第二节:书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Editor,
It’s reported that a famous high school will admit some junior high graduates who are specialized in music or PE. This has aroused a heated discussion in society. Opinions are divided.
Some people who support the idea hold that enrolling students with special talents in music or PE shows scores are not the only means to decide whether students can get into a good high school. Thanks to such a change, some excellent students can be admitted by a good school now, which in turn will encourage students’ all-round development. Meanwhile, others argue that it’s difficult to adopt practical standards which can be accepted by society. Besides, it will greatly challenge the honesty and justice.
In my opinion, I think it is a good try and of great benefit if the headmasters can avoid the disadvantages,such as injustice and dishonesty.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
