Why do I have to go to school?

Much of what you need to know to live successfully as an adult does not come naturally; it has to【小题1】 (learn) and studied and memorized. Children learn to speak naturally, for example, by listening to those around them, 【小题2】 reading and writing must be particularly taught. The complicated process of learning the alphabet and the sounds it represents, putting letter sounds together to make words, and learning the meaning of words in order to read and write are skills【小题3】only come with special effort. Knowing how to figure out problems that involve numbers and learning how the world is run or how nature works【小题4】 (be) important things to learn too.

【小题5】 your parents might be able to teach you these things, they would need many hours each day to do it. Most parents work outside the home and wouldn’t have the time to give proper 【小题6】 (instruct), though some kids are homeschooled by their parents instead of going to school. In the United States the public school system provides years of free education【小题7】children. (Children who go to private schools or【小题8】parents have received special permission to teach them at home are exceptions.) Teachers, who are【小题9】 (specific) trained to know what children should learn and how and when, are the people who do the job of educating. To ensure that children learn what they need to know, state governments require that all children go to school for a certain number of years (usually until age 16), and kids who skip school a lot can find 【小题10】(they)in court.

The Internet is of great value to students. Firstly, the Internet, which is a world of knowledge, offers rich study materials. It’s able to serve【小题1】a teacher, allowing students to ask almost any questions and get answers. So far, many schools【小题2】 (develop) websites from which students can【小题3】(convenient) get study materials. Secondly, the【小题4】(important) of the Internet lies in its ability to help students communicate with others. This gives students a chance to learn from excellent people, which helps them lead a【小题5】(success) life in the future.

The Internet matters also because it helps with students’ career(职业) planning. Choosing the right career is one challenge that【小题6】(teenager) face. Most of them are unsure about their future goals and interests. But the Internet can make【小题7】easier for them to choose the right career path. They can search and watch【小题8】other people are doing in the world. Besides, there are many career-planning articles on the Internet【小题9】(write) by experts. These can guide students on how【小题10】(find) their interests and follow the right career path.

Where do you start if you want to write a 【小题1】 (success) story？ 【小题2】(clear), what you need first of all is an idea which you can develop into a strong plot (情节). But where do ideas like this come from? The answer is "anywhere and everywhere". They may come from something【小题3】 has happened to you or to someone else, from a newspaper, 【小题4】interesting picture, or even a song. It's a good idea 【小题5】 (keep) a notebook nearby so that you can write down the details of any unusual things which catch your imagination. Make a note of ideas for titles too, and any special phrases or 【小题6】(description) that you think of. A small tape recorder can prove very 【小题7】 (use) for this purpose. Some writers even keep one by their bed in case they wake up in the "idea of the century".

Another method of 【小题8】 (develop) the story is making use of the characters themselves. Why not try putting three people you know well into a situation such as a wedding, where feelings may be very strong, and see what 【小题9】 (happen). But don't make the final characters too much like your Aunt Jane or Uncle Jim or you may find 【小题10】 (you) in real trouble.
