Teaching material discussion group (15)
Hi! I 'm doing a survey on teaching materials in school. What kind of textbooks do you use? Do you think the use of photocopied(复印的) textbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted? Please give your____1___.
The use of such materials is certainly not ____2___ for writers. Textbooks are like other creative works. Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book. The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks. I can’t imagine that!
I don’t think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because it's against the law. Teachers should set a good example for their students by _____3____ the law.
Copied books are as good as copyrighted(正版的) ones, but they don't ____4___much, usually less than half the price. In addition, it is so ____5___ to use copied materials. When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied. I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway.
Most of the time, teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials. But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes, as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views. As you know, teachers always put the _____6____ of students above anything else. After all, you can't expect all the students to buy newspapers
