Many people, including students, is for it. But there are also some people are against it. Then, is it better to do so or not? Personal, I think the reform has both advantages and disadvantage. On the one hand, it can reduce students learning burden and enables English to return back to its true function. On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time studying English and attach more importance to English. If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English. Whats more, if students dont have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizons and meet the future challenges.第三节 书面表达（满分25分）假如你是李华，是一名高中生。随着科技的发展，iPad已成为中学生的新宠。用iPad既可以听音乐，阅读纯文本电子书，又可玩电子游戏。请你用英语给某英语报社写一封信，谈谈中学生使用iPad的情况。信的内容必须包括以下几点：1、使用iPad对学习的好处：2、对课堂纪律和学习可能产生的负面影响：3、提出自己的建议并说明理由。注意：开头已经给出，不计入总数。词数100字左右Dear Editor,Im a senior high school student named Li Hua.
