedule for the debating teams and invited some teachers to be a panel of judges. With so many things, I could hardly concentrate myself on my study, so this term I quit this job. A What’s your favorite course? Name one or two courses you enjoy most and give your reasons. B Every term we will have about five courses, so I’ll have at least thirty courses in my college life. Among them, I like the course "International Trade" most. There are several reasons. Firstly, as you know, my major is international trade, so this course is one of my core courses. I’m very interested in this field. I wanted to do well in this course. Secondly, I like the teacher. She is always so kind, and usually gives us very clear and interesting lectures. She often gives us some case studies to start a discussion. During the discussions, we can learn more professional knowledge. B Which course or courses do you like the least? And why? A There are a lot of courses I don’t like. Every required course is useful to us in fact. But why are some of them boring? I think the reason is that the teachers don’t know how to teach us. They are just standing there reading what has been clearly written in the textbooks. It seems that they are speaking with themselves instead of us. Maybe sometimes they want to tell us a joke, but it’s not humorous at all. There are no lively examples in these classes. So, I think it is really a waste of time to attend these kinds of classes. I’d rather not go to class, and usually I will go to the library to read some reference books. It’s more valuable. A How many classes do you have in a week? Should the number of courses be cut down or increased? B This term I have seven subjects. Every week I have to have thirty classes, and six classes per day on average. It’s too many for me. There are only three nights for me to review the knowledge learned in the class every week. It’s not enough for me. And I also want to have time to do some part-time jobs to enrich my work experience. So, I think the number of courses should be cut down. B What do you think of your English courses? Do you like the way it’s taught? What are your suggestions? A I don’t like my English course. I think the English education in my university is a failure in fact. Above all it’s still a teacher-centered class, almost the same as my middle school English class. I don’t like this way. No doubt it is a natural product of the deep-rooted examination-oriented education. But with the development of our modern society, English is more and more important. Before looking for our jobs, we university and college students should be excellent in listening, writing and speaking. But we can’t progress our English ability especially speaking English in my English classes. My suggestion is that the class should change to a student-centered class. The teacher and students are all actors and all the students are actively involved in the classroom activities.
