For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Is it desirable that students evaluate their teacher? Or not? I ensure that student's evaluations are most important evaluations since students are consumer of teaching service. In addition, student's evaluation could be good feedback to teachers and teacher should listen student's voices to improve the quality of teaching. To evaluate something, we should ask those who consume that. This is same case. If we want to evaluate some teacher, we should ask students who get his (her) classes. I have seen many teachers who don't care of student's voice and feeling. Whenever I meet the teacher in classes who doesn't care of student's reaction, I lost my interest about his class. In addition, teachers can provide more qualified teaching service by feed backing to student's response. If teachers really want to teach more efficiently, they should understand students and keep listening student's response. By feedback, they can improve teaching skill and fulfill their shortages. My friend went to school as a middle school teacher 5 years. At first, half of the students napped during his classes. As a result of asking students who napped in his class, he know that his teaching method was too boring. He changes a way of teaching. He tried to make his classes exciting and his students have curiosities about the topic of classes. After all, he became a great teacher who every student likes. In summary, teachers should satisfy student's desire to learn and understand students. In other word, there should be interactive between students and teacher. So, needless to say, the student's evaluation about their teachers is very, very important. Essay 521 Topic 102 Evaluating the teachers In many schools, the students are asked to evaluate their teachers. Should schools ask students to do so? In my opinion, this measure is generally advisable, but not necessarily. Firstly, students are the best candidates to evaluate their teachers. They are the direct objects of the teachers' work. No one is more clear about if the teachers are capable than the students in the course. For example, other faculty may be able to tell if his colleague is good in his research work, but he knows little about if others teach well. On the contrary, the students take lectures, so they know if the professor is a good teacher. The evaluations from students are more precise than that from anyone else. So schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. Secondly, the teachers have responsibility to their students. If a teacher is incapable, his poor teaching will obviously affect the students who take the course. So students should have the right to evaluate their teachers. In case that the teacher was incapable, the students should take some measurements to improve the teacher's performance, or to change another teacher. To evaluate their teachers is the best way to do so. Thirdly, this kind of measurements can invoke the potential of the teachers. Were there no evaluation, some teacher might think there is no difference weather he teaches well or not, and then will hesitate to work hard to improve his teaching. This is disadvantageous both to the teacher and to the students. While, if the teacher is aware that his work is to be evaluated by his students, and then he will be push to prepare his lectures better. However, this is not to say that evaluations from the students are always helpful. In some case, the result of this kind of evaluation is misleading. I happen to know a teacher in the physics department, who is giving lectures to some students in engineering major. Unfortunately, it seems that the students do not For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org like physics course a little. Although the teacher prepares his lectures very well, the students feel it boring. So they give a poor evaluation to the teacher. This story tells us that evaluation from students might be misleading. In sum, asking students to evaluate their teachers is generally helpful. But the results from this evaluation should be studied carefully, in case that they are misleading. Essay 522 Topic 103 What characteristic makes people successful? The success in life hinges on many important characteristics, although honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor are all worthwhile characteristic, but they are not enough, I think the most important one in life is keen observation after my long deliberation. A observing person can keep watch for the situation between himself/herself and other people, and know how to use their honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor. Being honest is usually good behavior for the most part, but it`s not always right for special situation. Sometimes, we must tell some white lie. For example, although I feel that my boss` joke is not funny, I cannot tell him my true feeling directly, I must laugh with him. Sometimes, even if we do not like a person`s dress, we must say?nice?if he ask us about the his clothing. Maybe someone would regards it as sham, but let us think, if we tell him the truth by our honesty, he may be not only thanks for us, and go out angrily. A intelligent people often have an greater ability in a little display than others, if as a intelligent people without keen observation, he often neglect other`s feeling, he can answer any teacher`s questions, but he cannot give up some opportunity to his classmates to behave. The behavior maybe not unintentional, but really harm other classmates` pride sometimes. An observing person always knows when he can highlight his intelligence and when he cannot do. A humor person can bring joy to everyone, but it`s better to have keen observation, because we must understand who can joke with, and what kinds of joke can talk. An observing person can show his humor in the suitable time and place. A observing person can make everyone comfortable, they can combine their original honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor, and do himself specially and differently in his successful life. Essay 523 Topic 103 What characteristic makes people successful? If you are intelligent, you can solve a problem very quickly. If you are smart, you could easily find out the best way for your business. If you are clever, you can catch your boss eyes in what you do. So, to me, the most important characteristic that help a person to be successful in life must be intelligence. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org In my company, I am considered an intelligent engineer. I always complete my work in the fastest way. Whenever I get new work to do, I always pay some time to think how I could solve it smartly. For example, in my case as a programmer, when I face to hard problem, the first thing I do is to search the solution in the Internet by using Google service, then I ask my friends for more new ideas, and at last I will choose the best way to do my task, and with my smart mind and my good basic knowledge, I usually finish my project successfully. In addition, if one is smart he will find the shortest way to come to success. I take my boss as an example; he is a very smart project manager. With his smart mind, he can always think out the thing that the market needs. Last year, he found that every banking system need to be secured, so he asked our members to start developing AntiSpy software. The important thing is that with his idea, we were the first one to develop this kind of software; hence we got successful result with this project and made our company stronger. One more thing that you can get from your intelligence is that your position in your company. If you are clever enough, you will make your boss admire your working so you always have a good job in your company; this means that you will be successful. From the above discussions, I firmly believe that intelligence is the most important characteristic which help you a lot to become successful person in your life. Essay 524 Topic 103 What characteristic makes people successful? When comes to the important characteristic to a person to be successful in life, some people think that honesty, intelligence, or a sense of humor should be the most important factor. However, in my opinion, the most important characteristic is to identify the goal and keep the spirit to achieve it. First of all, success means different to different people. While some women focus to pursue their success in their career, some women choose to stay at home to take care of their kids. We cannot say that a career woman are more successful than a housewife. The problem is what is your own goal. I think that whether you are a career woman or a housewife, you are success as long as you achieve your goal. Every one cannot deny that it is not a smooth way to achieve the final goal. There may be countless fail and win before success. How to cope with the fail and win plays a critical role in pursuing the final success. We can get some insights from playing games, each of which has two possible results, win or loose. A winner team cannot always win if it is not keeping to improve. On the other hand, a looser team can win next time if it learns something from this loosing.

In short, if we can identify our goals and keep our spirits on them, we will get success in the end. Essay 525 Topic 103 What characteristic makes people successful? I think a single characteristic will not make a person to be successful in life. It may influence the life what he is going to choose for himself, but it alone cannot make him successful. To be successful in life one must have at least some of the characteristics like honesty, intelligence, hard work, well judgment, ability to take right decision, time maintenance, ability to create the opportunities, confidence and will power. One cannot have all the good characteristics. In the same way only one characteristic cannot make him successful in life. He may need to develop different characteristics to make him to be successful. If I can take my life as an example, I have intelligence, honesty, and hard working nature but I couldn`t make my dream successful because of lacking the ability to take the right decision in the right time in my life. My younger brother is very intelligent, honest, but lack of hard working he couldn`t complete his law course. My father was a successful man but lake of will power and control he couldn`t quit his bad habits and spoiled his life and career. A well-known friend of mine is honest, intelligent, hardworking and a successful entrepreneur, but lack of balance in the life he lost his married life and now living alone. I think to be successful in life one must need well-balanced characteristics. Only a single characteristic cannot make him to be successful. A different and well-pronounced characteristic may make him famous or well recognized for that. But he needs to be acquiring different characteristics in his life to be successful.

Essay 530 Topic 104 Contributions of artists vs. scientists Science and art are two main streams of knowledge accumulated from ancient times by human beings. They have their own characteristics and provide to the society their contributions, which benefit the world in which we live. Some people think that the contributions of scientists are higher than the artists. Before I give my opinion, I want to see the two sides first. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Science is defined mostly as the knowledge related to the natural world. I think most of its domains are involved in the material things, such as food, housing, clothing, transport, etc. It is usually easy for people to feel the existence and progress of science, because it is usually taking place around us and becoming more manifest. In past, science has leaded us to make great advance in our life, and I believe in future, it will continue to improve the world we live now. Art is more related to our spiritual world. It has long history, too. It has nearly developed coincided with the science. Art help us to know clear about ourselves and it can help us get rid of negative mood, which may restrain our work effectiveness. Many people admit that art can nourish their mind and make their spiritual outlook better. In this respect, art is a good complement to science. Through above statements, I can hardly tell which one is more valued in terms of the contribution to the society. Because they are both imperative for us to build the world. The history of human has prove this. So I do not think it is wise and safe to say that one of them is more important than the other one. As far as I am concerned, I think they both weigh heavily with regard to the contributions to the society. Essay 531 Topic 104 Social benefit, I think, can be defined as the profit that people who live in that society can share and appreciate. When we compare two different things, both have a merit and a demerit. Therefore it is quiet difficult to outweigh one of which. However, it is because we tend to easily find the contribution of scientists in our daily life that I am on the side of those who develop society tangibly. Now I would like to illustrate some examples which support my opinion. First of all, all the appliances such as televisions, personal computers and microwaves which we use in the daily life are contributed from the scientists effort and aspiration. Nowadays, we cannot barely survive without those products which always help and save our daily tasks. Most of those are the great invention which is developed in the past 50 years. Almost all people in the society can share its contribution in place of paying some money. Scientists great contribution is more that just appliances. Thanks to their tremendous perspiration, our mental and physical health are promised in many ways. Newly developed technologies help physicians to practice operations. A number of medicines relieve and alleviate our acute and chronic illnesses. Those improvement in the medical field can easily support people to admire scientists contributions. On the other hand, artists contributions are sometimes difficult to appreciate. There are varieties of buildings that form its shape artistically. Because most of them are made of artists sensibility and idiosyncrasy, ordinary people cannot truly appreciate those great works. In view of social benefit, those contributions are less shared with people in the society. Therefore, artists contribution to the society is unfortunately less attractive for me. With these illustration above, I definitely outweigh the scientists contribution to our society. As I mentioned outset, scientists' contribution much stands out than its counterpart.

Essay 533 Topic 104 artists or scientists People are always estimating whether the scientists or the artists are valued more by the society. If there is one preference-which I take leave to make-then it is the scientists rather than the artists are more highly estimated by people. Admittedly, never could we ignore the advantages brought about by artists. One thing is certain that human beings can hardly live without any mental support that is mainly from the works of artists, both past and contemporary. Merely abundant in materials, people are likely to be addicted to toxic so called leisure? Only when they acquired meaningful hobbies were they capable of living pleasant lives, just like drawing, creating, appreciating classical works composed by enlightening matters around them. Artists with extraordinary abilities are able to show people the beauty and meaning of their life and lead them to discover the innate brilliance hidden inside commonplace things. Unfortunately, the larger part of the population forgets about it sometimes unconsciously. Adversely, it seems that contributions of scientists are more critical to the society and valued more by the society. The first reason for my propensity is that scientists exert such tremendous influences on For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org almost every aspect of people's lives even on the overall society. It is obvious that most revolutions of the society stem from innovations of science and technology. Take the Industrial Revolution for instance, it was the invention of the steam engine by Watt that overthrew the conventional ways of doing labor work. Millions of people were relieved of arduous and continuous boring work. Simultaneously the capability of producing goods roars so fascinatingly that the mercantile becomes more and more plentiful while consumers hold more and more money for their pleasant consumptions. Another subtle reason why I advocate that scientific improvements are far more highly estimated rests on the persistent attention and occasionally dauntless courage to try on the scientific research and advances from people. Focusing on more convenient appliances, more healthful diets, more comfortable forms of transport, more pleasing living conditions and cleaner fresh atmosphere, people are enthusiastic about new creations and inventions covered by mass media. Furthermore, part of them are prepared and ready to try the innovative products. Apparently, the willingness of possessing a more satisfactory life is never too much. As a result, scientists are bound to be respected and looked up upon in an age when everybody benefits so much from science. Taking all the reasons I listed above into account, it is hardly too abrupt to conclude that people are more willing to show admire and deference to scientists rather than artists who also do considerable dedications to the world. Essay 534 Topic 105 Living in university housing vs. living in the community Students at universities often have a choice of places to live. They may choose to live in university dormitories, or they may choose to live in apartments in the community. In my opinion, it is a better idea to live in university housing. I think there are more advantages. First of all, I think it is more convenient to live in campus. You need not worry about the traffic every day. Especially if your university campus is located in downtown, you should think about the traffic jam when you go to your classroom. And it still costs you a lot of time on the road. On the contrary you can utilize it to improve you grade. Living in campus still can increase your opportunities to participate many activities held in campus. You will have more spare time to take it and it is very convenient for those students living in campus. Another benefit is more safe to live in campus. Traffic accidences occurs everywhere and every day. If you spend two hours every day on the road, you should be very careful when driving. That is a dangerous work. Finally, I still think it`s helpful for me to improve my verbal English skill. If you live in campus, you have many opportunities to make more friends in cafeterias, in dormitories, and in playgrounds. When you contact with each other, you should listen and speak. It will improve your verbal English quickly. On the contrary, if you live in an apartment in the community, maybe you even do not know your neighbors because most people living in apartment have their family. After hard work, they spend their spare time with their family. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org To conclude, it is a valuable experience to live in campus. It can help you live an easy, safe and wonderful life. Essay 535 Topic 105 Response to Topic 105 Accommodation is one of the basic needs of today's society. It is not only restricted to the students living abroad but it also concerns to those people who either live in a renting house or paying for room in hotels. Living in dormitories or campus or finding an apartment depends upon the student's choice. Students and other peoples like workers, employers, businessman, etc will always look for such apartments which will benefit them or which may suit to their desires. A student living on campus or dormitories will have their reasons and the others would prefer to live in apartments based on their purposes. However, if we consider both, we can include the following points: 1) A student living in an apartment may seem to hold this view that he can share his room with other people which would reduce a great burden on paying off a huge amount of rent for it. While living in a dormitory one cannot have this type of advantage. On the other hand, who prefers to live in a dormitory may hold his view that one does not have to worry on getting up early and to rush for a bus or any other means of transport to attend one's class. 2) The strong view presented by a student living in an apartment is that he does not have to abide by the rules which is the main terms and regulations for a student living in a dormitory. Whereas, a student choose to live in a dormitory may strongly condemn this view that only they have to follow the rules of an institution or a university. They express their view stating that a student living in an apartment also has to follow the rules of maintaining the room properly, for example, to clean the room and make it neat and tidy, wash the bathroom properly and to furniture his room etc. 3)A student in a dormitory hold this view that everything has been provided to them. All the facilities are provided in a university or another institution while living in an apartment one may not gain this advantage. On the contrary, a student living in an apartment hold this view that a dormitory student is restricted to certain things such as they are not allowed to go out of the university only at the given times or if there is any emergency case. While living in an apartment will not cause one such problems, one is free of time restriction. In my view, I prefer living in an apartment because I will held my opinion that if I do not have enough money to afford a living in dormitory then certainly I would have to take a loan or any other means to pay for living whereas in an apartment you can share your rent with other people which may not burden your cost of living in it. Every thing has its advantage and disadvantage but it is on a student of how he considers and make use of it. Every one wants to get benefit while living in an apartment or elsewhere and it is quite natural.
