　　与16年11月12日的考题一样：

　　Some high school teachers spend most of class time on lecturing their students (typically between the age of 14-18) while the students listen and take notes. The other high school teachers prefer to spend more class time on discussions and projects by which students share their ideas with each other. Which do you think is more effective for students? Do not use memorized examples.

　　范文：

　　The main duties of educators include facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values and habits. The frequently adopted teaching methods are instructing and organizing discussions and projects. In my opinion, the more effective way of teaching in high school is lecturing.

　　Admittedly, discussions and projects should be an indispensable part of the class.Discussion is one of the best ways for students to brainstorm, share ideas, provoke thinking and develop critical thinking. With teachers’ encouragement and enlightenment, students not only get inspiration from others but also benefit from their own in-depth analysis. Projects, undoubtedly, are also significant, as students try to discover and explore independently, which is the ideal way for teachers to help them find passion on the subject and cultivate research ability.

　　However, in high schools, no matter how important discussions and projects are for students, they should not be the dominant part of class, since teachers’ instruction is more effective at this stage. To begin with, through the traditional way of lecturing, teachers are able to impart more knowledge within the limited time in class. In high school, there are both compulsory courses, designed to help students to grasp basic knowledge for them to survive in society, and selective courses offered to encourage students to cultivate interests and explore potential. For many courses, there is much information, such as history and biology. By lecturing, teachers are able to cover more pages and explain more in details.

　　Secondly, for study of theories and concepts, high school students also need teachers’ instruction. At this age, teenagers with limited study experiences can hardly understand the abstract knowledge on their own. Even with a group to discuss together, they may fail and the discussion turns out to be a waste of time. They have to rely on teachers’ explanation. For example, it is way too challenging for high school students to understand and apply the formulas and functions in math without teachers’ help.

　　To sum up, the dominant method of teaching in high school should be lecturing, while discussions and projects play an auxiliary role.
