College students may be doubtful and think
that if they or their lover are pregnant, should they give up their current studies
as well as colorful university lives in order to give birth to their babies and
raise them when they finally make a decision to accept their children instead
of taking abortion and giving it up? As a matter of fact, they need not
sacrifice their studies. Article 26 of University Act was amended in 2008 by Ministry of Education and the amended Article
26 allows college students, both females and males, to extend their studying
term due to pregnancy, childbirth and childcare. That is to say, mothers at
college can smoothly deliver children and parents can take care of their children
for a few years without worrying about their studies. Few years later, they can
still return to university and obtain their bachelor degrees.
Before Article 26 of University Act was corrected,
most college students can only apply for temporary suspension of study for at
most 2 years. However, it takes a mother at least one and half year to go
through the pregnant period, deliver her baby, take postpartum staycation and
breastfeed. If a mother wants to continue looking after her youngster, it may
go beyond 2 years, which is the limited length for temporary suspension of
study.
Fortunately, according to the revised Article
26 of University Act in 2008 , ''A
student pursuing a bachelor degree or above may request for prolonging the
studying term on account of pregnancy, childbirth, or childcare for the toddler
under three years old. '' Moreover, The Act is suitable
for both males and females.
In terms of the
academic rules of NCU, Reg.40 notes that students can apply for temporary
suspension of study because of pregnancy, childbirth, or childcare for the
toddler under three years old. The accumulated suspension length is limited to 4
years. The period of suspension will not be taken
into account for the total suspension length. Upon the termination of the suspension
period, the birth certificate of the student’s child and relevant documents
will be used to apply for resumption of Study.
The benefits of the amended Act are as below. Young
parents can temporarily stop their studies at college. Without pressure from
studies, they have more time spending with their toddler and also, the most
importantly, they can gain more time working and earning money in order to
support the economic needs for raising a child and a family.
All in all the revised version of Article 26 of
University Act ensures students’ right to education and at the same time offer
them time to earn money and take care of the toddler during the temporary
suspension of study.

Your sources intensify your point of view clearly, and it indeed is a great news for those who is or will pregnant, and have the intention to deliver the babies in their college years. However, I hold doubt that will this law really decrease the amount of abortion? Would this law become another reason of the careless on sex? Would it in turn cause more and more single-mother appear in the university?
回覆刪除This law probably can reduce the problem with pregnant students who still want to study, but I think it will not make people choose to give birth, it just releases a part of those parents's pressure. For me, I will not decide to give a birth because I can return to the school after several years. Moreover, when the parents supports their children or make money, the others can graduate from the school. I think it still might be a pressure that when most of your peer get graduated and you still have several years for studying.
回覆刪除Your drama was really helpful to understand your topic.
回覆刪除I think economic problem is the key point.
I had watched an episode of TV series; a girl was pregnant and she chose to give birth to the kid, but she finally found that she couldn't offer her child a good environment to grow.
It was sad. In the end, she could only give her child to foster families.
So I think you can strengthen your viewpoint on economic.
I think your presentation is really good!! it gave us a clear idea about your topic and the way you present it is really catchy�� but i think maybe u can pay a little tention to your sitting posture��
回覆刪除Your speaking goes smoothly!
回覆刪除It's great that Article 26 to reform to meet the request of the college pregnant students. In the first paragraph, it'll be better that u make your topic sentence clear, which will help readers to get ur points easily.
Also, coming up with the act of Article 26 is a good idea. I suggest that you can talk more about ur attitude toward the act and give us more examples.:)
I agree with your thought. Life is the most precious thing in the world, and no one has the right to give up a new born life. However, there are still many problems. Although it seems that the laws can protect young couples, there are still problems. The most difficult part is not giving a birth, but raising up the child.
回覆刪除I like the way you and your partner present your topic.
回覆刪除I think whether to take abortion is a complex issue. It is up to not only yourself, but also your parents and lover. You can't make a decision on your own.
The way your presentation is performed is interesting. I like how you prepared the drama. The drama leaves a strong impression for us on your topic. We can see that you are well prepared and speak in a confident tone. Also I think the arguments and points you hold are clearly delivered, which is persuasive. Moreover, I agree with your point. I am against abortion because I think it is like destroying a life that is coming to the world. I think there should be another way to solve this problem.
回覆刪除It's interesting to present the presentation with the playlet, but I think that you can entirely dramatize the entire presentation, which will make it more complete.
