Topic 67 Inexperienced, cheap workers or experienced workers?

To hire an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary, this is an interesting question for an employer. As far as I am concerned, a good employer will choose the latter without hesitation (без колебаний, сомнений), because he knows an experienced worker deserves what he is paid.

Qualified workers play the most important role in any business. The directors controls the business, the managers operate the business, whereas, it is nobody else but the workers who are expected and responsible to produce qualified products. Without those products the business will be a castle in the air. Thus qualified workers are indispensable (обязательный, необходимый) for an employer.

What makes a qualified worker? Undoubtedly, experience is one of the most valued merits (достоинства). Experience means quality and efficiency; both of which guarantee a well-run business. It is true that the employer has to pay more for an experienced worker, but what such a worker brings to the employer is much more than he is paid.

Admittedly (по общему признанию), no one is born to be an experienced worker. A rookie is inevitably a rookie (новичок) at his debut, and he needs opportunity to obtain the required experiences. Hence (отсюда, следовательно) there must be some employers who are willing to provider them with such opportunities.

In a word, for an employer, it is profitable (выгоднее) to hire an experienced worker at a higher salary than to an inexperienced one at a lower salary. However, some wise employer may want to hire inexperienced workers with potential.

Topic 68 Is daily homework necessary?

It is commonly known that (Общеизвестно, что) students could increase their values of knowledge by absorbing all necessary information given by their teachers during the lessons and by practicing and analyzing a broad variety of assignments (заданий), known also as homework. I firmly support (твердо) the necessity to assign (задавания) as much homework as possible since students could improve and understand given lessons more effectively.

Every year, frustrated (разочарованные) and upset students (огорчённые, взволнованные) complain about having too much homework assigned by their teachers. It is understandable that unwillingness to do their homework could be resulted due to many temptations (соблазны, искушения) attracting young students in every day life. After intensive learning provided at schools, students usually want to relax and enjoy watching interesting movies, playing video games and spending the leisure time with their friends. Hence (Следовательно, отсюда), doing assigned homework is usually postponed (обычно откладывается) for later time or ignored at all. This tendency of not doing homework could result in poor and negative students' results on later tests and would probably destroy the willingness and important habits to study at home.

As far as I am concerned, daily homework should be assigned within different numbers of exercises according to the overall interest (в соответствии с общим интересом) and enthusiasm demonstrated by students during the lessons. An enormous amount of homework should not be given if most students tended to be discomforted by not understanding given lessons. In this case, teachers should focus on providing more accurate and elaborate explanations (сложные объяснения) of their lessons unless the students are showing potential interests for getting further information. Hence, students, who are completely satisfied (удовлетворены) and fascinated by provided learning materials, could polish (отточить) and improve the gained knowledge at home by doing their homework enthusiastically and effectively.

Finally, I would like to say (лучше избегать этого выражения) that daily homework could give students the opportunity to improve and enhance their knowledge gained during the school time. Also, students' results of daily homework could show many teachers whether their learning materials were well introduced and explained. Moreover, it could be interpreted as an important source of information for teachers to make the crucial decisions (важные решения) of whether to begin new learning objectives or revise previously discussed lessons by assigning more homework.
