　　Private School

　　With the development of the society and economy, various private schools arise. When you read newspapers, turn on TV, or even walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools, mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.

　　However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.

　　Were it left to me decide whether we should have a society without　private.schools.or.asocietywithprivaie.schools,X.sfeould..QoLbesitate.a

　　【譯文賞析】

　　隨著社會經濟的發展，各種私立學校曰益盛行。當你在讀報時，看 電視時，甚至走在路上時，都能看到許多關于私立學校的廣告，這些學 校主攻外語、計算機、音樂、體育等。

　　然而，私立學校如此之多，這究竟是好是壞呢?正如硬幣都有正反 兩面，私立學校亦如此。一方面，私立學校能夠迎合社會與人們的特殊 需要。另一方面，因為相互攀比和競爭，它們也會給人們增添額外的負擔。

　　我們的社會是應廢止私立學校，還是應擁有私立學校呢?如果由我 定奪，我會毫不猶豫地選擇后者。
