Private School
With the development of the society and economy, various private schools arise. When you read newspapers, turn on TV, or even walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools, mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.
However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.
Were it left to me decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. (138 words)
inevitably adv.
必然地，不可避免地
deal with 處理，關(guān)于
cater to 迎合
burden n. 負擔(dān)
were it left to me decide whether... 如果讓我決定是否......
hesitate v. 猶豫
I am a show walker, but I never walk backwards.
我走得很慢，但我從不后退。
--Abraham Lincoln 亞伯拉罕?林肯
I succeeded because I willed it; I never hesitate.
我成功是因為我有決心，從不猶豫。
--Bonaparte Napoleon 拿破侖
私立學(xué)校
隨著社會經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，各種私立學(xué)校日益盛行。當你在讀報時，看電視時，甚至走路上時，都能看到許多關(guān)于私立學(xué)校的廣告，這些學(xué)校主攻外語、計算機、音樂、體育等。
然而，私立學(xué)校如此之多，這究竟是好是壞呢?正如硬幣都有正反兩面，私立學(xué)校亦如此。一方面，私立學(xué)校能夠迎合社會與人們的特殊需要。另一方面，因為相互攀比和競爭，它們也會給人們增添額外的負擔(dān)。
我們的社會是應(yīng)廢止私立學(xué)校，還是應(yīng)擁有私立學(xué)校呢?如果由我定奪，我會毫不猶豫地選擇后者。
