2021年4月29雅思大作文题目

Some people think that in order to continue improving the quality of high school education, students should be encouraged to evaluate and criticise their teachers. Others, however, believe that this would result in the loss of respect and discipline for teachers. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

高分范文及解析

Introduction

It has been a long tradition that never should a middle school student assess or question his or her teachers; otherwise, he or she may be regarded as rebellious or even disrespectful. However, I, running counter to such old-fashioned thought, consider the assessment of teachers by students as justifiable and feasible.

【解析】开门见山，直接点自己的立场。审题时，首先抓住题干中的核心：目的是什么？提升中学教育质量。该目的将会是我们考虑优缺点时的评价标杆。

Ø question vt. 询问；质疑

Ø rebellious adj. 叛逆的

Ø run counter to 背离某事；与某事背道而驰

Concession & Refutation

Admittedly, it is reasonable for some to doubt the feasibility of such evaluation mode. Since most high school students are, to some extent, immature and impulsive, they may lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong or even sometimes make comments merely based on their personal emotions. In other words, it is due to the absence of objectivity that such practice may render the assessments’ reliability and validityin question. Besides, once empowered to comment on teachers, some students may feel that they dominate the class and thus act in a lofty manner, which may incur disciplinary problems. However, the aforementioned detriments can in effect be minimised as long as students are well-instructed and foster a correct attitude towards the given “power”.

【解析】从“中学生”这一未成年人群体的特性（不成熟+冲动）出发，点出该特性可能会导致评估的信度和效度失真，亦或是学生态度和纪律问题（点题）。但是，该现象可避免。

Ø feasibility n. 可行性

Ø impulsive adj. 冲动的，鲁莽的

Ø distinguish right from wrong 辨别好坏

Ø reliability n. 可靠度；信度

Ø validity n. 效度

Ø in question 有疑问的，被怀疑的

Ø empower vt. 授权

Ø dominate vt. 占据主导地位

Ø lofty adj. 傲慢的（贬义）

Argument

As a matter of fact, behind such practice are more profound significances. It is only when prompt feedback is solicited from students - the teaching objects – that can teachers ensure whether they have imparted the knowledge in an appropriate way that all the students are able to comprehend. Not surprisingly, this can allow teachers to instantly adjust teaching materials as well as the teaching pace for the sake of tailoring the classes to suit learners’ needs. Meanwhile, students are spurred to think critically instead of learning by rote or following blindly. Additionally, in a moral sense, such evaluation mode can in turn serve as a sound opportunity to teach students not to abuse the given power but to pose criticism in a respectful way.

【解析】分别从学生和教师角度，点出“提升教育质量”方面的好处。除了教学方面，这里的教育也可提到“德育”，反向论证：这不正是一个让学生学会如何客观且有礼评价师长的机会嘛？

Ø solicit sth. from sb. 向某人征求某物

Ø impart vt. 传授

Ø comprehend vt. 理解

Ø tailor vt. 按需制作；使合适

Ø spur vt. 鼓励

Ø learn by rote 死记硬背

Ø abuse vt. 滥用

Conclusion

To sum up, on the premise that students are well-instructed, the downsides of their evaluations on teachers pale into insignificance when set against the upsides.

【解析】一句话总结：学生评价利大于弊，只要学生态度端正，客观评价。

Ø pale into insignificance 使相形见绌
