教育类

【题目解析】

题目大意：有些人认为，学校只是把孩子培养成良好的公民和工作者，而不是让个人受益。

题型特点：本题属于同意与否题型。考生须对话题中两个部分展开讨论，并表明自己的立场。

本文结构：开头段引入话题和表明立场、两个主体段分别论述题目中两个部分内容（对社会贡献、个人受益），结尾重申观点。

【难点】本题话题并不难理解，但审题过程中应该注意将话题相关概念作具体化处理，避免过于笼统。尤其教育对个人的益处，可以落实到能力提升、兴趣挖掘等相关方面。

【写作思路】

开头段：毫无疑问，为了学生将来对社会有所贡献，学校是主要的培养场所。然而，强调集体利益是否合理，这一点并不确定，因为在正规教育中也需要尊重和赞扬个体差异。 

主体段1：正规教育的主要贡献是培养合格的工作者和公民。在学校教授的核心价值观中，纪律是公司和工厂最常看中的一个特质。鉴于复杂、优化的生产流程，前线工作重视遵循指示和保持稳定，因此学校也会教导这些价值。同样地，课程中会灌输社会价值观。课堂上对经典著作的耳濡目染和指导分析，经常被教师认为有利于系统、有效地传承传统价值。

主体段2：然而，校本学习中不应忽视个人成长。教育部门没有对所有学生设定相同期望，而是采取迎合个体差异的政策，这可以激励学生发挥他们原本未被开发的潜力。事实上，这种以学习者为中心的方法与整个社会的利益并不冲突，因为允许学生探索他们的兴趣所在并按照自己的节奏发展，可以产生更好的学习效果，并最终为他们的组织和社区做出更大的贡献。

结尾段：总之，尽管学校需要发挥关键作用，确保毕业生做好就业准备和承担社会责任，但还是应该保持灵活，允许个性化成长道路，让每个学习者探索自己独特的优势和兴趣。

【参考范文】

There is no doubt that schools are the main venue for preparing students for their future role of capable contributors to society. However, it is not at all certain that the emphasis on the collective good is justified, since individual differences should be respected and celebrated in formal education, too.

The primary contribution of formal education is to produce qualified workers and citizens. Discipline, among other core values taught at school, is the single most often cited attribute that companies and factories look for. Given their complex, streamlined production workflows, following instructions and prioritizing stability are useful on the frontline and therefore trained at school. Similarly, social values instilled in the curricula. The rich exposure to and guided analysis of canonical materials in the classroom are often cited by teachers as a systematic and efficient way to pass on traditional values of a culture.  

On the other hand, personal growth should not be neglected in school-based learning. Instead of setting the same expectation on all students, the authorities have not adopted policies catering to individual differences, which can motivate students to fulfil their otherwise untapped potential. In fact, such a learner-centred approach is not incompatible with the interest of society at large, as students allowed to explore what they are curious about and develop at their own pace can produce better learning results and ultimately contribute more to their organization and community.

In summary, despite the essential role of schools to ensure graduates’ job readiness and social responsibility, flexibility should be exercised to allow for personalized growth paths along which each learner explores their unique strengths and interests.
