A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents， for various reasons， missed the chance of obtaining a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study， they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one， the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.
However， private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing， it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment， which are essential for their physical and mental health. For another， some teachers， busy “shuttling” from one family to another， tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What’s more， some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test， offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.
Generally speaking， its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice， on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils’ potentials. Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.

最近的一項調查顯示，約有80%的學生有私人教師，這種普遍做法表明，人們越來越重視教育。許多父母由於種種原因錯過了接受良好教育的機會。當他們的孩子在學習中遇到困難時，他們是無助的。。私人輔導是唯一的解決辦法。由於家教通常是一對一的，老師清楚地知道學生的優點和缺點。
然而，私人家教也有它的缺點。一方面，它佔用了學生太多的時間，以至於他們很難找到足夠的時間休息和娛樂，這對他們的身心健康至關重要。另一方面，一些教師忙著從一個家庭轉到另一個家庭，往往忽視了他們的正常教學職責。更重要的是，一些教師渴望幫助學生在考試中取得好成績，提供所謂的應試技巧，而不是幫助他們獲得更有意義的東西。
總的說來，它的缺點大於優點。加強課堂教學與實踐，提高教學質量，挖掘學生潛能。只有這樣，新一代才能健康成長。
Knowledge and Diploma (Fake Diploma)
（1） 目前，在社會上有這樣的一種說法，文憑越高越吃香；
（2）而有些人則認為文憑不等於知識；
（3）你的觀點。
[參考範文]
With the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals to high ability and profound knowledge. Most companies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future.
However, is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this kind of idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have a MBA degree which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton of Wal---Mart Stores Inc. does not a MBA degree, but they are the most successful man in commercial.
In my opinion, diploma does not equal to knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper which establishes your education degree. But your true ability and the real knowledge come from your hard work and endowment. If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior, no matter how high a diploma it is, it were just a piece of paper, and you were as blank as that paper.

本題屬於提綱式文字命題。提綱第1點指出一種新興事物，提綱第2點針對該事物提出一種有爭議的觀點，提綱第3點要求表明“我”是否同意這種觀點，由此可判斷本文應為對比選擇型作文。
根據所給提綱，本文應包含如下內容：描述電子辭典和翻譯軟體的使用現狀，引出機器翻譯會代替人工翻譯的觀點；表明“我”對這一觀點的態度並說明理由；總結“我”的觀點，提出建議。

Machine Translation and Human Translation
In recent years, all kinds of electronic dictionaries and translation software have been developed. With the development of technology, these electronic dictionaries and software can help us translate not only words and phrases but even sentences and paragraphs. So some people come to the conclusion that machine translation will replace traditional human translation. However, I couldn't agree with this argument.
Admittedly, translation machines and software bring much convenience for our study and our work. With them, we needn't bother to leaf through the heavy dictionaries. However, machine translation has its disadvantages. First, generally speaking, translation software only can give direct translation, which is sometimes not in accordance with the original articles in logic and meaning. Second, some people depend on electronic dictionaries and software too much, which is unfavorable to their improvement in language ability.
Considering the above-mentioned, I think that machine translation cannot replace human translation, but it is a good.
