今天听一班上的学生说，他最近在华师大考试，写作时监考的两个中国人要求考生必须按照空格式的格式去写作，就是每段先空一个单词的位置，然后段与段之间不能空行，此考生非常惊讶，因为雅思考试一贯有两种格式，即齐头式和空格式。分别见下文：

齐头式：

Many people argue that in order to improve educational quality continuously, students are encouraged to make comments or even criticism on teachers. Others think the respect and discipline in the classroom will disappear. Which opinion do you prefer?
There is dispute over whether or not students are encouraged to make comments or even criticism on teachers. Some people maintain that it is a good way to improve educational quality, whereas others are confident that if students do it, the respect and discipline in the classroom will disappear. Every man will hesitate but if asked to make a choice between the two. I would not hesitate to choose the former over the latter.

There are some major causes for it. In the first instance, the improvement of students is the final goal of education. Only by giving comment on teachers’ performance can let teachers know the process of students’ development clearly. Furthermore, the criticism is the stimulus to teachers’ self-perfection and improvement in educational quality. Last but not least, the criticism itself is a kind of feedback and communication between teachers and students, lack of which will affect the educational outcome afterwards.

Although each nutshell has concave and convex sides, weighing the pros and cons of the argument, I’m inclined to agree with the former point of view although it has posed a tremendous challenge to teachers and thus the entire educational system.

If the students have courage to make comments on their teachers, they will have more confidence to conquer the difficulties in the future. As a Chinese proverb says,“the waves behind drive on those behind, so the new excels the old.”Teachers will find their own disadvantage in the teaching to  again and again.

　　由于其他考区没有这种规定，而且如果雅思有任何新的变化，British Council一定会有所公告，现在也没有此类公告，鉴于是中国监考人员的“友善”忠告，小新在这里向最近考试过的朋友们请教：有没有此类规定？　［编辑：熠］
