　　Creativity Is Needed

　　My major is physics. In our dormitories, the most popular topic is about the Nobel Prize. We fellows often chat on Einstein, Hawkin in admiration. But look at their nationalities,German, American, French... sometimes we do find someone of yellow race. Well, he must be a Japanese or just a "banana man" with yellow skin but an American heart inside. What's the problem? Why can't an ancient nation with a population of 1.2 billion produce a Nobel Prize winner?

　　We are not dull. In the past, our ancestors made many wonderful achievements. They discovered some math theories hundreds years before western scientists. The reason why we lag behind today lies in our education system. In primary and secondary schools, students are stuffed with piles of knowledge under the pressure of fierce competition. Many young people lose their chances to enter college just because of one early failure in a stupid examination. How can they show their true abilities?

　　We are lacking in creativity in such an education system.When our high school students amaze people all over the world by their gold medals in IMO (International Math Olympians),the computer companies are laughing that they have found the best programmers. Our students can perfectly do whatever they are told to, but they are not creative. This is a fatal problem in most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge.

　　Fortunately we have learned the point, and many reforms are being carried out. In most schools, students are actively involved in the class activities. They are allowed to show their own thoughts. In some schools, students can choose lessons they are interested in, which offers them more room for self-development. Some famous universities search for Newton and Einstein in remote mountain areas instead of modern cities. Maybe the geniuses there are more natural.

　　Let's wait for Chinese academic stars full of creativity to rise into the starry sky.

　　简 评

　　中国人何时才能拿到诺贝尔奖?这是全国人民的心愿，也是青年学子讨论的热门话题。作者用同宿舍同学的谈天内容开头，自然地引出了本文的议题：为什么有着十二亿人口的泱泱大国，竟无法产生一个诺贝尔奖获得者?随之展开分析，毫不留情地指出：是现行教育体制扼杀了学生的创造力。随后用奥数获奖者只能做程序员的实例来说明应试教育的悲剧性后果。文笔犀利，语言生动。

　　作者采用提出问题，分析问题，解决问题的思路组织内容，缺点在于思维不够连贯，论证有欠完整深入。作者对应试教育的缺陷只是泛泛而谈，没有分析其具体表现和深层原因。对如何扼杀学生的创造力也没有做出说明。因此在谈及教育体制的改革时，内容就与前文缺少呼应。思维严谨的英文写作对中国学生是一个挑战，需要在不断的练习中提高。
