My View on the Practice of Setting a One-Size-Fits-All Standard for Students

   In the picture, a teacher is holding a pair of scissors and ready to cut the wings on the back of one of his students. Actually, the wings of two other students have been cut into pieces on the ground.
   This picture undoubtedly condemns the damages that the practice of setting a one-size-fits-all standard has done to young students. The wings, representative of dreams and imagination, are clipped by the cruel teacher who forces his students to conform to a singular standard.
   As student myself, I urge teachers to reexamine such practices. In fact, two thousand years ago, the great thinker Confucius suggested that we should educate students in ways that suited their own differences. This advice is still true and especially true for today's teachers. What's more, the purpose of education should be to train independent thinkers, rather than massively produce machines with a similar brain.
【答案解析】 这是一篇看图作文。要求考生先简单描述图片内容,继而就“一刀切式的教育”这个话题发表自己的见解。根据题目要求,可将文章内容安排如下:
   第一段简单描绘图片内容:一名教师手拿一把剪刀,正准备剪掉学生背后的翅膀。
   第二段点明图片意图:谴责“一刀切式”教育对学生造成的伤害。
   第三段发表个人见解:不赞同老师将学生训练得整齐划一。原因有二:一是孔子曾提出的“因材施教”理念。二是教育的要务是培养不同学生的独立思考能力,而非要大规模生产思想相似的机器。
[参考译文] 图中一名教师正拿着一把剪刀,准备剪掉其中一个学生背后的翅膀。事实上,已经有两名学生的翅膀被剪成碎片散落在地上了。
   该图无疑谴责了“一刀切式”的教育对年轻学生所造成的损害。翅膀代表着梦想和想象力,但却横遭老师的摧残,原因是老师想迫使学生迎合统一标准。
   身为学生的我想敦促老师们重新审视此种教育模式。实际上,两千年前,伟大的思想家孔子就提出应因材施教。该思想在今天对教师来说仍然适用,而且尤为适用。此外,教育的目的应该是培养能独立思考的个体,而不是大规模生产思想相似的机器。
