2015 DSE English Paper 2 Part A 題目
A recent article in the Young Post suggested that an 8:00 a.m. start to the school day makes students feel tired and sleepy. Write to the editor of the Young Post expressing your views on the following:
- why students feel tired
- whether or not a 9:00 a.m. start will solve the problem
Some parts of the letter have been given to you.
Paragraph 1 引言
寫信目的
As one of your local readers and an ordinary secondary student, I am writing in response to the article about the worrying trend of students sleeping during lessons.
表達立場
Depressing yet common as it may seem, many students put their heads down on desks and take a catnap during lessons. At the first glance, many would attribute this worrying scenario to early start to school. But after second thought, the reasons are not that simple.
Paragraph 2 原因 1
標題句
Most, if not all, students feel tired mentally but not physically.
詳細解釋
Many teachers still cling to one-way teaching nowadays, which makes the students feel bored. It will be tedious if the teachers just read out passages or theory without utilizing other more interactive approaches. For students sitting in the seats, the sound of teachers is nothing but a lullaby, urging them to sleep.
Paragraph 3 原因 2
標題句
Another reason is that there may be too much compulsory extra-curricular activities for students to participate in after school.
詳細解釋
Students always adhere to the instructions from their schools. I understand that many schools arrange various activities for students to join from Monday to Friday in order to enhance the wholesome development of our students. Nevertheless, this results in students leaving school late at night and burning the midnight oil to finish loads of homework and revision.
總結句
Without adequate sleep, students feel exhausted during lessons.
Paragraph 4 觀點
標題句
As such, a 9:00 a.m. start may not be efficient enough to solve the problem of students’ exhaustion at the root.
詳細解釋
Will the lessons become more interesting and enlightening after waking up one hour later? An emphatic no. It is of utmost importance for schools and teachers to keep abreast of social changes and incorporate more interactive teaching techniques like dramas, group discussion, presentation, you name it, into classes. And it seems unrealistic, if not ridiculous, to sacrifice students resting time for extra-curricular activities. Balanced development is important without doubt, but we need to strike a balance between rest and extra-curricular activities. Halting the compulsory participation in extra-curricular activities and shortening the duration is a feasible solution to the problem.
