问答题◆Topic 9: Primary Functions of University Education Questions for Reference: 1. Most people think that teachers should teach students how to judge right and wrong and how to behave well. Please discuss this view. 2. Why do you think lots of teachers pay much more attention to teaching students academic subjects than other aspects? 3. What’s your opinion of the primary functions of university education? Why do you think so?正确答案： 【参考答案】
There is no doubt that helping students find a job is one of the primary functions of university education, but universities do exist for other purposes such as improving students’ analytical skills and raising students’ moral standards.
A university education can be seen as a process of improving students’ analytical thinking. The variety of courses offered at university inspires students in various ways, therefore improving their analytical ability. For example, science courses such as math and biology help students develop a rational way of thinking whereas arts courses such as literature let students ponder over issues from a logical, multi-dimensional perspective; and courses in social sciences force students to recognize the ideas that have been traditionally assumed to be acceptable and unproblematic. With the development of these types of analytical thinking, graduates can face future challenges with more confidence and enthusiasm.
Also, university education is expected to improve students’ moral standards. This is rooted in universities? Belief that students’ awareness of responsibility towards their community and their country is of high importance. In this ever-degrading society and civilization, students are encouraged actively participate in improving the local community. A university that provides care and facilities for physically disadvantaged students may inspire the graduates to better handle situations in the future where they may have to interact with the disabled community. A successful university education is supposed to produce morally sound graduates, therefore increasing their employability.
In conclusion, university education not only helps students locate a decent job but will also develop other qualities such as enhancing their analytical skills and cultivating their hunger and spirit for life.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q3: Do you think it’s better for staff to receive written or oral feedback on their performance? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I think it’s better for staff to receive written feedback on their performance. If manager gives his/her subordinates written feedback, it will save the trouble of talking to staff face-to-face. To give oral feedback on staff performance might put supervisor/manager in a position where he or she is criticized for doing wrong or supposed to have done wrong in meeting legal requirements. Senior staff don’t have to listen to staff when they make complaints about the company.
B: I think it is sensible to give oral feedback on staff performance. Face-to-face communication contributes to improving relations between managers and staff, which can boost staff morale. Giving staff oral feedback also offers a chance for managers and staff to discuss the goals and targets together. Thus, the managers/supervisors can get valuable information from staff to employer, which in turn can be used to build new targets.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Follow-up questions Interlocutor: Q1: Do you think frequent staff changes are good or bad for a company?(Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I don’t think frequent staff changes are good for a company. To stay afloat in fierce competition, companies must retain skilled hands. I like skilled hands and I think it is the same thing with all employers. Employers are aware of the priceless value of know-how and experience. Skilled hands make all the difference, for the experienced employees and skilled hands know the way to satisfy the most demanding clientele. When an experienced employee leaves, he may take away with him some valuable connections and information, as well as a group of existing customers. Without the experienced staff, you are certain to lose your customers. As a result, you’ll lose everything in competition.
B: Staff changes directly affect the success of a variety of approaches in sales and sales management. Although frequent staff changes might bring negative result to a company, however, frequent staff changes may also exert a positive influence on the success in business by getting rid of the stale and taking in the fresh. Since some employees are getting stale, they need a change. A change will turn out to be beneficial to both employees and the company. A market-driven approach to retention is available, which is based on the assumption that long-term, across-the-board loyalty is neither possible nor desirable.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 6: Is International Tourism an Effective Bridge of Different Nations? Questions for Reference: 1. Why do you think people like to take an international tourism? 2. What kind of situation are the travelers most likely to be faced with when they get on an international tourism? 3. The international tourism does not promote understanding between people from different cultures. Do you agree?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Every year, hundreds of millions of people move around to see a different part of the world. It is natural to assume that tourists who have seen other countries have a better knowledge of the people. That assumption also leads to the conclusion that international tourism promotes understanding between nations. How true is this? Let us examine what tourists do in a different country.
First, before going abroad, tourists are often told by their travel agents of the possible hazards which sometimes include local people. They are given example of extreme cases where victims are always the travelers. Then, when they arrive, they are immediately taken to their hotels in big coaches. They flood places where local people don’t go. Their shopping, meals, entertainment all take place in secluded areas. They wear a bubble all the way. Apart from speaking to the guide and a few shop assistants, tourists rarely talk to the local people. To make it even worse, they meet pickpockets; they are ripped off by dishonest traders.
Furthermore, very few local people bother to talk to them out of a genuine interest in the guests’ country, people and culture. Therefore, when asked how much they know about the local people, their answer is “very little”.
If someone really wants to understand a different culture, he has to learn its language, stay there for at least a few month without wearing a bubble, learn how to curse and swear, bargain with a vegetable vendor and then he can say that he understands the people.解析： 暂无解析 -

B: Movement of staff helps in business management. For employees, there will be a wider choice of jobs. As for employers, they will free more free to select candidates for a job vacancy. Employers can employ people not in high demand and place valuable employees where they won’t be tempted by job offers constantly. Another option is for them to team up with other companies to offer cross-company career paths. If manning retention in the past was similar to tending a dam, nowadays it is more like managing a river. The aim is not to stop water from flowing but to control its direction and speed.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q5: What do you think are the benefits to customers of a global marketplace? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: A global marketplace can benefit customers in a big way. The significance of competition in our economy cannot be denied. In an age of rapid change, through innovation or through improvement world competition can be the vehicle of change. Without a global marketplace, the customers will not have goods many choices of products and services. Without competition, the consumers will have to pay high price for products, and there is no way for them to enjoy impeccable service. Without competition, the firms may not offer consumers high quality products or best service.
B: While companies will have greater space to develop their businesses in global marketplace, the customers will have a wide choice of the goods and services. Consumers seek the best values for their money while producers look for the best price and profit for their products or service. Government seeks to promote the public safety, assure fair competition, and provide a range of services which are believed to be better performed by public instead of by private enterprise. In this system, when economic forces are unfettered, supply and demand decides the price of goods and services. Enterprises will feel free to develop their businesses. Theoretically, if they cannot provide goods or services of quality and price to compete with others, they will be driven from the market. As a result, only the most efficient and those who best serve the public will remain in business.解析： 暂无解析 -

A: Yes, I think changes to working practices could avoid the need for larger premises. With progress and visionary, managers can dedicate themselves to challenging discrimination and promoting equality among employees. More benefits should be offered to staff, which will help get the best out of the staff. Benefits at the company include occupational pension, family friendly policies, flexible working hours and the chance to be directly involved in an issue you have passion for. If the managers realize the key role every member of their team plays in the company, they’ll be able to run the office more smoothly.
B: The need for larger premises is inevitable, but asking staff to take decisions will improve their efficiency and moral. Even giving minor tasks to others might be seen as a way of sharing.

问答题◆Topic 10：Work to Live or Live to Work? Questions for reference: 1) Why do people live? 2) Are people really aware of the reasons why they work? 3) How do you balance work and life?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Living in a highly competitive society, the idea that the purpose of life is to work is prevalent even dominant. Most bread earners believe that financial guarantee is more realistic and more important for a person and for his family. So they take for granted that devoting to work is the most reasonable and worthy thing to do.
Nevertheless, objectors think that work is only a means to have a better life. They argue that there are more important things than work in life, such as friends, personal interests, social responsibilities and so or. They think that life will be dull and meaningless with work as its aim.
In my opinion, we should strike a balance between work and life. On the one hand, to be a diligent worker is necessary and meaningful. On the other hand, we should not be workaholic, or we will lose many significant things in life, such as love and friendship. 解析： 暂无解析 -
