问题     Along with the shrinking job market, university graduates find it’s harder and harder to get an ideal job. Therefore, they place the blame on universities, saying that courses offered by universities can’t provide them with enough practical training which may ensure them a decent job. Accordingly, some people think that universities should not provide theoretical knowledge, but give practical training that benefits both the students and the society. 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 then give your view on the issue.

    Yes:
    Theoretical knowledge only deals with problems of abstract concepts. Without combining it with real work, it can not give full play to its efficiency. As everyone knows, with the development of society, experienced workers are in great need. Companies need those people who can apply theoretical knowledge to practice. Therefore, offering more practical training to university students can help them adapt to the society better.
    Theoretical knowledge roots in practice. It is obtained from the practice of real jobs. By providing practical training for students, universities can make them comprehend theoretical knowledge more deeply. That’s why more and more universities stipulate that students should participate in social work for at least one year in their four years’ study.
    No:
    Universities are where theoretical knowledge is handed down from one generation to the next. As we all know, universities bring together a lot of prominent scholars and professors whose main jobs are doing academic research. They are responsible for imparting academic knowledge to the young generation.
    Theoretical knowledge is beneficial to the society. Theoretical study provides a powerful tool for us to deal with our own personal problems as well as the world around us. For instance, physiological or medical theories enable us to understand the way our body works so that we know how to combat diseases more effectively.

答案 Is Practical Training More Important than Theoretical Knowledge? Most universities and colleges spend much time teaching fundamental theories and elementary courses. But some students regard these kinds of knowledge as unimportant, and pay little attention to them. They suggest universities should spend more time on practical training instead of providing theoretical lessons. However, others hold that theoretical knowledge is beneficial to the society. In my opinion, theoretical knowledge is necessary and one will definitely benefit from it. Firstly, fundamental theories, such as mathematics and physics, are the basis of other knowledge. For a student who majors in automatic control, Dynamic Systems and Control is the most practical and useful course for his future. But if he isn’t good at mathematics, circuits and electronics, he will hardly be able to understand the principles and methods of how to control a subject or a process. It is just like constructing a building. How can you imagine a spectacular high rise without a firm foundation? That is, theory and practice are interrelated. We can ignore neither of them. Secondly, basic theoretical knowledge provides not only knowledge itself, but also methods to learn and research. A university is a place for scientific research and invention. So it is necessary to equip students with the skills of doing research. Let us look at it from another angle: Science and technology develop so quickly that present skills will soon be out of date. If one learns nothing except practical skills, he will inevitably fall behind the times. But if one masters the research method, he will be able to refresh himself continuously with advanced technology. From what has been discussed above, we know clearly the important role of theoretical knowledge. Although pragmatism is very popular today, we should pay enough attention to the basics and principles.

解析     本题讨论的是实践训练是否比理论知识更重要。赞同此观点者认为理论知识仅涉及理论及概念的理解,只有与实践结合才能发挥其功效。不赞同者认为理论知识很重要,自古以来大学就是传授理论知识的殿堂,理论知识可以指导我们解决很多问题。在具体行文方面,考生要先概述正反方的观点,然后给出自己的观点,最后总结全文。
    开头部分开篇介绍背景,引入话题。接着概述正反方的观点:正方认为理论知识无用,而反方认为理论知识对社会大有益处。接着通过“In my opinion…”提出自己的观点:理论知识非常有必要,人们定会从中获益。
    中间部分通过“Firstly…”和“secondly…”分别论证自己的观点,主要包括两大原因:第一,基础理论是其他知识的基础,没有掌握好理论知识便无法走向真正的实践;第二,基础理论知识不仅教会我们需要学习的知识,而且教会我们如何学习和做研究。
    结尾部分总结全文,指出大学教授理论知识非常重要,尽管当今实用主义颇为盛行,但注重基础与原理仍非常有必要。
