Dear Editor,
Recently, a discussion has been held in our school on whether it is reasonable for the universities to admit students through interviews.
The results are as follows: 60% of the students support this action. They express that interviews can evaluate a student in a more thorough and comprehensive way
It can encourage students to develop their own interests and personalities. Whats more, with the development of society, a more open,an
defficient way to test a students abilities is needed.On the other hand, the other 40% students are against this idea. They argue that first,
interviews may be subjective and onesided, which could lead to unfairness. Second, not all students are good at showing their talents in i
nterviews. Last but not least, a student can’t be judged in only three or five minutes.

M: What were you doing at twelve last night?
W: I was playing cards with my kids in the kitchen.
M: Do your kids always go to bed that late?
W: Not on weekdays.
M: Wasn’t your husband with you then?
W: He was away on business in Seattle. He will be back late this evening.
M: Anything unusual happen?
W: The light suddenly went out while we were playing. We remained silent at the table for some moments. After a while, we all heard glass
breaking somewhere on the floor above. M: Do you mean a window?
W: I’m not sure whether it was a window or a glass or something else.
M: Didn’t any one of you hear a cry or a fight? Didn’t you even consider going up for a look?
W: We were frightened at the beginning and then went to bed, as it was quiet all around.
