　　教育的根本目的，是适应社会还是塑造个性，是以现实考虑为重还是理想化，是培养专才还是培养完善的个人

　　51 & 71

　　51. Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition.

　　Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.

　　The speaker asserts that … While we see many successful people guided by their life-long goals, we also see plenty of achieved individuals with immediate fame always on their one. From my perspective, for

　　young people, it is not the goal itself that matters, but the effort he will make to achieve that goal.

　　A long-term goal serves as the beacon in one’s life, always guiding one to overcome all kinds of obstacles.

　　(Jobs) If one lacks such a driving force, he may end up becoming addicted to immediate comfort. In fact, this is probably the reason why the speaker recommends the young people not to focus on immediate fame.(娱乐圈很多人成名之后放纵自己，就死了)

　　但仍然有不少人追求的不是什么人生理想的实现，至少不是什么特别崇高的人生理想的实现，也能够取得成功。他们可能追求的就是钱，名誉，地位，然后为此付出不懈的努力。(Andy Warhol, Lady Gaga – the Fame, Li Na)

　　In fact, what matters is not whether you have long term goals or just focus on immediate fame; what matters is whether for whatever goal you set, you will work hard to achieve it.(进一步分析上面那些成功的人，无论是有长远目标，还是追求名誉的人，如何通过超人的努力来实现这些目标)On the contrary, even if one has long-term plan, as long as he does not work hard toward it, the plan will always remain an empty plan.
