雅思大作文:男孩与女孩应该一起上混合学校吗

Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools.

Discus both these views and give your own opinion.

 

Some countries have single-sex education models, while in others both single sex and mixed schools co-exist and it is up to the parents or the children to decide which model is preferable.

有些国家实行单性教育模式,而在另一些国家,单性教育和混合学校并存,由父母或孩子决定哪种模式更可取。

Some educationalists think it is more effective to educate boys and girls in single-sex schools because they believe this environment reduces distractions and encourages pupils to concentrate on their studies. This is probably true to some extent. It also allows more equality among pupils and gives more opportunity to all those at the school to choose students more freely without gender prejudice. For example, a much higher proportion of girls study science to a high level when they attend girls’ schools than their counterparts in mixed schools do. Similarly, boys in single-sex schools are more likely to take cookery classes and study languages, which are often thought of as traditional subjects for girls.

一些教育学家认为在单性别学校教育男孩和女孩更有效,因为他们认为这种环境减少了分心,鼓励学生集中精力学习。在某种程度上,这可能是真的。它还使学生之间有更多的平等,并使学校里的所有人有更多的机会在没有性别偏见的情况下更自由地选择学生。例如,在女子学校学习科学的女生比例要远远高于男女混合学校的女生。同样,单性别学校的男孩更有可能参加烹饪课程和学习语言,这通常被认为是女孩的传统科目。

On the other hand, some experts would argue that mixed schools prepare their pupils better for their future lives. Girls and boys learn to live and work together form an early age and are consequently not emotionally underdeveloped in their relations with the opposite sex. They are also able to learn from each other, and to experience different types of skill and talent then might be evident in a single gender environment.

另一方面,一些专家认为混合学校为学生的未来生活做了更好的准备。女孩和男孩从小就学会在一起生活和工作,因此在与异性的关系上没有情感上的不发达。他们还可以互相学习,体验不同类型的技能和才能,这在一个性别环境中是显而易见的。

Personally, I think that there are advantages to both systems. I went to a mixed school, but feel that I myself missed the opportunity to specialise in science because it was seen as the natural domain and career path for boys when I was a girl. So because of that, I would have preferred to go to a girls’ school .But hopefully times have changed and both genders of student can have equal chances to study what they want to in whichever type of school they attend.

就我个人而言,我认为这两个系统都有优点。我上的是一所男女混合学校,但我觉得自己错过了专攻科学的机会,因为在我还是个女孩的时候,科学被视为男孩的自然领域和职业道路。正因为如此,我更愿意去女子学校,但希望时代已经改变,男女学生都能有平等的机会在他们就读的任何一所学校学习他们想学的东西。
