The following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper.

Dear editor,

I’d like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.

Magdalena Smith

Dear editor,

I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate(激发) students to work at their highest level of competence（能力）. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure students’ achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.

In my memory,winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to dress like a bear just to keep warm when you went outside.You were often cold,wet and no more than one step away from the thin ice on the lake.If you worked over time and went home in the dark,you would arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting.

Fortunately, things don't have to be so challenging any more.Technology,engineering and design have developed,giving us new solutions to old problems.It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.

With a smart thermostat(恒温器), our homes can be toasty when we need them to be. Many models go with smartphone APPs that allow you to regulate temperature from a distance, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to techradar.com, a large technology news and reviews website, Tado's model has a voice control function,while the Nest “learns” your habits and heats the house for you.

Clothes have been given an upgrade,too.Electronic heated jackets and trousers heat up when you turn them on.What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button,or through an APP on our phones,the clothes produce heat from materials placed inside.Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours.

Finally, there is the headgear(头部装备) - Hats that have speakers which are included in the cloth using Bluetooth technology,so we can listen to our favourite music or,in some cases,have a phone call using the in-built microphone.All while keeping the head warm and avoiding coldness.

For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold.But using technology,life needn’t freeze up.There’s no reason why winter can’t be really,really cool.
