【题目解析】

题目大意：有人认为中学生应当学习国际新闻课程，另一些人认为这浪费了他们宝贵的学习时间

【思路分析】

本题为讨论双方类型，需要分别对题目的两个观点进行论证。可参考的论点如下：

加入国际新闻作为科目的理由可以强调如今社会的国际化程度日益增加，通过国际新闻可以了解到其他文化与自己的不同，从而形成国际视野和更开放的心态。此外学习国际新闻可以促使学生们更好地学习其他科目，运用所学进行分析，并且从不同的角度分析事件，培养批判思考能力。

关于浪费时间的说法也确实有道理。本阶段的中心应当是其他核心课程，它们才能够提供最重要的知识与技能，鉴于青少年的学习日程已经很繁忙，再安排时间学习国际新闻会构成压力。此外国际新闻与学生自己的生活关联度很低，这会让他们感到困难并且没有动力进行一些话题的讨论，因此这些时间还不如用到其他的内容上

【写作思路】

开头段：改写题目，呈现双方观点。

主体第一段：说明学习国际新闻的合理性。

主体第二段：说明其他人认为浪费时间的原因。

结尾段：表明个人立场，建议整合国际新闻到已经存在的一些科目上提供背景信息。

【参考范文】

The curriculum for secondary education often needs updating to equip students with the skills necessary to adapt to society. While some people propose adding international news as a subject in school, others express the concern about study time allocation.

Advocates for an international news subject may claim that, in today's global context, international news serves as a gateway for students to develop a globalized vision. By being exposed to events happening in remote areas, they can perceive the differences between their own culture and others, which facilitates global awareness and an open mind. This can be essential for their future interactions with people from foreign backgrounds, whether in a business or daily context. Furthermore, this subject benefits the learning of other subjects such as history, geography, or civics, as well as critical thinking, by encouraging the integration of knowledge from various courses and evaluating news events from different perspectives.

On the other hand, opponents contend incorporating international news as a subject is not the most efficient use of valuable study time. The primary focus should prioritize core subjects such as mathematics, science and social studies, as they provide most essential knowledge and skills for students’ academic and professional development. Given the already packed schedules of teenagers, the addition of international news as a subject may impose time constraints and create unnecessary pressure. Furthermore, the limited relevance of news from remote corners of the world to students’ daily life makes it challenging and unmotivating for students to engage in discussions about some current affairs. In light of this, the time would be better spent on contents that have a more direct impact on their personal growth.

In my opinion, while valid concerns exist regarding the time allocation for international news subject, I suggest integrating international news within existing subjects to provide students with a global context for the knowledge they acquire. Ultimately, preparing them for the complexities of the modern world necessitates striking a balance between core subjects and the inclusion of international news.
