最近杂感

前晚一个考过雅思的学生请吃自助餐。其实这顿自助餐拖了很久了。这个学生3月中旬已经查到成绩顺利通过了，说要请我吃自助餐以表谢意。因为之前我都挺忙的，所以一直拖到前晚才应约了，弄得我都不好意思了。前晚我真的太能吃了，那两个学生吃饱了不想再动的时候，我仍然没觉得饱，而是一个劲地吃。他们都瞪着眼睛看着我，真是 “叹为观止”！以前我会经常隔三差五去吃自助餐的，但是这两个月以来真的忙得要命，不要说自助餐，连电影也没空看了。可能太久没吃了，所以昨晚挺兴奋的，就不停地吃，吃得天昏地暗。

也不知道从什么时候起，学生考过了考试请我吃自助餐好像成了惯例。当然我是非常乐意的，因为一方面我承认我是个 “吃货”， 人生没有好吃的东西是一个很大的缺失，所以我的理念是能吃多少好东西就吃多少；而另一方面看到学生考过雅思或者托福那种兴奋的样子，我都忍不住替他们感到高兴。看着一个个学生成功考过考试而离开，我的内心是既为他们高兴，又为舍不得他们离开而愁怅，毕竟大家一起做了一两个月的师生，突然间分别了，总是会有不舍的。一般来讲，我都会和我的学生成为比较好的朋友，特别是年纪和我相近的。有几个学生还和我成为了特别好的朋友， 这也让我感到非常幸运，也让我越来越喜欢我现在的这份事业，因为我不仅可以帮助到别人，实现自己的社会和经济价值，还能结交不少朋友。

今天有一个学生开玩笑地问我：“老师，如果我突然去找别的培训机构或者培训老师而不在你这里继续补了，你会怎样？”我听了就说：“那你就去试试，如果真的觉得在别的地方比我这边教得好的话，那我会为你感到高兴。”其实，这的确是我的心里话。我做培训靠的不是忽悠学生来上课，而是真正地让学生学到东西。 一个没有本事的机构或者老师，最后是不会长久地存在和发展的。所以我经常和一些同样是做出国manbetapp培训的老师开玩笑说， 只要学生是真的想报班学习的而且来上了我一次课的，后面绝对会上到最后。一个老师有水平和没有水平是骗不了学生的。 另外有一些学生曾经在咨询时说我这边的收费偏贵。其实，如果他们了解过别的机构就会发现，我们这边的价格可能只是别人的一半，特别是高端课程像雅思托福的VIP课。有些学员既想要高质量的一对一，又不想花钱， 或者说花一两千块钱就想学很多课时，那是不太可能的。世上没有免费的午餐，要想收获你就必须得付出，不仅是时间和精力，还有金钱。

雅思作文：

题目：

Full-time university students need to spend a lot of time on studying, but it is essential to get involved in other activities．To what extent do you agree or disagree?

正文：

　　On college campuses, extracurricular involvement is a key tool to develop the “whole student.” It is appropriate to say that full-time university students should not only spend a lot of time in studying but also interact with their peers in social activities, thus improving their social skills．While time spent in studying can enhance academic achievement, time spent on getting involved in out-of-the-classroom activities will help students mature socially on the individual student level and the professional level.

　　The development of the well-rounded individual is a principal goal of extracurricular activities during college years．A variety of personal experiences that these activities provide could positively impact students' emotional development．When working together with other individuals, students learn to communicate and gain more self-confidence, autonomy and appreciation for others' similarities and differences．Further, by identifying a peer group, that group may influence one's affective and cognitive development as well as one's personal behavior．In addition, taking part in activities outside the classroom enables one, among other things, to learn to negotiate, manage conflicts and cooperate with fellow students．And last but not least, almost any type of extracurricular activities may help students understand the importance of critical thinking skills.

　　Students can also upgrade their social skills specific to their career paths and imperative for future job successes in different fields．Extracurricular involvement allows students to associate academic knowledge with practical experience, thereby leading to a better awareness of of their abilities, talents and career goals．Nowadays, good social skills are nearly as important as good academic qualifications since future employers seek exactly these remarkable skill standards．This is understandable, considering that participation in extracurricular activities is positively linked to attainment of one's first job and managerial potential．The campus is a place where students can work together, discuss pertinent ideas and issues, and accomplish common objectives．It is nothing less than an environment for students to feel socially connected with others and the university as their community.

　　To sum up, for young people, attending higher education is meant to advance academically and to mature socially．University students ought to be encouraged to get involved in activities ranging from students' government to athletics to professional organizations to multicultural events and to volunteer service-related projects．Such activities exist to more fully complement the university's academic curriculum and augment the student's social experience．
