The Differences between Urban and Rural Education

城乡教育大不同

提示

　　我们可以从许多考试的测验结果中看出城乡之间的差距。本来，就读国、高中是在义务教育的范畴内，孩子们的程度其实并不会有太大的差距。但由于某些因素，例如学生在教育上所获得的资源不同，而导致了城乡的教育差距愈来愈大。政府应积极整合教育的多元化资源。请你藉由此文，写出你认知上的城乡教育差距形成的原因，以及你认为政府应当如何整合各项资源及改善此教育窘境。请写一篇约 120 至 150 个单词（words）的英文作文，文分两段，第一段以 In general, the quality of education in urban areas is superior to that found in the countryside. 开头；第二段则以 Education officials should make sure students in rural areas have access to the Internet. 开头并加以发展。

 

写作小栈

1.   主题句引导写作（guided writing）必须使用所指定的主题句（topic sentence）作为段落的开头，以主题句开头后，接着以下段落所有的句子都必须支持该主题句的指示方向进行，也就是思路的发展要符合主题句，如此才不会离题。

2.   依据提示的主题句，第一段重点在于说明形成城乡教育差距可能的原因，第二段则列举就你认为要如何改善这种情况，以免继续恶化下去。

 

构思方向

第一段：   说明城乡在教育上有何差异及形成原因，写作重点在于 what 和 why，以 4 至 6 句列举城乡教育间有何差异，并说明为何会产生如此差距。

第二段：   说明政府应当如何改善这种状况与有何具体措施，写作重点在于 what 和 how，以 4 至 6 句说明哪些具体措施政府应予以实行，最后再强调城乡之间不应存有如此大的差异。

范文

　　In general, the quality of education in urban areas is superior to that found in the countryside. There are many reasons for this unevenness in quality. One reason is that cities have more money and resources available for education. Another is that well-qualified teachers generally prefer to work in bigger cities.

　　Education officials should make sure students in rural areas have access to the Internet because they are entitled to the same learning resources as those in urban areas. Multimedia facilities are also recognized as valuable resources which get students more involved in the learning process. Certainly, more should be done to attract highly qualified teachers to the countryside, such as raising rural teachers' salaries and increasing their benefits. After all, rural students deserve the same education as urban students.

　　一般来说，都市地区的教育质量会优于乡村地区。造成这种质量上参差不齐的原因很多。其中一个原因是，都市在教育上可获得较多的资金以及资源。而另一个原因则是优秀合格的教师通常喜欢在较大的都市里工作。

　　教育部官员应要确保乡村地区的学生都能使用网络，因为这些学生有权享受与都市地区学生相同的教育学习资源。多媒体设备也被公认为是宝贵的资源，这让学生们更能参与学习的过程。当然，有关单位应采取更多措施来吸引高素质的合格教师到乡村服务，像是提高乡村地区教师的薪水和增加他们的津贴。毕竟，乡村地区的学生应享有和都市学生同样的教育权利。

进阶范文

　　For the most part, education in urban areas is excellent, especially in comparison with that in rural areas. The reason for this discrepancy in education is twofold. First, urban areas enjoy significantly higher tax bases compared with their rural neighbors. This means urban school districts have more money to spend on educating students and paying better salaries to educators. Also, rural locations are less attractive to most well-qualified teachers.

　　To deal with the difficulties facing rural areas, our government must allocate more funds to the schools there. It should put a special emphasis on getting students in rural areas access to the abundance of up-to-date resources and highly qualified teachers. In addition, the more incentives teachers get, such as competitive salaries and benefits, the more likely they will be willing to teach in the countryside. After all, rural students deserve the same opportunities as their urban counterparts.

　　大部份的情况下，都市地区的教育体系非常完善，与乡村地区相较之下尤其如此。这种教育上的差异原因由两部份所组成。首先，与乡村地区相比，都市享有较高的课税基础。这意味着都市学区拥有较多经费可以花在教育学生上，并可给付教育工作者更优渥的薪资。此外，乡村地区对于大多数合格教师缺乏吸引力。

　　为了因应乡村地区所面临的难题，政府必须拨出更多经费给乡村地区的学校。政府应该特别把重点放在让乡村地区的学生能使用大量最新的资源并拥有高素质的教师。除此之外，用愈多的诱因吸引老师，像是更具竞争力的薪水及津贴，他们就愈可能愿意在乡村地区教书。毕竟，乡村地区的学生应享有与都市学生相同的机会。
