【正确答案】
【答案解析】Sample 1
[1]Teaching bad language may be considered to be "cool", [2]but I strongly believe that this is not the sort of teaching students need to learn in the classroom. [3]Using bad language in everyday life is already impolite, let alone inside the classroom!
[4]Teaching young children "bad language" is most un- suitable for them and teachers should never encourage any students to use bad language. [5]Although the curse words exist in American life and some of them are frequently used, such as in the movies and TV programs, the question is whether students should learn them on purpose. [6]Each language and culture consists of good aspects, which we should absorb, and some repulsive and offensive ones, which we should distinguish. When we learn our mother tongue in the first stage, [7] we are taught to be decent and polite rather than how to curse. So why should we learn purposefully to say dirty words just because they are in English? There are plenty of good words students need to learn.
Anyhow, a good teacher who is really suitable for a teaching job should avoid using bad language. [8]I think teachers must not teach any students something bad, especially to children.
Sample 2
Bad language surrounds us in most of our daily routines—films, TV programs and interaction between people. As students, we should be able to understand them. [1]I personaily think it is necessary to deal with bad language and discuss its appropriate use in the classroom.
[2]Children have plenty of opportunities to find examples of "bad language", especially in films, If a student feels curious about it, the teacher should provide some information and help students understand it. [3]Second language learners acquire language from many other sources as well as from the classroom. Active learners will seek opportunities to try out new language. [4]However, non-native speakers cannot really know how offensive the swear words can be to native speakers. [5]It is the teacher who should help pupils be aware of the fact that the use of swear words is usually considered as more inappropriate when used by foreigners.[6]In addition, it is the teacher's duty to ensure that students are able to understand—and react to—bad language used against them.
[7]Children are naturally curious about swear words. [8]I believe it's better to just tell them what they mean. Students need to know and understand these phrases and expressions but never use them.
