Private School
With the development of the society and economy, various private schools arise. When you read newspapers, turn on TV, or even walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools, mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.
However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.
Were it left to me decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. (138 words)

私立学校
随着社会经济的发展，各种私立学校日益盛行。当你在读报时，看电视时，甚至走路上时，都能看到许多关于私立学校的广告，这些学校主攻外语、计算机、音乐、体育等。
然而，私立学校如此之多，这究竟是好是坏呢?正如硬币都有正反两面，私立学校亦如此。一方面，私立学校能够迎合社会与人们的特殊需要。另一方面，因为相互攀比和竞争，它们也会给人们增添额外的负担。
我们的社会是应废止私立学校，还是应拥有私立学校呢?如果由我定夺，我会毫不犹豫地选择后者。
