3. 什么样的教学方式最好?

三、媒体与广告
1. 新闻与媒体
母题：News media is more influential nowadays. Some people think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (090822)
提示：之所以选择这道题目做母题是因为它涵盖的范围最广，可以写报纸、电视、网络。围绕这些媒体的好处和坏处写一篇文章，顺便思考一下下面的几道子题，那么这部分的话题就可以搞定了。
子题：报纸要比其它媒体更有影响力，你同意吗?网上的信息不准确，你同意吗?我们是否应该相信记者，一个合格的记者应当具备什么样的品质?
2. 媒体审查制度
母题：Nowadays, films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people think those films and games have negative effects on society and should be banned, while others think they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (111029)

子题：广告是否会扼杀个性，使人们看起来都一样?针对儿童的广告有何利弊?针对儿童的广告是否应当被禁止?广告应当被禁止，因为它只有坏处没有好处，你是否同意?
四、政府与城市化
1. 个人与政府
母题：Some people say that it is the responsibility of individuals to save money for their own care after they retire. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (070825)
