The drawback in Our Education System
After I read the article “College Lectures: Is Anybody Listening?”, I think our education system have the same problems like them. The author mentions that both of students and professors are not doing their duty well. He also indicates the lecture system is a big problem that has existed for long time and seldom to challenge. The consequence of this phenomenon makes college graduates lack both basic skills and general culture. Moreover, businesses and industries have to endure these uncreative and ineffectual graduates. Compare to the American education system, the education system in Taiwan maybe worse than their situation. First, the ability of our native language has declined year by year, second, the society and education system overemphasize the grade not the essence of education. Last, the most important are even the students don’t know what they interest in and what they want to learn.
First, although English is the most prevalent language among the world, we benefit by learning it, but we forget to cultivate our native language first. Nowadays, the slogans of kindergarten only emphasize “No Chinese” or “just English”, and parents also want their children have a good start at the beginning. This cause our next generation doesn’t realize our culture and have no ability to pass down to our descendent. What we should do is to lay the foundation of Chinese for our children and then through it to learn English.
Second, overemphasizing the grade is another problem that has existed for a long time in our society. The grade maybe a way to evaluate a student, but it’s not the only method. The pressure from school and parents make students feel anxious and depressed. What’s more, the classmates also compare to each other. That’s the reason why the percentage of students commit suicide is higher than before.
The last but not least, I consider this is the main problem in our education system. The students even don’t know what they want to learn. Their parents ask them to learn anything they think beneficial to their children. In fact, they don’t know whether their children interest in or not. The students just follow their parents’ arrangement; all we should do is to give them advices not to make decision for them.
In a word, the problems I mention above are just few problems in our education system; I also agree that smaller class is more efficient than lecture class, lecture class make us easily fall into sleep and it can’t inspire students to have interest in these courses. In my opinion, we still have space for improvement and I believe this will make our education system better.

3/22

It's a important day in the history of Taiwan's politics. The candidate of KMT and DPP has their own supporters. The tension between the two parties becomes more intense before the election. I want to go back to vote the candidate I support, but it's too far and too expensive for me to go home. Yesterday, I watched a movie"The Interpreter". The plot of this movie is about a political conspiracy and deception reveal in the United Nations, a US Secret Service agent is assigned to investigate an interprter who claims that she overhears an assassination plan. I think this is a good movie, it talk about the ethnic cleansing and wars that happen in Africa. How the power can corrupt a man after he gets the power, just like a role in the movie, Dr.Edmond Zuwanie was a advocate of democratic revolution, but when he becomes the leader of the state, he uses his authority to persecute and threat people who oppose him. In the end, his behavior is just like the predecessor who he wants to overthrow.

Trifling

This week was really a busy week for our basketball team. Each day we have a basketball game from tuesday to sunday. So far, the result of the game, we had one win and one loss. This saturday we have to go to Tainan to attend another competition. I remember that since I studied in this department, we hadn't won any game in national competition. So, this time we hope and believe we can win the game and to the next round. The first quarter of this semsester had passed, and it seems I still didn't awake from the restfulness of winter vacation.The bad habits that I mentioned before, I haven't quit yet. I still try to quit them as possible as I can.

Annoying

This is the third year of my college life. It's time to think about what shall we do after graduate from school. Some of my classmates decide to take the test of institute and others decide to get a job after graduation. However, when my classmates have made up their mind and study diligently to achieve their goals. I still have to worry about whether I can graduate successfully or not. What's more, even though I can graduate successfully from school, I even don't know what kind of job I can get. Let's put these things aside. We have a basketball competition next week, we have practiced and prepared for a long time in order to win the championship of this contest.
