问题     Nowadays the Internet media, such as Weibo, are influencing public opinion and people’s daily life strongly. Recently, students in Department of Journalism of a famous university are assigned with the task of running a personal account in Weibo. The number of their followers in Weibo will be counted as their final score at the end of the semester. Do you think it is appropriate to give this type of assignment to college students? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.
    Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
YES
Weibo represents the new channels of information in modern society. It is an attempt to ask students to run Weibo accounts and get followers, which encourages students to better adapt to the era of new media. Through the platform of Weibo, students can acquire a large amount of information by getting in touch with many celebrities and receiving opinions from different sources.
For students who major in journalism, they can become familiar with the basic editing procedures and publishing skills by posting on Weibo. In order to attract more and more followers, students will try their best to build up their images on Weibo in a desirable manner, which can sharpen their creativity. In other words, they manage to put what they have learned in textbooks and classrooms into practice.
NO
It is an absurd teaching approach to evaluate students’ achievements according to the number of their followers in Weibo. The number of one’s followers in Weibo can hardly prove his knowledge or ability. It is ridiculous to say that a pop star with one billion followers is more respectable and successful than a scientist with ten thousand followers.
In order to meet the requirement, students may take a shortcut and pay money to increase the number of their followers. What’s worse, in order to attract public attention, some students may make up fake news, or publish gossips and rumors to attract more followers. It will go totally against the primary goal of college education.

答案 Weibo Assignment: an Immature Teaching Experiment Recently a news report about college students being assigned with the task of running Weibo accounts has attracted a good deal of attention in the society. Some people applaud this new teaching method for it can enhance students’ skill to publicize themselves through new media. However, others doubt that this measure may mislead students to adopt improper ways to achieve the goal. In my opinion, the measure of grading students by how many followers they get on Weibo is unwise. Apparently, it will take quite a long time for a new comer to accumulate a certain number of followers. However, in order to accomplish the task, students may have to post exaggerated or even false information to attract the eyeballs. For students majoring in journalism, blurring the lines between what is authentic news and what are illusive lies may greatly degrade their work ethics in the future. What’s more, the number of Weibo fans cannot really reflect the quality of its contents. In most cases, it is the gossip and vulgar information that attract the greatest attention. Obviously, posting this type of information to obtain a considerable number of fans cannot be beneficial to students who will become future journalists. All in all, the Weibo assignment can be seen as a new but immature teaching experiment. Teachers’ supervision and guidance on Weibo assignment should be strengthened, only in this way, can it be more effective.
