•         About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge, and with the development of modern society , multi-skilled people are in great demand.

•         However,40% of them insist that they should be separated so that students

can concentrate on some subjects and become experts. Besides, they will not be overburdened as before.

•           As far as I’m concerned, a comprehensive education is better than a separated one. A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and society as a whole, worldwide, and only in China science and arts are separated, which has had a bad effect on students’ sound development. It is high time we changed this model. I don’t think comprehensive education will put a heavy burden on the students.

•         From what has been discussed above, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that education is of great importance. So far as I’m concerned, only by developing ourselves gradually can we make room for ourselves the rapidly-developing society.

•         There are approximately 50% people in favor of not separating science and arts education. They assert that it is an essential way to develop the talented people. Furthermore, various kinds of courses could develop students with comprehensive abilities.

•         On the contrary, however, the figure of opponents constitute 43%. They consider that separating science and arts education is beneficial to releasing students’ stress. Moreover, it is well-known that the contemporary society has a huge demand of particular talented people. In order to meet  society’s demand, it is necessary to separate science and arts education.

•         From my perspective, it is unwise to separate science and arts education. After all, students need to learn different subjects to enhance their knowledge and increase their experience. Hence, they could have real talents and make great contributions to the society in the future.

Sample 4

•         43% of people support that it is important to separate science and arts education. They claim that we can cultivate talented students via this necessary method. Separating science and arts has an irreplaceable effect on developing students’ comprehensive abilities and interest so that they can make more vital contributions to society.

•           On the contrary, 50% of citizens put their own opinions against the idea of separating science and arts education. Meanwhile, it can provide talented students with the requirements of society in particular fields.

•           From my perspective, offering alternative choices for students is important both in developing students’ interest and ensuring the quality-oriented education. We need to respect students, own national plan if they are well prepared for the future.

Sample 5

•         43% of the people consider that separating science and arts education is a vital way to develop the aptitude of students, which can make them well prepared for the fierce competition . Also, students are more likely to broaden their horizons by learning arts and science.

•         Contrary to this, 50% of the opponents object to this issue. They insist that teen-agers are suffering from too much pressure so their burden should be removed. Furthermore, the contemporary society is in great need of professional talents who are devoted to one certain subject.

•          From my perspective, I believe science and arts education shouldn’t be separated. Both arts and science play a significant role in improving our knowledge levels. Science makes us wise while arts makes us cultivated. As long as we keep a balance between arts and science study, we are bound to find knowledge is so colorful.
