目前我国高考竞争愈演愈烈。每年考生人数近300万，而录取率在40%以下，多数考生肯定要落选。这给考生、考生的家庭和学校，乃至整个社会，都造成了很大的压力，引发了一些社会问题。此外，不同类型或特点的考生用同一模式和难度的试卷，有欠公允;三天的考试成绩便决定一个人的未来命运，亦不够合理。如何解决这些问题，改革现行的高考制度?我的意见是。
Statistics show that no more than 40% of people who take the college entrance exams pass. Because a college education is regarded as the key to a successful career, this puts enormous pressure on the applicants. It also causes social problems, as those who fail consider that they have disgraced their families.
统计显示，不超过40%的人参加高考通过。因为大学教育被认为是一个成功的事业的关键，这给申请人带来了巨大的压力。这也会引发社会问题，因为那些不认为自己有失名誉的人。
It seems to me that the exams are unfair, for three reasons: First, applicants with different abilities are faced with the same type of exam paper, second, the results of a mere three days of examination affect the applicants whole future; and third, applicants who can afford private tutors usually score higher marks than those who are poorer, but perhaps more intelligent.
在我看来，考试不公平，有三个原因：第一，申请者有不同的能力，面对同样类型的试卷，其次，考试成绩仅三天影响申请人的整个未来；和第三，申请人谁能负担私人教师通常得分较高的分数比那些谁是更差，但也许更聪明。
To improve the system of college entrance exams, I suggest the following steps: the exam papers should be graded to take into account the different levels of ability and the different backgrounds of the applicants; in addition to the actual exam, a complete assessment of the applicants educational achievements should be made; and tutoring in examination techniques should be made available to all.
为了提高高考制度，我提出以下几步：考试试卷要分为不同层次的能力和不同的申请者的背景；此外，要对申请人的教育成果进行全面的评估，并对所有的考试技巧进行辅导。
