Postponing the retirement age will benefit the companies which need highly-skilled and experienced workers to perform certain tasks that are beyond the scope of younger workers. As for the old, postponing the retirement age is also beneficial to them. Because they can not only earn money to cover daily expenses, but also make their talents and skills recognized and valued.NO Postponing the retirement age will bring a lot of harm. One is the stress of unemployment. With the growing number of students graduating from school every year, it is more and more difficult for them to land a good job. If the retirement age is postponed, it will be even harder for them to find a job. Postponing the retirement age is not good news to the enterprises, either.

问答题
Recently, workfare has been developed in some countries to replace the traditional unemployment welfare . Under workfare models, welfare recipients are obliged to perform some work or undergo training in exchange for their welfare payments. Do you think workfare models are a sensible choice. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization, language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.YES Workfare offers the unemployed opportunities to develop skills to work their way out of poverty. Productive work raises the expectations of those involved by increasing their self-respect and provides them with more confidence in their abilities. It also develops skills associated with work, such as time keeping, taking and giving instructions, working in a team, accepting responsibility and prioritising. Such skills may seem mundane, but they are very valuable to employers. Workfare schemes require applicants also to search for work whilst completing the schemes. Moving from a traditional something-for-nothing welfare scheme to a workfare system stops all these individuals from being burdens on the state, cutting welfare rolls very rapidly and allowing the government to concentrate upon assisting the truly needy.NO Workfare is actually a more expensive option than traditional unemployment benefit. The jobless are ultimately given at least the same amount of taxpayers’ money, but the state also has to pay the costs of setting up the schemes, the materials, the wages of supervisors, transport and childcare, etc. In a recession, when the numbers of the unemployed rise substantially, the costs of work-fare schemes could be prohibitive and lead to the collapse of the policy. Furthermore, even if the state wanted to, they couldn’t enroll everyone—given that most people who lose a job find another within six months, there’s no point dragging people into these schemes who will find work anyway given a little more time.

Cyber-Celebrity Culture is Warping Chinese Youth The recent online debut of a new girl band, who calls themselves Sunshine , has made waves on the interwebs. These teens, with their unattractive and fat appearance and laughably bad singing skills, induce ferocious criticism, but at the same time, thrive on it. This, of course, is not the first time that ugly, untalented wannabe celebrities have made headlines in China. Back in 2006, Furong Jiejie ( Sister Lotus ), a 20-something woman in Beijing, posted her narcissistic pictures of plump figure, plain face and inelegant dance moves. Those won her a nationwide following as well as paid appearances on television. Surely enough, after Sister Lotus started appearing on prime-time television, a whole slew of copycat ugly girls also started blogging about themselves. And following Sunshine’s explosion on social media, numerous new bands like Power Girls Love-wings and Superstar starring average-looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles. Some people think that this kind of grass roots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to get them ahead in China’s competitive society, but for those middle-class kids who come from good backgrounds and receive excellent educations, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting these kids from academics. What’s worse, they also fear that the narcissistic addictions of the students to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other recourse once their online followers forget about them.
