If you could make one important change in a school that you attended, what change would you make? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
Most of the schools that I attended bad excellent programs and instructors. Unfortunately, at one school this was not the case. The foreign language program there needed both better planning and better instructors. If I could, I would make changes in three major areas.
我上过的大多数学校都是糟糕的优秀课程和教员。不幸的是，在一所学校，情况并非如此。那里的外语课程既需要更好的规划，也需要更好的导师。如果可以的话，我会在三个主要方面做出改变。
The first step would be to offer third and fourth year language classes. This particular school had no language programs above the second year level. Students who started language classes in the first year ran out of classes to talk by the time they were halfway through the school. This was frustrating for those of us who loved learning languages. It also had bad affects when we tried to resume language studies in college after a two-year break.Next, the foreign language program should be staffed with well-trained instructors. The current teachers in the program don't speak the languages well enough. In our classes teachers frequently made errors while the students repeated. If the teachers were well-trained, they would be good models for the students.
第一步是提供三年级和四年级的语言课程。这所学校没有二年级以上的语言课程。一年级开始上语言课的学生到了学校一半的时候，已经没有课要讲了。对于我们这些热爱语言的人来说，这是令人沮丧的。两年的假期过后，我们试图恢复大学的语言学习，这也产生了不良影响。接下来，外语课程应该配备训练有素的教师。这个项目的现任教师语言讲得不够好。在我们的课堂上，老师经常犯错误，而学生却不断重复。如果教师训练有素，他们将是学生的好榜样。
Finally, the materials in the language courses should be updated. They need to use modern technology. Even though the school has a computer laboratory, our language class never used it. We were limited to using the assigned textbook. If software was available, the students could search the Internet for current, real-life materials, such as newspapers from other countries.
最后，语言课程的材料应该更新。他们需要使用现代技术。尽管学校有一个计算机实验室，我们的语言课却从未使用过。我们仅限于使用指定的课本。如果软件可用，学生们可以在互联网上搜索最新的真实材料，如来自其他国家的报纸。
Understanding people from other countries depends on being able to communicate with them. Poor language instruction makes this impossible. Improving the foreign language program would really make a difference to the students of the school.
了解来自其他国家的人取决于能否与他们交流。糟糕的语言教学使这不可能。改进外语课程对学校的学生真的会有很大的影响
