  1. please help me score it , thanks Throughout human history, education has always been at the center of numerous controversies, due to its profound and long-term effects on social development. Recently how to educate our childern has become so debated that the policy makers concerned with education have falled into several camps. Some believe that child should be educated mainly by formal education system rather than by cooperation with parents and communities; others assert that education is vitally important to our society, thus both parents and communities should be involved in educational system for the sakes of children's accompishment. I stongly agree with the latter, since our childern need not only academic ability to success in their professional arenas, but also interpersonal skills which can be improved by participation of parents and communities. First and foremost, parents and communities can provide more contributive environment for childern to promote their emotional compenencies. Traditionally our society had placed too much emphasis on the significance of cognitive ability such as reasoning, critical thinking, and memory. Emotional intelligence had not been attached much importance to education until Denil Goleman published his first widely accepted book "emotional intelligence." With a national wide debate over how to educate our children, sociogolists and critics began to emphasize the need to involve parents and communities into educational system, because they can influence children's metal and emotion more profoundly and effectively. After all, with the exception of eight hours in schools, most children spend other their time on staying with parents or other community members. More over, during growing, children are more likely to imitate their parents' behaviors and following their viewpoints, and interaction between children and parents make childern more easily be influenced by family and communities. Therefore, parents and communities should undertake responsibilities to exemplify a moral and spirital heathy human being. Additionally, parents and communities, along with formal schooling, can largley promote students' capability of handling emotional problem and ability to achieve accomplishment more effectively. As we know, those who have heathy self esteem, more confident and happier, are better learner. Unfortunately, in modern society, many children and young adults feel themselves hopeless, unimportant, and have low self esteem. Part of this problem arises from separation of formal schooling with parents and communities with respect to students' education. When a student, for example, suffers frustration in school, he or she need some help and empathy from parents or other family members. If parents neglect his despression, the child maybe become self depravation since he thinks of himself nothing. In summary, our society should combine formal schooling with parents and communities in order to more effectively improve our children's various ability including cognitive and emotional compencities. If we continue to overlook this, our childern will lose their direction in most conducive educational approaches.
  2. hi, guys, this is my first attempt to write essay, please help me evaluate and score it. Thanks so much! The fundamental function of language, as is pointed out by some linguists, is to communicate thoughts within groups so that to accumulate knowledge and make groups survive. With the advent of globalization in modern world, many lesser-known languages are being lost mainly because they prevent individuals and communities speaking such languages from communicating with outside world, and ultimately become obstacles of further development of these communities. As a consequence, I strongly hold the opinion that governments concerned about those lesser-known languages speakers should promote and encourage them to learn national and worldwide languages rahter than act to prevent such language from extinct. Undoubtedly, lesser-known language speakers have fewer opportunities to contact and acquire the most advanced scientific and technological information, even though computer and modern media have made such informatio so accessible to almost every English speaker. Therefore, such lesser-known languages, originally created for the purpose of promoting communicating and development, have gradually become impediment of improvement. The minority childern in China, for instance, compared with the majority children, have fewer opportunities to continue their education in colleges or universities because their own language prevent them from absorbing and understanding knowledge mainly published in national language. Obviously, in order to improve their education, government should take action to help minorities learn national language instead of encouraging them to just speak their own languages. Some advocates of maintaining lesser-known languages might argue that preventing such languages from extinct is not contradictory with helping these languages speakers learn other more useful languages, such as national language and world language. However, unless those advocates are willing to embrace the irrational position that every one has potential to speak several languages, they have to admit that it is impractical to assume all these childern speaking lesser-known languages can undertaken heavy burden of courses ranging from at least two kinds of languages, to mathmetics, chemistry, physicy, literature, history and so forth. With exception of those interested in lesser-known languages and related cultures, it is unfair and unwisdom to compel those children to maintain their lesser-known language just for sake of succession of their cultures. In summary, although I would not deny for a moment that maintaining lesser-known languages is conducive to social development in the sense that make culture diversity, I still insist that governments should provide more effective approaches to eliminate obstacles preventing lesser-known languages speakers from efficiently communicating and obtaining valuable information outside their communities, rather than stiffly persist on maintaining such languages.
