A great change is now taking place in higher education throughout our country。 Teachers are being held responsible as never before for how well they serve their students。 It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students。 In some universities students＇ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness。
This， however， has caused great controversy。 Some are in favor of the rating system。 They hold that since students attend the teachers classes everyday， they should have their opinion about their teachers＇ effectiveness。 Others， on the contrary， are strongly against it。 They think that students＇ rating is easy to administer and score， but it also is easy to abuse。 They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students＇ rating forms。 Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject。These judgments require professional knowledge， which is best left for the teachers＇ colleagues。
I think students＇ rating of their teachers is necessary， but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers＇ performance。 Instead of rating the teachers＇ knowledge on the subject， students should be asked to estimate what they themselves have leaned in a course， and to report on such things as a teacher＇s ability to communicate with students， his relationship with students， and his ability to arouse interest in the subject。
Many years ago, there is no way for students to evaluate teachers, for people treat the teachers in a high level, students are in the low level, they are immature. Now, many schools have carried on this practice, I believe such that evaluations are good for both teachers and students.
很多年前，學(xué)生是不可能有機會評價老師，因為人們覺得老師處在高水平，學(xué)生處在低水平，而且也不成熟?，F(xiàn)在，很多學(xué)校已經(jīng)實行了這樣的制度，我相信評價對學(xué)生和老師都有好處。
On the one hand, students’ evaluation of the teachers can promote the harmonious environment between teachers and students. Teachers always give students the serious impression, they just like the unchallenging authority. But now, people emphasize the equal relationship in education, which means teachers and students learn from each other. Students can give their opinion to teachers, teachers can improve themselves.
一方面，學(xué)生對老師的評價可以促進師生間的和諧相處環(huán)境。老師總是給學(xué)生很嚴(yán)肅的印象，他們就像不可挑戰(zhàn)的權(quán)威。但是現(xiàn)在，人們在教育方面強調(diào)平等的關(guān)系，意味著老師和學(xué)生互相學(xué)習(xí)。學(xué)生可以把自己的意見講給老師，老師可以自我提高。
On another hand, teachers can benefit from students’ evaluation. In tradition, teachers assess a student from the test, they master a student’s learning level according to the exams, but it is not enough. Students are the major learners, they can evaluate a teacher, letting he know how his teaching method goes, the teacher can adjust his method according to students’ reaction.
在另一方面，老師可以從學(xué)生的評價中收益。在傳統(tǒng)中，老師是通過測試來評估學(xué)生，他們通過
In conclusion, the evaluation about the teachers is beneficial, teachers can know their advantages and disadvantages, they can improve their teaching methods and to create a harmonious learning phenomenon.
總的來說，對老師的評價是有益的，老師可以知道自身的優(yōu)點和缺點，他們可以提高自己的教學(xué)方法和創(chuàng)造一個和諧的教學(xué)氛圍。

【名師點評】
本文層次清楚，邏輯分明，第一段講好身體的重要性，第二段講保持身體健康的'種種方法，第三段講就“我”而言，“我”如何加強體育鍛煉。本文語言地道，亮點頗多，如：First… second… Finally…三個詞分述三種方法；The desire for, …is universal, Especially nowadays, the possession of, is regarded by nearly everyone as…, Only… can we expect to….How to…then? As for me, I have always been taking care to… so, I can…等，這些短語的運用使得文章錯落有致，多姿多彩。
